“You’re Skateboarding At 30!” — Stephan Singh’s “Millions” Video

Video March 10th, 2026 · 1:10 pm · 2

It is rare that an angry homeowner yields a clip that gets screen-recorded and shared among a symphony of unconnected group chats. The ones who make it into videos either grab your board and say the cops are on the way, or douse the spot and/or you with water.

But there is just something so fucking funny about a guy screaming “you have NOTHING, you’re skateboarding at 30!” while kicking you out of a drop-in grind in front of his building, particularly at a time when there’s a culture-wide discourse about skateboarding aging and the trickle-down effects of that writ large.

Rainy Day Viewing — “Pissing In The Ocean” by Brendan Gilliam

Daily News March 3rd, 2026 · 11:53 am

We have shared some of Brendan Gilliam‘s moody autumnal edits in years back, but Pissing In The Ocean is the first full-length from his crew. Elisa Martini joins Gilliam video fixtures Nick Lane and Jacob Campbell for a video that bounces between a nebula of Ridgewood/Bushwick/Queens, industrial New Jersey, and a crew trip to Barcelona. Friends pull up along the way, and in the theater of the mind, it’s nice to think that some of these dudes just texted Gilliam on a Friday night, being like, “Yo meet me at this industrial park in New Jersey tomorrow at noon and I’ll try to film as many tricks as I can before I gotta go into work later.”

It was a windy day in Maspeth, Queens when I found Alim, 17 years old, fingerboarding at New York’s only D.I.Y. fingerboard park. “Yo, imagine I film a whole fingerboard street part, but it’s on VX1000? Ima’ change the game with that one,” he said to me. I laughed, thinking about all the tape he’d have to waste. “What you laughing at, poser?” he said to me with a grin on his face. Alim is the type of kid who says what he wants.

As we got to know each other, Alim invited me out on a few filming missions with his best friend Elisa Martini, 20 years old, a skater from Jamaica, Queens. Elisa and Alim are the youngest new members of the Bronze 56K crew. For a whole year, as Alim recovered from his ACL surgery, Elisa and him invested in a VX1000 and set out to film a video. On the morning of their video premiere, I sat down with the two friends at the Brooklyn Banks to learn more about the making of “On The Corner.”

Catalytic converter thefts are down, shark sightings in Rockaway are up, word is that the watermelon slush spot across from Labor is turning into a wraparound French restaurant 😒, and Antonio is switch flipping the Banks rail for the timeline — that’s Hollywood New York babyyyyyyyyy!

“Sometimes I go overboard and end up with too many spots to choose from. Last summer, I had so many spots saved that I got overwhelmed. It was stressing me out trying to figure out which one to focus on.” Nik Stain gave a #longform interview (first ever?) to Jared Sherbert for Thrasher on account of the new Hockey video.

“Street are popping. Somebody is playing the trumpet. This is Queens.” Elisa Martini skates Flushing and supports her local in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature. Someone’s really gotta hit Queens Night Market for one of these.
