Thanks to everyone who grabbed a piece of Snacks in Progress merch. We still have free shipping on all orders over $50 for the time being 📦 Shout out to the deli men who keep our lives running 24 hours.

Free has a premiere of Garrett Boozer’s opening part in Matty Hilzenrath’s all-NJ video, A $20 Of Regular. All those Peaches lines + 5050 flip back tail + the flip back noseblunt bonk on the sewer cap + the fuckin’ nose manny nollie flip on the goddamn grate bridge = one of the best Jersey parts in recent memory. We’ll be premiering a part from it this week, and hardcopies of the full thing are due out soon.

Jamie Reyes has been inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame 👑

Civil Skateshop’s first-ever full-length video is now live. Filmed enitrely in Rhode Island, our country’s smallest state with no shortage of crust and the occasional slab of inviting marble ;)

Who’s Allowed To Skate The Crib?

Daily News June 9th, 2025 · 12:00 am

So just in the past four days, the Brooklyn Banks reopened, Hardies threw a skate jam at D7 without incident (well, for the most part…), there’s a “~mini ramp~” at Tompkins, and summer *technically* hasn’t started yet…

Nico from Paris has a new bro cam edit out on YouTube that covers a trip to New York + Copenhagen, with an extended Paris section at the end. Probably one of the best places to see Kevin Rodrigues out in the wild …on the internet. Also includes Antonio, E.J., Hjalte + the bros.

A 420-foot nollie lipslide is essentially the same runtime as a 2025 rap song. Also posted this on the IG story only to have people be like, “He’s using rails!” I think you guys might be missing the point of a 420-foot nollie lipslide…

Tony Hawk skating @ the Brooklyn Banks, 2025 📍

The NYCxDesign Festival is hosting is hosting a public presentation and discussion about the upcoming remodeling of Brooklyn Borough Hall. It looks like it’s mainly concerning the parking lot-adjacent zone by the Shake Shack, not the main plaza we all skate, which was renovated in 2017. It is on Thursday, May 15 @ 6 P.M. at 209 Joralemon Street. More info here.

Tech lord Jeremy Murray has a new, mostly New York part out on Free. Fakie shuv fakie manny hardflip out on C-Benches has to be on the shortlist for most insane things done at that spot.

‘Where Were You When I Was [Pop] Shoving In The Sleeveless?’

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the webstore ❤️ Should be caught up on shipping orders soon. Available at skateshops worldwide now.

Everyone who has logged years skating Tompkins has an immediate answer to “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen walking into the Tompkins bathroom?” Let’s see if the $5 million they put into renovating it keeps it from becoming the tenth ring of hell again. Now open!

“Yeah, I think that when you show everything, it allows more people in. There are people I know who don’t skate who have watched this and for them it’s like a hero’s journey or something: You’re watching someone go through something, and you can maybe sympathize with me, or maybe think I’m insane, but you get that I’m trying really hard to do something. You don’t need to understand the context for the tricks to get that.” The menswear SubStack, Blackbird Skyplane, got the elusive Bobby DeKeyzer on the horn for an interview about his new part.

No chance you haven’t seen 5Boro’s 5Ball video by Mike Sass yet, right? Parts from Jimmy McDonald, Andrew Singh, Justin Fabus, Keith Hardy, Chris Anderson and Neil Herrick. Next time you’re around Grand Central, take a close look at the spot from the ender.

Stephan Singh has a new, all-NYC homie edit. Park Avenue noseslide shove was fire.

Emile, Jamie Platt, David Stenstrom, Dylan Mills & Kiki Kakitani went on a Polar trip to Austin and Salt Lake City. SLC really has to be a team manager’s dream.
