Nachos For Dinner

Daily News November 9th, 2026 · 12:00 am

The Banks wallride rodeo flip (still a [?] btw) from last week’s countdown originated from a great New York x New Jersey edit by SK8FILES, entitled “Do A Flip” — lots of footy from Peaches, Fidel does an absolutely fucked Chauncey trick in addition to the wallride + the nose manny into the steps kickflip at Borough Hall was fire.

Truly hope that Nick Kirch’s new Free part gets some year-end superlative consideration because between the skating itself, the spot selection, and the element of surprise within, it is one of the best parts of 2026. That Police Plaza line is up there with ~~Jamie Thomas~~ Nate Rojas at the Banks and Antonio at Times Square as one of the best lines ever done in this city. Also love how it’s the only clip he bothered getting in New York.

“This city is fuckin’ hip-hop.” Our friend Carolina Gamboa is the latest spender in Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series.

Videographer Simone Rocca just dropped his Rome scene video, AWFUL BLISS, which him and his crew spent the past five years filming for 🇮🇹

Griffin’s Skate Video is a 34-minute New York video from the same young crew that brought you the “Return of the Genius” edit from the spring, beautifully filmed on a potato. [And/or maybe a Y2K-era digi cam?] It is a blend of the lovingly absurd (e.g. drop-in’s off U-Haul trucks, whatever 1:35 is) and some incredible skating (that 5050 then wallride line at 135th and Riverside!) And if you’re the old-man-yells-at-cloud type (“I don’t get it! Is it …ironic?!”), please do remember that DLX was doing the same exact goddamn thing twenty years ago ;)

Tristan Rowean dropped a new part for Free by Neema Joorabchi. Heavy on the New York clips, and your legs will feel tired just watching the second-to-last Fort Greene trick. Paine Webber no-push ollie was insane, too.

Clips Regardless

Naquan Rollings posted up a four-minute dispatch from Tompkins this summer. Some Nikolai wizardry on the ledge, some psycho John Dilo mannys, and naturally, a giant NYCShawn tre.

Suciu, Cooper Qua, Nicole Hause and Jiro all skated a bunch of New York staples in a new Thunder Trucks four days in New York edit. It’s insane that after probably hours-worth of Suciu parts, he can still make you say “wtf” out loud at the screen. That 180 into the brick bank just outside the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge is insane. Same one from the crazy Alan Bell slam. (“Bro, that slam fucking sucked.”)

2025? Waxing ledges was contagious. 2026? Hell Rides are contagious.

Solid bit of New York footage, including a marathon line at the Museum, in Denny Pham’s globe-trotting “Intersections” part that went live on Free last week.

Someone at the Late Nite Stars video department saw that Jiro concoction and decided it’s a good time to finally drop the montage of their crew on the “Stars of Midnight” obstacle. Cooper Winterson opens up the LNS montage on the most Cooper Winterson obstacle ever, and the set-ups only get wackier from there ;)

“I would love some …poke bowl.” Petar Stantchev spends some Euros on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Didn’t know Barcelona just had wild boars running around the hills.
