Jeff Cecere is a filmmaker (Triple Or Nothing, This Is A Window, Mind How You Go) from Connecticut and raised in Florida, who is the creative behind the new board brand, Guest Room. I sat down with Jeff on a park bench and made a call to Caleb McNeely, the second part-owner of Guest Room to discuss the origins of their newest project ahead of their inaugural video, It’s All Perfect.

SHIT’LL BUFF is a fire new homie video by Andrew Bawtinhimer. 80% New York spots, 20% …Georgia / Florida? (Could be off.) Lost of crust, lots of bangers. Josh Baker has an absolutely incredible ender section. The closing noseblunt, the ConEd trick, and the fact they managed to go through all that trouble to unlock a new route at Chinatown Manny, only to have the camera pan and you realize after all that, he’s still landing in cobblestones? Brilliant.
Young legend Eddie Vargas Jr. spoke to Skate Jawn about his switch ollie over the Copley Square Library Gap in Boston.
On Friday, September 18, as a welcome to the Red Bull Origins event at the Brooklyn Banks on Saturday, QS hosted a photo show featuring the ongoing history at the Brooklyn Banks, with photos by Ben Colen, Mike Heikkila, Keith Denley, Quinn Batley, Mark Custer and Greg Navarro — including a prologue from the 90s with imagery by Gunars Elmuts, Giovanni Reda and Atiba Jefferson.
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.”)
Naquan Rollings uploaded Devin Flynn’s Borough Hall back 5050 heard around the world in 16:9 to his YouTube. You know something surpasses “you have to see the spot in person” when even people who have never been there’s reaction to a backside 5050 is “holy fucking shit.” That being said, it is bound to become one of those “stop, look and discuss”-spots for years to come.
Videographer Neema Joorabchi moved to Los Angeles, and dropped an edit of footage leftover from the end of his New York days entitled “sucks huh.” A mini part’s worth of Jasper Stieve clips in there, with a handful of Fort Greene bangers.
