T-Funk’s financial advice to his future children: “Don’t look up to me.” He thinks Tom Scharr is trying to be Bob Burnquist, but Bob Burnquist says he himself wants to be Tom Scharr. Satan’s Drano siphoned the Hot Ones format through a satanic offshoot of 90s public access TV for their show, The Last Supper, and their first guest is Tristan Funkhouser.

Melodi dropped a quick edit for their Spitfire collab. Mostly New York clips, with a lot of homies. Quinn, Coles, Gabe ‘n them :)

Village Psychic has the web premiere of Kevin Barthold’s part in A 20 Of Regular, which covers every genre of New Jersey crust imaginable.

Some spots only last a day. Neil Herrick talks through three photos and a couple of trick battles he had from 5Boro’s 5Ball video with Skate Jawn.

“In the 80s in the New York, Halloween was a license for craziness. It was beyond egging cars. It was a lot of violence…” TWS spoke with O.G. Bruno Musso (if you have the Full Bleed book, that’s Musso on the cover) about the 80s and early 90s days of the Brooklyn Banks.

A Report From Inside The Meeting About the Brooklyn Borough Hall Park Redesign

A few weeks back, we had a note about a proposal to redesign the public space surrounding Brooklyn Borough Hall. And last Thursday, DBP, a not-for-profit local development organization that oversees the downtown Brooklyn area, held an open-to-the-public meeting with two architecture design firms to present their vision for the area in 2030.

Since Borough Hall is no-doubt the most popular street spot in all of Brooklyn — and the plaza already had a skatestopping attempt via an AstroTruf and planter combo back in 2019 when Eric Adams was Brooklyn Borough President — it made sense that there were concerned skateboarders present among the Brooklyn residents and architecture students to see what they had in mind. Our correspondent Greg Navarro reported back from the meeting.

A Quarter Century

We obvs don’t know every skate crew in the country, but from a mediated standpoint, it’s hard to think of a crew as aggressively productive as Duplex. The fact that they do it all just off Saturdays and Sundays is INSANE. Our buddy Greg Navarro flew down to Florida to tag along with them and document how it all gets done for Thrasher‘s new “Lifers” series.

Bronze 56k dropped an edit to push their NB# shoe, starring Jordan Trahan, Shaun Paul and Marcello Campanello — with a cameo by the venerable William McFeely. Huge year for hitting Flushing in the snow.

The South Beach Macy’s ledge ranks as something that — despite walking past it every Miami trip ever — we’re perfectly ok never skating. But Zoogie and the crew always get the most out of this innocuous high, beveled ledge with no end. Wolff’s ender is dope.

Our buddy Lui Elliott’s family lost their home in the tragic fires currently happening in Southern California. Please donate if you have the means to help them out. ❤️

The best bits of skate content from the past week are Peter Sidlauskas’ dives into skate spot lore of yesteryear, specifically spots that have fallen into the ashes of time via redevelopment: L train roof bank, the Wythe Street ledge, and of course, the Autumn Bowl.

The youngs rip, man. “Looking To Be” is a ten-minute video by Chris Argueta featuring the new gen stacking in New York. All NY clips, with Three Up Three Down continuing to endure as New York’s greatest skate spot, generation after generation.
