Rock Salt Apocalypse

Tristan Mershon uploaded Singer Tower in its 46-minute entirety. Nate Grzechowiak has a banger of an opening part that hadn’t been shared as a single anywhere. Some of those spots must’ve been around for less than 24 hours. Pays to stay on foot.

Simple Magic rounded up the best skateboard writing of 2025, with Mike’s “What’s The Matter With Skateboarding?” shop survey piece and Jacques’ “Skateboarding & The Silver Screen” piece making the list. (Also thanks for the nod on the Tim Duncan pants piece + the waxing ledges one. Those were fun to do.)

Happy Monday — Hardbody’s “HJALTE, ROSS & ANTONIO” Video

If DANY was the origin story, The Hardbody Video was the proof of concept, OD was the ensemble, “NEVER ENUFF III” was compliments of the house, and “INTERLUDE” was …well, the interlude, Hardbody’s latest is the arrival. In the nearly two years since formally announcing a two-pro roster of Hjalte Halberg and Antonio Durao, they’ve been quietly stacking for this not-exactly-full-length, but effectively three-way shared part between the two of them and AM Ross Berkowitz, who might have the most lawyer-sounding / “I’d trust him with my divorce” name in skateboarding.

A journey through Copenhagen that overshoots a pitstop in San Francisco and lands back in Hardbody’s hometown of New York — right down to clips at E.J’s Avenue D childhood stomping grounds — “HJALTE, ROSS & ANTONIO” is what this city and the rest of the world needed to close out this year on a hype.

Who knew Hjalte was also Jamie Foy?
