“You’re Skateboarding At 30!” — Stephan Singh’s “Millions” Video

It is rare that an angry homeowner yields a clip that gets screen-recorded and shared among a symphony of unconnected group chats. The ones who make it into videos either grab your board and say the cops are on the way, or douse the spot and/or you with water.

But there is just something so fucking funny about a guy screaming “you have NOTHING, you’re skateboarding at 30!” while kicking you out of a drop-in grind in front of his building, particularly at a time when there’s a culture-wide discourse about skateboarding aging and the trickle-down effects of that writ large.

Tired In Manhattan

Neema Joorabchi’s new video, “if u kno,” has parts from Isaac White and Jasper Stieve, who might’ve turned in one of the most impressive collections of tricks on two wheels done within New York City limits. Hurricane to manny Fort Greene! The Dill Family Court ender …switch! And more! (Still feel guilty about not giving this one its proper due on the front page on account of some timezone juggling, but Jasper’s probably working on another part already, right?)

“Hey man, do you think maybe we could just go to a dead-end street where no one will bother us, and just skate a ledge? We could film, but we could also just chill.”

“Business²” is an eleven-minute edit from Hefty Krew. All New York clips, with some fire Brandon Johnson footage at the end.

Kicked Out of Nowhere

Scumco seems to be shutting its doors. “Fading into oblivion” is how they worded it. Boards + more are on sale on their webstore if you’re looking for one last ride ❤️

Better late than never! Thrasher uploaded the edit of Tyshawn’s S.O.T.Y. trip to Australia from last year after it being stuck in music rights limbo forever. The footage of the backside flip from the cover is so nuts. Co-starring Will Jones.

Tipping Points is a sick upstate New York-based video by Taryn Ward with parts from Japhey Dow, Justin + Nate Grzechowiak, Jonny Goupil, and more.

Nico Marti made a 35-minute bro-cam video in the Krooked Gnaughty mode alongside his crew filming for Late Nite Stars’ O video.

It’s All on U

“There also might be a slight difference in the value of technicality. I think a nollie crook means more to us out here than it may out west to you.” Heckride has a #longform interview with the man behind the lens of many of your favorite clips, Paul Young.

“Then I counted Tyshawn’s part and he only has 32 tricks in Blessed which was his S.O.T.Y. part. It made me realize that it’s not necessarily the quantity of tricks that makes a part good.” Korahn Gayle chats about some of his biggest influences for Slam City Skates’ “Visuals” series.

Can’t imagine many local residents are bummed about this, but something for the “Summer Trip to New York” video-makers to keep in mind: you’re not gonna have an easy time getting an Airbnb in New York.

Late Pass – Nico Marti’s ‘be honest’ Video

The first thing you notice about Nico Marti’s new video is how cold the first few minutes feel: the footage in gloves, visible breath, an added level of last-try desperation at a midtown bust.

As your viewing experience continues, some questions come up. Wait, are there parts in this? Did they just leave New York? What is this pleasant music? Wait — is that fucking Channing Tatum?

Be Honest is a follow-up to All Those Days, which was a Texas video born out of the pandemic-era boom in local videography. Some of the other outlets labeled it a New York vid by mostly Texas ex-pats, but there’s a massive Texas section sandwiched between the beginning and ends back in New York.
