Best Bloody In Wynnwood

That feeling when you got your QS Knicks hat in the first six months they were available and don’t need to send “any restock on the Knicks hats?” e-mails after they won the title • 📷 via Chad Moore

Greg Navarro and Jenkem’s video of profile of Ari Misurelli and Luca Mayer racked up over half-a-million views in less than a week. While it’s horrifying that they don’t have any friends their age who take skateboarding “seriously” — for context, that is about half the amount of views that the reigning S.O.T.Y’s part got in 7ish months. People wanna see the youth skate. Hopefully, that makes more of ’em skate, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Everyone’s favorite skater, Gus Gordon, has a new part out for Pepper Griptape. Best front crook in the biz probably, right?

“Fuck, it’s a lot more than a fucking Instagram account.” Skate Jawn has a #longform photographer interview with the resident Homies Network documentarian, Mark Custer.

Threepeat — Jeff Cecere’s ‘Triple or Nothing’ Video

Few hours late, but life, yaknow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For the third Christmas in a row, Jeff Cecere and friends have brought us a video of wholesome family entertainment to heal our minds after being pummeled by S.O.T.Y-aspirant epics.

Triple Or Nothing takes the Antonio in Johnny’s Vid approach of just throwing the trick everyone is waiting for right in the opening seconds, but with the added twist of saving another wild Reggaeton Ledges-adjacent ollie for the closing minutes of the video. Zac Gavin and Johnny Cumaoglu return to build on their third-eye sensibilities from the last project (switch crook on that underpass ledge is absurd), a lot of Krooked extended family members + Dick Rizzo pop by for cameos, and Salomon Cardenas pulls through with his finest work to date. Not a bad slate for what has to now be one of the best video franchises of the 2020s.

Lotta Brodies, One Ledge

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” video is a slice of life montage into what it is like to spend hours on end at the refurbished Tompkins Square Park, circa 2024. Could basically be VR. That backflip guy has to go back and get that. #tfreport.

“I don’t make something unless I really like it and think it’s fire and cool and I want to wear it — or I think it’ll sell. Usually the shit that I think is the best and all my friends think is the coolest doesn’t do well. Then the shit that I’m like, ‘Whatever, this is bullshit’ — it sells out.” A tale as old as time. Village Psychic interviewed Myles Underwood, the mind behind Fuck This Industry.

Theories shared Josh Feist’s part from Traffic’s It’s Completely Fine video. Heavy on the Philly clips, lots of insanely crustaceous spots, and those tricks from the black marble rock onto the cement ledge are wild.
