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.

Keys To The City — The Making of Palace’s ‘DETROIT 313’ with Lev Tanju

In the summer of 2026, an exhibition on the history of skateboarding at London’s Southbank Undercroft took place in a subterranean venue next to the world-renowned spot. In this corner beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall, which was once part of the Undercroft itself, short films from communities connected to Southbank’s past and present played on loop. They were directed by and featured skateboarders the spot had incubated: the professionals whose careers it has been intrinsic to, the filmmakers whose archives present an ethnography of the area, the 100-strong crew of skate moms who meet regularly, and an atmospheric work by Lev Tanju, the founder and creative director of a generational entity born out of the brutalist landmark: Palace Skateboards.

There comes a time in every skate tank’s life where it ceases to merely get you TO the spot, and it …becomes the spot. The rubicon has been crossed.

“Chris Joslin never did no shit like this.” Jamal Smith is back in front of the camera, mic’d up at the skatepark …in the snow. Can’t wait for episode two.

“Return of the Genius” is a new eight-minute edit by Carlo Campos of the Genius crew. It is a beautiful inferno of absolutely insane manny combos, all filmed in New York. Anyone confused by the madness within should find solace in the ancient proverb: the chaos of the youth’s manual tricks is reflective of the world they have inherited from their elders. (Should’ve been it’s own post, but last week was a hectic backend one at the office 😵‍💫)

Alexis Lacroix having an allotment of ohhhhh yeaaaaahhhh’s in Dime videos is very funny.

Innit — Palace’s ‘Beta Blockers’ Video

Daily News August 15th, 2023 · 1:02 pm · 2

Was under the impression that Beta Blockers would be A Small Palace Video — maybe because it’s August and the skate media mental calendar often saves the year’s blockbuster releases for the holidays — but no, Beta Blockers is A Big Palace Video spanning the whole team, and at a Palasonic-equivalent runtime. In August! What a world.

Looks Pretty Dope

Congrats to E.T. on going pro 🍸 Board available on the Alltimers site now • Photo by Anthony Asfour.

Added Kevin Braun’s “Pier 7” part + Casper Brooker’s “Cathedral” part filmed entirely at Southbank (it’s actually the fourth inclusion to be filmed entirely at SB) to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map, which is slowly creeping its way to 100 spots :)

There is absolutely no way you haven’t already caught these, right? Jamal Smith skates to his own music and returns to the Ithaca Park that made him a superstar in his new Adidas part (that heelflip front blunt!) + Jahmir Brown pays homage to Javier Nuñez’s front crook off the Courthouse Drop in his new DC part.
