You The World

For the life of me, cannot backtrack to where this screengrab originated from, but it was definitely a non-American skate video from January. Anyone?

Mike Heikkila is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, and presumably the first person to ever get a haircut on Blubba. Good reminder to keep that lotion on you this winter.

The Palace team (+ Lucien Clarke’s mom) gather around the TV to rewatch their seminal all-London video from 2017, Palasonic. Would be dope to see them commentate on the Bronze x Palace Paramount video, which feels a bit “forgotten” within each’s respective videography.

“The idea that I could make a show about skateboarding, but wouldn’t be relegated to ‘skate art’ but be taken seriously as an art show that happens to be about skateboarding, was something I am grateful for.” Esteban Jefferson spoke to Monster Children about his new solo show that is inspired by the Brooklyn Banks. It is on view @ 303 Gallery on W. 21st Street until February 26.

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.

“I feel like I know enough about Jack the Ripper.” Kyle Wilson spends the USD-equivalent of $127 (!) and gets a £3 fade in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “£100 Chill” series.

Videographer Lannie Rhoades posted up an extended cut of a 2019 Volcom trip to New York with Milton Martinez (S.O.T.Y. year), Louie Lopez, Simon Bannerot, and more. Simon’s 4x ollies at the Jerome Avenue Banks will forever rank as one of the most insane tricks ever done in New York + Milton’s line there + Con-Ed ollie is also completely fucked.
