Jake Keenan was the victim of a horrific act of violence on July 4th, and was hospitalized for the injuries he sustained as a result. If you have the means, please donate to Jake’s family’s GoFundMe to assist with medical costs. Anything helps ❤️

We are hosting a wallride jam with Adidas at Blue Park tomorrow, Tuesday, July 21 @ 5 P.M. until sundown. Cash for tricks 💰 A handful of Adi riders. Same vibe as the long ledge jam, but yaknow …on a wall. Inspired by the long-knobbed Graham & Grand spot a few blocks away.

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.

“The thing is, if H&M knocks on the door tomorrow, buys the building out, we can’t do shit. We can’t win. But what we can do while we last is prove that we are trying.” WNYC profiled Kyota Umeki, and his family’s long-running St. Mark’s businesses, Search & Destroy and Kenka, which he runs with his brother. Cannot wait for Kyota to be mayor. [Related: Our interview with him from 2023, conducted on the eve of him opening the Star Shop before being old enough to buy a beer.] In hindsight, I feel bad for having a panic attack during Q2 of Game 4 while watching it at Kenka with everyone — because what better place to watch the greatest Finals comeback in history — but sometimes you need to stand two feet from your TV alone completely dehydrated, and hope the plane isn’t crashing 🤗 Thank you O.G. Anunoby, the most effective anti-anxiety drug / pilot.

“EZ FUN” is the new video blog entry from Kader Sylla and Tristan Warren. Starts out with some New York stuff up through the Violet premiere some weeks back. That handrail on East Houston is bound to see a good number of visitors this summer ;)

Let’s get personal: Are you a 2026 Monday Links reader? Thank you. You know what this means. We have celebrated the 2011 Mavs, we celebrated the 2019 Raptors — and we were confident this would never happen. Thank you for being along for the ride. This is special for all of them. Jose’s arc is particularly beautiful. Do you want editorial? Sorry. This is fucking insane. Bye. (You’re a 2026 Monday Links reader. You get it.)

Also, if you are in the “I thought I’d cry if this ever happened, why am I not crying”-crowd… watch the Mike Breen video. Thanks Mike.

Go Skate Day will be at the Brooklyn Banks this Sunday, June 21st from 1-5 P.M. 🧱

The Small Banks are open + Jeezy paid a visit to the Big Banks ☃

L.E.S. Park was on Law & Order.

“We finished the day …at Bunna Cafe.” Poe Pinson is the latest spender on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series for their 40th episode. Ocean Hill clips were fire. (If there are ever budget cuts at Jawn HQ, Gothamist laid out a template for a NYC-based “$20 Chill” last week. Yes, Manhattan still has a bar that gives you a free hot dog if you buy a beer. It’s no Bunna tho.)

“Fever Dream” is a new 12-minute Massachusetts scene video by Shawn MacMillan filmed mainly on chunks of crust and featuring Connor Noll, Cooper Qua, Eddie Vargas, and others.
