Choose The Sword, And You Will Go To The Banks, Choose The Ball, And You Join Your Friends At The Beach

Mike Sass uploaded a raw reel from one of 2025’s best New York parts [or anywhere-parts, for that matter]: Neil Herrick 5Ball Re-Rack. Love when you can feel the intentionality in raw file editing v.s. it feeling like a footage dump. Best of all …they just decided to throw in an entire bonus part at the end. Some of that footy is way to good to be sitting at the last two minutes of an eighteen-minute timeline. [16:30 mark.]

Krooked returned to its Gnaughty and Gnar Gnar roots and got the lo-def camera out for “Weirdo 01,” a bro cam excursion to New York featuring the majority of the team (Bobby back at Three Up!), and a mini Andrew Wilson part at the end. Feels like between this and the NBA Youngboy video (lol), remodeled Zeigfeld is having a comeback year.

“Last week there was a feeling of some divine mission having been completed, with Anti-Hero bestowing professional status upon Nick Matthews.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Nick Matthews finally getting the pro nod in its latest.

Can’t Rush A Bluntslide

Shout out to the street pool in The Bronx. They’re really using skater brains to make something out of …yeah. Not sure about diving off the scaffolding though.

“Are you a believer?” It has been over a year since the last Panorama or Rat Ratz video, but to hold you over, Spezzatura dropped “RAWR 5,” a compendium of what has gone down in the Milan skate scene since the winter. Safe to say that the subtitles are once again the funniest part. Very pretty flat at the start 🇮🇹

Ben Kadow did the “5 Greats” questionaire for Thrasher. Can’t wait for Ben to skate to Chief Keef in his next part. Also, will echo the NY Pizza Suprema sentiment 🍕 A man can really get some thinking done with a mushroom slice on the post office steps across from MSG.

Naquan Rollings continues to go through his old VX tapes, with the latest installment clocking in at 13 minutes of 2019 footy. Still committing to that back heel after the Parks Department parked at the bottom of the steps was wild. Staten Island line is a classic too. [Previously: Midtown 2017.]

Yacht Rock on The Sesh

Nelly Morville en route to the throne of best web edits of 2025. The spirit of Foghornleghornn and the sensibilities of today, plus a Logan Lara tech god clip, as a treat. If these don’t want to maker you skate with your friends, you need new friends.

“It seemed like the normal thing to do would be to pick one of those, something from my childhood. I wanted to pick a newer video instead. This video is one that has a lot of the things that I love about skate videos. You know that they’re all friends, that they skate together, and that they really tried to make the best parts they could.” — Andrew Reynolds on John’ Vid + more from Slam City Skates’ “Offerings” series.

Added Session Skate Mag‘s “SKALI” video, filmed entirely at “Skalitzer Straße” in Berlin — a flatbar lover’s paradise — to the QS One-Spot part map 📍 (Plus belatedly added Paul Young’s “Summer Of Philly Step” video filmed entirely at the BP Step in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.) Five more parts until we are at 100 one-spot parts!

Were You Guys Just At The Charli XCX Show? No, We Were Watching The Knicks Game At The Dave & Buster’s On Atlantic.

Tony Hawk skating @ the Brooklyn Banks, 2025 📍

The NYCxDesign Festival is hosting is hosting a public presentation and discussion about the upcoming remodeling of Brooklyn Borough Hall. It looks like it’s mainly concerning the parking lot-adjacent zone by the Shake Shack, not the main plaza we all skate, which was renovated in 2017. It is on Thursday, May 15 @ 6 P.M. at 209 Joralemon Street. More info here.

Tech lord Jeremy Murray has a new, mostly New York part out on Free. Fakie shuv fakie manny hardflip out on C-Benches has to be on the shortlist for most insane things done at that spot.
