Museum Hours Are Fleeting

Daily News September 21st, 2026 · 12:00 am

We are hosting another Long Ledge Jam with Adidas at Tompkins next Wednesday, September 30th @ 4 P.M. 📅 Even longer ledge! Even more cash for tricks! Check the recap from last year’s to relive the magic.

“Maybe people want to see our videos, but they don’t really buy boards anymore, or they get free boards, or they don’t want to buy skate apparel or whatever; that’s all fine. I get it. But maybe they would be down to pay five bucks for a video, just to support it so that that person, their team or crew, can keep making them.” Simple Magic spoke to Grant Yansura on the eve of the UNC release to see if there’s any way you can make your money back on a video.

Clips Regardless

Naquan Rollings posted up a four-minute dispatch from Tompkins this summer. Some Nikolai wizardry on the ledge, some psycho John Dilo mannys, and naturally, a giant NYCShawn tre.

Suciu, Cooper Qua, Nicole Hause and Jiro all skated a bunch of New York staples in a new Thunder Trucks four days in New York edit. It’s insane that after probably hours-worth of Suciu parts, he can still make you say “wtf” out loud at the screen. That 180 into the brick bank just outside the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge is insane. Same one from the crazy Alan Bell slam. (“Bro, that slam fucking sucked.”)

Whether you’ve been living under a rock for a month, or you want to relive the magic all in one sitting …or you just need some shit to throw on the screen while everyone gets their shit together to go skate for the day, here is the entirety of the Game of G.R.A.T.E. series in one video. The order they went down IRL is the order they were released, which is also the order that they are presented in here. Thanks to everyone who participated, everyone who was involved in the production, and everyone with kind words to say about the series. We hope to do more stuff like this in the future, yes 🤝

Game of G.R.A.T.E. — Mark Suciu v.s. Jiro Platt

Back in the fall, when a couple of Adidas heads were in town for the Long Ledge Jam, we had an idea to get a few of them and a few local-based friends to do a casual, multi-person game of S.K.A.T.E. over the Flushing grate flat gap. Here was a spot that you could run single clips over in your part maybe ~25 years ago, but in the ensuing quarter-century, pretty much every single flip trick imaginable had been done. It is probably up to par for some talented skaters to get competitive over. Unfortunately, due to a few logistical issues, it didn’t work out in the fall.

Last month, however, we made it happen. We got eight skaters to Flushing by noon! That was a miracle in and of itself.

Have you been waiting your entire life for P. Tricky to open up a video?

Something — the universe, fate, astrology — is saying today may be your lucky day. Maybe!

Naquan Rollings took the “Roadkill” series over to his YouTube channel for the latest installment. (The first three are over on Thrasher.) It features part’s worth of footage from Chucky Lane, Pero Simic, Jiro Platt and Christian Henry, and frequent appearances from Nikolai Piombo, Carl Aikens, Ish Cepeda, Mark Suicu, and many more. It is a half New York / half Paris project — actually, maybe it leans a lil’ heavier on the hometown clips.
