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.

Dubbed by Boil the Ocean as “the patron saint of clipping up,” this man from Tim Savage and co’s Free Game video has our vote ❤️

Readers Poll voting opens later today… 🗳

Max Hull put together a great recap of the Light Rail Riot / Friendsgiving Jam at the Hole Bowl in Newark. Kinda figure these guys are going to be doing these every year. (For those who don’t know, the Hole Bowl is the successor to the belated Newark Shorty’s D.I.Y.)

SOAP OPERA is a new Rochester scene video from Michael Breitmaier (you may recall his Memoir video from 2023), featuring parts from Adam Kerrick, Justin Grzechowiak, David Kimball and more. Lots of beautiful VX upstate crust, some downstate trips, and Euro excursions. Something about that Berlin manny pad spot feels like it’d fit in upstate New York.

Vague has a premiere of Neil Herrick’s part in Tristan Mershon’s new video, Singer Tower. Loved the Police Plaza choreography and the unlocking of the out ledge at Brick Nine.

Way back when, we were reporting on a new skatepark across the Atlantic opening and someone left a now-immortal comment.

“I’ve always wondered what skatepark builders have against STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGES. I live in CO and there’s a skatepark in every town with A 20 foot cradle but not a STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGE at any of em. What are the kids gonna do with a 20 FOOT CRADLE?!?! Just build us a STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGE and be done with it!”

In the twelve years since, anytime we have reported on a built-for-skateboarding structure, we simply had to commentate on whether or not the park, plaza, et al. included a …Straight Fucking Ledge™.

Today, more New York City skateparks have Straight Fucking Ledges™, though probably not in the abundance that a Straight Fucking Ledge™-enthusiast would want.

Fully Loaded 360 — Jiro Platt’s Habitat Part

Had a bit of a Mandela effect going on seeing this called Jiro’s “welcome” to Habitat part: hasn’t he been on for, like, ever?

The fact that the term “forever” can even be employed when talking about Jiro or his board sponsor status is evidence-enough of time’s ceaseless march. Most people first caught onto Jiro’s skating via those ExtraCrispyNYC edits from the late 10s/early 20s, but anyone calling this his first proper part would be mistaken.
