Johnny Cumaoglu with the first Small Banks clip heard around the ~~world~~ DMs + ok, so now we need a Shintaro Hongo one-spot part at the Brooklyn Banks, ASAP + @banks_at_six Small Banks reportage has begun 🧱 (“You wanna skate a curb in Central Park??? We’re going to the Banks, buddy! Six o’clock!”)

We are a long way from “cherry.” Last week coincided with two profiles of its stars and their grown-up lives: Christian Kerr profiled Tyshawn Jones for Hypebeast (“This is probably my last interview for a while. We’re going to let the skating talk. Then when the skating is done, they’ll ask for more interviews”) + Sage Elsesser was profiled by the High Snobiety magazine.

Many people first caught onto Johnny Cumaoglu’s skating through his friend Tristan Mershon’s Fool’s Gold video, a pandemic-era New York project released in early 2021 that had everyone from Blue Park to T.F. asking, “Where the hell are those spots?” (Bonus points if you, of course, were tapped in to the vibrant world of 2010’s New Jersey videos though.) A bit has changed since then: Johnny has a spot on the WKND roster, a recurring role in Jeff Cecere’s 2022-2024 three-peat, and he is no longer a DC Lynx absolutist.

But some things are the same. He is still filming with Tristan on a VX, and has the closing part in his Singer Tower video (his first full-length in 4+ years, hardcopies are for sale!), which we are proud to present to you today.

Threepeat — Jeff Cecere’s ‘Triple or Nothing’ Video

Daily News December 17th, 2024 · 4:53 pm · 1

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.

Needed This! — Jeff Cecere’s ‘This Is A Window’ Video Is Now Live

Daily News December 11th, 2023 · 2:00 pm · 1

Just as Mind How You Go served as a soothing reprieve from Skateboard Oscars Season™ last December, Jeff Cecere‘s This Is A Window is the comfort-viewing we all need right now. Still got a queue of S.O.T.Y. contender parts since the last Top 10 got filed, but this was an immediate click and watch-through-the-whole-way experience. (Raise your hand if there are any 4-5 minute parts from the past few months that still took two sittings to get through ✋)

Jeff & co. are in that proverbial “window” (sorry, too easy), where each video compounds in quality from the last one. Both the skating and the craftsmanship behind the video are already somehow greater than they were in the already-great Mind How You Go. It’s a phenomenon we all witnessed while watching sequential videos from Bronze, Johnny & co. and the Duplex dudes over the years — which makes it all the more fitting that pretty much all of them come together under one umbrella in this one.

Naquan Rollings released a new edit on YouTube. Mostly L.A. stuff, with a bit of New York. Features all the staple characters from Naquan edits, and an impeccable transition from Sada Baby to MF Doom, whose MM..Food album has been #trending a bit as of late…

Jason Byoun made a recap edit of the Hardbody trip to L.A. Lots of food pics. Hard to watch and not get hungry 🌯

Torn to shit by weather and use, bondo’d back to functionality, and still standing — the Trenton Banks have to be one of the longest-standing O.G. New Jersey spots at this point. Phat House dropped a “10 Years of Trenton Banks” covering a greatest hits of their crew’s footage at the spot, and including a young Ishod Wair doing something obviously insane.

Simple Magic released an updated version of its Skaters With Glasses Power Ranking, which can’t resist the easy puns like “he may need glasses, but [Diego] Todd’s vision is 20/20 when it comes to finding and figuring out interesting, unassuming, and downright dangerous skate spots.”
