25 Summers

ICYMI: Bam @ the Banks. Beautiful.

“The actual act of skating may well be regarded these days as a springboard to male modeling, coaching-obligatory Olympic dream chasing, or a ticket to hanging out with the dads skating the curb in front of the skatepark.” Boil the Ocean uses the summer’s premier blockbuster film as a springboard to explore skateboarding’s 2026 ailments. One went unmentioned though: there’s no 2026 Bam. Or Ryan. Or Tony.

The Skate Muzik podcast has a Marc Johnson tribute episode full of the songs that have been used throughout his parts.

“They just seem to think we’re gonna keep hanging out forever, keep going to these parties, and keep going to the skatepark. But no one really realizes there’s gonna be a last day you all show up there.” Anthony Pappalardo The Writer interviewed Genesis C.E.O. Ian Ostrowski. He’s not wrong: it was yesterday that we were all locked down in January ’21 watching Genesis 2.

Happy New Year ✨

“I try to laugh as much as I can, be hyped and just try to push myself to remember shit can be so much worse. The most random shit gets me pumped, I really just remember to talk to strangers, smile, or whatever. It really works.” Monster Children posted their profile of Q.S.S.O.T.Y. Karim Callender online.

“I’m not gardening, but I would be down to.” They also shared an interview with Diego Todd.

Skate Jawn went out to Cleveland for Zack May to spend the first hundo of 2026 in the latest installment of their “$100 Chill” series. Shout out to all the wholesome fellas out there allocating a bit of their $100 for their girlfriends. And shout out to pirogies.

Yoooo… calling this edit from David Mauvais and his crew a “footy dump” is crazy. The front board body varial bigspin thing in The Bronx, the ollie off the manny pad at Seventh and Greenwich, the switch tre lip, wow. All New York x New Jersey x Philly clips.

“Floorspace” is a very sick upstate New York edit from Martin Wilson. Great filming, cutty spots, fast skating, timeless vibes.

Montreal That Was Switch

Our friends at Skate Jawn celebrated their 15th birthday last week. To commemorate, they brought a 1999 Toyota Camry and Hell Camino to K-Bridge and skated them.

Seems like there’s a new sub-genre of skate content brewing where we all try to get to the bottom of what’s the “matter,” “wrong” or “off” about skateboarding. Bubble just dropped one boldly called “A Few Theories Why Skateboarding Got Old And Is Not Cool Anymore.” (Their sources aren’t anonymous like ours were.) Can’t help but point out that other interests that hold this media empire together (rap, NBA basketball, etc.) have also been the subjects of recent “OMG WHAT’S THE MATTER” panics, and pretty sure those’ll be fine. Like what’s doing “well” as a “culture” in 2025 even mean? The bop house?
