Game of G.R.A.T.E. — Full Series

Video July 7th, 2026 · 10:30 am · 1

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 🤝

Couches Burning

“The thing is, if H&M knocks on the door tomorrow, buys the building out, we can’t do shit. We can’t win. But what we can do while we last is prove that we are trying.” WNYC profiled Kyota Umeki, and his family’s long-running St. Mark’s businesses, Search & Destroy and Kenka, which he runs with his brother. Cannot wait for Kyota to be mayor. [Related: Our interview with him from 2023, conducted on the eve of him opening the Star Shop before being old enough to buy a beer.] In hindsight, I feel bad for having a panic attack during Q2 of Game 4 while watching it at Kenka with everyone — because what better place to watch the greatest Finals comeback in history — but sometimes you need to stand two feet from your TV alone completely dehydrated, and hope the plane isn’t crashing 🤗 Thank you O.G. Anunoby, the most effective anti-anxiety drug / pilot.

“EZ FUN” is the new video blog entry from Kader Sylla and Tristan Warren. Starts out with some New York stuff up through the Violet premiere some weeks back. That handrail on East Houston is bound to see a good number of visitors this summer ;)

The #form in this episode is absolutely incredible on both ends … and if you want to know why he stepped off that, none of us have any idea. You can’t hear the reaction as well in the video, but pretty much everyone there had the same one: “DUDE, WHAT?! WHY?!”

“Was Waiting For That One” — Violet’s “SQUEAKY” Video

Daily News June 16th, 2026 · 3:26 pm · 2

Violet‘s long-awaited, years-in-the-making “SQUEAKY” video is live. Well, it went live on Sunday morning, and usually we try to post one of the year’s marquee releases way before it has …74,000 views, but some stuff happened in Texas on Saturday night, so the proceeding two days were not the most productive stints at the office.

At the premiere, we sat a few rows in front of Joey Marrone and a bunch of Philly heads, and any time Mike Ward or Kris Brown would pop on the screen — whether it was an actual trick, BGPs, their name — they would scream, “Mike Ward! I love that guy! Kris Brown! I love that guy!” It was funny right away, and then there was a moment of “wait are they dragging this,” and shortly thereafter, it got even funnier into becoming a full laugh out loud bit that continued up until their names appeared in the credits. I can’t read Mike or Kris’ name without visualizing them ending with an exclamation point anymore :) Just a really great premiere memory, and why IRL stuff like packing out a theater is so important.
