Skate Jawn has a Khaw Wangkaji and friends edit by Hans Klein, entirely filmed in New York — which is where the absolutely psychotic 360 flip into the escalator bank at World Trade from last week’s Top 10 originated from. The 5050 front biggie on the Brooklyn Bridge Park rail + the tre lip in Long Island City were both nuts as well. Lots to enjoy.

Free has a premiere of Mark Humienik and Grady Smith’s part in Tristan Mershon’s Singer Tower video, which effectively acts as a throwback VX Bronze crew section within the video + Skate Jawn has a premiere of Josh Narvaez’s Singer Tower part.

Zander Mitchell kickflips halfway down the bank at the Battery Park roof ledge-to-bank across from South Ferry, and skates the Courthouse Drop like a bank-to-ledge [?!] in his pro part for Jacuzzi Unlimited. The ender is some galaxy brained light-footedness.

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.

There are a lot of banger recaps from Glory Challenge, but Naquan made the best one of all-around vibes.

Naquan also made a sick mini Amir Denis part. Smith at Cadman was lovely.

The summertime Tompkins edits have started to come in as the high-season winds down: 1) “$$$seven” by [yes, third link in a row] Naquan Rollings, which includes a triumphant return-to-NY back tail by Coles Bailey on the most inventive T.F. obstacle of the New Asphalt Era. 2) Japanese homies Joetaro Saito + Aoto Yoroi doing some of the flowiest lines all throughout the park by Shaquille Waite.

Loophole Wheels Presents: Dustin Eggeling & Mark Humienik’s ‘2nd Visions’ Part

Video June 10th, 2024 · 12:00 pm · 1

Zach Chamberlin and the urethane purveyors at Loophole Wheels recently premiered a new full-length video called 2nd Visions. They were kind enough to share Dustin Eggeling and Mark Humienik’s shared section in their latest — two easterners wading their way through Bay Area inclines and cutty patches of crust, with a few New York clips peppered through. Our noseslide awards have been spotty over the past couple of years, but that one inside the planter that Mark does is sure to be in contention if there’s budget for a Noseslider of the Year ceremony later in 2024…

In case you missed them, Grey shared Andréa Dupré & Guillaume Nozieres’ shared part last week (that tre flip nose manny should’ve probably been on Top 10…) and Free shared Hiroki Muroka’s part a couple months back.

We have our first one-spot video of 2024! Kurt Havens filmed a video entirely at the Abraham Lincoln statue in Prospect Park to show the world how much joy and creativity could be extracted from an innocuous patch of smooth stone in the middle of a big, green park. It has been added to the QS One-Spot Part Map 📍🐢

“The ConEd Banks sit quietly near the entrance to a mysterious 300-acre parcel of land that has been a site of energy, pollution, and controversy for over 100 years.” Village Psychic wrote the history of the ConEd Banks, which has a strong crossover with the New York hardcore scene of the 1980s. (Before anyone asks, yes we have looked into doing a “Favorite Spot” with Zered about it, but the consensus seemed to be that the footy was too scattered.)

Paris De Noche is the new video from Naquan Rollings filmed in New York, Philly and Paris, with standout clips from Jahmir Brown and Carl Aikens.
