Jenkem profiled the Utica D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy and the people who make it possible. Anytime there’s footage of dudes buying concrete, I think about the time a Home Depot employee told the Shorty’s Newark dudes that they “look like Kings of Leon” while concrete shopping.

Added the Federal Plaza section in Polymer’s Lighter Than Air video — filmed entirely at the …Federal Plaza in Akron, Ohio — to the One-Spot Part Map 📍 Didn’t know Akron had it like that.

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$nine” edit is an all-L.A. outing with a mini Thomas Dritsas part + a heelflip surprise saved for the end.

Journeys through cities are a defining characteristic of east coast and independent skateboarding videos. It’s palpable in Matt Militano’s footage, most recently his opener for Zach Sayles’ ethereal production Veil (voted one of the top ten videos of our 2023 Readers Poll and available as a hardcopy directly from Zach for the enthusiasts.)

While skateboarding that is, frankly, very difficult comes packaged with an inherent sense of sincerity, there has always been a playfulness to Matt’s skating — a byproduct of the more unexpected influences he outlines here.

The LCBO’s On Strike

“Running a business is hard work. Running a business that feels personally and creatively fulfilling is even harder. Kudos to them for not riding Alltimers into the ground, a soulless, empty thing, because that’s easy. And hey, 11 years is nothing to sneeze at. A good run is one where the people in charge know when to stop. If you run forever, you lose the chance to look back and appreciate where you’ve been and why you were running in the first place.” Simple Magic on Alltimers shutting up shop after an eleven-year run 🍸 (All of the boards are sold out, but there are some soft goods left over on the Alltimers going out of business sale if you wanted to grab a keepsake.)

“I’ve had a few ABDs in video parts that I battled and had no idea. One of them was Mark Suciu so I was like fuck it, I’ll use it.” Jenkem spoke to Matt Militano about his journey through sponsorships, the Foundation van, ABDs, and prank shows.

Words by Frozen in Carbonite

This year, the owners of my local bar revived an institution from The Before Times™: music trivia.

I call it music trivia, but it mostly consists of “name that tune” — the DJ plays 12 snippets (usually in a category like Eighties, Nineties, Songs about Beer ‘n Trucks) and you have to name the artist and title. Eighties is my shit; country my achilles heel. ANYWAY, this was the first time playing without drinking. Whenever I go to a bar, if they don’t have legit NA beers, I get a Red Bull and some appetizers because I feel like a dummy hanging out for hours and not spending any money. You pay for the experience. The ambience.

ANYWAY, I won ten bucks. I was psyched, but even more psyched at the end of the night when I saw the name the bartender entered for my tab.

It appears we have a clear frontrunner for a top slot on 2023’s year-end accolades: Zach Sayles uploaded Matt Militano’s part from Veil over the long weekend. Everything from cellar door wizardry (the wallride to slappy crook on the brick window-sill…) to extended Muni choreography to the physics-defying ender cements this one up there in contention with Curren, Mason, and… who else?

W O W: Solo interviewed Darude about “Sandstorm” and his feelings about it becoming the official anthem of the Dime Glory Challenge. He’s a skater! Truly is heartwarming when worlds harmoniously collide like this; it’s like Ed Bacon skating Love Park-level of beautiful.
