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?!”
For the past, idk, ten months maybe — Antonio Durao has been referring to everybody as “O.G.” It didn’t matter what your age was, you were O.G. The dude pulling up to Tompkins? “O.G.” The cashier at the store? “O.G!” An actual O.G? “O.G!!!” O.G. Anunoby? OMG.
Things come together in cosmic ways, because the name that he matched up with from the mystic Quartersnacks Knicks hat was the O.G: Dennis Busenitz.
Back in the fall, when a couple of Adidas heads were in town for the Long Ledge Jam, we had an idea to get a few of them and a few local-based friends to do a casual, multi-person game of S.K.A.T.E. over the Flushing grate flat gap. Here was a spot that you could run single clips over in your part maybe ~25 years ago, but in the ensuing quarter-century, pretty much every single flip trick imaginable had been done. It is probably up to par for some talented skaters to get competitive over. Unfortunately, due to a few logistical issues, it didn’t work out in the fall.
Last month, however, we made it happen. We got eight skaters to Flushing by noon! That was a miracle in and of itself.
Mike Sass uploaded a raw reel from one of 2025’s best New York parts [or anywhere-parts, for that matter]: Neil Herrick 5Ball Re-Rack. Love when you can feel the intentionality in raw file editing v.s. it feeling like a footage dump. Best of all …they just decided to throw in an entire bonus part at the end. Some of that footy is way to good to be sitting at the last two minutes of an eighteen-minute timeline. [16:30 mark.]
Krooked returned to its Gnaughty and Gnar Gnar roots and got the lo-def camera out for “Weirdo 01,” a bro cam excursion to New York featuring the majority of the team (Bobby back at Three Up!), and a mini Andrew Wilson part at the end. Feels like between this and the NBA Youngboy video (lol), remodeled Zeigfeld is having a comeback year.
“Last week there was a feeling of some divine mission having been completed, with Anti-Hero bestowing professional status upon Nick Matthews.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Nick Matthews finally getting the pro nod in its latest.
