The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of

Avenue A has been repaved ❤️

Our friends at Dancer have a new 10-minute video out entitled “HPX8000,” which features Hjalte, J-Skrodds, and the new generation out of Copenhagen. Filmed entirely across Denmark, 95% on spots that the skate tourists don’t skate.

“If it fails, let’s fail really bad. Let’s just have fun with it in the meantime.” High Snobiety an a profile on Ayman and Osama about the new Carpet store that they just opened up in Baltimore.

Time For The Real Sports

There comes a time in every skate tank’s life where it ceases to merely get you TO the spot, and it …becomes the spot. The rubicon has been crossed.

Dime x Quartersnacks available now ⬅️

“Chris Joslin never did no shit like this.” Jamal Smith is back in front of the camera, mic’d up at the skatepark …in the snow. Can’t wait for episode two.

Return of the Genius” is a new eight-minute edit by Carlo Campos of the Genius crew. It is a beautiful inferno of absolutely insane manny combos, all filmed in New York. Anyone confused by the madness within should find solace in the ancient proverb: the chaos of the youth’s manual tricks is reflective of the world they have inherited from their elders. (Should’ve been it’s own post, but last week was a hectic backend one at the office 😵‍💫)

Alexis Lacroix having an allotment of ohhhhh yeaaaaahhhh’s in Dime videos is very funny.

We have a small capsule with our friends at Dime dropping this Saturday, March 21.

Our good friend Mike Gigliotti was the latest guest on The Bunt. Some clips from that 2007-era push to make a shop homie Supreme video that he mentions can be found in this old 240p edit by Sam Salganik. [Alternate SoundCloud link.]

And on that note, it makes sense that they pivoted away from the homies lurking around Lafayette Street in 2007, and started paying Tyshawn as they headed into the ”cherry era five years later. Complex has a half-hour video interview with Tyshawn. “Stevie Williams or Nick Trapasso?”

At Benihana’s Asking Where The Rice Went

The city is likely proceeding with building the skatepark in Mount Prospect Park after a long battle (there is one final meeting left on April 9), but at a reduced scale, “from 44,000 square feet to 19,500 square feet” — as revealed at the latest town hall. Looks like a transition-heavy design with some street on the side. Can we start holding hearings about getting a Born Plaza in this city before we’re all dead?

“Columbus Circle?” “No!!!” Feel much better about the future of street skateboarding in this city after watching Luca Mayer’s “$100 Chill” episode: they play S.K.A.T.E. inside subway stations, bumrush spots inside Wall Street offices, and then he spends most of his hundo on buying Bar Pitti for the gang. (QS is anti-Bar Pitti, but for reasons unrelated to Luca’s generous gesture.)

Belated 2016 dive find 🌴 what a time

Nice to meet you, he’s an artist.

Hans Klein gave Skate Jawn the backstory to Khaw Wangkaji’s tre flip into the escalator bank at the World Trade Center, which was #1 on the final Top 10 of last year. So crazy that enough time passes where it’s just regular “you can’t skate here” security to new generations of skaters. Angry dudes holding machine guns used to kick you out for skating around the building before, never mind the inside.
