Yesterday’s Legs Are Not Today’s Legs

This. Is. Cinema 🎬

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.

Winter X-Games? We Have Winter X-Games At Home.

Max Hull’s Hell Yeahh (Too Nice To Skate) is a masterpiece of unc skateboard cinema. It includes Gabe Tennen[‘s Wonderful Horrible Life], Conor Prunty’s salute to ten years since “422,” a Joe Scordo “My War,” Sadie BGPs, a full Luke Koch part, and so much more. If you are in your unc years or even on the cusp of unc-ness and in the midst of finding excuses to not skate on a weekend or just hit the skatepark for an hour, seeing Gabe shred should be inspo enough to commit to relearning some of your lost tricks this spring.

A reminder that Tricolor Patinetas’ 1999 video out of Mexico is essential viewing. Find your friend with the biggest screen you know, invite some friends over, bring some drinks and watch it together this week.

Stellar Regions

This deserved its own post but dropped on a travel day: 10/10 style-out on that opening switch ollie, they got …graced with enough time at the Grace building 🥁 to get a line, and OMG @ that inward heel in “Double E,” a new Orchard Skateshop edit starring Eddie Vargas and Eamon Durkan, filmed by Ted Purtell. Mostly Mass spots, but they make it down to New York a few times. (That impossible in the West Village, too!)

Xavier Holte skates through the rock salt in a cruisey, all-NYC part for OJ Wheels.

Jenkem has a great feature on the next generation of skate videographers from around the world, including the New York-based Alim Orahovac.

Our dear friend Torey Goodall talks small-town Canadian beginnings, watching Palace evolve from the “Tres Trill” days to their new community center in London, and the consciousness shift against “cool guy” vibes in skateboarding, fashion and beyond on the Nowhere Fast podcast.

Alexey Krasniy does a bunch of wild shit in New York — from Blubba to random rocks on the street to a nose manny at Police Plaza that’s a shoo-in for Top 10 this week — in his closing part in the Piss Drunx video. (Yes, it’s a brand now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Is that the first time somebody did the Wade Fyfe slam hubba in Barcelona?
