Choose The Sword, And You Will Go To The Banks, Choose The Ball, And You Join Your Friends At The Beach

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.

It’s Just Another Cyber Monday

Do you have $99,000 lying around? Want to own a skatepark [a lil’ over an hour from the city]? Peekskill’s 2nd Nature park is for sale. No cybermonday promo code for that though ;)

The promo for the upcoming Late Nite Stars full-length video went live last week. (Yes, a Trung sighting is included.)

Shari White made a new 11-minute edit called “Gleek / Blueberries,” featuring a solid chunk of Dustin Henry footage + appearances from Una, Breana, Nelly, Stafhon, Shealy, Chandler Burton and a mini curtains section from Evan Wasser.

The Good Times of Yesterday, Today — Pangea Jeans & John Shanahan’s ‘ROADRAGE’ Video

The old proverb goes something like, “Yeah, now well, the thing about the old days is… they the old days.”

Yet for all the handwringing that gets done about things changing and spots disappearing, there sure are a lot of remaining markers of the old days for nostalgia exercises. Take for instance “ROADRAGE,” the new edit from John Shanahan’s Pangea Jeans imprint, filmed on the same camera they probably filmed Real’s Non Fiction video on in 1996. In it, you’ll find the Battery Park three-stair that Gino nollie back heeled in The Chocolate Tour (with a Las Nueve Vidas De Paco-looking nollie backside flip floating down it.) The Greenwich Street windowsill ledges where Harold Hunter did the sweaty backside heelflip at! Tricks at the upper portion of Pyramid Ledges! The L.A. Department of Water and Power Building! The past is — at a bare minimum — thriving.

‘Did you see Ty & Josh’s clips from the Depeche Mode concert?’

Still got some loose sizes of holiday QS gear on sale in the webstore ⛵️ Thanks for supporting what we do :)

“I tell Bill all the time, ‘I don’t have that many video parts left in me.'” Farran Golding profiled Tyshawn Jones and Bill Strobeck for GQ.

We were out in Argentina last month, and were lucky enough to get shown around by Eze Martinez (Milton’s brother, yes.) He’s got an incredible section in the new Cons Argentina edit. There’s something extra fun in watching siblings who skate at absolute opposite ends of the skate spectrum excel in their respective corners at this high of a level. (No Milton footy in this video though.)

Five Favorite Parts With Neil Herrick

Photo by Sam McKenna
Interview by Farran Golding

The year started off with this series talking to Tony Hawk, so it felt appropriate to bring it closer to home as we wind it down.

Neil Herrick has the distinction of dropping one of the first great parts this year — filmed locally or otherwise — in Brandon Stepanow’s Open Container video, which is definitely worth running back if February feels like an eternity ago. It had a timeless, gimmick-free feeling of a section that could be dropped into any video from any era of street skating and fit, so we had Farran ask Neil about his inspirations.
