Sports Are Fleeting, Hell Rides Are Eternal

Jake Keenan was the victim of a horrific act of violence on July 4th, and was hospitalized for the injuries he sustained as a result. If you have the means, please donate to Jake’s family’s GoFundMe to assist with medical costs. Anything helps ❤️

We are hosting a wallride jam with Adidas at Blue Park tomorrow, Tuesday, July 21 @ 5 P.M. until sundown. Cash for tricks 💰 A handful of Adi riders. Same vibe as the long ledge jam, but yaknow …on a wall. Inspired by the long-knobbed Graham & Grand spot a few blocks away.

That’s Not A Website, Quartersnacks Is A Website

The Eifuku crew out of Japan dropped a New York trip edit, which has the #2 clip from last week’s Top 10 — but a lot of other gems too. That noseslide to boardslide on the barrier at Columbus Circle was wild. Also love it when visitors night skate; they even re-unlocked Times Square half-a-decade past it being a go.

Lots of spots inside empty malls and a fire bit of Hardbody Ross footy at the end in Matty Hilzenrath’s new NJ-scene edit, “Five On Pump Two.” Ross gotta go back for that hardflip. (Also shout out to his frontside flip tweak on the XL Tompkins bump-to-bar.)

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.

One Fish, One Clip, C’mon

We built a longass box and are throwing a cash for tricks jam at Tompkins this Saturday, October 18 at 3 P.M. 📅 First person to one-foot crook the entire thing gets a hundred bucks.

Follow Filming, a new YouTube channel that does skate-related video essays, compiled a fifteen-minute dive into the history of something everybody reading this has skated at one point: “The Story of the Element Flatbar.” Farran said “It’s like 99% Invisible for kids who grew up skating in their driveway.”

New fifteen-minute video out of Pittsburgh, forever one of the most unique skate scenes in the country: “THIS PLACE SUCKS” is a new one by Gavin McGinty. Unique spots, thoughtfully put-together, and why do Pittsburgh videos always feel like they skate completely different shit than the last big Pittsburgh video you saw?
