Have you been waiting your entire life for P. Tricky to open up a video?

Something — the universe, fate, astrology — is saying today may be your lucky day. Maybe!

Naquan Rollings took the “Roadkill” series over to his YouTube channel for the latest installment. (The first three are over on Thrasher.) It features part’s worth of footage from Chucky Lane, Pero Simic, Jiro Platt and Christian Henry, and frequent appearances from Nikolai Piombo, Carl Aikens, Ish Cepeda, Mark Suicu, and many more. It is a half New York / half Paris project — actually, maybe it leans a lil’ heavier on the hometown clips.

We love all civic-minded skate media: Bubble has a 33-minute documentary about the legacy of Sants Plaza in Barcelona, which was demolished a year ago.

Coda dropped a new all-NYC edit over on Skate Jawn. Shanahan rolled in on it to start a line (see #21), but that’s the first time someone treated those amphitheaters at the Citi Field benches as a bank, right? Crazy.

“I just don’t even know no more. For me, if it doesn’t feel like the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, it doesn’t feel like I got a clip.” Really enjoyed Naquan’s 10-minute raw reel of Nikolai clips from his Venture part. Lol’d @ him being shocked at the board having the audacity to go into the water on that nosegrind. Occupational hazard for a Floridian skater, though.

Way back when, we were reporting on a new skatepark across the Atlantic opening and someone left a now-immortal comment.

“I’ve always wondered what skatepark builders have against STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGES. I live in CO and there’s a skatepark in every town with A 20 foot cradle but not a STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGE at any of em. What are the kids gonna do with a 20 FOOT CRADLE?!?! Just build us a STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGE and be done with it!”

In the twelve years since, anytime we have reported on a built-for-skateboarding structure, we simply had to commentate on whether or not the park, plaza, et al. included a …Straight Fucking Ledge™.

Today, more New York City skateparks have Straight Fucking Ledges™, though probably not in the abundance that a Straight Fucking Ledge™-enthusiast would want.

Five Favorite Parts With Nikolai Piombo

On the heels of Nikolai’s Venture part from last month, we figured it’d be a good time to hit him to log one of these. We have finally arrived at the tipping point generationally to where the Sour team begins to get credit for the prolific influence they’ve had over the last now-almost-ten years of skate videos. Antwuan Dixon might also be gaining on Jake in Mind Field‘s marketshare as the most name-checked part of the series as well…

Got told a dope story by someone during game six about how their friend got his eight-year-old, basketball-obsessed son a Josh Hart jersey, and told him a dictum along the lines of, “If you’re ever going to make it into the NBA, your best chance is learning to play like this guy.” 💙 🧡

Gabbers is Sporty & Rich in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, which probably has the highest volume of beer purchases from any installment? 🍺

“REMOTE VIEWING” is the latest edit from Theories of Atlantis featuring a wide survey of midwestern crust. Includes appearances from QS favorites Nick Rainey, Connor Noll, Nyle Lovett + more.

Carl Aikens took a bunch of his bros on a trip to Milan and came back with this five-minute edit by Jeff Cecere and Ritt Pontepsiripong. Marcello’s flip 5-0 on that Centrale rail was too good.
