Mike Sassano and his crew have been making videos under the PFP (“Picture Fucking Perfect”) umbrella for fifteen years. Originally based in Westchester, and expanding their imprint into the city itself, PFP6 is their first video since 2018.

Paul Hintz’s part from the Westchester-based PFP3 video. Are pajamas the final frontier of pant decisions in skateboarding? Is there anything left?
A small blow to the upper tier of many broke skateboarders’ lifestyle: Chipotle will begin raising prices 3-5% this week. Not as big of a deal as when dollar menus became “value menus,” but still an unpleasant development for the underemployed.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: Despite an awful shooting slump in Game 1, this is somehow the shot that Jamal Crawford hits.
