25 Summers

ICYMI: Bam @ the Banks. Beautiful.

“The actual act of skating may well be regarded these days as a springboard to male modeling, coaching-obligatory Olympic dream chasing, or a ticket to hanging out with the dads skating the curb in front of the skatepark.” Boil the Ocean uses the summer’s premier blockbuster film as a springboard to explore skateboarding’s 2026 ailments. One went unmentioned though: there’s no 2026 Bam. Or Ryan. Or Tony.

The Skate Muzik podcast has a Marc Johnson tribute episode full of the songs that have been used throughout his parts.

“They just seem to think we’re gonna keep hanging out forever, keep going to these parties, and keep going to the skatepark. But no one really realizes there’s gonna be a last day you all show up there.” Anthony Pappalardo The Writer interviewed Genesis C.E.O. Ian Ostrowski. He’s not wrong: it was yesterday that we were all locked down in January ’21 watching Genesis 2.

Nothing more beautiful than seeing today’s brightest minds outsmart the skatestoppers installed by yesterday’s dimmest. “Hold On To Those Gifts” is the latest edit from Neema Joorabchi and his crew (Jasper Stieve, Noah Singleton, Zac Gavin, et al.)

Chase Walker made a five-minute edit of leftover footy from Late Nite Stars’ O video. Def some Zak Anders clips in there that exceed most people’s criteria of “throwaway” though ;)

John Valenti has a new video out entitled Free Time. Includes parts from Dustin Eggeling, Cody Lucas, Taylor Nawrocki, Chris Jata, James Sayres (switch flip back noseblunt?!) + others. Heavy on the New York footy, but tons of Euro travel as well :)

Is there any chance you haven’t seen Tenzin’s nollie bigspin heelflip yet? Top 3 Tompkins trick all-time, no hyperbole. Don’t even know what the other two are, just that this is definitely in there ♥

Skate Like A Girl is hosting a silent auction fundraiser that you should definitely support. Bid on everything from #hype sneakers to gear from local brands, with all proceeds going to a great cause.

Who thought an opener part to that Weeknd song from all the memes could hit this hard? Pete Spooner’s New York / Minneapolis / Los Angeles -based Various Artists video extols the synergy of working for an airline while making skate videos on the side, and is now playing up on Free in full. (They’re big fans of Zach Moore’s recent comedy work as well.) Ender part from Jeremy Murray is fire.
