Manolo’s “20 Years of Chocolate” remix will bring a tear to your eye.
Still one of the craziest things ever done on a skateboard. Dude was too futuristic.
“Tyshawn Jones is really getting some air! Now I hope that he and others of his ilk are billed for the damage they cause to the steps and walls of monuments and public areas around the city.” TJ got a photo in the Times this past weekend. Some commenters were upset. We should ban everything except walking. That’d be cool.
SMLTalk has been doing some hard-hitting investigative journalism as of late. First, they use Kevin Bradley’s bump-to-bar grab from “cherry” as a springboard to assess the history of acceptable grabs on street, and though it went online a few weeks ago, this piece on the demise of the pop shove-it is also worth your consideration.
Boil the Ocean on Stativ IV and the future of full-length videos.
Some Bronze B-sides. ICYMI: Jenkem interviewed Peter about dark corners of the internet last week. (Here’s another interview with him and Pat from last fall.)
Quick Acapulco Gold clip with a 2013 Q.S.O.T.Y. Leo Gutman sighting.
This “Steep Banks” account on YouTube started uploading a lot of Long Island-based gems from the nineties: Frank Gerwer in midtown circa 1997 and R.I.P. Burritoville and Broadway Bump, two of the greatest lil’ kid spots in New York skateboarding history.
Well, a summer montage to “We Dem Boyz” was pretty inevitable.
A look at the current breed of skate videos coming out of Philadelphia.
Wasn’t expecting to link a video of a guy on Jart today, but some of the stuff in this Fran Molina part is undeniably insane. He destroys MACBA without even hitting the ledges much, and skates sorta like a Euro Torey Pudwill. (Who, by the way, was recently discovered to be maybe the third Jewish pro skateboarder ever. Time to amend this post.)
Uhh…Young Thug was on The Tonight Show.

Sorry for the slow start to the week. Cool stuff soon?
