Second City Hangover

Daily News May 4th, 2026 · 12:00 am

The Do Or Die D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is holding a GoFundMe for their next series of builds. If you don’t know about the space, Jenkem did a video profile of the crew earlier this year.

You gotta wonder what the reply rate would be if you hit your widest-spanning group chat suggesting you skate a …concreted-barrier-turned-spine under a bridge in Pittsburgh that you gotta shovel snow off of — at night. Those are the sorts of lifers found in Wyatt Nicholas’ One Jagged Loaf video out of Pittsburgh, with parts from Jay Pitser, Alex Nivison and Eli Campbell. Love the nollie flips in this one.

JOSE! JOSE! JOSE! JOSE! JOSE!

Golden Hour is a great, 19-minute New York scene video by Perry Scardigno, featuring a ton of “where is that spot?!” clips — assuming you can even think about skate spots right now. (Jk, K Bridge is a go at least.) Also has a sick Ricki Twohill part at the end.

“My dog was the one that originally found my cancer four years ago — she kept trying hit me in the nuts while we were playing and hit me really fucking good.” Ian Browning’s great “Rules of Skateboarding” series has formally moved from Village Psychic to Skate Bylines, and the newest installment is with TJ Rogers about the rules of publicly sharing personal things with fans of your skateboarding.

“I kind of want to skate for a brand because it’s like, ‘Okay, she has good clips!'” Free has an interview with Stella Aiha on the occasion of the new part that she dropped with Eetu Lilja.

Pittsburgh Report — Radio Skateshop’s “Tape Eater” Video

Daily News November 6th, 2025 · 5:36 pm

If you need reassurance that skateboarding would survive the apocalypse, watch any Pittsburgh scene video.

And if you need a glimpse of where the post-apocalyptic skateboard sphere of influence would headquarter itself, watch Tape Eater, the new video from Eric Calfo and the good people at Radio Skateshop.

This is by no means calling Pittsburgh the city apocalyptic — Pittsburgh’s beautiful — we’re just pointing out that the people who excel at skateboarding there really thrive at spots that feel plucked out of a zombie movie. A perfect ledge on good ground probably feels like some bullshit to them.

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?

Pittsburgh spots make ConEd Banks look like MACBA. Mini ramps with tree branches for coping, banks that need ten sheets of plywood to get to, and cracks obfuscated by six-pack holders all in Justin Funk’s “SCORCHER” video, presented by our friends over at Vague.

“A split second after I took that photo both of those cats, like, mauled Aaron. He was trying to hold them together and it just wasn’t working. They scratched him so hard he was bleeding out of his forearm. He was over rounding them up, like, ‘I don’t think it’s gonna happen…'” Skate Bylines interviewed the mind behind Heckride for some B.T.S. stories and inspo talk around his photo book of skaters and their pets. Wishbone and Hashbrown are really good pet names.
