Dubbed by Boil the Ocean as “the patron saint of clipping up,” this man from Tim Savage and co’s Free Game video has our vote ❤️

Readers Poll voting opens later today… 🗳

Max Hull put together a great recap of the Light Rail Riot / Friendsgiving Jam at the Hole Bowl in Newark. Kinda figure these guys are going to be doing these every year. (For those who don’t know, the Hole Bowl is the successor to the belated Newark Shorty’s D.I.Y.)

SOAP OPERA is a new Rochester scene video from Michael Breitmaier (you may recall his Memoir video from 2023), featuring parts from Adam Kerrick, Justin Grzechowiak, David Kimball and more. Lots of beautiful VX upstate crust, some downstate trips, and Euro excursions. Something about that Berlin manny pad spot feels like it’d fit in upstate New York.

Vague has a premiere of Neil Herrick’s part in Tristan Mershon’s new video, Singer Tower. Loved the Police Plaza choreography and the unlocking of the out ledge at Brick Nine.

Tony Hawk skating @ the Brooklyn Banks, 2025 📍

The NYCxDesign Festival is hosting is hosting a public presentation and discussion about the upcoming remodeling of Brooklyn Borough Hall. It looks like it’s mainly concerning the parking lot-adjacent zone by the Shake Shack, not the main plaza we all skate, which was renovated in 2017. It is on Thursday, May 15 @ 6 P.M. at 209 Joralemon Street. More info here.

Tech lord Jeremy Murray has a new, mostly New York part out on Free. Fakie shuv fakie manny hardflip out on C-Benches has to be on the shortlist for most insane things done at that spot.

Another Beautiful Day Spent Hanging Out Under The Brickell Bridge

No chance you haven’t seen 5Boro’s 5Ball video by Mike Sass yet, right? Parts from Jimmy McDonald, Andrew Singh, Justin Fabus, Keith Hardy, Chris Anderson and Neil Herrick. Next time you’re around Grand Central, take a close look at the spot from the ender.

Stephan Singh has a new, all-NYC homie edit. Park Avenue noseslide shove was fire.

Emile, Jamie Platt, David Stenstrom, Dylan Mills & Kiki Kakitani went on a Polar trip to Austin and Salt Lake City. SLC really has to be a team manager’s dream.

‘I Don’t Even Know How To F**cking Airwalk’ [But I Can Fakie Bigflip At Burnside] — The New Polar Video Is Live

Daily News November 22nd, 2024 · 1:30 pm · 7

Was waiting to see how the title of the latest Polar project would manifest inside the video’s outtakes — you know, the whole “welcome to Jurassic Park“-thing — and it turns out that he indeed doesn’t know how to fucking airwalk. At least not yet.

But Emile does know how to do a lot of things. It was funny hearing reports from people who were able to make the New York premiere talk about Emile’s part in terms of what some of the spots in it weren’t: “the brick double-set he ollies in Portland isn’t even a spot,” “the transfer he does at Burnside isn’t even an actual possible transfer,” etc.

Congestion Pricing But For Blue Park

When we interviewed Reda about the shot of Todd Jordan’s switch back tail in the weeks after 9/11, he mentioned wanting to complete the set of having the same shot of the Towers, no Towers, and the Freedom Tower. Pretty sure Mike Heikilla is the first one to snap a photo on this forgotten (?) Hoboken, New Jersey spot since the new tower was completed over ten years ago. Discussion of the Todd shot + the mission to get this one is featured in the Dick Rizzo “Headspace” video that Huf dropped last week.

Booyaka is a video by Patrick Lang showcasing the scene in Syracuse, New York, and includes the last-ever part from the late Andrew Grabowski ♥️

Scuba divers discovered 25 bricks of cocaine in the Florida Keys this week stamped with the Nike SB logo.
