Rest in Peace Young Scooter

“The temperature in Central Park plummeted by 26 degrees within a single hour on Saturday afternoon.” Let this be a reminder to strategize when your group text is all horny to skate in t-shirts on the next 80-degree morning. Bros were running into H&M to buy thermals at 5 P.M.

The Bronze boys are back :) First new vid since November 2023! “***POST NUT CLARITY***” has a montage from the squad, a great lil’ Jordan Trahan section, a nollie hardflip that seemingly defies physics, and a full Grady Smith [!] part at the end.

“Talkin’ To Me” is the new edit from Jack Held and his crew. Filming Courthouse from above really does wonders at showing how monstrous of a spot it truly is. Almost didn’t recognize it in the first few seconds of the trick. Manhattan Bridge drop-in was insane too, and shout out to that dude’s speed control at Three Up Three Down.

“MAKING PLANS” is a homie video by the Thumbs NYC crew, which is prolifically good at avoiding the familiar trappings of Manhattan and Brooklyn in favor of a more northern exploration of the city. Great Olu Stanley part to close it out, and going to go ahead and say that Baked Dougie has some of the most fire flip tricks of 2025. Tre flips and nollie flips with personality. We need more of that.

Luca Mayer has a new part by Chris Patti for Skate Jawn. He might be elbow high right now, but those spots are all for the grown. Ender at the NYPL is very sick.

“THANK GOD IT’S NOT 2024 ANYMORE” is a seven-minute, all-New York montage by Shaquille Waite that’s a great time. Kickflip back lip banks rail + front three Broome Street + flip 5-0 / flip nosegrind + more, all fire. All to some 2015ish #skatevideohouse ;)

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Mark Suciu by Cole Giordano via the new issue of Closer Skateboarding, which has that incredible Evan Wasser cover dropping in on that red cube behind Zuccotti. FWIW, Zered said he only went halfway up for his drop-in, before anyone gets all precious about it ;)

Tyshawn was on The Breakfast Club for a half-hour-long interview. It is obviously for a radio station, so you’re getting some radio station ass questions about skateboarding, but he doesn’t do a ton of interviews, so there you go. New THPS game otw just casually thrown in there, too.

“It’s crazy you are doing tricks you’ve never done 30 years later.” Never know when these come out because none of their posts are dated, but No Comply Network has a lllllloooooong interview with Zered Bassett, apparently from a few weeks ago. They cover everything from first getting into skating on Cape Cod, right through life after Alltimers.

Primitive Video by Thomas Albin: one of humanity’s earliest ancestors discovers an anachronistic VX1000, and mankind is immediately advanced hundreds of thousands of years into the future to the partially unknobbed ledge that sits atop a four-stair platform between the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a Whole Foods. Otherwise, a really fun homie video that keeps its sights on the Normal People Spots of this city, e.g. there’s no Courthouse and the biggest set is an eight

Pulling up to the Boston Aquarium ledges [as seen in decades worth of skate videos and The Departed] as an out of towner is a shared experience. Few places have as wide of a disparity between “omg that looks so fun!” when seen on videos, v.s. the “what the actual fuck are these cracks” when you arrive like Aquarium does, so it makes sense that the locals have the best clips there. Jerry Fowler, the Godfather of Six-Figure Ledge Skating™, breaks down the history of Boston’s crackiest ledge spot alongside from a who’s who of the New England skate scene for the latest Jenkins Log.

For the life of me, cannot backtrack to where this screengrab originated from, but it was definitely a non-American skate video from January. Anyone?

Mike Heikkila is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, and presumably the first person to ever get a haircut on Blubba. Good reminder to keep that lotion on you this winter.

The Palace team (+ Lucien Clarke’s mom) gather around the TV to rewatch their seminal all-London video from 2017, Palasonic. Would be dope to see them commentate on the Bronze x Palace Paramount video, which feels a bit “forgotten” within each’s respective videography.

“The idea that I could make a show about skateboarding, but wouldn’t be relegated to ‘skate art’ but be taken seriously as an art show that happens to be about skateboarding, was something I am grateful for.” Esteban Jefferson spoke to Monster Children about his new solo show that is inspired by the Brooklyn Banks. It is on view @ 303 Gallery on W. 21st Street until February 26.
