Nachos For Dinner

Daily News November 9th, 2026 · 12:00 am

The Banks wallride rodeo flip (still a [?] btw) from last week’s countdown originated from a great New York x New Jersey edit by SK8FILES, entitled “Do A Flip” — lots of footy from Peaches, Fidel does an absolutely fucked Chauncey trick in addition to the wallride + the nose manny into the steps kickflip at Borough Hall was fire.

Truly hope that Nick Kirch’s new Free part gets some year-end superlative consideration because between the skating itself, the spot selection, and the element of surprise within, it is one of the best parts of 2026. That Police Plaza line is up there with ~~Jamie Thomas~~ Nate Rojas at the Banks and Antonio at Times Square as one of the best lines ever done in this city. Also love how it’s the only clip he bothered getting in New York.

“This city is fuckin’ hip-hop.” Our friend Carolina Gamboa is the latest spender in Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series.

Eye of Providence is a new, 47-minute video by Yan Atron featuring a generational cross-section of parts from one of the best skate scenes on the east coast, and one that remains perpetually underrated. Lots of incredible skating, lots of spot inspo, and infinite reasons to take the 3.5 hour drive to Providence for a long weekend before it gets too brick.

Julian Flores’ new video, BLOOM, premieres at Village East this Thursday, November 5 @ 8:15 P.M. Includes parts from Soo Saxton, Caleb Yuan, Marcello Campanello, Evan Borja, Joey Strazza and Albert Williams. Wooooooo. Flyer here, teaser here.

You Can Skate Everything

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the Hopps collab. We still have a decent selection of sizes left. Appreciate the support as always ❤️

Skate Jawn has Neil Herrick’s part from Attention Span by Dana Ross, which also includes a good dose of Matt Militano tricks.

Our friends at Nocturnal down in Philly dropped an edit for their Nike SB AF1, and it includes a mini part’s worth of Mark Del Negro footage. Anyone debating about whether nu-Muni footage is valid in a vid can rest easy in knowing it’s perfectly fine for a skateshop shoe colorway edit ;) Remains to be seen how it fits in your S.O.T.Y part ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Stuck In Manny Jail

SHIT’LL BUFF is a fire new homie video by Andrew Bawtinhimer. 80% New York spots, 20% …Georgia / Florida? (Could be off.) Lost of crust, lots of bangers. Josh Baker has an absolutely incredible ender section. The closing noseblunt, the ConEd trick, and the fact they managed to go through all that trouble to unlock a new route at Chinatown Manny, only to have the camera pan and you realize after all that, he’s still landing in cobblestones? Brilliant.

Young legend Eddie Vargas Jr. spoke to Skate Jawn about his switch ollie over the Copley Square Library Gap in Boston.

History’s three most important skaters.

The goat was on The Bunt last week 🐐 (The goat is Zered.)

Screamed at the screen on the Terminator ollie attempt. (27th + 1st for those whom “Terminator” might not mean anything.) Australia’s Hoddle Skateboards ripped through Toronto, Montreal and New York to bring home an exceptionally fun trip edit by Majick Templeton. Shaun Paul does the Mariano Mouse credits trick, the boys skate a ton of diamond-plate in New York rather than the obvious stuff, and is that the first Times Square trick since the pandemic footy deluge from there?

Skate Jawn interviewed our dog and future beekeeper, Brian Scherer. (Loosely-related reminder for everyone to read the 2018 New Yorker article about the guy in Red Hook who manufactured Maraschino cherries and what happened after the local honey turned red 🐝)
