Stuck In Manny Jail

Daily News October 19th, 2026 · 12:00 am

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 🐝)

O.G.O.T.Y.

Let’s get personal: Are you a 2026 Monday Links reader? Thank you. You know what this means. We have celebrated the 2011 Mavs, we celebrated the 2019 Raptors — and we were confident this would never happen. Thank you for being along for the ride. This is special for all of them. Jose’s arc is particularly beautiful. Do you want editorial? Sorry. This is fucking insane. Bye. (You’re a 2026 Monday Links reader. You get it.)

Also, if you are in the “I thought I’d cry if this ever happened, why am I not crying”-crowd… watch the Mike Breen video. Thanks Mike.

Go Skate Day will be at the Brooklyn Banks this Sunday, June 21st from 1-5 P.M. 🧱

Wheeler Antabanez and Fred Gall’s three-part feature on finding and skating a bank of the roof of an abandoned theater in downtown Newark, New Jersey is incredible. It has everything from urban archeology (the theater closed in 1968 and has largely sat untouched besides by graffiti writers since), to skateboarding to a dash of the paranormal. Absolutely loved every second of it and pined for a time when internet content wasn’t all optimized for shortform social media.

Following Filming, the video essay YouTube channel that brought you the dive into the history of the Element flatbar, has a new one that tracks down 75 skate tricks named after the people who invented them. Yes, he acknowledges a lot of them are obsolete, but an incredibly fun and well-researched piece.

Y’all Won

Monday Links on a Tuesday on account of the holiday…

Quartersnacks makes a Knicks hat, and then the Knicks make the Finals for the first time in 27 years. Coincidence? Definitely not.

“If you’re painting in fear, that’s a bad state.” Antonio Durao is a painter.

Jermaine Whittaker has a new part with his 5301 CLT crew down in Charlotte, made in tribute to their friend, Nate Stout. Some New York dispersed between Carolina crust.

Two new ones from the next gens out of Europe: “BUG OUTTA HERE” by Moritz Ueberall and the BUG crew out of Hamburg + “Rustiq” by Stellavision, a young crew out of Paris. There’s some Trung guest clips in there too ;)

Kilian Zehnder’s “4M” part has a good batch of New York footy at the start. Switch flip back noseblunt is a demonic thing to try at Lenox.
