Spoiler Alert — The 2026 Bunt Jam Presented By Vans

“Who are you going for?”

Perhaps a silly question to ask at the fourth edition of a three-on-three basketball tournament between skateboarders, but sports are more interesting when there are emotions involved.

In past Bunt Jams, we had a rooting interest. We went for the scrappy upstart Andrew team in 2023, and cheered for their revamped roster to unseat the two-time defending champion Bunt team in 2024, which they did.

But since June 13th, 2026, when the Knicks ended their 53-year title drought, it has been tough to have any emotions tied to sports whatsoever. The weight has been lifted, and we learned that relief is the purest form of bliss. I keep reminding people: the Knicks can miss the playoffs next year, and I will not care. It is absolute nirvana. With that in mind, it was tougher to weave emotions into the 2026 Bunt Jam, so what follows is absolute objectivity ;)

Griffin’s Skate Video is a 34-minute New York video from the same young crew that brought you the “Return of the Genius” edit from the spring, beautifully filmed on a potato. [And/or maybe a Y2K-era digi cam?] It is a blend of the lovingly absurd (e.g. drop-in’s off U-Haul trucks, whatever 1:35 is) and some incredible skating (that 5050 then wallride line at 135th and Riverside!) And if you’re the old-man-yells-at-cloud type (“I don’t get it! Is it …ironic?!”), please do remember that DLX was doing the same exact goddamn thing twenty years ago ;)

Tristan Rowean dropped a new part for Free by Neema Joorabchi. Heavy on the New York clips, and your legs will feel tired just watching the second-to-last Fort Greene trick. Paine Webber no-push ollie was insane, too.

“Efficiency wants to make the world available: controllable, plannable, predictable. Skateboarding works differently. You cannot plan it however you like, force it, or optimize it reliably. Sometimes the trick works, sometimes it does not. Sometimes the world answers – and sometimes it gives you a shinner. That is exactly the point. Skateboarding does not guarantee status, safe progression, or return without risk. But when it answers, it answers personally.” Really enjoyed the new Bubble article by Dr. Veith Kilberth (former pro, sports sociologist, and co-owner of a skatepark planning firm), which unpacks the reasons for a decreased amount of young skaters today.

Jake Todd and the good people at Nocturnal Skateshop put out a new Jackson Deets part full of Philly crust, and cameos from many familiar Philly faces.

The prolifically huck-heavy Stroller crew out of Greece hit New York in their latest edit. Gap front blunt on the bike lane curb on Allen and Canal is a #lowimpact Leap of Faith.

“Who are your top 3 New Jerseyans all time?” “Dude this is so hard. Can I say Tony Soprano?” Abada interviewed Hardbody Ross for Skate Jawn. Spoiler: He didn’t say Tony Soprano.

“OPHELIA” is the latest nine-minute edit from Theories brand. Ryan Alvero is tech as hell in the first part and Conor Noll closes it out. Shout out to his cat.

No Spots In Spotsylvania

Adding Ratscavage’s CURB video to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 CURB is a 27-minute video filmed exclusively at the 12th and Monmouth curbs / D.I.Y. in Jersey City. Heard the spot called Moishe’s ages ago, but haven’t really been tapped in with what’s going on with Jersey City skateboarding in recent times. Calling it Moishe’s on the map because “Oh jeez, I worked for Moishe, I worked for Mayflower…”

Back tail shove sorcery on the ledge between the two banks at ConEd plus more in the new Late Nite Stars throwaway edit — hopefully a hint of a new full-length on the way.

The community board approved the construction of the Brooklyn Skate Garden in Mount Prospect Park, albeit the scaled-down version that is half the size of the original plan.
