Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” video is a slice of life montage into what it is like to spend hours on end at the refurbished Tompkins Square Park, circa 2024. Could basically be VR. That backflip guy has to go back and get that. #tfreport.

“I don’t make something unless I really like it and think it’s fire and cool and I want to wear it — or I think it’ll sell. Usually the shit that I think is the best and all my friends think is the coolest doesn’t do well. Then the shit that I’m like, ‘Whatever, this is bullshit’ — it sells out.” A tale as old as time. Village Psychic interviewed Myles Underwood, the mind behind Fuck This Industry.

Theories shared Josh Feist’s part from Traffic’s It’s Completely Fine video. Heavy on the Philly clips, lots of insanely crustaceous spots, and those tricks from the black marble rock onto the cement ledge are wild.

Congrats to Mr. Nick Michel for winning the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup 🏆 and to everyone who came out on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to make this an annual event, so see everyone next year :) Full recap vid will go live later this week.

The Rent Is Too Damn High is a KCDC Skateshop video by Abi Teixeira, released in commemoration of the shop closing up its N 3rd Street location after having been a fixture in Williamsburg for two decades — long before the neighborhood was what you know it as today. Features a wide net of KCDC’s riders throughout the years. KCDC is continuing online operations as they look toward the future.

Labor’s Brooklyn location is having a big sale as they consolidate down to just the Manhattan location. Be sure to check their IG for abridged BK store hours before you make the trek though.

Maybe it’s the interview in the middle, but this has big 2000’s video magazine New York montage-vibes (yes, once upon a time, that was a rare thing for #skatemedia): PFP videographer Mike Sassano has a ten-minute New York montage over on the Transworld site with footage from Jeremy Murray, Matt Militano, Niels Bennett and more.

“My first response was that its super chill and that I have a good balance on both, but now that I think about it, the way I and a lot of people in New York operate is not normal.” Heckride’s latest is an interview with young legend and Limosine rider, Enzo Kurmaskie.

They say “skateparks are growing up.” Wasn’t expecting such an in-depth dive into skateboarding’s evolving role in public space design, “skate gardens,” and the Mount Prospect Park skatepark situation from …Bloomberg.

If you’re a fan of one of the other 29 NBA teams, you spend a good portion of your time rooting against the Lakers. In every way: losses, personnel decisions, roster moves. Even if your team is eliminated — or in our case, spent a quarter-century out of contention — you could always root against the Lakers. It is the great unifier for the rest of us.

To some Lakers fans, this is just bitter envy. Classic “we rule, you suck” high school shit. But other Lakers fans find it confusing. Why wouldn’t you root for the Lakers? They’re the Lakers.
