“Type III Fun” is a new, all-NYC video by John Lamair featuring the youngs hucking into rocks, going back for that white marble drop-in at World Trade that everyone gets washed on, and being shocked by their own inward heelflips. Great vibes the whole way through ✨

“I got an 8.25. I got Zeroes in the car!” A watershed moment for Village Psychic’s “Lurking With Lou” series: 14 years (!!!!!!!!) after Lurker Lou allegedly ruined Matt Millitano’s life by focusing his board on Slap’s One In A Million show [according to the internet], they link up to sesh spots outside of New York skateboarding’s oft-treaded zones. Joke’s on the internet, because they were friends the whole time. Also, even as someone who has known Lou for a long time, I completely took for granted that he was 28 in that show. Beards, man.

Kiernan McGinnis has a new part out for Grey Skate Mag that’s largely filmed in Philly. The control on that bank-to-rail kickflip back fifty is too good. And if you missed the nollie backside flip at the Lily Pads [R.I.P.] from last weeks’ top ten, it’s worth a loop or ten.

Were You Guys Just At The Charli XCX Show? No, We Were Watching The Knicks Game At The Dave & Buster’s On Atlantic.

Tony Hawk skating @ the Brooklyn Banks, 2025 📍

The NYCxDesign Festival is hosting is hosting a public presentation and discussion about the upcoming remodeling of Brooklyn Borough Hall. It looks like it’s mainly concerning the parking lot-adjacent zone by the Shake Shack, not the main plaza we all skate, which was renovated in 2017. It is on Thursday, May 15 @ 6 P.M. at 209 Joralemon Street. More info here.

Tech lord Jeremy Murray has a new, mostly New York part out on Free. Fakie shuv fakie manny hardflip out on C-Benches has to be on the shortlist for most insane things done at that spot.

“Excuse Me Ladies, Sorry To Bother You, But We’re Out Here In Dimes Square Trying To Get Opinions On The Latest Tom Schaar Part. Is Vert In Fact, Back?”

VICTOR’S VOYAGE ⛵️

“Vert is back!” — Justin Bieber.

“Nicotine Riser Pads are the only riser pads that funnel nicotine through your board, into your toes, and right into your brain.” Bronze 56k pivoted and created a rock station: Bronze 56k, THE BOLT 🔩 The only station that can turn your three-day hangover into a five-day bender.

“It’s the difference between technical perfection and genuine joy.” The Main profiled Vincent Tsang, one of the original founders behind Dime and its evolution from YouTube hijinx to a revered Québécoise fashion house.

Timescan videographer, Rob Taro, got in front of the lens and filmed a part that connects his two homes of New Jersey and Japan for our friends at Grey.

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the webstore ❤️ Should be caught up on shipping orders soon. Available at skateshops worldwide now.

Everyone who has logged years skating Tompkins has an immediate answer to “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen walking into the Tompkins bathroom?” Let’s see if the $5 million they put into renovating it keeps it from becoming the tenth ring of hell again. Now open!

“Yeah, I think that when you show everything, it allows more people in. There are people I know who don’t skate who have watched this and for them it’s like a hero’s journey or something: You’re watching someone go through something, and you can maybe sympathize with me, or maybe think I’m insane, but you get that I’m trying really hard to do something. You don’t need to understand the context for the tricks to get that.” The menswear SubStack, Blackbird Skyplane, got the elusive Bobby DeKeyzer on the horn for an interview about his new part.

The Quartersnacks webstore is now live with spring goods ✨ Includes a lot of much-requested reissues of classic items (Diner & Lenox tees, Track Club crews, etc.) Also available at local skateshops worldwide. Photo via our friends @ Laquer. Thanks for your continued support in helping us do what we do ❤️

“Salvaging the ruins, slabs of granite were shipped across the ocean, turning rubble into something both relic and resurrected. These materials were then integrated into a new spot, giving rise to a form of skateboarding ‘spolia,’ [which] refers to materials that are salvaged from one structure and reintegrated into another whether for ideological reasons, practical purposes or both.” Skate Bylines has a #longform piece on the increasingly common phenomenon of classic skate spots being resurrected.

Our friends at Duplex down in Florida have a new edit up on the Thrasher site, and they continue to find more and more spots in their backyard. Jace’s opening clip is insane.

Adding Bobby DeKezyer’s “BOBCBC” part, filmed entirely at the CBC building in downtown Toronto (croski!), to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 Shout out to Tomas and Bobby for actually making skateboarding look incredibly difficult, even for someone who is …incredibly good at it. We need that dose of reality from time to time ;)
