Tired In Manhattan

Neema Joorabchi’s new video, “if u kno,” has parts from Isaac White and Jasper Stieve, who might’ve turned in one of the most impressive collections of tricks on two wheels done within New York City limits. Hurricane to manny Fort Greene! The Dill Family Court ender …switch! And more! (Still feel guilty about not giving this one its proper due on the front page on account of some timezone juggling, but Jasper’s probably working on another part already, right?)

“Hey man, do you think maybe we could just go to a dead-end street where no one will bother us, and just skate a ledge? We could film, but we could also just chill.”

“Business²” is an eleven-minute edit from Hefty Krew. All New York clips, with some fire Brandon Johnson footage at the end.

Destiny’s Child Traded Beyoncé To TLC For Chili

Primitive Video by Thomas Albin: one of humanity’s earliest ancestors discovers an anachronistic VX1000, and mankind is immediately advanced hundreds of thousands of years into the future to the partially unknobbed ledge that sits atop a four-stair platform between the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a Whole Foods. Otherwise, a really fun homie video that keeps its sights on the Normal People Spots of this city, e.g. there’s no Courthouse and the biggest set is an eight 💪

Pulling up to the Boston Aquarium ledges [as seen in decades worth of skate videos and The Departed] as an out of towner is a shared experience. Few places have as wide of a disparity between “omg that looks so fun!” when seen on videos, v.s. the “what the actual fuck are these cracks” when you arrive like Aquarium does, so it makes sense that the locals have the best clips there. Jerry Fowler, the Godfather of Six-Figure Ledge Skating™, breaks down the history of Boston’s crackiest ledge spot alongside from a who’s who of the New England skate scene for the latest Jenkins Log.

You The World

For the life of me, cannot backtrack to where this screengrab originated from, but it was definitely a non-American skate video from January. Anyone?

Mike Heikkila is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, and presumably the first person to ever get a haircut on Blubba. Good reminder to keep that lotion on you this winter.

The Palace team (+ Lucien Clarke’s mom) gather around the TV to rewatch their seminal all-London video from 2017, Palasonic. Would be dope to see them commentate on the Bronze x Palace Paramount video, which feels a bit “forgotten” within each’s respective videography.

“The idea that I could make a show about skateboarding, but wouldn’t be relegated to ‘skate art’ but be taken seriously as an art show that happens to be about skateboarding, was something I am grateful for.” Esteban Jefferson spoke to Monster Children about his new solo show that is inspired by the Brooklyn Banks. It is on view @ 303 Gallery on W. 21st Street until February 26.

Still Here

You realize all that skate blogging was worth it when you see a 2025 teenager skating Reggaeton Ledges to peak Young Jeezy. “A Third Perspective” is a sick 15-minute, all-NYC homie video from Alim Orahovac and the youngs. [Being in a homie video where one of your friends varial flips and another tre flips the Flushing grate is a mandatory rite of passage in life.]

“The video is called ‘Still in Atlanta’ because of fools who moved to New York or L.A. and were on me about staying here, saying shit like ‘Atlanta is dead.'” Jenkem spoke to Atlanta skate scene ambassador, Justin Hearn, about the ATL scene and his new video.

More Sidlauskian spot nostalgia is what we need :)
