Skateboarders are fascinated with curation and being “tasteful.” The bag of ten or so tricks, done incredibly well. Not looking like you’re trying too hard. The masterful assembly of an outfit for each clip. The perfect song that flows with each cut. Saying just enough without over-explaining or becoming a recluse.

T-Funk’s financial advice to his future children: “Don’t look up to me.” He thinks Tom Scharr is trying to be Bob Burnquist, but Bob Burnquist says he himself wants to be Tom Scharr. Satan’s Drano siphoned the Hot Ones format through a satanic offshoot of 90s public access TV for their show, The Last Supper, and their first guest is Tristan Funkhouser.
Melodi dropped a quick edit for their Spitfire collab. Mostly New York clips, with a lot of homies. Quinn, Coles, Gabe ‘n them :)

📍 Added Satan’s Drano’s “HESKWON” video, filmed entirely at the Koreantown Banks / federal courthouse in downtown L.A. to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map, and it’s probably the most unhinged entry to date: a onetime two-second bust spot that got overrun by skateboarders promoting a hot sauce company on the weekends with an ender where a skater slappies a curb and a dude flys off a ten-foot drop on a dirt bike over him into the street straight toward the cameraman? That’s Hollywood, baby!
A Tim Achille part opens up William Wishard’s Jersey scene video, Just For Kicks. Includes a shared Andy Bautista and German Nieves section at the end.
“This took 6 four hour sessions, 8 gallons of lacquer, 4 sets of rails, 3 grinder blades, 2 custom longboards, 1 law enforcement evasion tactic and 20+ hours of labor.” — Satan. Kyle Walsh on the boardslide, Alex Papke on the photo for Satan’s Drano.

🚨🍝 We have a Mommy’s Little Meatball tee sighting! 🍝🚨 Germany’s Irregular skate mag made a very fire Summer Trip To New York edit featuring Denny Pham, Daniel Ledermann (doing the best backside flip imaginable, naturally), Nassim Lachhab and more. The whole thing really picks up a few octaves towards the end, too.
The city announced a partnership with The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation) that will renovate objectively two of the worst skateparks in New York (the one inside Brower and this one in The Bronx that some people from The Bronx don’t even know exists), plus build new ones in Soundview and Prospect Park. Waiting on that phase two announcement for the Banks though…
