“Was Waiting For That One” — Violet’s “SQUEAKY” Video

Daily News June 16th, 2026 · 3:26 pm · 2

Violet‘s long-awaited, years-in-the-making “SQUEAKY” video is live. Well, it went live on Sunday morning, and usually we try to post one of the year’s marquee releases way before it has …74,000 views, but some stuff happened in Texas on Saturday night, so the proceeding two days were not the most productive stints at the office.

At the premiere, we sat a few rows in front of Joey Marrone and a bunch of Philly heads, and any time Mike Ward or Kris Brown would pop on the screen — whether it was an actual trick, BGPs, their name — they would scream, “Mike Ward! I love that guy! Kris Brown! I love that guy!” It was funny right away, and then there was a moment of “wait are they dragging this,” and shortly thereafter, it got even funnier into becoming a full laugh out loud bit that continued up until their names appeared in the credits. I can’t read Mike or Kris’ name without visualizing them ending with an exclamation point anymore :) Just a really great premiere memory, and why IRL stuff like packing out a theater is so important.

‘THE BUTTERFLY’ — The Latest Video From Violet

Daily News January 17th, 2023 · 3:25 pm · 3

Bill Strobeck’s Violet imprint just dropped their first longish-form video since the inaugural Violet promo from last spring. “THE BUTTERFLY” is an Efron Danzig part (real name, for those who don’t know) intro’d by a montage from the rest of the team: Troy Gipson, Kyle Teh, Seven Strong, Auguste Bouznad, Patrick O’Mara and Kris Brown.

Yelled at the screen in shock when that Rodney Mullen-esque ender came out of nowhere — a Muni crowd pleaser very much in the mold of the kickflip front 5-0 line from Harry Bergenfield’s Down Bad video that made Efron a fan-favorite. Have a look at the bench-to-planter combo that Patrick O’Mara 5050’s into the street next time you’re cruising down Park Avenue, too.

“Ok, We’re Leaving” is a sick Chicago scene edit by Harald Reynolds that casts a wide net beyond the expected batch of Chase footage, and has a lot of sick clips from Vince Guzaldo, winner of top honors in Boil the Ocean’s “Best of 2022” accolades. Those cut-out ledge tricks at the end are wild.

“I will never take the $17 Panda Bus again.” Heckride interviewed Salomon Cardenas.

Ayoub Tabri dropped a sick new D.C. edit for Skate Jawn featuring Rahzel, Kevin Augustine, and other Pulaski locals.

Jenkem got 2023 predictions and more from a bunch of familiar faces in their latest “Shop Talk” installment from the F.A. store with Father Bop, Efron, and more.

Supreme’s ‘Play Dead’ Video Is Now Live

Writing in 2019, when “cherry” snagged the top spot in QS Readers Poll results for best videos of the 2010s (voting for this year’s opens soon!), Boil the Ocean remarked “that it is easy to forget the gamble that “cherry” represented roughly one eternity ago.” The gamble clearly worked, and “BLESSED” felt like a result of the creative blank check a film studio gives out when someone’s first feature breaks expectations.

This is the last week it gets dark before 7 P.M. 🤞

Shadow is a full-length Long Island scene video (though obviously much of it is filmed in the city) by David Rind. Last two parts are fire, though you may have caught the link for Max Rowlette’s section last week when Skate Jawn ran it.)

Not sure there has been a Johnny Wilson trip edit since that “Roadtrip” one way way back. Tom Knox, Nik Stain, Eric Koston, Louie Lopez, et al. in Texas with Miles Griptape, ICYMI. Love that this roster could come together for something as arbitrary as a griptape team trip, and have it feel like an actual homie edit ❤️

“If, when I was 15, somebody told me to stab someone and they’d give me this, I would’ve done it.” Greg Navarro — creator of The Upper West Side Curb Club — hung around …the Upper West Side with Eli Gesner to get a breakdown of the neighborhood’s landmark spots for a new Jenkem video series called “Neighborhoods.”
