The temperatures outside are dropping, so threw some shorts on sale in the webstore for the crib or your Miami trip or whatever 🛍

📍 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.

Adjacency Bias, the Pacific-Northwest skate scene platform, has a new video series examining the opportunities / history created by un-used tennis courts that later become skate spots, called “The Courts.” The first episode is about Portland, Oregon’s court spot.

Nelly Morville made an iPhone edit of a Limo trip to Montreal + more. Fingers crossed Nelly’s YouTube page takes the [dormant] torch from Foghornleghorn for iPhone edits from this crew.

“Antonio Durao’s most recent challenge to skating’s understood limitations suggests a new frontier for the wallride grind, though probably one that requires a certain amount of extradimensional thinking.” Boil the Ocean pontificates on a Ben Colen photo of Antonio where he is smith grinding but also …wallriding 🧠

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.

Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)

The Beacon crew has an eight-minute snapshot of the Summer at Tompkins 2k24.

Juan Reyna and his crew have a new 20-minute video out called SMOOCH, which is entirely filmed in New York. Always impressed that the E. 9th Street triangle continued to live on as a functional spot despite the reconstruction that made it fifty times worse.

Jerry Fowler — a late 90s/early 2000s pro who was ahead of the curve on multiple waves of ledge skating — filmed a selfie part for Orchard, his hometown shop in Boston.

Slam City Skates interviewed Will Miles about the making of QuickStrike.

“Running a business is hard work. Running a business that feels personally and creatively fulfilling is even harder. Kudos to them for not riding Alltimers into the ground, a soulless, empty thing, because that’s easy. And hey, 11 years is nothing to sneeze at. A good run is one where the people in charge know when to stop. If you run forever, you lose the chance to look back and appreciate where you’ve been and why you were running in the first place.” Simple Magic on Alltimers shutting up shop after an eleven-year run 🍸 (All of the boards are sold out, but there are some soft goods left over on the Alltimers going out of business sale if you wanted to grab a keepsake.)

“I’ve had a few ABDs in video parts that I battled and had no idea. One of them was Mark Suciu so I was like fuck it, I’ll use it.” Jenkem spoke to Matt Militano about his journey through sponsorships, the Foundation van, ABDs, and prank shows.
