The prolifically huck-heavy Stroller crew out of Greece hit New York in their latest edit. Gap front blunt on the bike lane curb on Allen and Canal is a #lowimpact Leap of Faith.

“Who are your top 3 New Jerseyans all time?” “Dude this is so hard. Can I say Tony Soprano?” Abada interviewed Hardbody Ross for Skate Jawn. Spoiler: He didn’t say Tony Soprano.

“OPHELIA” is the latest nine-minute edit from Theories brand. Ryan Alvero is tech as hell in the first part and Conor Noll closes it out. Shout out to his cat.

Sir, This Is A Quartersnacks

Yep, change it to the Brunson River, fuck it. Henry had his run. He’s got a parkway.

Theories uploaded 13 minutes of raw files from all the filming trips down to New Orleans to make the Static 6 video. Lots of Jordan footy obvs.

“A skate shop doesn’t last for a quarter-century without genuine care for its community. And the thing about caring is that it doesn’t stop, and it takes serious effort. Putting in the work is Antisocial’s legacy.” Cole Nowicki profiled Antisocial Skateshop founder and the ~~unofficial~~ mayor of Vancouver skateboarding, Michelle Pezel, for Montecristo.

O.G.O.T.Y.

Let’s get personal: Are you a 2026 Monday Links reader? Thank you. You know what this means. We have celebrated the 2011 Mavs, we celebrated the 2019 Raptors — and we were confident this would never happen. Thank you for being along for the ride. This is special for all of them. Jose’s arc is particularly beautiful. Do you want editorial? Sorry. This is fucking insane. Bye. (You’re a 2026 Monday Links reader. You get it.)

Also, if you are in the “I thought I’d cry if this ever happened, why am I not crying”-crowd… watch the Mike Breen video. Thanks Mike.

Go Skate Day will be at the Brooklyn Banks this Sunday, June 21st from 1-5 P.M. 🧱

Wheeler Antabanez and Fred Gall’s three-part feature on finding and skating a bank of the roof of an abandoned theater in downtown Newark, New Jersey is incredible. It has everything from urban archeology (the theater closed in 1968 and has largely sat untouched besides by graffiti writers since), to skateboarding to a dash of the paranormal. Absolutely loved every second of it and pined for a time when internet content wasn’t all optimized for shortform social media.

Following Filming, the video essay YouTube channel that brought you the dive into the history of the Element flatbar, has a new one that tracks down 75 skate tricks named after the people who invented them. Yes, he acknowledges a lot of them are obsolete, but an incredibly fun and well-researched piece.

The Eifuku crew out of Japan dropped a New York trip edit, which has the #2 clip from last week’s Top 10 — but a lot of other gems too. That noseslide to boardslide on the barrier at Columbus Circle was wild. Also love it when visitors night skate; they even re-unlocked Times Square half-a-decade past it being a go.

Lots of spots inside empty malls and a fire bit of Hardbody Ross footy at the end in Matty Hilzenrath’s new NJ-scene edit, “Five On Pump Two.” Ross gotta go back for that hardflip. (Also shout out to his frontside flip tweak on the XL Tompkins bump-to-bar.)
