Golden Hour is a great, 19-minute New York scene video by Perry Scardigno, featuring a ton of “where is that spot?!” clips — assuming you can even think about skate spots right now. (Jk, K Bridge is a go at least.) Also has a sick Ricki Twohill part at the end.

“My dog was the one that originally found my cancer four years ago — she kept trying hit me in the nuts while we were playing and hit me really fucking good.” Ian Browning’s great “Rules of Skateboarding” series has formally moved from Village Psychic to Skate Bylines, and the newest installment is with TJ Rogers about the rules of publicly sharing personal things with fans of your skateboarding.

“I kind of want to skate for a brand because it’s like, ‘Okay, she has good clips!'” Free has an interview with Stella Aiha on the occasion of the new part that she dropped with Eetu Lilja.

Max Hull’s Hell Yeahh (Too Nice To Skate) is a masterpiece of unc skateboard cinema. It includes Gabe Tennen[‘s Wonderful Horrible Life], Conor Prunty’s salute to ten years since “422,” a Joe Scordo “My War,” Sadie BGPs, a full Luke Koch part, and so much more. If you are in your unc years or even on the cusp of unc-ness and in the midst of finding excuses to not skate on a weekend or just hit the skatepark for an hour, seeing Gabe shred should be inspo enough to commit to relearning some of your lost tricks this spring.

A reminder that Tricolor Patinetas’ 1999 video out of Mexico is essential viewing. Find your friend with the biggest screen you know, invite some friends over, bring some drinks and watch it together this week.

Our dear friend Torey Goodall talks small-town Canadian beginnings, watching Palace evolve from the “Tres Trill” days to their new community center in London, and the consciousness shift against “cool guy” vibes in skateboarding, fashion and beyond on the Nowhere Fast podcast.

Alexey Krasniy does a bunch of wild shit in New York — from Blubba to random rocks on the street to a nose manny at Police Plaza that’s a shoo-in for Top 10 this week — in his closing part in the Piss Drunx video. (Yes, it’s a brand now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Is that the first time somebody did the Wade Fyfe slam hubba in Barcelona?

Tristan Mershon uploaded Singer Tower in its 46-minute entirety. Nate Grzechowiak has a banger of an opening part that hadn’t been shared as a single anywhere. Some of those spots must’ve been around for less than 24 hours. Pays to stay on foot.

Simple Magic rounded up the best skateboard writing of 2025, with Mike’s “What’s The Matter With Skateboarding?” shop survey piece and Jacques’ “Skateboarding & The Silver Screen” piece making the list. (Also thanks for the nod on the Tim Duncan pants piece + the waxing ledges one. Those were fun to do.)

Dubbed by Boil the Ocean as “the patron saint of clipping up,” this man from Tim Savage and co’s Free Game video has our vote ❤️

Readers Poll voting opens later today… 🗳

Max Hull put together a great recap of the Light Rail Riot / Friendsgiving Jam at the Hole Bowl in Newark. Kinda figure these guys are going to be doing these every year. (For those who don’t know, the Hole Bowl is the successor to the belated Newark Shorty’s D.I.Y.)

SOAP OPERA is a new Rochester scene video from Michael Breitmaier (you may recall his Memoir video from 2023), featuring parts from Adam Kerrick, Justin Grzechowiak, David Kimball and more. Lots of beautiful VX upstate crust, some downstate trips, and Euro excursions. Something about that Berlin manny pad spot feels like it’d fit in upstate New York.

Vague has a premiere of Neil Herrick’s part in Tristan Mershon’s new video, Singer Tower. Loved the Police Plaza choreography and the unlocking of the out ledge at Brick Nine.
