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.

We have some Cyber Monday deals in the webstore 🛍 Tees, hats, hoodys, etc. for up to half off. Thanks for the support throughout the past year ❤️

Naquan Rollings dropped an edit of Chucky Lane skating the Supreme Brooklyn bowl.

Shaquille Waite filmed his two homies from Japan ripping around downtown. Lines down the Chase stairs never go out of style. Half cab flip was divine.

Stafhon, Hugo, David, Diego and a bunch of other tens in Basque Country via the new Stussy edit by Jesse Alba.

Ty Beall via Skate Jawn #68 and his part in Chrome Zone (2023), on account of New York moving towards discontinuing the green shed scaffolding, in favor of a less-ugly alternative. Can’t think of a ton of tricks on these things short of this and Jerry’s 5050 in Bag of Suck, but good riddance.

“I’m mainly happy that Tompkins is still there, it’s repaved, kids still go there, and it still has a similar vibe.” Slam City Skates has a pretty awesome longform interview with Sage Elsesser.

“Holllllyyyy shitttttt. Is that Jahmir? Yeah! And he’s making me listen to Bronze 56k Radio ALL DAY.” Jahmir Brown provides the guest mix on the latest installment of Bronze 56k Radio. The Graham Denver commercial is so fucking funny. 20 minute mark. Nooooo.

~~Free Max B~~. Max B free 😀😀😀

👀 Krooked x Quartersnacks available on our webstore today @ noon E.S.T. 👀

Yoooo… calling this edit from David Mauvais and his crew a “footy dump” is crazy. The front board body varial bigspin thing in The Bronx, the ollie off the manny pad at Seventh and Greenwich, the switch tre lip, wow. All New York x New Jersey x Philly clips.

“Floorspace” is a very sick upstate New York edit from Martin Wilson. Great filming, cutty spots, fast skating, timeless vibes.
