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.

Walking around chairs wrapped in merlot fabric, the waiters of L’Entracte Brasserie in Paris went about their morning shift, placing silverware and wine glasses, unfazed by the camera flashes of photographer Alex Pires.

The restaurant faces the Palais Garnier Opera House, a building that is almost two centuries old, and as iconic as other Parisian landmarks such as Notre-Dame and Sacré-Coeur. Outside the opera house, an image of the Palais Garnier’s façade was depicted on a temporary wall, producing an illusion the French call “trompe-l’œil.” It directed visitors to entrances above and below a stairway. Two hours before the venue opened at around 7 A.M. on a damp, December 2024 day, Román González threw himself into the temporary façade of the Palais, clinging onto a frontside wallride down the stairs.

The Do Or Die D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is holding a GoFundMe for their next series of builds. If you don’t know about the space, Jenkem did a video profile of the crew earlier this year.

You gotta wonder what the reply rate would be if you hit your widest-spanning group chat suggesting you skate a …concreted-barrier-turned-spine under a bridge in Pittsburgh that you gotta shovel snow off of — at night. Those are the sorts of lifers found in Wyatt Nicholas’ One Jagged Loaf video out of Pittsburgh, with parts from Jay Pitser, Alex Nivison and Eli Campbell. Love the nollie flips in this one.

J.P. Blair‘s next video, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT (sounds like a Drake album, tbh), premieres at Cinema Village on May 1, with showings at 8 + 8:45 P.M. Flyer here. 22 E. 12th Street. Not to be confused with Village East, also on E. 12th Street, but further east.

“STAGEDIVE420” is a really sick all-NYC montage featuring a lot of homies and some pro homies by Daniel Star. Gabriel Fortunato’s two pole-jam tricks were beautiful.

Our friend and longtime staple of the Duplex universe, Dan Lundy, has a new five-minute Florida edit featuring Andrew Wilson, some wild Joel Minholz footage, the Andrew crew, and a bearded Pedro Delfino somehow not snapping his board on that final clip.

No Spots In Spotsylvania

Adding Ratscavage’s CURB video to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 CURB is a 27-minute video filmed exclusively at the 12th and Monmouth curbs / D.I.Y. in Jersey City. Heard the spot called Moishe’s ages ago, but haven’t really been tapped in with what’s going on with Jersey City skateboarding in recent times. Calling it Moishe’s on the map because “Oh jeez, I worked for Moishe, I worked for Mayflower…”

Back tail shove sorcery on the ledge between the two banks at ConEd plus more in the new Late Nite Stars throwaway edit — hopefully a hint of a new full-length on the way.

The community board approved the construction of the Brooklyn Skate Garden in Mount Prospect Park, albeit the scaled-down version that is half the size of the original plan.
