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.

“My first response was that its super chill and that I have a good balance on both, but now that I think about it, the way I and a lot of people in New York operate is not normal.” Heckride’s latest is an interview with young legend and Limosine rider, Enzo Kurmaskie.

Jake Baldini becomes the first person to ever return a purchase and replenish his balance in the new installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Shout out to Jake and his crew for that bank-to-ledge at Mosquito Beach.

“I do remember chatting to him when he was pranging out about having to switch flip the London Bridge stairs, that’s quite funny. He was pranging out the night before, I just remember thinking you don’t actually have to do this.” Lev Tanju nerded out over his favorite pieces of U.K. skate lore for Slam City Skates’ “Visuals” series.

🚨🍝 We have a Mommy’s Little Meatball tee sighting! 🍝🚨 Germany’s Irregular skate mag made a very fire Summer Trip To New York edit featuring Denny Pham, Daniel Ledermann (doing the best backside flip imaginable, naturally), Nassim Lachhab and more. The whole thing really picks up a few octaves towards the end, too.

The city announced a partnership with The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation) that will renovate objectively two of the worst skateparks in New York (the one inside Brower and this one in The Bronx that some people from The Bronx don’t even know exists), plus build new ones in Soundview and Prospect Park. Waiting on that phase two announcement for the Banks though…
