Nachos For Dinner

Daily News November 9th, 2026 · 12:00 am

The Banks wallride rodeo flip (still a [?] btw) from last week’s countdown originated from a great New York x New Jersey edit by SK8FILES, entitled “Do A Flip” — lots of footy from Peaches, Fidel does an absolutely fucked Chauncey trick in addition to the wallride + the nose manny into the steps kickflip at Borough Hall was fire.

Truly hope that Nick Kirch’s new Free part gets some year-end superlative consideration because between the skating itself, the spot selection, and the element of surprise within, it is one of the best parts of 2026. That Police Plaza line is up there with ~~Jamie Thomas~~ Nate Rojas at the Banks and Antonio at Times Square as one of the best lines ever done in this city. Also love how it’s the only clip he bothered getting in New York.

“This city is fuckin’ hip-hop.” Our friend Carolina Gamboa is the latest spender in Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series.

Marcello Campanello by Matt Price 📷, jacked from the 18 East Copenhagen zine. Might be, idk, the “summeriest” skate photo in recent memory, and that felt appropriate as this one closes out.

Tuesday because Labor Day, etc. ☀️

Connor Champion and Josh Velez share a quick lil’ Barcelona part for Grand Collection.

“All I cared about was money…and then I jumped on a skateboard. And I was like, dude, I forgot how much fun this was. What the fuck was I doing? All that fucking money did nothing for me.” V Magazine is probably the least likely place you’d expect to find a profile of Eugene Kang and Terminal Skateshop, the shop he runs in Washington Heights out of his sixth floor walk-up apartment building, but it’s beautiful.

JOSE! JOSE! JOSE! JOSE! JOSE!

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.

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.
