Skate Jawn has a Khaw Wangkaji and friends edit by Hans Klein, entirely filmed in New York — which is where the absolutely psychotic 360 flip into the escalator bank at World Trade from last week’s Top 10 originated from. The 5050 front biggie on the Brooklyn Bridge Park rail + the tre lip in Long Island City were both nuts as well. Lots to enjoy.

Free has a premiere of Mark Humienik and Grady Smith’s part in Tristan Mershon’s Singer Tower video, which effectively acts as a throwback VX Bronze crew section within the video + Skate Jawn has a premiere of Josh Narvaez’s Singer Tower part.

Zander Mitchell kickflips halfway down the bank at the Battery Park roof ledge-to-bank across from South Ferry, and skates the Courthouse Drop like a bank-to-ledge [?!] in his pro part for Jacuzzi Unlimited. The ender is some galaxy brained light-footedness.

👀 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.

Devil’s Pie

“Eden told me the benches cost the city about $1,000 apiece. It takes a skateboarder to know that you don’t need a big, expensive park to make skaters happy.” Willy Staley (our friend who wrote Tyshawn’s NYT profile and the incredible post-lockdown deep dive on The Sopranos enduring through the generations) penned a full feature for The New York Times Magazine about how the Love Park granite wound up in Malmo, Sweden. The king is just a dude.

Somehow missed this a lil’ while back, but it seems like others did too: “timeout” is a three-minute New York montage by Jake Durham with appearances from Nelly Morville, Mathias Rostein, Matt Militano + others.

East River Park south of Delancey opened on Friday. This means that the bridge that once lead to Alligator Ledge is back, although — brace yourself for bad news — it will not feature an Alligator Ledge. It does, however, include some suburban parking lot manny pads.

📅 1) Naquan & crew crew are hosting a skate jam with Thrasher at the Red Hook Skatepark tomorrow (9/9) @ 3 P.M. Flyer here. 2) Asics will be premiering their new video by Jacob Harris, A Guided Tour, at Palace Bar in Greenpoint this Thursday @ 8 PM. 21+. Flyer here.

“Will Steve Rodriguez and Gotham Park ultimately need to petition city hall to install a higher-yet rail or add several kinks? Does Antonio Durao’s membership in the rarified club of street handrail switch backside noseblunters put him on track to join the yet-more exclusive cadre of street handrail switch kickflip backside noseblunters?” …yeah, um, about that. Boil the Ocean wrote about how good the skateboarding going down at the Banks 2.0 is.

Can’t Rush A Bluntslide

Shout out to the street pool in The Bronx. They’re really using skater brains to make something out of …yeah. Not sure about diving off the scaffolding though.

“Are you a believer?” It has been over a year since the last Panorama or Rat Ratz video, but to hold you over, Spezzatura dropped “RAWR 5,” a compendium of what has gone down in the Milan skate scene since the winter. Safe to say that the subtitles are once again the funniest part. Very pretty flat at the start 🇮🇹

Ben Kadow did the “5 Greats” questionaire for Thrasher. Can’t wait for Ben to skate to Chief Keef in his next part. Also, will echo the NY Pizza Suprema sentiment 🍕 A man can really get some thinking done with a mushroom slice on the post office steps across from MSG.

Naquan Rollings continues to go through his old VX tapes, with the latest installment clocking in at 13 minutes of 2019 footy. Still committing to that back heel after the Parks Department parked at the bottom of the steps was wild. Staten Island line is a classic too. [Previously: Midtown 2017.]
