TJ Rogers is unequivocally one of the hardest working skateboarders — whether the multitude of parts released last year, the one-man shoe release tour, or pulling up to the D7 Hardies jam and being the one person to knock out three tricks that had never been done before (fakie bigspin, switch front 3 and switch pop shove) — there was a case to be made for him being the people’s choice for Skater of the Year in 2025. In 2026, now embracing new fatherhood and easy to get on the line, we hit him to run down a few favorites.

Our friends at Dancer have a new 10-minute video out entitled “HPX8000,” which features Hjalte, J-Skrodds, and the new generation out of Copenhagen. Filmed entirely across Denmark, 95% on spots that the skate tourists don’t skate.
“If it fails, let’s fail really bad. Let’s just have fun with it in the meantime.” High Snobiety an a profile on Ayman and Osama about the new Carpet store that they just opened up in Baltimore.

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.
#’s On That Board
Stafhon Boca and a fan 🔥
“In a remarkable gesture of support for grassroots skateboarding, renowned skateboard designer Antonio Durao has fulfilled a long-held dream by donating a collection of his Hardbody deck models and essential skateboarding gear to the Uganda Skateboard Society.” Pretty sure E.J. designed those, but a beautiful collaboration. S.O.T.Y. shit. 🏆
No Jeff Cecere video this Christmas, but he’s working on one 🎅
Fuck This Industry made some decks, and to commemorate, dropped a full Myles Underwood part to much critical acclaim. (“Dis might be more influential then the el toro flip 💯.”)
Another 2025 TJ Rogers part?! Yep, Another 2025 TJ Rogers part!

“Everything hard to get or expensive isn’t necessarily any more fulfilling. If caviar was $1 a pound, I don’t think anybody would want it.” Jenkem interviewed Antonio Durao about the move to Hardbody, sponsorship history, and his beautiful perspective on this thing we call life ❤ ️
Ted Barrow runs through the history of the Courthouse-Blubba-Columbus Park triangle that sits at the site of the once worst-slum in America — and now makes up probably 25% of New York skate coverage — for the latest episode of Thrasher‘s “This Old Ledge.”
Our friends at Place Mag and Daniel Paese tried to answer one of humanity’s most confounding questions via video essay. No, not are we alone in the universe, but the eternal: “why don’t you skate at the skatepark?”
