For Mac — Eighty Twunny’s ‘TOOK THAT’ Video

Daily News August 20th, 2025 · 8:05 pm

Eighty Twunny and an amalgamation of Travel Skateshop brodies just dropped TOOK THAT, a follow-up to 2023’s Backside Sitdown. It was made in memory of their friend Mac.

Standouts include Derek Thor stretching the switch frontside crook in ten different directions (ride on, to manual, dual dismounts into the Greenville bank to cap it off), Aron Moloney finding ways to sneak a switch frontside crook on his way out of L-ledges and into fakie manuals, and Will Robins, who does no switch frontside crooked grinds but Steely Dans his way into answering a question that has been asked by any skateboarder who passed the Halsey J underpass this summer: “why the fuck is that thing concrete’d over?” (Fully prepared for the first comment to be “bro, that thing has been concreted since 1991,” but baby I’m not over by the Halsey J as much as I’d like to be so I hope you understand.)

Rest in Peace Young Scooter 💔

“The temperature in Central Park plummeted by 26 degrees within a single hour on Saturday afternoon.” Let this be a reminder to strategize when your group text is all horny to skate in t-shirts on the next 80-degree morning. Bros were running into H&M to buy thermals at 5 P.M.

The Bronze boys are back :) First new vid since November 2023! “***POST NUT CLARITY***” has a montage from the squad, a great lil’ Jordan Trahan section, a nollie hardflip that seemingly defies physics, and a full Grady Smith [!] part at the end.

“Talkin’ To Me” is the new edit from Jack Held and his crew. Filming Courthouse from above really does wonders at showing how monstrous of a spot it truly is. Almost didn’t recognize it in the first few seconds of the trick. Manhattan Bridge drop-in was insane too, and shout out to that dude’s speed control at Three Up Three Down.

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Mark Suciu by 📷 Cole Giordano via the new issue of Closer Skateboarding, which has that incredible Evan Wasser cover dropping in on that red cube behind Zuccotti. FWIW, Zered said he only went halfway up for his drop-in, before anyone gets all precious about it ;)

Tyshawn was on The Breakfast Club for a half-hour-long interview. It is obviously for a radio station, so you’re getting some radio station ass questions about skateboarding, but he doesn’t do a ton of interviews, so there you go. New THPS game otw just casually thrown in there, too.

“It’s crazy you are doing tricks you’ve never done 30 years later.” Never know when these come out because none of their posts are dated, but No Comply Network has a lllllloooooong interview with Zered Bassett, apparently from a few weeks ago. They cover everything from first getting into skating on Cape Cod, right through life after Alltimers.

“‘The EP me and Thug [are going to] drop? The hardest duo since Outkast.’ The interviewer’s eyes widen. He starts to push back (‘Now that’s—’), but Quan cuts him off. ‘I’m not being funny.’ He presses. ‘I’m not putting too much on it. Hardest duo since Outkast.'” 💔 💔💔

“Every Saturday and Sunday morning I drive around drinking coffee and looking around the city. I’m always looking for a spot where you could put a little piece of concrete and see if it stays.” Skate Jawn interviewed our good friend John Cruz about life after Shorty’s, and the D.I.Y. scene in Newark, New Jersey.

Day one rider for Travel Skateshop [Rahway, NJ], Derek Patterson, dropped a new part for Bronson Bearings. Mainly NY + NJ clips, with a wild ender and an incredible hardflip on that drop-in gap over the street behind Pyramid Ledges.

Jermaine Whittaker has a sick new part out over on Vague, filmed and edited by Blaine Williams. Lots of Seward Park ledge tech-ery and great switch front shove form at the end.

NJ Report — ‘you*re amazing don’t forget it’ by Connor Cloonan

“you*re amazing don’t forget it” is a New Jersey scene video by Connor Cloonan, combining the crews from Branded Skateshop in Long Branch (right next door to Wenning’s hometown), and Travel Skateshop in Rahway (…someone or other’s hometown.)

Though Jersey (and by this same token, Long Island) is famous for producing skaters that go on to be more closely associated with the mega-scenes just across the state lines, the Jersey videos that exist in an insular Jersey-fied world always feel like their own genre. Sure, there’s a couple out-of-state clips, but like, you could substantially pad the runtime with a few more day trips up to New York or down to Philly — but wouldn’t it be better to dig behind every gloomy industrial park, around every state college campus, and under every highway for morsels of gold that Freddy, Petillo, Derm and them missed? (Or revisit a NJ classic with the world record for longest running sticker?)
