“Was Waiting For That One” — Violet’s “SQUEAKY” Video

Violet‘s long-awaited, years-in-the-making “SQUEAKY” video is live. Well, it went live on Sunday morning, and usually we try to post one of the year’s marquee releases way before it has …74,000 views, but some stuff happened in Texas on Saturday night, so the proceeding two days were not the most productive stints at the office.

At the premiere, we sat a few rows in front of Joey Marrone and a bunch of Philly heads, and any time Mike Ward or Kris Brown would pop on the screen — whether it was an actual trick, BGPs, their name — they would scream, “Mike Ward! I love that guy! Kris Brown! I love that guy!” It was funny right away, and then there was a moment of “wait are they dragging this,” and shortly thereafter, it got even funnier into becoming a full laugh out loud bit that continued up until their names appeared in the credits. I can’t read Mike or Kris’ name without visualizing them ending with an exclamation point anymore :) Just a really great premiere memory, and why IRL stuff like packing out a theater is so important.

Weekend Viewing: “CREASED,” A Johnny Wilson Video For Nike SB

In uncertain times, humans seek comfort. Today, this comfort is found in a house-y Johnny Wilson edit — a tried and true combination if there ever was one — anchored by Wilsonian staples like Antonio, Cyrus, Bobby, and Karim. Alongside them are Poe Pinson, Joseph Campos, Jack O’Grady, Elijah Odom, Casper Brooker, Troy Gipson and Ville Wester, aiming to find the lightning that Nelly found with his crew of St. Lunatics in 2002.

It’s Like Zero Bond, But With A Mini Ramp

HARD DRIVE is a New Haven, Connecticut scene video from the younger generation gyrating around Plush Skateshop. We have a soft spot for CT videos on here in general, but this one is very special. It makes a small(ish) city like New Haven feel like a big city scene and a small town all at once, full of night footage and the sort of third-eye-open spots you find when traversing the same hometown back lots over and over. No names, no info, but it rules. Last dude rips.

Most Wanted” is the latest bi-coastal edit from Crazy Ass Paterson Skaters. Ross’ kickflip front 5050 was 10/10.

The O.G. Tompkins bench is at the Star Team Shop.

BARRIO” is a new, all-Bronx edit from the Hunny Dip NYC crew. Kickflip back tail on one of those planter rails is a wild thing to try 💪

Chuck’s Viral Sunburn

#mood via Humidity Skateshop

Leo Heinert’s Blitz Jam series hosted an impromptu skate jam at Flushing last week, and a bunch of wild shit went down. Really sick seeing people huck down the six, which feels like it hasn’t seen a ton of action since they renovated it over COVID. Brandon has got to go back for that 360 flip — that was wild.

Hypebeast paid a visit to Carpet Company HQ in Baltimore, and came back with a video exploring the two brothers’ creative and production process.

Soo Saxton is back with Gabe Shah for another six minute part filmed entirely in New York. You can feel the cold through the screen in some of those clips.
