Yesterday’s Legs Are Not Today’s Legs

This. Is. Cinema 🎬

Jenkem profiled the Utica D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy and the people who make it possible. Anytime there’s footage of dudes buying concrete, I think about the time a Home Depot employee told the Shorty’s Newark dudes that they “look like Kings of Leon” while concrete shopping.

Added the Federal Plaza section in Polymer’s Lighter Than Air video — filmed entirely at the …Federal Plaza in Akron, Ohio — to the One-Spot Part Map 📍 Didn’t know Akron had it like that.

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$nine” edit is an all-L.A. outing with a mini Thomas Dritsas part + a heelflip surprise saved for the end.

Best Bloody In Bellport

Anyone try skating the new Battery Park yet? Prob a bit crowded…

It’s funny when the knob that they skate-block a spot with becomes an apparatus for tricks like a fakie inward heel switch fifty front 180 out — pretty much ramping up the level of technicality possible on a spot more than if they had just left it alone. All that and more in Ben Patrick’s fakie-forward Coda Skateboards part, released via our friends at Village Psychic.

“It’s a certain type of punishment to have to watch a video you worked really hard on over and over and over… it’s gnarly. I’m only two premieres in, and I’m already losing my mind a little bit.” Simple Magic spoke to Ryan Lay about the Sci-Fi Fantasy premiere tour, and the return [?] of touring skate moments in general.

Head Over Wheels

T-Funk’s financial advice to his future children: “Don’t look up to me.” He thinks Tom Scharr is trying to be Bob Burnquist, but Bob Burnquist says he himself wants to be Tom Scharr. Satan’s Drano siphoned the Hot Ones format through a satanic offshoot of 90s public access TV for their show, The Last Supper, and their first guest is Tristan Funkhouser.

Melodi dropped a quick edit for their Spitfire collab. Mostly New York clips, with a lot of homies. Quinn, Coles, Gabe ‘n them :)

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.]

Heat Wave?

Village Psychic has the web premiere of Kevin Barthold’s part in A 20 Of Regular, which covers every genre of New Jersey crust imaginable.

Some spots only last a day. Neil Herrick talks through three photos and a couple of trick battles he had from 5Boro’s 5Ball video with Skate Jawn.

“In the 80s in the New York, Halloween was a license for craziness. It was beyond egging cars. It was a lot of violence…” TWS spoke with O.G. Bruno Musso (if you have the Full Bleed book, that’s Musso on the cover) about the 80s and early 90s days of the Brooklyn Banks.
