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.

No Spots In Spotsylvania

Adding Ratscavage’s CURB video to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 CURB is a 27-minute video filmed exclusively at the 12th and Monmouth curbs / D.I.Y. in Jersey City. Heard the spot called Moishe’s ages ago, but haven’t really been tapped in with what’s going on with Jersey City skateboarding in recent times. Calling it Moishe’s on the map because “Oh jeez, I worked for Moishe, I worked for Mayflower…”

Back tail shove sorcery on the ledge between the two banks at ConEd plus more in the new Late Nite Stars throwaway edit — hopefully a hint of a new full-length on the way.

The community board approved the construction of the Brooklyn Skate Garden in Mount Prospect Park, albeit the scaled-down version that is half the size of the original plan.

You The World

For the life of me, cannot backtrack to where this screengrab originated from, but it was definitely a non-American skate video from January. Anyone?

Mike Heikkila is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, and presumably the first person to ever get a haircut on Blubba. Good reminder to keep that lotion on you this winter.

The Palace team (+ Lucien Clarke’s mom) gather around the TV to rewatch their seminal all-London video from 2017, Palasonic. Would be dope to see them commentate on the Bronze x Palace Paramount video, which feels a bit “forgotten” within each’s respective videography.

“The idea that I could make a show about skateboarding, but wouldn’t be relegated to ‘skate art’ but be taken seriously as an art show that happens to be about skateboarding, was something I am grateful for.” Esteban Jefferson spoke to Monster Children about his new solo show that is inspired by the Brooklyn Banks. It is on view @ 303 Gallery on W. 21st Street until February 26.

The 2024 Quartersnacks Cup — Recap

The first year of the QS Cup Presented by Vans went down in Greenpoint, Brooklyn — just steps away from the onetime home of the world famous Autumn Bowl. Sixteen of the world’s best skaters were paired in an eight-race bracket, racing each other around our specially engineered pump track until only one skater was left standing with the trophy.

IT’S GRANT TAYLOR DUDE — Hjalte & Antonio Bookend the Nike SB x Dancer Video

This above iPhone angle screengrab really captures the essence of this sick fuck thinking it’s appropriate to switch flip five feet high in the air to clear a three-flat-three. Throw a police barrier across the flat and nothing changes. Also worth noting the subsequent gash in the ground that he rides through as if directly aiming for it.

Hjalte Halberg — who was missed in SB’s Quickstrike opus — dropped a new edit for his Dancer softgoods imprint to celebrate their collaboration with Nike SB. Features an ensemble of influential Scandinavian swoosh-wearers (Karsten, Ville, Hugo, Vincent Huhta) scouring the corners of Copenhagen that the tourists don’t typically make it to (save a few mandatory clips at Jarmers Plads), with Antonio bringing it back to New York for the switch flip in question + some Bond Street bangers at the end.
