Stuck In Manny Jail

SHIT’LL BUFF is a fire new homie video by Andrew Bawtinhimer. 80% New York spots, 20% …Georgia / Florida? (Could be off.) Lost of crust, lots of bangers. Josh Baker has an absolutely incredible ender section. The closing noseblunt, the ConEd trick, and the fact they managed to go through all that trouble to unlock a new route at Chinatown Manny, only to have the camera pan and you realize after all that, he’s still landing in cobblestones? Brilliant.

Young legend Eddie Vargas Jr. spoke to Skate Jawn about his switch ollie over the Copley Square Library Gap in Boston.

Preseason Already

Why the hell is there already a Knicks preseason game tonight? We just won last week…

Naquan Rollings posted up his edit from the L.E.S. Park skate jam dedicated to the memory of Marquis Blondel ❤️

“Cities hire ad agencies to craft entire campaigns to woo tourists. The skate shop video as a genre achieves the same thing powered by a handful of skaters placed somewhere around their late-teens and into their early-20s, a couple of responsible adults, and a steady flow of price-point shop decks.” Ian Browning wrote about the enduring power of skate shop videos for Closer. (Loosely related / ICYMI: A QS piece we did on the enduring power of shop …tees.)

Gabriel Fortunato with two lines @ the Fulton Street Subway stairs. Must be nice.

Fuck This Industry posted up a vlog from their trip through New England to Genuine Risk Lane. Includes Coles Bailey footage, yes.

Second City Hangover

The Do Or Die D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is holding a GoFundMe for their next series of builds. If you don’t know about the space, Jenkem did a video profile of the crew earlier this year.

You gotta wonder what the reply rate would be if you hit your widest-spanning group chat suggesting you skate a …concreted-barrier-turned-spine under a bridge in Pittsburgh that you gotta shovel snow off of — at night. Those are the sorts of lifers found in Wyatt Nicholas’ One Jagged Loaf video out of Pittsburgh, with parts from Jay Pitser, Alex Nivison and Eli Campbell. Love the nollie flips in this one.

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 💪
