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.

Threepeat — Jeff Cecere’s ‘Triple or Nothing’ Video

Daily News December 17th, 2024 · 4:53 pm · 1

Few hours late, but life, yaknow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For the third Christmas in a row, Jeff Cecere and friends have brought us a video of wholesome family entertainment to heal our minds after being pummeled by S.O.T.Y-aspirant epics.

Triple Or Nothing takes the Antonio in Johnny’s Vid approach of just throwing the trick everyone is waiting for right in the opening seconds, but with the added twist of saving another wild Reggaeton Ledges-adjacent ollie for the closing minutes of the video. Zac Gavin and Johnny Cumaoglu return to build on their third-eye sensibilities from the last project (switch crook on that underpass ledge is absurd), a lot of Krooked extended family members + Dick Rizzo pop by for cameos, and Salomon Cardenas pulls through with his finest work to date. Not a bad slate for what has to now be one of the best video franchises of the 2020s.

Needed This! — Jeff Cecere’s ‘This Is A Window’ Video Is Now Live

Daily News December 11th, 2023 · 2:00 pm · 1

Just as Mind How You Go served as a soothing reprieve from Skateboard Oscars Season™ last December, Jeff Cecere‘s This Is A Window is the comfort-viewing we all need right now. Still got a queue of S.O.T.Y. contender parts since the last Top 10 got filed, but this was an immediate click and watch-through-the-whole-way experience. (Raise your hand if there are any 4-5 minute parts from the past few months that still took two sittings to get through )

Jeff & co. are in that proverbial “window” (sorry, too easy), where each video compounds in quality from the last one. Both the skating and the craftsmanship behind the video are already somehow greater than they were in the already-great Mind How You Go. It’s a phenomenon we all witnessed while watching sequential videos from Bronze, Johnny & co. and the Duplex dudes over the years — which makes it all the more fitting that pretty much all of them come together under one umbrella in this one.

Monday Viewing — Sexhippies’ ‘Sexwax’ Video

Video & Remixes July 31st, 2023 · 12:00 pm

“Sexwax” is the latest video from Sexhippies and Orchard Skateshop videographer, Ted Purtell. Filmed in New York, Albany, and Springfield, Massachusetts, it’s the follow-up to this past winter’s inaugural “Hi” video with a small parts’ worth of footage from Eddie and Jojo Vargas + appearances from Cooper Qua, Zac Gavin, Jasper Dohrs, Carlos Kanter and Colby Strong. Fence scrapes seem to be on the rise (that ender spot is some shit you’d expect from a video out the northern U.K. crust), and there’s a tre in there worthy of the pantheon of emphatically rotated Photosynthesis tre’s.

And if you’re just joining and wondering “wtf is Sexhippies?” — Village Psychic got the backstory a few months ago re: the origins of the brand and how the crew came together.
