Weekend Viewing: Loose Trucks Max in Mama’s Boys
Gap to backside 5050 on Washington Street — Photo by Jordan Zuppa Aaron Randi and Sean Dahlberg, the creators of Mama’s Boys, had been uploading sections from the video online, but seemed to have slowed up before getting around to Max Palmer’s part, so here it is in all its pivot cup-less glory. Has there [...]
#TBT: Follow Ryan Gee on Instagram
How did the Ryan Hickey photo from Monday’s post manage to evade even the most resourceful scanner-based skateboard websites? Because it never appeared anywhere significant (Police Informer or Chrome Ball would’ve caught it by now) prior to Ryan Gee’s recent barrage of unseen 35mm scans from the nineties. Everything he’s been posting is east coast-centric, [...]
Firing Line: Artsy Edition
Long lens lines are chill. Though with our multi-decade dependence on fish eyes, they come few and far between. It’s tough to think of one from a classic video short of Ricky Oyola’s ollie into traffic line from Eastern Exposure 2, which certainly would’ve had its impact dulled a bit if the filmer ran up [...]
Stay Down With My Day One Spots & We In The Video Screaming ‘No New Spots, No New Spots, No No New…’
Ryan Hickey at the Bubble Banks (R.I.P) #nonewspots — Photo by Ryan Gee “Take the subway? The J train? Where the fuck am I gonna go on the J train?” Here’s a “new” old Dobbin Block clip. Dave Caddo does some sick stuff and Tufty has the best outfit in it. (Previously: Useless Times, A [...]
Djosh Unchained
This disclaimer in the Memorial Day Weekend clip wasn’t a joke… Here’s a @wavey_dada A.K.A. Josh Velez part filmed throughout the past winter and spring. He’s skating a bit faster, in slightly more fitted clothing, and with less flip-in-shove-it-out tricks since his $20 Off No Tax part, but he’s still a total cutie nonetheless. Watch [...]
Standalone Uploads: Sage Elsesser & Aidan Mackey in \m/ and Rick Howard in Super International Tour Zone
Two cool videos surfaced over the weekend. Here are some highlights from each, conveniently uploaded as single versions to watch before skating. Or something. \m/ is a video by Cooper Winterson and is over an hour long. A lot of embittered older bros might find it hard to get psyched off watching sixteen-year-olds skate, but [...]
Don’t Make Me Remember Stuff
Robbie Gangemi via @zered1?s Instagram R.I.P. to the best T.F. box in years. It barely even lasted a week. The pre softball permit culture of the T.F. was its golden age. Imagine if the next generation of Americans has more skateboarders than baseball players, and they kick out the softball players with skateboard permits? That’ll [...]
PWBC News Is Back!!!
Palace’s addition of Danny Brady and Benny Fairfax seemed like an inevitability, but no one expected this ninety-degree Saturday to yield the return of PWBC news. Most assumed the PWBC team had moved past broadcast journalism and into the more profitable hard goods manufacturing / Rihanna-baiting market, leaving the Tompkins bench depleted of a 2010 [...]
The Only Zoo York 20-Year Anniversary Video You Need
#slownewsweek “What’s in the future for Zoo York? Airplanes? Asteroids?” Over the past several weeks, the modern incarnation of Zoo has been releasing videos to celebrate the company’s twenty-year anniversary. Beyond an admittedly sorta sick return to Astor Place since a decade-and-a-half hiatus, a recent episode featured the team visiting the Chapman warehouse, where a [...]
Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel. Friday has a feel. Sunday has a feel.
“I might need you to get me a soda.” Monday links on a Tuesday. Photo by Matt Weber. A bunch of young kids rip around mostly east coast spots in this great /m\ video throwaway montage. Features Lurker Lou victim Matt Militano, Sage Elsesser, Aidan Mackey, Ben Kadow, a few big Dylan Reider fans, and [...]
Start of Summer / Memorial Day Weekend 2013 Montage
Not much of a “first weekend of summer,” but oh well… After temporarily maxing out on ignorance with the Forrest Edwards re-edit, we took an example from the recent direction of Baker Boys music supervision. Filmed from January through maybe one day ago, hence substantial greenery increases between varying Columbus Circle clips. Be back on [...]
Wow, Philadelphia Did Something Smart!
All photos are enlargeable There had been rumblings about Paine’s Park for over ten years. Even back when Skate Nerd was legitimately one of the few skate sites online, they’d post meeting info in an effort to get the project started. But Love and City Hall were around in original form then, so a Philadelphia [...]
Grit & Grind
Apparently, D. Wade is a D. Reider fan. He’s not the only one. Chrome Ball’s 900th post is dedicated to the Brooklyn Banks — “A testament to the resourcefulness of skateboarders when they can just be left the fuck alone.” In case you weren’t going on the site several years ago, we posted a series [...]
Forrest Edwards: The $10 Meals Re-Edit
Better nine months late than never, right? Here is a tribute to one of the few genuine personalities in modern, Everyone-Is-Good 2.0 skateboarding. Forrest is such a character that he singlehandedly rendered the One in a Million formula obsolete, as evidenced by the 2012 follow-up overextending itself in trying to compensate for his absence. If [...]
Synths, Irony & Robots: A Chronicle of Daft Punk Music Supervision in Skate Videos
Every skate site was obligated to have a “Dill & AVE Off Alien”-post, and every website on the entire internet is required to mention the new Daft Punk album. Combined with the release of Kendrick Lamar’s debut last fall and next month’s Kanye album, we are in an eight-month rut of opinion onslaught from an [...]
Probably Up In Follies With Jeezy & Cam Newton
? Shine bright like a Fudge Round ? We’ve been fans of Christian Willis’ skating for a while now. After what seems like a bit of a hiatus, he’s back taller and with a sick new video part. Why a legitimate company hasn’t given this kid a chance is absurd. Him and Forrest Edwards should [...]
The Week in Dill & AVE Rumors
It’s ironic that skaters — despite typically swearing against “organized” sports and all their constraints — so openly embrace free agency speculation. Skaters all think they’re artists and shit, but really, are no better than the geek on some message board who knew a guy that knew a guy who swore Lebron was coming to [...]
Film Review: This Ain’t California
This Ain’t California, despite its vague title (…most skate scenes are not California), is a detailed pseudo-documentary about a crossroads of recent world history and lesser-known local skate lore. Marten Persiel’s tale centers around Denis “Panik” Paraceck and his 1980s skate crew in the German Democratic Republic, the portion of Germany that was a Soviet [...]
At the Knick Game, Big Chain in All My Splendor
Did anyone actually root for the Brooklyn Nets this season? Did Hov only do that so hopefully you won’t have to go through that? This article about the making of Kids and what happened to the cast since 1995 by Caroline Rothstein is better than the movie itself. It mainly focuses on Harold Hunter and [...]
