Crowded

Pour one out for Grey Skate Mag, who announced that, after sixteen years of platforming a generation of English skateboarding via an excellent print mag and one of our favorite YouTube channels, they’re calling it quits. Godspeed, and thanks for everything.

The Michigan homies came to town, linked with the Coda squad, and skated the absolute worst banks New York City has to offer.

The week in local vids:

• Where You Been, Uprise Skateshop’s latest, shows what Chicago has to offer far beyond downtown.

• A Way Out, Michael Babbitt’s third Portland, Maine video, is a feel-good offering from a scene you should keep on your radar going forward. Remember: get out there with your friends as soon as the weather warms up.

A moment of silence for Pulaski, as well. Those knobs will be off sooner rather than later, but America’s longest running, unmarred ledge spot is almost certainly on borrowed time.

The best column in skateboarding, Rules of Skateboarding, is back at its new home, Skate Bylines. This edition: TJ Rogers on posting through a crisis. 

For a spot with such deep history, turns out I knew very little about Sants. Grateful for this documentary from Bubble, from the POV of who skated there on a regular basis.

RIP Love Park. Gone ten years ago this weekend. Damn.
