At 44, Jack Sabback might be the youngest person canonized by Bobshirt yet. Case in point: is that copy of Static II the first time Tim passed a guest a DVD instead of a VHS?

Myles Willard gets the Threads Idea Vacuum treatment in Vacant Street Blues, an all-Baltimore video by Ben Schmidt. Guest editor is a cool idea, more people should jump on this. 

Filmer Seamus Foster put out a short zine to accompany this summer’s masterpiece, BARKING AT THE KNOT, but if you didn’t get your hands on a copy, Galen DeKemper’s review/transcription of the video is live. 

I don’t think Aragon Gardens looks like a bad spot, per say, but I don’t know if it would be my first pick to skate regularly. The same can’t be said for Matlok Bennett-Jones, who got juiced off a single clip in his pro part and decided to film an entire part there for Pass~Port.

Justin Drysen is back and skating better than ever in GRINDING THE TAPE, Swim’s latest. Also features Marley Humphreys clips, an Ethan Loy mini-part, and a mindmelting manual ender… but no Dan Plunkett footage.

That’s Cool is a two piece from Augustin Giovannoni with full parts from Raphael Langslow (for fans of: fast skating, basics done well, a few slams) and Noah Mahieu (for fans of: creative spots, quick feet, weird spots), with a couple of montages in between.
