• Daewon Song and Chris Haslam Ring in the New Year at Harbor City Skatepark (Video)

  04-01-2026 18:07 via skateboarding.com
  
  They say great minds think alike, and I'd say this is all the proof we need. It might've been wet and raining in Southern California on New Year's Eve but that didn't stop Daewon Song and Chris Haslam from heading to their local park and rolling around—even though neither of them knew each other would be there. Ha! "I ended up at Harbor City skatepark on New Year’s Eve and by coincidence so did @waywardnephew [Chris Haslam]," Daewon wrote on Instagram. "It was a 'Cheese and Crackers'

• Watch: Alec Spinosi Lights Up the Streets in 'New Year's Day' Part

  03-01-2026 01:20 via skateboarding.com
  
  Whether you're familiar with Alec Spinosi or not is hardly important. The dude rips and his latest part is the perfect introduction either way. All you VX1000 purists—eat your heart out. This is how it's done, both in front of and behind the lens. Cutty spots. Deep bag of tricks. And style for days. Take a look:I'll admit that I wasn't super familiar with Alec before I saw this part. I know he dropped a Thunder part a few years back. And I know he hails from Alabama. But it blows my mind t

• The Seattle Skate Scene Goes Off in 35th North’s 13th 'All City Showdown' Edit

  03-01-2026 00:40 via skateboarding.com
  
  35th North just dropped its full All City Showdown edit form 2025, and it just might be the gnarliest one yet. 13 teams. 8 hours to film. $10,000 on the line. This is as real as it gets! We were stoked to see the All City Showdown returned last year—the original true street skateboarding contest born in Seattle—after an eight year hiatus. It was definitely missed. But it's back and better than ever, and everyone killed it in 2025, to say the least. This edit is all the proof you need

• Watch: A Look Back at Van Wastell’s Transition Skating (1989-2008)

  02-01-2026 21:38 via skateboarding.com
  
  Every once in a while, Van Wastell's brother Eddie cuts up a bunch of classic Van clips for us all to enjoy. There's always a theme, which I love, and the latest in the mix is the Van Wastell Transition Files—just under six minutes of Van skating transition.The cherry on top? We go all the way back to 1989 to see (what I believe is) Van's first drop in... all the way to 2008 when he was already our favorite skateboarder. This one rules! Take a look:Different eras, different spots, differen

  01-01-2026 22:52 via skateboarding.com
  
  It's a new year and I'd say we're off to a good start. Baker just dropped about 90 seconds of ripping Mingus Gamble clips in mingusRAW and it's a proper tone-setter, if you ask me. Mingus has been on fire for a while but it's clear he's coming into his own. Power, style, control—Gamble has all the boxes checked.

• Watch: 20 Minutes of Kai Kishi Raw Skateboarding Footage From 'LORE'

  01-01-2026 09:55 via skateboarding.com
  
  Kai Kishi has been on fire the past few years. No debate. The dude seems to be everywhere and I think it's safe to say he's officially a household name at this point. His clips in Kev Perez's indie video, LORE definitely stood out amongst the hard-hitting cast, and Perez just dropped 20 minutes of raw clips to prove it. The battles, the close calls, the ones that got away—it's all here. We love this stuff. Take a look:While Kai leads the charge here, we also see clips from Daniel Scales, B

  01-01-2026 09:33 via skateboarding.com

They just dropped their 2025 Year in Review edit and I bet it'll be one of the gnarliest things you'll watch today. We've seen most of the clips, sure, but seeing them packed into one gnarly edit makes you realize the year this crew has had. Settle in and get stoked. Oh, and Happy New Year!

• Morgan DT Blurs the Line Between Snow and Skate in New '365' Video Part

  31-12-2025 19:01 via skateboarding.com
  
  It feels like we post at least one video from Ambition Snowskates every year, and every year the clips get gnarlier. Morgan DT ditched his trucks and hit the snow-covered streets for his new '365' part, and I'm personally as blown away as ever. It's not quite skateboarding. Not quite snowboarding. But it's clear that Morgan's spot and trick selection clearly stem from someone who rips on a skateboard—and he does. These edits always get us talking nonetheless, and this is no exception. In f

• Skating Russia's Frozen Lakes and Skate Spots Made of Ice in 'Morok'

  When this video was sent over, from Russia with love, from our friend Kirill Korobkov, it was an instant mind-blower. The skater is Ilya Batrakov, and he's been filming this video, a lot of it by himself, for the last three Russian winters near the Iskona River. We've never seen anything like this (granted, what Simon Isaksson gets up to in his hometown of Lulea, Sweden deserves an honorable mention), Ilya is falling through lake ice, felling trees to create pole jams and straight up skating led
