  08-01-2026 23:41 via skateboarding.com
  
  More and more of our favorite pro skaters seem to be finding their way onto YouTube, and personally, I'm all for it. Some are certainly a bit more in your face than others, but dudes like Ryan Lay and Brad Cromer—just two quick examples—have sort of set the tone in their own unique way, simply letting their skating do the talking rather than themselves. Ryan Lay has been at it for a while, but his last few videos have been super rad. It's just him skating random spots, random stuff&m

  Milton Martinez always has his foot on the gas. The dude is everywhere and 2025 was unarguably one of his heaviest years to date. From major video parts to nonstop traveling and skating, it's clear that this dude is going to go down as one of the heaviest to ever step foot on a board.

• Unseen Raw Clips of Milton Martinez’s Groundbreaking Kickflip (Video)

  05-01-2026 23:33 via skateboarding.com
  
  As far as the "gnarliest tricks in skateboarding" are concerned, Milton Martinez's kickflip into the Sunset Carwash bank is certainly up there. This spot is as unforgiving as they come, which is why it's no surprise that only a select few have ever stepped to it. And while every trick and every person who's ever thrown their body off the roof and into that terrifyingly steep bank deserves their praise, it's the battles and stories behind the clips that really make them legendary.All this to say:

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'

  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
