  07-01-2026 01:01 via skateboarding.com
  
  adidas Skateboarding certainly turned some heads when they dropped the Tekkira Cup last year. We saw a ton of great colorways come to life, the team seems to love them, and they really stood out in the line, as far as I'm concerned—and the momentum continues. With new color options like the Cream White / Off White that we see below, it’s safe to say heads will continue to turn in 2026. Get a closer look below. Kai Kishi-approved!

Our friends at @houseofhalfcab recently teased what appears to be the first Half Cab offering from OTW for 2026, and it’s a clean but noticeably different take on the classic silhouette. Personally, I'm backing these hard. As always, the attention to detail here is really something to admire. Swipe through the post below for

• Nyjah Huston: "A Harsh Reminder How Dangerous Massive Rails Can Be"

  06-01-2026 01:25 via skateboarding.com
  
  If you follow Nyjah Huston on Instagram, then you know he spent his New Year's Eve in the hospital after fracturing his skull skating what he's referred to as a "massive" rail. And let's be real—if Nyjah is calling it massive, you know it's massive. He took to Instagram earlier this morning giving us all an update—black eye and all—and the outpour of love and support from the skateboarding community has been really humbling to see.From Tony Hawk to Leticia Bufoni, your favorite

• 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:

• Aussie Ripper Nathan Jackson Lights Up the Streets of Melbourne for Ace Trucks

  05-01-2026 22:45 via skateboarding.com
  
  Filmed entirely around his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, Nathan Jackson stepped to his fair share of OG spots and cutty little gems to craft up this ripping new video part for Ace Trucks. With filmer Tony Woodward in tow, this project is sharp and dialed, both in front of and behind the lens. Using that familiar song from American Beauty for his "intro" is simply the icing on the cake. Take a look:That opening section already had my attention, but things really start to heat up around the 2:

  When he's not folding people in half on the jiu jitsu mat, Chris Russell is conquering concrete the world over. He's been one of our favorites for years—and he's just a really nice guy too. Word was spreading after the last Keris Cup that a new board company was brewing from Sky Brown and her father (who organized the skate contest in Bali). Chris Russell is a big new addition for Tanabata who boasts "Putting the TEAM back in TEAM!!

• adidas Skateboarding Teases Clean New 'Aloha Super' by Mark Gonzales

  05-01-2026 19:07 via skateboarding.com
  
  The Aloha Super from adidas Skateboarding is easily one of my favorite silhouettes from the Three Stripes squad. Gonz’s stamp of approval is more than enough of a reason to love 'em, but personally, I just simply like how they look. They're stylish. They're tough. They perform. And with new colorways like Sky/Maroon that we see below, they continue to earn their spot on skateshop shoe walls. Take a look:View this post on Instagram

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

  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'

  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

  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!

  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.

  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

• 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
