Tyler Pacheco – ‘Bubble‘
All cylinders firing on the bumps and downhill rollaways, with the super long-skidded bigspin to backide tailslide
Frankie Heck – ‘Spitfire X Geometric’
Burly power and surprisingly soft landings applied equally to classic line spots – nearly 30 years on, Josh Kalis’ two-up two-down in Dallas is still getting hit up – and roofs. Honk if you get BA vibes on the bump to bar wallride
Vince Palmer – ‘Rad Ratz 7’
Dude’s flick has come to look like Europe’s answer to Kader Sylla – he’s been super good, but his skating’s much more eye-pleasing as he’s grown. Points for nollieing into the frontside noseslide heelflip out, the standard version a rinsed trick in 2023
Jenn Soto – ‘Thunder Trucks’
There’s a classical summertime backward baseball cap feel running through this section, which has a twister of a trick with the frontside boardslide drop down to manual to backside 180 out, and a flawlwess nose manual nollie flip out on the wavy bench
Ryuhei Kitazume – ‘Meet You There’
Anthony Claravall snaps a plastic Digital Video Magazine case around this slug of international footage from one of the bright lights of the extremely productive Tightbooth camp, a master of the twill pant who can sit on frontside blunts forever
Dougie George – ‘Butter Goods’
Dub sounds, angular architectures and one of the best backside double kickflips in years, a trick that really needs to be done off a bump like this to look its best
Johnny Purcell – ‘Nova Scotia’
Heavy backside tailslides from the Canadian backroads, with some 10C4L-approved garments and music supervision by Instagram – they could have called this vid ‘Even Easterner Exposure’
Daniel Revenal – ‘NINETYFOUR’
Doubled-up jumps, a nice nollie noseblunt and a cameo from the AVE bench in the land of bricks and aluminum siding
Dylan Clark – ‘Genesis 3’
Persists through some trying battles and holds that one backside smith grind real long — Alanis Morissette is a bold move
Leo Bodelazzi – ‘Venture Trucks Part’
Fakie backside 50-50 on the bar, more companies need to follow Venture’s example and put him on
