Apologies for CMOAC but people seemed to enjoy this the last two times.
I picked my favourite 10 videos from Free Skate Mag’s 102 (at date of writing) YouTube uploads and wrote some nonsense about each one.
Big up Arthur for the Spaceman 3 reference too…
the Ellington rework had me coughing biscuits
Thanks @andy_smoke I was a bit worried that either Dan or Conor would be upset/not find it funny but they did happily. Further confirmation from a stellar human such as yourself is most gratifying.
Repeated [/cmoac] violations from me but some of you might like this article I wrote for Free re Malmo importing LOVE granite and the ongoing redevelopments at Muni in Philadelphia.
Big up all involved.
You know that shit’s high brow when the word vanguard appears in the first sentence!
Anon knows his way around a thesaurus like Selley at MK Buszy
That’s rad.
Pretty funny that Philly threw it all out then did a copy of a copy.
They’ll be asking for the marble back soon like Greece
Laughs in Frederic Jameson
Cole Nowicki’s latest newsletter really well handles Christine Flannigan coming forward about Chris Cole’s abuse and delivers a solid account of skateboarding media’s flaws around such situations and in general.
Mostly Skateboarding podcast had a heads up for Plank skate mag this week, sounds like its gonna have some good writing within

Interesting piece by our own @PiledriverWaltz giving a potted history of the use of fisheye in skate videos for Quartersnacks.
Good article, eh. I posted it earlier but couldn’t decide where to put it so stuck it in the camera thread - probably makes more sense here though.
My mistake - apologies.
has a posted a slew of quotes from, i’m hoping,
Elsewhere: the story of UK skateboarding
- book hype!
- it clearly deserves its own thread
- incorrectly guessing who said what is amusing me:
Davross?
That’s a list from after the first year or so - it’s been four and half years now, and I just never added new ones.
That one might actually have been Simon. I’ll check in a bit.
There’s at least one @anonymity quote on there, and possibly a @Mark line.
When is it dropping @buildafire ?
I’m ordering a signed copy!
My deadline is in a few weeks, although I’ll still be delivering stuff for a while after.
On the shelves September ‘25.
Also, Curtis just did his interview. Got 5,000 brilliant words from him.
ah nice - not sure how i missed it before.
the “fuck you give us a magazine” line seems it could be an Anon gem
also, the Sixpack not travelling as one killed me, ahhaha
So sick
Been waiting to hear those words for decades
