Is this polling for the MPRB race and if so will they still take my advice?

I talked to the editor of Thrasher about magazine covers in the latest editoon of @colenowicki.com’s newsletter. www.simplemagic.ca/great-trick-...

Behold the latest state of skate survey from me on QS: quartersnacks.com/2025/08/the-...

Stepped on a dog bone and it’s the worst Primo I’ve had in ages.

Will contend that 1999ish 3rd Lair Skatepark at 1201 E. Lake St. had a top 5 jukebox in the Twin Cities.

Baker’s Gimmie A Break, CURREN, and Foy’s heavy SOTY Trip got @mmunzenrider.bsky.social, @kigongo.bsky.social , and @frozenincarbonite.bsky.social talking in this week’s Mostly Skateboarding Podcast. Listen on iTunes, Spotify, or at the link below. www.mostlyskateboarding.net/2025/06/gimm...

Skateboarding? Check. Urban Planning? Check. Referring to not one but TWO skaters as "Dr."? Check. Aside from video games and Bosch, this story I wrote, on how skateboarding revived an urban plaza in San Francisco, hits all my buttons. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/b...

Bought some emergency vulcs yesterday because I’d forgotten my skate shoes and it was a fun trip down memory lane but I also bruised my heel bailing a ledge trick.

Amidst all this Wolves/Thunder discourse: nobody from the state calls it “Minny;” you might just barely get away with it referencing Minneapolis.

Zach Lowe ended his Monday podcast by saying what he was stoked on 👀👀

SUPREME branded gavel and judge’s robe

Too beautiful in Minneapolis right now, Audubon Park, someone in the neighborhood, is setting off fireworks.

I’ve seen this lion at many homes in both SE and NE Minneapolis. Wonder where it was sourced from.

Gonna wear the pants today, don’t care what Eliza thinks or says.

“Are my new pants too provocative for school pickup?” is a real thought I had just now.

It takes a nation of herbs to hold us back

Been getting calls intended for a ‘Nasra,’ for more than a decade, the most recent being from Progressive Insurance over a claim on a 2022 Mercedes Benz.

Mail carrier just went by in some INSANE Hokas.

Smoke from damp firewood wafts in through windows that hadn’t been opened for weeks on a gorgeous late-April evening.

The Slap thread is disappointingly boring, but I do have the chance to try to decode the meaning of this comment on the story.

What’s the matter with skateboarding? Why is Reynolds worthy of a pro shoe when his peers have faded away? Special guest, @colenowicki.com joins @mmunzenrider.bsky.social and Templeton to talk it out. Listen on iTunes, Spotify, or at the link below. www.mostlyskateboarding.net/2025/04/what...

There’s an active thread on the Slap board about a story I did, a terrifying first.

Great article up on Quartersnacks by ol' @mmunzenrider.bsky.social about what's the matter with skating- quartersnacks.com/2025/04/the-...

Surveyed shops for QS, the hed is pretty self explanatory, thanks to all who helped out. quartersnacks.com/2025/04/the-...

New Balance releasing an old head pro shoe for an old head pro skater, with a traditional media-based rollout, could mean, probably for the first time ever, that they think skating’s target demo is no longer someone in their teens.

Love a half-building number but half-streets are better.

Bump, in glorious Southeast Minneapolis.

Put on the face cream with the SPF innit because we’re street skating today.

I’ve gotten press releases from the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League for years now and I’m not about to stop it.

It’s a pure mood! Hjalte, Bronze, and Donovon got Max HC, @kigongo.bsky.social, and @mmunzenrider.bsky.social talking in this week’s Mostly Skateboarding Podcast. Listen on iTunes, Spotify, or at the link in below. www.mostlyskateboarding.net/2025/04/hjal...

I love how often dogs stretch.

Very light rain in Northeast Minneapolis, and it smells like rain :)

Old Clip Thursday, rare hurricane, 2018.

Please get the posting below into the general pop, it’s an experiment.

A cool glass of water at 3 AM? Y'all know.

Night water just hits different.

Did Edglrd make an “anti-skate video? Is EMB worth saving? Tune in as @frozenincarbonite.bsky.social, @kigongo.bsky.social, and Templeton attempt to answer on the Mostly Skateboarding Podcast. Listen on iTunes, Spotify, or at the link below. www.mostlyskateboarding.net/2025/03/edgl...

Wife and I are talking about the inaptly named “The Laker” in NE MPLS (no lakes in NE!) and now trying to remember if @chrissteller.bsky.social said there used to be a lake up here but it was drained or something …

Many dope words describing something profound.

Old Clip Thursday or Why It’s Better To Dodge Things

You let the 4-month-old puppy out, it’s 39 and sunny, you see him lying there on the scraggly March lawn and it’s tough not to think he’s a philosopher king.

What makes skateboarding so wonderful is its ephemerality. Spots happen, then die. The reason San Francisco is having so many problems as a city is that its politics has wrongly equated its culture with buildings, making it averse to change. Skateboarding needn't be the same way.

Unshackle skateboarding from constant nostalgia and let’s let Embarcadero go.
