ALL SKATEVIDEO ENDERS from 2025
Every video part ender of 2025 in one video
If you're looking for the ultimate dopamine-hitting, mom-get-the-camera video to hype you up to skateboard this week, the gentlemen at Top10Sk8 put together every ender from 2025 skateboard parts. Well... surely they couldn't have gotten every single one, but 15-minutes of the best ones.

SUPREME's "Sunset Bowlevard 2025" Video
The Supreme Bowl Competition
In November, Supreme held a jam/contest on their bowl in Hollywood. This bowl looks so fun, and was also featured in a William Strobeck/Supreme video 'King Puppy', where Grant Taylor murders the bowl with Roy Orbison behind the skating... sick video.
Anyway, Neckface hosts the contest and winners get some things made by Neckface and Gonz.

Just Enough by Hugh O'Hare
A feel-good crew video from New Jersey
I haven't heard of any of the skaters in this video before or the filmmaker, Hugh O'Hare, but I really enjoyed their video on Quartersnacks YouTube.. The skating, music and filming all combine to make this project an easy watch. The spots are awesome, and there's some beautiful B-roll throughout. I'll definitely be rewatching this one a lot.

PREMIERE: Jasper Steinbach | The After Hours Video
After Hours Skateshop tease their first full-length video with Jasper Steinbach's part
After Hours Skate Shop, from Saint Paul, Minnesota 🇺🇸 have just released their first full-length video, which I can't find... I presume they released Jasper Steinbach's part as encouragement to either buy a copy of the video or watch it when they release it on YouTube (if they do).
Anyway, I hope I can see the rest of the video because Jasper's part was quality! The ledge tekkers combined with cool editing, tasteful filming and artsy B-roll (which isn't all artificial and over the top) are all there in abundance. Sickkk part.

New Balance Numeric | 770 in Melbourne
New Balance Numeric take the 770's down under 🇦🇺
I personally think the New Balance Numeric 770 is ugly and we don't stock 'em, sorry New Balance! I'm not a fan of the shoes but do like the trio of skaters. The tune is pretty dreadful... but the clips make it worth it.

CSC x High Rollers: The Celtic Exchange
Cardiff Skateboard Club and High Rollers Dublin team up for a project
Cardiff Skateboard Club collaborate on a project with High Rollers Skate Store in Dublin to bring us a sick project filmed in Dublin, Ireland and South Wales.
This is an easy-watch video with a proper gritty feel to it, with gritty spots to match.

Hibiki Sakai's Strush Wheels Part
Hibiki Sakai, another Japanese Shredder, drops a part for Strush Wheels
Every week, I find another unreal Japanese dude I've never heard of. Hibiki Sakai kicks off this week's Japanese section of the blog with his part for Strush Wheels, a wheel company from Japan that makes some pretty cool-looking, funky wheels.
I really like the music choice, spot choice, and editing in this part; the way the footage comes out with the matte colouring and heavy vignette fits it well. As far as the skating goes, Hibiki looks at spots in a unique way and brings a lot of flair.

Iku Denda's "仄暗-Honogura-" Part
Iku Denda, yet another Japanese Shredder 😂, releases a part for PLANT Grip
The second Japanese feature of this week's blog is Iku Denta's part from Japanese griptape company, PLANT Grip's, first full-length video '仄暗-Honogura-' available on DVD HERE.
Nighttime Japanese ledge skating, lit up by an LED on the camera filming in 4:3, is becoming one of my favourite forms of skateboarding media. Especially combined with a sick Japanese hip-hop tune.

Alien Workshop - Joey Guevara "Wander" Part
Joey Guevara drops a clean part for Alien Workshop
Simplicity is bliss in this fast-paced Joey Guevara for Alien Workshop. I can't remember the last time I watched anything from Alien Workshop, so it's cool to see them present in 2026, because them and World Industries have the coolest animated branding.
Highlight Clip
1996 Venice beach
Some Venice Beach ledge skating from 1996
Get a cool blast from the past with some near 30-year-old ledge skating from a lot of the old Girl Skateboards team through a proper fisheye! They've even put Big L behind the footage. This is my happy place. Thanks Manolo's Mixtapes!
