Take in these new snaps that were taken from the Wednesday night session this week, as there’s a new mini ramp taking shape at the old Playstation park right now that seems to be going up quickly.

We heard that American Mike is not behind the build of it though, which is a shame considering he built the OG mini there and is still a regular figurehead in the park. That ramp was known to many as the best mini ramp in the world and destroyed when the park was refitted by the park’s latest sponsors. Only time will tell if this new build will match it, or even better it, but she’s looking good so far thanks to the hard work of Andy Willis and Rodney Clarke who know this place well.

Expect winter session hype soon.

Here’s the legendary mini under the hammer from the demolition feature.

DQM made up a special one-of Mast Bros Chocolate bar to celebrate 20 years of Chocolate Skateboards and celebrated in style in NYC.

Check out Marc Johnson, Jerry Hsu, Justin Eldridge, Kenny Anderson, Chico Brenes and Sean Malto who followed the 20 Years of Chocolate art show to New York City and a curb sesh and roll at LES with special guest Richie Rizzo.

If you’ve been following the Berrics series In Transition this week and watching the jaw dropping edits from Raemers, Glifberg, Raybourn and co, then get hyped on this fresh Bob Burnquist footage.

If you are switched on you would have seen the In Absentia b-roll footage kicking about this site over the last week with unseen footy of Bobby Puleo, Albie, Mike Wright, German Nieves, Andy Bautista, Rodney Torres, Brian Wenning, Anthony Pappalardo from the late 90s. Quartersnacks took Jim Hodgson’s footage to remix their own for your perusal.

This week has been awash with heavy hitting edits but Kyle Frederick here takes it further with a dope new edit that comes with a sick ender. Enjoy this Pennsylvania connection from Thrasher.
