The Week Today, Now - 27/01/2025

Bringing you the latest and greatest skateboard news from the last week, including Aaron Loreth's Favourite Spot, a new 5BORO full-length and Gifted Hater's investigating the Chris Cole allegations.

Farran Golding's back with another instalment of his legendary 'Favourite Spot' series for Quartersnacks and this time he's chatted to cult favourite, Aaron Loreth, about the iconic wallride at his local stomping ground, West Park. Few people can lay claim to a spot like Aaron and this bit of wall so unsurprisingly he offers a really insightful look into his process.

If, like us, you've been missing Don Irfan's cheeky grin since he returned home to Malaysia then you'll be very pleased to hear that he's got some clips in Cozyclub Worldwide's recently-uploaded full-length, 'DUMBO', alongside a load of his local homies and even some cheeky Conor Charleson clips as an added bonus. Miss ya mate!

The Polar Skate Co lads have left the beaten track well behind them as they make their way around Utah and Texas in their new 'Salt Lake and Austin' clip, showcasing a load of bonus clips from their recent full-length with Jamie Platt, Emile Laurent, Kiki Kakitani, Dylan Mills and more hitting up a variety of esoteric spots.

Skateboarding's Dark Knight, Gifted Hater, has donned the mask once again as he takes a look into the domestic abuse allegations surrounding Chris Cole with a full investigation of all the available evidence. Obviously it's pretty shocking but the allegations have been floating around for a while and it's good that they're finally being discussed properly outside of SLAP.

Almost 10 years after their last full-length, 5BORO are back bringing those old-school vibes in 'The 5Ball Video', coming through with a fresh dose of raw and rugged NYC hammers at some of the city's most iconic spots from the likes of Jimmy McDonald, Andrew Singh, Neil Herrick and more.

New Orleans' Humidity Skate Shop have teamed up with Thrasher for a new collab and of course they've marked the occasion with a bangin' new video featuring the likes of Jordan Trahan, Philly Santosuosso, Brian Reid and Griffin Gass alongside a load of the local homies.

Roman Pabich has dropped what's probably the heaviest sponsor me video of all time as he crushes everything in his path, from vert ramps to handrails, in search of a new board hook-up. If this dude's struggling to find a sponsor it's not looking good for the rest of us.

Elite footwear brand, AREth, bring that signature Japanese flavour in their new video, 'Tension', coming through with stylish night lines and top-tier trou from local legends like Shoma Takeda, Kohei Miura, Lui Araki and more as well as their Stateside affiliates: Dylan Drew, Zach Chamberlin and Ty Beall.

Maceo Moreau has treated us to a bangin' little highlight reel from Marseille's most productive man, Victor Campillo, showcasing some of his greatest hits from 2022 to 2023 including a load of high-speed lines and next-level board control.

That's enough chit-chat though. Head to the shop to buy the latest clothing and skateboard decks from CSC. Or, check out more of the latest news, videos, and product reviews on the CSC Blog. Safe.
