The restored Brooklyn Banks stand as a monument to contemporary street skateboarding: the act itself and the culture’s emergent civic guardianship. We checked in to hear what the space means for the generations of New York skaters localising the Banks once again 🧱 — skatebylines.com/2025/07/15/b...
The red brick Brooklyn Banks underneath the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The Banks are cast partially in shadow and a skater walks up one of their inclines.

History, as the cliché goes, is written by the victors. Journalism, historical record of the published word, is written by successful pitchers.

“They spur the losers of the world to take heart — to rise and lose again,” writes Veeck. “Without losers, where would the winners be? So who, in the final analysis, is most entitled to historic memory?”

The New York Mets of 'Can’t Anybody Here Play This Game?' were record-making losers. They were significant, however, not only for their failure on the field but the inspiration which can be found in such failure.

Skate Bylines @skatebylines.bsky.social · 01/07/2025
Such descriptors can feel all too familiar for the writer (or any creative) who finds themselves striking out on a failed pitch or, worse yet, the deafening silence of unresponsive editors. And what is “failing”, but a close cousin of “losing”?

Skate Bylines @skatebylines.bsky.social · 01/07/2025
In the introduction to Jimmy Breslin’s 'Can’t Anybody Here Play This Game?', an account of the New York Mets’ historically bad first year, baseball luminary Bill Veeck frames the story as “a history of the Mets, preserving for all time a remarkable tale of ineptitude, mediocrity and abject failure.”

"I wanted it to breathe.I wanted to see Dylan riding up, riding away. I wanted to see everything, like the board going under the bus, you know? When you watch Dylan skate, everything around him was so interesting too," says Greg Hunt 📷 Anthony Acosta — skatebylines.com/2025/05/26/d...
Dylan Rieder boardslides a long handrail on his skateboard, backdropped by a large green bush covering the exterior of a red building. Set within the image is a black and white portrait of Rieder, smiling, pointing his skateboard towards the camera with it's truck axle crack after being ran over by a bus.

"Orson Welles had it that, 'If the camera doesn’t like an actor, it just stares at him.' Cameras loved Dylan, but skateboarders loved him better. Eventually," writes @kylebeachy.bsky.social of Dylan Rieder. — 🌹https://skatebylines.com/2025/05/26/dylan-rieder-style-was-his-soul/
Professional skateboarder Dylan Rieder and Greg Hunt sat smiling looking at an Apple Macbook laptop, reviewing footage from Rieder's 2010 short film, 'dylan.' by Hunt. Rieder has tussled and style brown hair, is wearing a white oxford shirt, and holds a cigarette in his hand. Hunt, a years his senior, has short hair, a trimmed beard and wears a blue corduroy shirt.  Dylan Rieder ollies on a white quarterpipe. He is floating high in the air against as a dark evening sky.

"Whatever the change he caused, it was not language that did it. Dylan Rieder was no rhetorician, was not inspired to speak a movement into existence ... No, the revolution of Dylan was not linguistic. It was formal, visual, and spiritual." writes Beachy. skatebylines.com/2025/05/26/d...
