“For Me” is a new montage by Matt Velez of Calzone and Sable fame, and features a full ensemble of Bronze affiliates.
Max Hull shot a video of the skate jam at Ann Van for Wilkie two weekends ago ♥
Keith Denley has a trick in the new six-minute edit from Theories of Atlantis.
Quartersnacks colorway Alltimers Lambo cruisers now available at Supreme NY. They have tees, too. Webstore is still cracking, but we’re sold out of cruisers.
Skateboard tricks are sorta just stupid now.
Diamond Days #76. This one is fairly street.
New Ishod and Seaport 5.1-heavy video blog from Johnny Wilson and friends.
Blonde Reider is pretty sick. 99% sure he’s the first one to skate the second level of the Columbus Circle statue ledge from flat. Someone good should noseslide it.
You probably caught the Puleo and Wenning sections from In Absentia, but you might’ve missed the more under-the-radar parts from Rodney Torres, who has always been a bit ahead of his time, especially by east coast standards, and Andy Bautista, which contains tons of Logic #6 B-sides. R.I.P. Hoboken Ledges.
“This is a bad example, but you know like in Dodgeball, when the evil team comes out and they’ve got the best uniform, and everyone else has mixed shirts? I like that look.” Complex has a rather detailed interview with Lev Tanju.
DC Shoes is five years late on trying to merge the scene with the board. Who on their team is even partyboy-enough (in the #nyfw sense of the word) to legitimately be the face behind that shoe? Is Nyjah poised for a more fashionable rebrand?
This is what skateboarding in Alaska looks like.
The landing for that first 360 flip is literally cobblestones.
The Gonz doesn’t like Brooklyn, and Kevin Lowry cruising around non name brand New York spots is a fun watch. (Do any NBA fans find it confusing that there is a Canadian skateboarder named Kevin Lowry, and a basketball player on a Canadian team named Kyle Lowry? Or is this only a problem in the QS office?)
VHS Mag has a new interview with the first or second best skater from New Jersey, Quim Cardona.
“Best duo since Outkast” might be a hyperbole, but who really cares.
Quote of the Week: “We wanted to send PLG [Pierre-Luc Gagnon] some Dime gear, and asked him what size he was. He goes, ‘I’ll take larges for skating, and mediums for the club.'” — Antoine Asselin
How long is that new T.F. box going to stick around? How long until there’s a 24-hour police patrol at that new concreted spot downtown? Sorry for so many questions today. We are feeling very #existential.
Wondering what the sequel to the RiRi cruiser is going to be? An Oscar winner!
Dime runs down the five greatest tricks that never happened. Still amazed that a human dumb enough to try a thirteen-flat-whatever in the rain exists (unless he was on PCP or something, then that would explain everything.)
Expedition One has a sick Zered mini clip on their Instagram. Apparently, he’s having a part in the next Transworld video too.
You know mother nature has a sense of humor when there’s not much snow on the ground and warm enough to go street skating in Alaska right now.
Making customers do kickflips to purchase Tiffany Dunks seems a bit extra (they skate good though…), but did any of those shops put together a compilation of botched attempts? There has to be some comedy in there. BTW, Ian Reid still holds the title for most controversial video in the sneaker collector community.
Standalone standouts from The Brodies: Leo Gutman and Aaron Herrington.
ICYMI: New NJ Scum montage. Wow wow wow fakie hardflip.
Best part in Rich Mahogany title-holder, Luke Malaney’s part in Nevermind.
This really pushes the idea of a “skate house” to a new level. “Skate colony” maybe?
Tony Miorana x Tony Montana re-edit via the homie Canadian Connor.
Round 548974979 of Death Video throwaway footage. Is that wooden spot in Long Island City completely knobbed yet? Or just the two block ledges?
New bro cam video out of New Jersey by Connor Peterson.
So this is what happens in the Ivy League?
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: Clippers-Sixers turned into an And1 mixtape. The Sixers might suck right now, but how sad is it that between Michael Carter-Williams, draft picks and cap space, they have a much brighter next couple of seasons than the Knicks do? Also, God bless Inside the NBA.
Quote of the Week
Store Runner: “You want anything from the store?”
Kadeem: “Yeah, can you get me an O.J?”
Store Runner: “Sure, what brand?”
Kadeem: “You know, orange juice.”
Lil’ Boosie gets out on Thursday. Obviously he has kids and stuff, but is it unreasonable to expect a Writing on the Wall-esque fresh-out-of-jail opus from him?
