Ben Chadourne’s Paris in “I THINK ONE MORE MAYBE”

Daily News February 21st, 2024 · 3:29 pm

QS has completed its transition into Antonio, Hjalte and Hardbody state media this week.

2021 Q.S.S.O.T.Y. Ben Chadourne has managed to round up almost ~every skater you want to see~ from the greater Parisian / honorary Parisian / Converse-verse into “I THINK ONE MORE.” A dose on Nik Stain, Hjalte charging into traffic, a more substantial batch of K-Rod footage than K-Rod fans have conditioned themselves into expecting within the confines of a surprise YouTube montage… plus Cyrus! Sage! Vince! Vince getting tech!

Scumco and Tristan Mershon present Striking Distance 2, their latest project featuring Jake Baldini, Dave Abair, Kyle Nicholson, the legend Jerry Mraz, the legend Kevin Taylor, and many of today’s most esteemed crust evangelists.

Will Rosenstock and Venue Skateshop present Ninetyfour, the latest full-ish length video from Bust Crew and the slice in time when the A.V.E. bench was in Richmond, Virginia.

Huge past week for Ty Beall, who had heavy footage across both of the aforementioned projects, in addition to this mini part for Pepper Grip.

Jake Todd’s Philly [and beyond] video, Devil’s Pocket, is now live in full.

Wanted to leave Ben Chadourne’s part embedded here while we go on vacation for the next week.

With so much packed into “Skateboard Oscars Season” — S.O.T.Y. campaigns, big-name video releases, people being surprised with their pro boards — it’s easy to grow numb to just *how much* we are expected to absorb. It is rare for something to completely shock and shake you out of the ocean of skateboard content quite like the surprise release of Ben Chadourne’s “J’SUIS PAS BEN” part did. Even for those of us lucky enough to have seen Ben skate in real life, this one was full of surprises.

Cyrus really elevated the bar on tricks that utilize the re-built fountain ground at Flushing in his new HUF commercial. Wow.

Enjoyed this quick Jasper Stieve part from Venture and NJ Skateshop. (You should rewatch his Sportsmanshit section, btw.)

Lots of interviews this week…

“[The spot has] got to have some element that makes it weathered, so not everybody wants to skate it. But the people who do want to skate it really want to skate it.” John Gardner’s discusses presidential aspirations with Fred Gall as his V.P. in his interview from the June issue of Thrasher, which is now online.

HUF uploaded a raw footy diary of a cross-country road trip with Mason Silva, which includes much of the Spitfire part. The New York portion runs from ~6:55 through the end. It’s rad to see him pay tribute to Jake Johnson Mind Field-era spots, and they do a good job of showing why that West Houston Street hubba was an NBD for so long.

Angel Fonseca has a new part out that’ll have you missing summer days at that BAM ledge.

Vague magazine shared Hiroki Muraoka’s part from the new Traffic video, Third Shift. It includes a *wild* keyhole kickflip at the McCarren Park couch.
