Saturday Morning Links

Everyone’s favorite disgraced Census worker (thankfully, his loss of employment, or the Census-equivalent, “I didn’t get fired, they just never called me back in” did not have to do with spending half a week in jail like some other Lower Manhattan degenerates we are all too familiar with) put together a flip cam clip involving throwing hot dogs into sunroofs, nightly Nolita drama, 12th & A footage, Rob Campbell, Billy Rohan, wallrides, Arnold, etc. It’s embedded after the jump.

Taji put together a check-out clip of the new Bronx skatepark by Yankee Stadium for the hip contingent’s dearest media establishment that loves to not pay people for work they were promised compensation for. The park is pretty small, but probably the most street-skater friendly skatepark in New York City. He threw up another video from the believed last day of the Banks until 2014 a few weeks back as well.

The homie Calen from Vancouver threw together a Montreal to New York City video that features some footage from the streets of both aforementioned locations over the positive dreadlocked vibrations of Waka Flocka, in addition to footage of some dumb bird who thought it was funny to ride around the East Village at 5 A.M. saluting a prominent German dictator that rose to power in 1933. Thankfully, she got bodied. Thrown off her bike and everything. There are also clips of Marquez getting punched in the face.

P.S. If you were trying to run the whole Saturday on Park Avenue thing, the rail is back over the six at FedEx, so don’t bother. Conspiracy theories are circulating around P-Rod and Nike paying for it to be replaced.

Irresponsible Quote for the Weekend: [while very disgruntled with life] “Let’s just go buy a gun on a credit card, and then pay that credit card off with another credit card.” – Miles Marquez

Happy February. Doesn’t it feel like New Year’s was two days ago? Oh, did you see the seventy-percent chance of snow for the weekend forecast? Yeah man.

In light of our just slightly-below-freezing but enhanced by wind-chill temperature, along with the impending snow showers, what better way to celebrate than a Hawaiian themed skate clip that was filmed when it was at least eighty-degrees outside?

Put together by Justin White, featuring Scotty Moore, Taji Ameen, Brendan Grandstrand, Negative, Luke Malaney, Jersey Dave, Eby, Jeremy Scott, Mr. Wilson, Isak Buan anddddd.. Justin White.

Chain shining hard, it just gave my neck a tan. It has been over a year, and that song still hasn’t got old.

Merry Christmas

Usually, I start these things some time around the 20th or 21st of December and see how I like them over the next couple of days before Christmas. This time around, I started about 2 hours before midnight on Christmas. So, a lot of hours in FCP, a few dozen cross dissolves, and three or four coffees later, this is what I came up with.

Its a typical QS December 25th / End of the year mood piece with pianos and shit. Handycams, flip cams and some three-chips here and there. Dusty and dirty lenses and bad filming on my part included of course.

You know the drill — part one is the homies, part two is the roster. It is the fifth year anniversary of QS Christmas clips and I think next year is bound for a full-scale Weiss comeback to his former 2005 glory. Hopefully they re-model Lincoln Center with something that he can kickflip nose manual this time next year.

Features: Adrian Vega, some Boston dudes, German Nieves, Allen Siegler, Ian from Union, Dennis Feliciano, Keith Denley, Jersey Dave, the Gothic Raver, Alex, Shawn Powers, Staten Island Adrian, Tohmi Shiroyama, Ty Lyons, Aaron Szott, Danny Weiss blowing it as usual, Isak Buan, Francesco Pini, Taji Ameen, Kevin Teirney, Ian Reid, Pad Dowd, Galen Dekemper, Miles Marquez, Thando Beschta, Benjamin Nazario, Matthew Mooney, Vladimir Kirilenko, DJ Roctakon.

Thanks to everyone who contributed footage: Justin White, Jimmy Marketti, David Spodofora, Dennis Feliciano, JP Blair, Anthony Beckner, Alex Rialdi, Pad Dowd, Joe Cups.

There is an alternate edit of this that was unfortunately suppressed by the Quartersnacks Board of Trustees as it was declared too racist and ignorant for public disclosure. While I still feel that is not the case, it is better to keep it buried in a folder of random edits to ensure that nobody gets offended.
