We Blowing Up To the Moon, Shout Out To the Goons

December 19th, 2011 | 9:02 am | Daily News | 4 Comments

Christmas = The only time you can skate the Seagram Building. Go for it.

How was your weekend? Did you see anyone wearing JNCOs?

This is a great news. Big congratulations to Rob Campbell and best wishes for his future role as the director of skateboarding for Open Road.

Joseph Delgado’s part from the Poisonous Products video is now on YouTube. All lines, and some Lil’ Kim on the soundtrack. Good to see Queens locals still skating actual Flushing and not just the Maloof Park. (While on the topic: has anyone skated to “Drugs” before? It’s easy to forget that Lil’ Kim somehow ended up getting one of the greatest rap beats of all time. These dudes did it way more justice though.)

Here is a teaser for Shark Shit, a (very) low-def video featuring Loose Trucks Max and the rest of the Brooklyn homies.

Stupid Slap Message Board Thread #588,684,693: “Most hipster skate parts?” Humorously enough, they post Brett Nelson’s Rich Mahogany part, then go on to say Brett Land’s part is more “hipster”-ish. Then, the topic diverges into how Cardiel’s Sight Unseen part isn’t as good as everyone says it is…

If you ever skate Tompkins, you’ll recognize a handful of people with parts in this 21-minute iPhone video from John Kim.

The goal of QS is to eventually transition from a skateboard website into a chain of strip club skateparks throughout the south. We have fifty-page business plans and everything, but it looks like DGK’s “Playground” park beat us to it. Back to square one.

In the spirit of the season, check out our post from last year about Jahmal Williams’ loosely Christmas-related video part from the early 2000s.

Spot Updates: 1) You may have noticed that some bandits cut off the rail at FedEx a few weeks ago. Well, it’s back. 2) Similar story…some bandits unknobbed the Dag 10-stair ledge, a tree fell on it, scaffolding blocked it off, and now it’s knobbed again. 3) There’s a food truck at Lenox now. Interesting that it takes a food truck to exemplify how oblivious people are to getting in the way of skateboard-related pursuits.

Quote of the Week
Observant Gentleman: “Everyone gets fired from that delivery job at Delicatessen, what makes you think you’ll last there?”
Shawn Powers: “Because I be that pretty motherfucker, Delicatessen’s what I’m repping. Tell my niggas quit the bitching, Imma deliver their food in a second.”


TM103 drops tomorrow. It actually exceeded expectations, which weren’t that high. “Ballin’” and the Neyo song are pure garbage though.

“Dropped one album, set the world on fire:” Skate Parts & The Inspiration

December 12th, 2011 | 2:57 pm | Daily News | 6 Comments

Honoring five years since the release of The Inspiration, the 2nd most motivational rap record to be released throughout Quartersnacks’ lifespan, here are some skate parts edited to songs off it.

How has no one skated to “3 A.M.” yet?

Shut Down Champs, Did the Fool in Prada

December 12th, 2011 | 9:24 am | Daily News | 5 Comments

Today marks exactly five years since the release of The Inspiration, which is the second most important motivational masterpiece to come out during this website’s existence (first here.) In honor of this sacred date, above is the limited edition 1-of-10 Quartersnacks x The Inspiration custom griptape sheet. On a side note, the mixtape prelude to this album, had some serious bangers that QS will happily cut a thousand-dollar check for, provided they are CDQ versions without DJ Drama yelling nonsense all over them. If only Jeezy still made music like this…

Apparently, the school/park has began removing the “real” ledges from 12th & A, and threw out all the portable obstacles. One less place to skate during the day without getting kicked out. Great. R.I.P. 12th & A.

The Flipmode production house released a short, purple-tinged b-sides clip featuring their standard roster. Kids seem to really like Spaceghostpurp and lean references these days, huh.

If you started skateboarding around the time Photosynthesis came out, you’ve maybe wondered what happened to Pat Corcoran. Well, he dropped by a recent Chrome Ball post dedicated to him, and set the record and rumor-mongering straight with a detailed, yet completely punctuation-less comment.

Skateboard filmers who take themselves serious enough to make memes about filmer faux pas are probably the worst thing about skateboarding. We mix SD & HD, stretch SD, and chop it up to Rihanna & 2 Chainz, all in one clip.

The crew over at Seasons Skateshop in Albany uploaded a clip from deep in the archive of some of our homies. Wonderful soundtrack choice, and the only place online you’re going to see Ben Baptiste do a kickflip backside tailslide.

Strobeck clips tend to get re-blogged heavy, but in case you missed it, a remix of some older ones from the mid-to-late 2000s went up on YouTube yesterday.

Quote of the Week
Observant Gentleman: “Yeah, 2008 was a good summer.”
Alexander Mosley: “Of course it was a good summer, every summer is a good summer. You never hear anyone say ‘Yeah, that was a good winter.’”

103

The tracklisting to TM103 from the man himself.

Unlike past releases, expectations aren’t as high, due to the whole “Rick Ross bit my style when he came out, but now he’s more successful, so I’ll just do what he’s doing” dynamic, and these awful Faux Luger beats that just won’t go away…

Happy Belated Thug Motivation 101 Day

July 27th, 2011 | 9:17 pm | Daily News | 4 Comments

The Quartersnacks company calendar has four important dates: The start of summer, the end of summer, Christmas, and July 26th. Unfortunately, we were not able to devise a timely post yesterday to acknowledge this most sacred of holidays, as we were busy cramming in last minute Barcelona footage. Unlike most holidays, which call for leisurely time spent with family (even the inappropriately named “Labor” Day), July 26th is a day that coincides with motivation, focus, drive, and hard work. So what we lacked in posting, we more than made up for in the acquisition of footage, so Barcelona-based updates should resume tomorrow. And let’s not even begin to dwell on how wrong this sentiment is…

Below is Alexander Mosley’s part from the first Quartersnacks video, released in December of 2006, set to the song that may quite possibly be the main reason as to why this site exists.

It wouldn’t be right if we did not post the finest, local-bred video part set to an anthem from the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx of the trap (one of the few cases throughout the history of rap music where the otherwise overused word “anthem” could be aptly applied to every song.)
