Daily News January 17th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 2

This is the most 2000s ass week in 2020s skateboarding ever: You got vertical shuv-it reverts, Bastien Salabanzi in a Lakai reboot video, nollie flip crooked grinds at MACBA [also in a week in which Lordz alumn Flo Marfaing did a MACBA banger], and the dude with the best part in 2003’s Cash Money Vagrant video ollieing Wallenburg after spending a half century on earth.

Otherwise, slow week at the QS office. Back on it next week 4sure.

If you’re free tomorrow night, John Clodelfter & co. have a new one premiering in Brooklyn.

Rest in Peace David Lynch 🐐

Our buddy Lui Elliott’s family lost their home in the tragic fires currently happening in Southern California. Please donate if you have the means to help them out. ❤️

The best bits of skate content from the past week are Peter Sidlauskas’ dives into skate spot lore of yesteryear, specifically spots that have fallen into the ashes of time via redevelopment: L train roof bank, the Wythe Street ledge, and of course, the Autumn Bowl.

The youngs rip, man. “Looking To Be” is a ten-minute video by Chris Argueta featuring the new gen stacking in New York. All NY clips, with Three Up Three Down continuing to endure as New York’s greatest skate spot, generation after generation.

Was about to be a pretty slow week until Pocket dropped one hell of a Brazilian video late morning yesterday.

Also wasn’t sure whether to treat Shanahan’s clip as an intro or an actual clip, but given the current realities of the weather in New York, it felt pretty reflective of what skateboarding outside is right now.

Sending love to all our family in Southern California 💔 💔

It’s Nice To Have An Ender — An Interview With Tyler Surrey

Features & Interviews January 8th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 8

While we have been fans of Sk8mafia since forever — as evidenced by a decade-plus of Quote of the Week installments — QS is likely not the first news source you would go to for an interview with one of San Diego’s brightest sons. But we have been Tyler Surrey fans for a long time, admiring the dude’s ability to drop video parts that feel wholly complete and thought-through, without a moment ever feeling it’s its veering into a footage dump.

Tyler’s Indy part from late last year was a QS office favorite, so we got him on the line to discuss life as a working skateboarder, evolving your eye with age, and what’s good with living in Barcelona circa 2024, er …2025.

Let’s get through the remaining year-end stuff and not talk about it ever again: 1) Adjacency Bias dropped their top five 2024 videos from the Pacific Northwest skate scene. 2) Simple Magic assesses an array of very specific 2024 skateboarding predictions that were made a year ago, now that the year closed out. 3) Boil the Ocean’s #1 part of 2024 didn’t make the QS Readers Poll top 20, but it definitely should have.

Andrew Miami videographer Zoogie dropped a six-minute New Year’s edit featuring Sully Cardenas, Stafhon Boca, Coles Bailey, Elijah Odom and many more familiar faces. Gabe’s noseslide at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store might legit be the second or third clip anyone has ever got there on account of the security.
