#QSTOP10 — September 4, 2026

Daily News September 4th, 2026 · 12:00 am

We held a staff meeting to see if it was reasonable to give the same guy who backside flipped an insane gap in April a second #1 for backside big spinning the same gap five months later. The meeting lasted ten seconds after a chorus of yes.

There have been too many enders and covers at #1 lately, but in case you haven’t caught them yet, check Koston Eaton’s part in Cage Cocalis’ THIEF OF JOY (the skaters’ names in that video are incredible) + the closer in Augusto Akio’s “Ambiguous” part. All reasonable top billing.

Have a good one ❤️ QS will return on Tuesday, September 8 after the Labor Day holiday.

Will See Hard Mix 2026

Video September 3rd, 2026 · 11:00 am

We have always enjoyed Will See‘s appearances in various homie edits that have popped up in the past few years, and today, we’re happy to present a full Will See part by Kyle G., who you may most recently remember as the architect behind “for the coach.” The part is full of cutty New York lumps, Loreth-ian bank spots, and a switch frontside plot twist at the end ;)

Filmed and edited by Kyle G. Sick painting at the end by Ethan Mckeague.

Farewell Stuyvesant High Rail, On Its Way To Ride-On Heaven

Daily News September 2nd, 2026 · 7:05 pm

Maybe this is an overly New York-centric opinion — or maybe it doesn’t matter because the following statement is so fucking stupid — but it is possible that the ride-on rail behind Stuyvesant High School in Battery Park is the most consequential ride-on rail in history.

In paying homage to Alien Workshop’s heritage by switch 5050ing the rail that Lennie Kink had grinded across in the nineties (Jerry Fisher grinded it in EE3, too), Jake Johnson ignited a road to acceptance for ride-on grinds in pro skateboarding videography. They had existed before as a mere novelty, but Jake’s Mind Field part rustled awake the world’s third eye towards their possibilities, just as it had for other much-discussed facets of post-Jake-in-Mind–Field skateboarding. Ride-on grinds have been everywhere in the ~15-plus years since.

And now, it’s gone. Or at least slated to be any day now as part of a wave of climate resiliency renovations alongside many waterfront parks in Lower Manhattan. Those token ride-on grind deniers in the comments of any modern video can rejoice: their original enemy has been vanquished. But a million clones have, and will continue to follow in its wake.

Spoiler Alert — The 2026 Bunt Jam Presented By Vans

Daily News September 2nd, 2026 · 3:55 pm · 3

“Who are you going for?”

Perhaps a silly question to ask at the fourth edition of a three-on-three basketball tournament between skateboarders, but sports are more interesting when there are emotions involved.

In past Bunt Jams, we had a rooting interest. We went for the scrappy upstart Andrew team in 2023, and cheered for their revamped roster to unseat the two-time defending champion Bunt team in 2024, which they did.

But since June 13th, 2026, when the Knicks ended their 53-year title drought, it has been tough to have any emotions tied to sports whatsoever. The weight has been lifted, and we learned that relief is the purest form of bliss. I keep reminding people: the Knicks can miss the playoffs next year, and I will not care. It is absolute nirvana. With that in mind, it was tougher to weave emotions into the 2026 Bunt Jam, so what follows is absolute objectivity ;)

Slow Month

Griffin’s Skate Video is a 34-minute New York video from the same young crew that brought you the “Return of the Genius” edit from the spring, beautifully filmed on a potato. [And/or maybe a Y2K-era digi cam?] It is a blend of the lovingly absurd (e.g. drop-in’s off U-Haul trucks, whatever 1:35 is) and some incredible skating (that 5050 then wallride line at 135th and Riverside!) And if you’re the old-man-yells-at-cloud type (“I don’t get it! Is it …ironic?!”), please do remember that DLX was doing the same exact goddamn thing twenty years ago ;)

Tristan Rowean dropped a new part for Free by Neema Joorabchi. Heavy on the New York clips, and your legs will feel tired just watching the second-to-last Fort Greene trick. Paine Webber no-push ollie was insane, too.
