Catalytic converter thefts are down, shark sightings in Rockaway are up, word is that the watermelon slush spot across from Labor is turning into a wraparound French restaurant 😒, and Antonio is switch flipping the Banks rail for the timeline — that’s ~~Hollywood~~ New York babyyyyyyyyy!

“Sometimes I go overboard and end up with too many spots to choose from. Last summer, I had so many spots saved that I got overwhelmed. It was stressing me out trying to figure out which one to focus on.” Nik Stain gave a #longform interview (first ever?) to Jared Sherbert for Thrasher on account of the new Hockey video.

“Street are popping. Somebody is playing the trumpet. This is Queens.” Elisa Martini skates Flushing and supports her local in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature. Someone’s really gotta hit Queens Night Market for one of these.

Bit of a bye week over here at QS in light of — summer and stuff.

Hockey video is absolutely insane. The best one they’ve ever made, by far. Obviously not going to include that because it has been out for ~12 hours?

Otherwise, it’s Tim Savage and Boston week on the countdown.

The #1 is a 900.

Have a good one.

Quartersnacks Will Be Replacing Anna Wintour At Vogue, Effective Immediately

That Condé Nast expense account been hitting this week 🍾🦪

Peter Sidlauskas eulogized the Brooklyn Banks Burger King at 55 Fulton Street — perhaps the most notorious fast-food establishment in New York skate history. They should restore it as phase four of the Banks after the Small Banks.

While Ted and Thrasher work on a “This Old Ledge” about the Banks Burger King, they dropped their Flushing episode to hold you over. James Reres shoutout was important. Kinda feel compelled to remind everyone that Rob Gonyon backside flipped the six and Antonio switch frontside flipped it 12+ years ago. Also liked Skateboarder‘s “15 Things You Didn’t Know About Flushing” thing so much that it’s the header photo for it on the spot page.

An Instant NJ Classic — Matty Hilzenrath’s ‘A 20 Of Regular’ Video

It is easy to imagine the title of this video uttered from a driver’s window to a gas station attendant. Twenty bucks can get you a lot of places in the only state where the law requires someone to pump your gas for you. In A 20 of Regular, the ground covered situates it in the echelon of great New Jersey videos. Its textures and rhythm call to mind great independent videos like the Grains series and Rust Belt Trap, but features enough of its creator Matty Hilzenrath’s personal touches to herald a skate videographer coming into his own. The 40-minute video lives and breathes its crusty spots, with extended time given to run-ups, landings, and the in-betweens of filming.

Tre flip form three out of four positions, mountainous double-kinks, mountainous banks, aquatic 5050s, and literally gasped on the way that broken tile moved on #10. Terrifying.

(To anyone being like, “Why isn’t the Townley ender in it?” — Neither him nor his board sponsor nor Thrasher et al. posted it as of press time. Felt it was better to save the surprise. Also, we don’t usually ~feel~ things from kinked rail boardslides, but something about this one did it.)

Have a good one.
