Slow Month

Daily News August 31st, 2026 · 12:00 am

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.

#QSTOP10 — August 28, 2026

Daily News August 28th, 2026 · 12:00 am · 1

To the fella who left the Occam’s Razor comment on last week’s Top 10: here’s to one more. There is no planet where that trick isn’t #1, even if it’s another 5050, even 2x weeks in a row. Even if it’s the ender to one of the premier videos to release this week…

Full Disclosure: In anticipation of Toronto, this one was locked in a bit earlier than usual this week, especially after the rebooted Etnies video dominated conversation throughout the hallways of QS HQ. (What a sentence to write in 2026! Shout out Matt King.) Deferred Mr. Rowean’s Free part, Mr. Apse’s Lithuania video, et al. until next week.

See everyone at Bunt Jam tomorrow 🏀 Have a good one.

Downtime With Rowan Zorilla

Video August 26th, 2026 · 12:00 am · 1

🎬 + 📝 Video & Words by Adam Abada

Skaters have an interesting way of considering time. Spots and tricks come and go, never to be thought of again, but certain fleeting, life-affirming moments captured on video get imbued in amber and entire generations of a scene revolve around them. Meanwhile, lifecycles of content, personalities, and products live and die in a matter of months. Way back in 2023 – one of those lifetimes in the skateboard landscape – we covered the baseball game release party of Rowan’s last shoe. We spoke with Rowan about a few topics including the tricks he did on his favorite double-set, considering the video a sort of mini “Favorite Spot,” with plans to do something longer form with him in the future.

Blink and it’s been three years since. A lot has changed – with skateboarding, the world, and Rowan.

Clips Regardless

Daily News August 24th, 2026 · 12:00 am

Naquan Rollings posted up a four-minute dispatch from Tompkins this summer. Some Nikolai wizardry on the ledge, some psycho John Dilo mannys, and naturally, a giant NYCShawn tre.

Suciu, Cooper Qua, Nicole Hause and Jiro all skated a bunch of New York staples in a new Thunder Trucks four days in New York edit. It’s insane that after probably hours-worth of Suciu parts, he can still make you say “wtf” out loud at the screen. That 180 into the brick bank just outside the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge is insane. Same one from the crazy Alan Bell slam. (“Bro, that slam fucking sucked.”)
