Some skaters go to Russia, some go to Chicago, and some just stay at T.F.
Have a good weekend ♥
Best Trick For a Louie Belt Recap
Illustration by Charles Rivard
It is a scientifically proven fact that you come back from a skate trip 38% stupider than when you left. And out of all the stupid things that we have brought home from a skate trip, a year-late / ironic / moronic (…I truly don’t know anymore) infatuation with “Sicko Mode” has to be among the stupidest souvenirs that we have ever given our loved ones upon return.

The only constant is change, and while we were off in Philly skating the physical embodiment of a Brother Merle illustration, the QS tip line was buzzing with spot changes around the city.

Our office of M.I.T. statisticians is busy tallying up the entries each day — so be sure to vote in our Readers Survey about the best parts and videos of the 2010s. Voting ends next Wednesday.
Sometimes the full-length videos on Thrasher get overlooked when you’re not willing to commit to a 40-minute viewing with your morning coffee (…and then you forget about them because ten new things have come out by the next time you look), but you should REALLY watch Deep Fried’s Undercooked video if you have yet to do so. It’s mainly in S.F, but has a solid bit of New York footage, in which they somehow managed to skate those black marble ledges in Times Square A LOT. You’ll recognize tons of faces from GX videos, but Deep Fried is obvs a bit of a different vibe than those projects. And that first dude (Dustin Partridge) has one of the best feel-good parts of 2019.

#QSTOP10 — October 11, 2019
If the kickflip Oscars happened today…
Also, Philadelphia! We’re going to be down there this weekend for House of Vans, and throwing a best trick contest for a Louie belt. Saturday night (October 12) from 7 – 9 P.M. Gonna just be doing cash for tricks too, but the person who looks like they deserve to drip the most will get the belt ♥ Flyer with all the info here.
