Richmond Legend Will Marshall

GOODNIGHT IRENE is the new video from Dais Skate Co., and it might be the widest net of local spots maybe ever? Oh, going to The Bronx is deep for you this weekend? These dudes skate every single borough, upstate, Long Island, Jersey, Connecticut, Philly — literally everywhere. The filmer’s spotbook has gotta be crazy.

Of all the things QS has been a part of, being able to facilitate a bit of seed money to the D.I.Y. plaza next to the Trinity Repertory Theater in downtown Providence, Rhode Island (back in the days when Levi’s had a formal skate program and was putting $ toward’s D.I.Y’s) has to be the top of the list. Here are the renderings for what the latest expansion will be. Wow.

Richmond Report — Venue Skateshop’s “To The Bone” Video

The full-length shop video is the purest undertaking in skateboarding. Having been in operation under various names since 1994, Richmond’s Venue Skateshop is thus one of the most O.G. shops in the country (is FTC the oldest?), and has at its disposal a wellspring of lore to tap into.

From the intergenerational opening shared part between shop owner Maury Blankinship and his son, to the farewell to the 50-year-old Richmond Coliseum currently slated for demolition and co-opted into D.I.Y. usage by the city’s skaters, to appearances from the greater Bust Crew and Quasi-verse that have helped Richmond become a globally recognizable skate scene — there is plenty to smile at in this 34-minute labor of love. (Though you’ll be a lil’ disappointed a certain somebody’s part gets intro’d and then …yeah, you’ll know when you see it. Hopefully a teaser for something otw though.)

#QSTOP10 — September 11, 2026

You really gotta admire the commitment to the bit that he fully cleaned up the one he did at first for what sits at #1 this week. Otherwise, we got tricks on wood slats, slides down curved bricks, and a multi-sport line at the Marcy benches.

And to anyone else who went “oh my ribs” at the intro: he was confirmed ok by the submitter.

Our friends at Skate Jawn are hosting an issue #93 release party at the Long Island City D.I.Y. tomorrow. Flyer here.

Three Years Since ‘PIECED’ — Tanner Diamond’s ‘VANESSA’ Video

Tanner Diamond — a favorite videographer in the corridors of the QS office — has a new edit out. It has somehow been over three years since his last one, spring 2023’s “PIECED.” That is enough time for us to have gotten sad about Coles moving away from New York, and to be happy about Coles moving back to New York. (Some of that footy feels like it may even be from before the first one even happened.) If there is one person we have as high regard for in the office as Lucas Puig, it’s Coles Bailey, so there’s naturally one person who should be skating to “West End Girls” again ten years later ❤️

A Look At ‘9/12’ — Mike O’Meally’s Book Of Photos Shot In New York The Day After 9/11

📝 Words by Adam Abada

When thinking of some of the most iconic skate photos of the 2000s, it doesn’t take long to come up with an image by Mike O’Meally. O’Meally has yet to do a big glossy retrospective book encompassing his work, but in going through his archives, he had a different idea. After a 2018 photo show of symbolic imagery from his skate travels – where O’Meally donated profits to the FDNY’s Fire Family Transport Foundation – he decided he wanted to give back more to New York City, a place that helped grow his career and connection to the skate world. Mike had shot six rolls on September 12th, 2001 and thought there might be something there.
