(Interesting to hear that this bank is still around, only “hidden.” Quim should return for a 2011 Thrasher photo opportunity. After all, it’s John Cardiel’s favorite magazine cover, so they’d have to oblige and run a 2011 version just off general principle.)
Colin from Mandible Claw put together a three part “Slap Pals” video interview with Quartersnacks favorite, Quim Cardona. So far, only one part is up. Filmed at the building standing in place of the parking lot / 40 oz. bottle depository across from the Cube, the current installment deals with the frequently mythologized Astor Place to Midtown skate, the story behind the November 1995 Thrasher cover, Non-Fiction era San Francisco versus Non-Fiction era New York, and who Quim believes the best skater from New Jersey is. There’s no reason anyone but the Toxic Avenger should ever be discussed for that title — in fact, he should be the governor of New Jersey once Chris Christie spontaneously combusts.
Part 2 is supposed to go live today. Part two here.
