Look, we wouldn’t begin a Monday Links post with a link to a “Mask Off” challenge unless it was really worth it. Now enjoy the rest of your glorious day ♥
The internet is a fucking insane place, man.
“We went to Gay Ledges, then Washington Square, then we started skating a book near NYU.” Skating a book propped against a curb = the state of skate spots in New York, planet earth, the year two thousand seventeen.
An Easter-best Conor Prunty — who’s a week away from celebrating the one-year anniversary of “422” — astutely skating a parking block, via Max Hull.
Not sure if him and the Vert God ever made amends, but Taylor Nawrocki’s part from Politic’s First Division video is now online. The Columbus Circle line with the cruise against three lanes of traffic was rad, and in the nineties tradition of going out of your way to end a line off with a flatground trick.
“In New York everybody seems like they have shit that they have to be doing all the time. And when winter hits, you better have shit to do. Otherwise it’s too much to deal with.” Solo has an interview with prodigal Jersey boys, Josh Wilson and Dick Rizzo.
Mini Nik Stain part at the ~11 minute mark of YMPT3.
Though they typically make the best videos out, this one isn’t my favorite bit of recent Isle videography (it’s a bit too artsy, even for Isle, to fully get hyped off of). Their section from TWS’ Cinematographer Project: World View video is now online.
Feels like there hasn’t been footage from the Seagram Building ledge this decade.
“Name literally anyone who currently rides for Theeve Trucks.”
Chops compiled all the one movie / one book / one album entires in his Instagram-only side series for Chromeball.
New part from Max Van Arnem, who Jake Johnson once said is his favorite skater.
Pat O’Dell’s feature-length documentary, Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine, will be screened as a part of Tribeca Film Festival later this month, but those outside of New York now have a Hulu release date in early June to look forward to.
2017 is full of surprises — even pleasant ones! Just when we were getting worried he stopped going in, perennial QS-office fave and composer of modern times’ finest love song, Rich Homie Quan, dropped a really, really good album last week. (Zillion dollar idea: Lock Quan and Thug in a room, force them to become friends again, give them all the instrumentals from Carti’s new album, boom, world peace.)
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: Stoked to see John Wall out there leading and thriving more each postseason, galaxies removed from the McGee/Nick Young/Arenas era Wizards, who were admittedly the funniest basketball team of this generation.
Quote of the Week: “I really wish you punched someone on this trip.” — Charles Rivard to Zach Baker
regarding the comment about the transworld video: What do you think of the last 2 videos they put out? In particular the crazy close jerky fish-eye? For me it almost makes them unwatchable……….. just wanted to get someone elses take on this, because I’ve always loved their videos until substance and riddles in mathematics.
How can Snacks skateboarding taste be so exquisite and rap taste be so trash.
@LOO-Ganida above me, I hate that style of filming too.
