“In 2021, Joey O’Brien won by 28 points. In 2020, Tom Knox won by a whopping 534 points. The inverse is true with full lengths. In 2020, Cons’ Seize the Seconds video won by just 18 points over FA’s Dancing On Thin Ice. In 2021, The Reuben won by a sizable 174 points.” 4Ply Mag, the official statisticians behind the QS Readers Poll, wrote a deep-dive on the methodology and breakdown of how the votes got tallied 📊
“Catania? I’m from Catania.” The Traffic Skateboards team went out to the east side of Sicily this past fall, only to learn that there was a hurricane headed their way. Luke got footage, Keith did not, Paul Young on the beat. Worth going back, tbh.

“Nobody can do it for a dollar a slice anymore.” The New York Times has a piece about how the dollar slice is facing extinction due to the pandemic.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: It’s honestly sometimes a big reach not giving these to Steph, because, like, who comes here to see Warriors highlights? But there are occasions when it’s what in the actual fuck, and it’s like, “Yeah, we can give Steph Curry play of the week on a skateboard website.”
