Boil the Ocean’s piece on Revolutions on Granite — the Ukrainian skate scene documentary that went live on Thrasher earlier this month — sums up the power of those 40 minutes in a way that every skateboard writer wishes they could.

QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Something about Dinwiddie’s game-winner over the Nets felt like it was the type of shot that teams reserve for Knicks meltdowns.

Man that King Louie track was the wildest trip down memory lane

I don’t actually believe that would hinder Snackman, butbthe whole situation ended with a fizzle anyway.
Must everyone choose sides besides Dylan wannabe 1 and Dylan wannabe 2?
