“I tell Bill all the time, ‘I don’t have that many video parts left in me.'” Farran Golding profiled Tyshawn Jones and Bill Strobeck for GQ.
We were out in Argentina last month, and were lucky enough to get shown around by Eze Martinez (Milton’s brother, yes.) He’s got an incredible section in the new Cons Argentina edit. There’s something extra fun in watching siblings who skate at absolute opposite ends of the skate spectrum excel in their respective corners at this high of a level. (No Milton footy in this video though.)
Attn: Everyone in the “oMg I h888 skItZ iN sK8 vIDe0z” camp — how else are we going to predict the future? Boil the Ocean goes in on skate video skits’ uncanny ability to predict the future through the prism of Girl’s “The Parallel” skit and a — yeah — pogo stick company’s 2022 Summer Trip to New York edit. You’re a liar if you don’t get stuck watching that thing, btw.
“I’m sure you saw Lebron James roll his ankle and be carried off by six of his teammates. You see a skater roll their ankle at the spot and ask if they’re alright. They’ll be testing out how bad it is, have a beer, and you’ll see them skating on it a week later.” The Slam City Skates blog has an extended interview with Wade Desarmo with some wise words about taking care of your body.
Louie Lopez says his pet peeve is when the cover is the ender, and says he tried, with the, yaknow ❤️ The latest installment of Village Psychic’s “Watching” series is with Lou and Ryan Lee.
An exemplary eye for spots, and the right things to do on them: Neil Herrick’s Veil part is live on Free.
Portland’s mainstay skateshop, Cal’s Pharmacy, just dropped a full-length video.
Hell of a closing part from Josh Dziadek in Frame, the latest video from Theory Skateshop out in Massachusetts. (QS dealer, btw!) That front blunt bank-to-ledge wizardry at the end was wild.
Wade Fyfe is the latest guest on The Bunt. Always thought it was classy how Wade dropped a “Last Part” and stuck to it.
How expensive is New York? $29 ham sandwich -expensive.
iPhone Loosies Corner 🚬 — Three minutes of Alan Bell loosies where practically every clip is a banger (that kickflip off the lump of asphalt over the chain on Allen Street is 🤯) + three minutes from Zak Anders.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Gotta be DeMar DeRozan’s daughter, right? And we maybe reached the point where the play-in tournament is more exciting than the first weekend of the playoffs…
Quote of the Week 🗣
Inquisitive Gentleman: “How’s that skatepark?”
E.T: “They all want to rob you, until they see you do a kickflip.”
