Congrats to Mr. Nick Michel for winning the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup 🏆 and to everyone who came out on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to make this an annual event, so see everyone next year :) Full recap vid will go live later this week.
The Rent Is Too Damn High is a KCDC Skateshop video by Abi Teixeira, released in commemoration of the shop closing up its N 3rd Street location after having been a fixture in Williamsburg for two decades — long before the neighborhood was what you know it as today. Features a wide net of KCDC’s riders throughout the years. KCDC is continuing online operations as they look toward the future.
Labor’s Brooklyn location is having a big sale as they consolidate down to just the Manhattan location. Be sure to check their IG for abridged BK store hours before you make the trek though.
Maybe it’s the interview in the middle, but this has big 2000’s video magazine New York montage-vibes (yes, once upon a time, that was a rare thing for #skatemedia): PFP videographer Mike Sassano has a ten-minute New York montage over on the Transworld site with footage from Jeremy Murray, Matt Militano, Niels Bennett and more.
Cyrus Bennett chatted with the Lookback Library at Tompkins re: his 2013 Skate Jawn cover and 2017 Transworld cover.

“It sometimes seems like if there’s a bench or block in the world in the shape of a C, J, S or some other semi-circular letter, this dude has got a pin for it.” Boil the Ocean recounts how the backside noseblunt has recently overtaken the crooked grind as the trick to do on curved ledges, via the prism of Nikolai’s new part.
Mackenzie Eisenhower shared a video clip from the panel at the Museum of Moving Image’s opening night exhibit covering the history of skate videos.
Couple New York clips in Justin Sommer’s “FIELD” part that went live on Free last week.
Naturally, skaters were the first ones to realize that the “E” in “B.Q.E.” stands for Eden: it looks like there are going to be a whole lot of K Bridge-esque spaces popping up under the B.Q.E. in the coming years, as the city is actively renovating the lots underneath the roadway to be palatable to the public. (There’s already a weekend flea market where the main B.Q.E. D.I.Y. spot is/was.)
Solo Skate Mag has been reborn as Bubble Skate Mag.
In an age of Shopify, Squarespace, et al., Zachy Times just said fuck all that shit and threw the merch on an eBay store. Future tees available now.
