This is the most 2000s ass week in 2020s skateboarding ever: You got vertical shuv-it reverts, Bastien Salabanzi in a Lakai reboot video, nollie flip crooked grinds at MACBA [also in a week in which Lordz alumn Flo Marfaing did a MACBA banger], and the dude with the best part in 2003’s Cash Money Vagrant video ollieing Wallenburg after spending a half century on earth.
Otherwise, slow week at the QS office. Back on it next week 4sure.
If you’re free tomorrow night, John Clodelfter & co. have a new one premiering in Brooklyn.
Rest in Peace David Lynch 🐐

Not getting the “vertical” part of the pop shove revert…
“Having a good vertical” means possessing a high vertical jump, indicating a strong ability to jump upwards with significant height, often used in sports like basketball where explosive power in the legs is crucial to perform dunks and reach higher for rebounds; a good vertical jump for most people is considered to be around 18-20 inches, depending on age and athletic ability.
