Yoooo… calling this edit from David Mauvais and his crew a “footy dump” is crazy. The front board body varial bigspin thing in The Bronx, the ollie off the manny pad at Seventh and Greenwich, the switch tre lip, wow. All New York x New Jersey x Philly clips.
“Floorspace” is a very sick upstate New York edit from Martin Wilson. Great filming, cutty spots, fast skating, timeless vibes.
Our buddy Mike Nucero helped on this Intense Energy: The Sounds of Skateboarding documentary, which explores “the intersection of skateboarding and underground music.” They’re holding an event for it at the Vans Space on November 21 @ 7. Eventbrite for more info.
“I never technically ‘moved’ here, I just stayed. That was 19 years ago.” New Yorker ;) John Igei is the latest subject to get the Chromeball interview treatment.
“Obviously there have been times where I had to dip in and dip out, but it always sucks, and it’s never my favourite footage because there’s no story behind it. There’s no vibe to it; it’s just a trick at a spot.” Slam City Skates has a mega Josh Kalis interview. Great plane read …provided your flight doesn’t get cancelled.
“The hill is gargantuan. It is also in disrepair. Fiene details the work that went into making Eldred skateable, but even with the most egregious cracks filled, one has to take a straight shot down the hill. Drifting to the left or right spells disaster.” Simple Magic wrote about Kevin Baekkel’s ender in the Creature video + Boil the Ocean wrote about Kevin Baekkel’s drop-in on the airport runway. There’s a dimension where Baekkel is a shoo-in for S.O.T.Y. with that part.
NB# shared the raw files from Westgate’s Intervals part. That roof ollie continues to amaze.
🔴 Stuff from Free — Patrick “Rocco” Rogalski does a dope #wrongway backside flip over the Battery Park rail, and has a few other New York clips in his “Bomba de Humo” part + a loose scattering of N.Y. footage in Night Kids, an office favorite video from the Finnish skate scene. Really need to put Finland on our travel list.
Spot Updates 📍 — The scaffold at Five Then Three is gone. Shout to Ross Cooper for the intel + ICYMI: they started work on bringing the Small Banks back to skateable condition.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Jokic wallied the ball off Sabonis’ head to Aaron Gordon for the finish.
Quote of the Week 🗣
Salomon Cardenas: “How was the contest?”
Event Attendee: “A frontside flip every five minutes.”
Salomon Cardenas: “Oh, like YouTube Shorts.”
Rest in Peace to Young Bleed. The Martorialist said it better than we ever could: “R.I.P to the funkadelic, psychedelic reinterpretation of the third kind. Bleed was Louisiana’s foremost exponent of Country-Rap Swamp-Blues choonz who was still putting out good music in 2025. The great thing about Bleed is how effortless his stream-of-consciousness flow sounded even though his writing was intricately honed to perfection.”

is there a qs edit to “where do i go” or did i imagine it. its definitely old if yes. i swear its real.
