Thank you to everyone who grabbed some of the Krooked x QS stuff from our webstore. It was a hectic week, but we should have everything shipped by today/tomorrow. If you don’t get a shipping confirmation by Tuesday-ish, hit us. We’re out of Snackman boards, but got a few of everything else left. Check your shop for the cruiser ❤️

Jiro, Pero, Suciu and the rest of the Habitat team star in a New York edit before cutting to a new Kaue Cossa part that’s also mostly New York-based. That Sombrero trick was insane.
Every skate crew should be required to make a “Mafia Business” edit every year. Autumnal Copenhagen montage from the Dancer crew starring Hjalte, David Stenstrom, J-Skrods and more. For a city whose good skate-weather months can be counted on one hand, they really do make the most out of it and look so fun in the process.
Skateboarding greatest animations via Jenkem.
Simple Magic tried their best to summarize the insanity that was the past ~twoish weeks of skate media. And yes, the Eetu part dropped probably .1 seconds after they published that.
Skate Bylines is holding a survey for those who work in skate media, which “aims to account for the experiences of writers, photographers, videographers, artists and individuals of other creative professions, whose output is contributes to journalistic coverage of skateboarding.”
Our friend Joel Meinholz is the latest guest on the Beyond Boards podcast + our other friend Quinn Batley curates the latest Jenkem Mix.
Whether grainy film or luminous HD, it really is the best skate spot ever.
New route unlocked at Maspeth Ledges.
Spot Updates 📍 — They’re beginning to demolish the triple three-stair zone of Battery Park City. Feels kinda unnecessary? All those years chasing us out of there to just scrap all that granite. Nice work guys :/
Loosies Corner 🚬 — Two minutes of Ryan Lay loosies + a quick bit of Jaakko.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — It was Jokic’s week, but Wemby on the inbound over Draymond, obviously. Warriors took it in dramatic, Curry-ian fashion though.
Quote of the Week 🗣 “Drinking water is a chore.” — Ben Blundell
Spent the past two weeks coming to terms with the fact that one of the most-listened to songs at the QS Office this year is a pirate remix of a 2018 Carti song. Fending off the scurvy with a strong lime, yarrr.
