Time For The Real Sports

There comes a time in every skate tank’s life where it ceases to merely get you TO the spot, and it …becomes the spot. The rubicon has been crossed.

Dime x Quartersnacks available now ⬅️

“Chris Joslin never did no shit like this.” Jamal Smith is back in front of the camera, mic’d up at the skatepark …in the snow. Can’t wait for episode two.

“Return of the Genius” is a new eight-minute edit by Carlo Campos of the Genius crew. It is a beautiful inferno of absolutely insane manny combos, all filmed in New York. Anyone confused by the madness within should find solace in the ancient proverb: the chaos of the youth’s manual tricks is reflective of the world they have inherited from their elders. (Should’ve been it’s own post, but last week was a hectic backend one at the office 😵‍💫)

Alexis Lacroix having an allotment of ohhhhh yeaaaaahhhh’s in Dime videos is very funny.

Master lensman Quentin Guthrie put together an incredible eight-mintue shared part between Davide Holzknecht and Charlie Munro for NB#. Lots of New York clips, including a fat fakie flip down Tekashi Ten. Seems like they went all over the entire planet for this one.

Some wild tech dismounts in the Financial District are nestled towards the end of Max Williams’ “One Way Ticket” part for 303 Boards.

The Melodi crew posted up an edit from the Vans park. Lots of backflips.

“Hey! You been eating my Frosted Flakes?” Ian Browning wrote some fiction for Skate Jawn.

Erik Herrera with an unlikely flip-out on the wall rail on 57th via his new part for Venture Trucks.

Shawn Powers has a new, all-London part for Palace.

“Demons beaten back, old powers intact, for sure, but more than all of that, the photo carries a kind of comforting assurance that you could scissors out the silhouette and and paste it onto a blank piece of paper and it would remain instantly recognizable, those arms slung loosely at the sides.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Antwuan’s Thrasher cover, and the iconic arms that have been swung in videos since the BHADW peak years of Mr. Dixon.

The city is starting early on some much-needed bike lane upgrades surrounding Prospect Park, but be careful with the construction if you live out that way baby ❤️

Spot Updates 📍 — The mulch patch at the Banks is slowly being reduced into the mulch patch of history. Still hearing this spring for an opening FWIW.

XXL Loosies Corner 🚬 — Twenty three minutes of Kader loosies, 3:20 from Nico Jones + Cruise Mosberg, three minutes from Palace’s Manor Place Park in London, and a collection of Antwuan Dixon loosies.

QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Alex Caruso blocks a shot with his shoe, then proceeds to get a tech and the FGA declared a goal-tend.

Quote of the Week 🗣 “Fuck, I missed Swampfest again.” — Ben Blundell
