We held a staff meeting to see if it was reasonable to give the same guy who backside flipped an insane gap in April a second #1 for backside big spinning the same gap five months later. The meeting lasted ten seconds after a chorus of yes.
There have been too many enders and covers at #1 lately, but in case you haven’t caught them yet, check Koston Eaton’s part in Cage Cocalis’ THIEF OF JOY (the skaters’ names in that video are incredible) + the closer in Augusto Akio’s “Ambiguous” part. All reasonable top billing.
And yes, Thursday’s releases were deferred until next week.
Have a good one ❤️ QS will return on Tuesday, September 8 after the Labor Day holiday.
