Late start today innit. All remaining QS hats in the webstore are $15 btw ♥
“When I don’t skate I get stoked when I skate.” Same.
The Parks Department sessions Central Park for All City Showdown. Comedy aside, there’s something admirable about filming an entire montage in a place well known for having next to nothing to skate. There are those three sets of three on a hill at the south entrance of the reservoir that would actually look great on film though…
Muckmouth’s rant on ETN — essentially Pay-Per-View for skating — is one of the funnier pieces of skateboard writing in recent memory, but the most quotable lines are a bit too risqué for the #SFW environment of a Monday QS post :)
The Tennyson Corp just keeps reelin’ in the hits. The latest is a mix of J.B. and Caesar Singh’s 411 footage. Is the fact that J.B. is European the only reason why he’s often forgotten on First Team Prodigious Nineties Street Skaters lists? Yes? Though so.
Kalis is one of the rare pros whose interviews always feel different and new, even though he’s covered the same tried and true subjects before. He’s got two out this week, both on the occasion of his first trip to London…one with Kingpin about a vindictive $117,000 tax bill from the city of Philadelphia, and another with Slam City Skates with some good bits about the homogenization of 360 flips.
Chima was a bit more unhinged than a lot of guests on the season finale of The Bunt. Requests for next season: Kalis (duh), Zered, Forrest, Jake, Smolik, Muska.
Politic put Danny Renaud’s part from Division, their most recent video, up online. You can find Caddo’s part here, in case you missed it ;)
Russian Bob uploaded nine minutes of raw Gavin Nolan footage.
Might be a tough sell to some of our curmudgeonous colleugues, but Ripped Laces is contending that Reebok is skateboarding’s favorite “unofficial” skate shoe.
Even if it’s basically a lookbook, Leo footage is Leo footage.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: Kristaps’ block in a game that resulted in the first Nets home win in sixteen games. Yeah, I just had this one on in the background last night. No, I didn’t watch it for more than 15 seconds at a time.

That Parks Department clip reminded me of the time Ja$onwear noseslid the entire 10-flat-10-flat-10 “hubba” at the 6th Avenue entrance of Central Park, so here’s the 2003 masterpiece as a digitally remastered 2017 Criterion Collection GIF.
The pump through the second flat makes it all worth while
Goddamn Chima’s interview was live as shit. This is what we need
thats what she said.
Jasonwear gif goes. Shoutout jasonwear and the 90% of people who visit this site and don’t know about him.
Kristaps is a great Knick, in fact the best Knick on their current roster. But where do you get the nerve to admire a head taller double-teamed block (from behind nonetheless) and still find room to try to insult the already hurting Brooklyn Nets in this situation?! I don’t get majority of you cats… Nobody on the site had anything to say about the Knicks until Melo (you know, the same bum that has been ruining and is STIILL ruining the Knicks organization) came to NY. To top it all off, there weren’t any Nets’ haters up until the transition from NJ -> BK. Yet again the “Chief Editor” of this website happens to be from NEW JERSEY, not New York. So why is he a Knicks “fan”? Trying to embody New York hard-body much?!?!
