After 10,000 hours of watching skateboarding this year, these are the ten clips that brought the most joy / dropped jaws / conversations at the QS Office. Maybe your office spoke about completely different clips a lot more, but that’s your business ;)
It seems like skateboarding swung towards really gnarly kinked rails in 2024, even more than recent years, and the countdown is kind of …not really reflective of that trend. Then again, our biases are clear: three of the ten are in New York [four if you count New York State], and those took precedent over like, idk, the really Gnarly Wallenburg Trick from the Primitive video.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the kinked rail trend coincided with probably the highest rate of sacks in the intro compilation pre-roll, so…there’s that.
The #QSTOP10 desk will be on vacation for the next two weeks. The countdown will return on Friday, January 3. Thanks for watching this year, and as always, a much bigger thanks to the skaters, videographers, editors, traffic look-outs, spot repairers and knob removers that keep the good times coming ❤️
