“Excuse Me Ladies, Sorry To Bother You, But We’re Out Here In Dimes Square Trying To Get Opinions On The Latest Tom Schaar Part. Is Vert In Fact, Back?”

“Nicotine Riser Pads are the only riser pads that funnel nicotine through your board, into your toes, and right into your brain.” Bronze 56k pivoted and created a rock station: Bronze 56k, THE BOLT 🔩 The only station that can turn your three-day hangover into a five-day bender.

“It’s the difference between technical perfection and genuine joy.” The Main profiled Vincent Tsang, one of the original founders behind Dime and its evolution from YouTube hijinx to a revered Québécoise fashion house.

Timescan videographer, Rob Taro, got in front of the lens and filmed a part that connects his two homes of New Jersey and Japan for our friends at Grey.

#QSTOP10 — April 25, 2025

Daily News April 25th, 2025 · 12:00 am

There was obvs no debate about whether #agenreofskatingwetypicallydontcover would be in contention for #1 this week, as the QS Tipline ☎️ was ablaze with people from the most unexpected of corners shouting “holy shit.” The only issue was, of course, which clip to go with, and that was shockingly unanimous around the QS lunchroom, probably because it’s at a very specific crossroad of being pretty street and bordering on humans having wings.

And before anyone asks, yes, there has been vert skating at the top slot before, but it was Tony, so, yaknow, Tone had to have a #1 at some point.

Have a great weekend. Seems like we made it over the hump and into a much-deserved Actual Spring™ — or maybe it’s still The Pollening™.

‘Where Were You When I Was [Pop] Shoving In The Sleeveless?’

Daily News April 21st, 2025 · 12:00 am

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the webstore ❤️ Should be caught up on shipping orders soon. Available at skateshops worldwide now.

Everyone who has logged years skating Tompkins has an immediate answer to “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen walking into the Tompkins bathroom?” Let’s see if the $5 million they put into renovating it keeps it from becoming the tenth ring of hell again. Now open!

“Yeah, I think that when you show everything, it allows more people in. There are people I know who don’t skate who have watched this and for them it’s like a hero’s journey or something: You’re watching someone go through something, and you can maybe sympathize with me, or maybe think I’m insane, but you get that I’m trying really hard to do something. You don’t need to understand the context for the tricks to get that.” The menswear SubStack, Blackbird Skyplane, got the elusive Bobby DeKeyzer on the horn for an interview about his new part.

Fourth Annual QS Thaw Out Recap

Daily News April 15th, 2025 · 3:01 pm · 2

Jersey Dave was like, “Do you guys wanna do an obstacle this year?”

“Nah” — seeing as how the design-by-committee Pool Coping Philly Step™ from last year that people were soooo excited for didn’t live up to everyone’s imaginations. (We got into it at entry #14 in 2024’s Year-in-Review.)

“…wait!” Instead of building what other people want, we’re going to build what we want! And what do we want in an age of tension, frustration, and uncertainty?

A foot-high “hubba” ledge down a mellow slope, with the satisfactory friction of diamond-plate as you make your way down it with any respective dream trick that would prove too frightening for an actual hubba ledge, or even one at a skatepark.

Lucky for us, the prototype already exists on 114th and Morningside, except out of the last 100 years, it has been under scaffolding for probably all but a cumulative four months. So we enlisted the brilliant mind of Jerry Mraz to measure it, and replicate it in fine-tuned detail.

It’ll remain at the Vans park for a tiny bit longer, but we’re currently in talks to restructure it into a plain ol’ diamond-plate box to drop at Tompkins or Blue. Hopefully it gets skated more than the Pool Coping Philly Step™.
