‘What Did You Expect?’ — A J.P. Blair Video Premiere Recap

📷 Photos by Greg Navarro

The urban legend goes something like: if you say “Fred Gall” in the mirror five times, ten years later, J.P. Blair drops a new video.

Met with some friends to watch the Knicks this past week — many of whom have fallen out of the habit of skateboarding regularly. They had asked what was going on this weekend, and I’d mention J.P. Blair is premiering a video, half-expecting them to maybe not have a sharp mental rolodex of skate videographer names. Everyone would say: “Outdated J.P. Blair!?”

Time certainly flies, but great indie videos endure to the point where people who aren’t on board much these days have fond memories of one of the 2010s’ best — just as much as people still very much in the skate trenches do.

Yesterday, he premiered What Did You Expect, a HD, Jersey-heavy full-length that is due to make its way online this week. (At least that’s what J.P. said.)

#QSTOP10 — May 1, 2026

A lot of homie videos leading up to the most inevitable #1 ever. Knew it was coming the entire time and still laughed out loud when he did it. Holy fucking shit.

#7 is something that if you saw your friend trying it, you’d have to ask, “Um, are you sure?” That drop on the other side makes it so hairy. #3 best sound design in a skate clip 2026. Polls are closed. Congrats to J.P. on logging #anotherone. Everyone have a great weekend.

The Good, The Bad & The Knicks

QS goods arriving to skateshops now. Arriving internationally next week. Available via our webstore next Monday, May 4th. Photo via Laaaaabor ❤️

J.P. Blair‘s next video, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT (sounds like a Drake album, tbh), premieres at Cinema Village on May 1, with showings at 8 + 8:45 P.M. Flyer here. 22 E. 12th Street. Not to be confused with Village East, also on E. 12th Street, but further east.

STAGEDIVE420” is a really sick all-NYC montage featuring a lot of homies and some pro homies by Daniel Star. Gabriel Fortunato’s two pole-jam tricks were beautiful.

Our friend and longtime staple of the Duplex universe, Dan Lundy, has a new five-minute Florida edit featuring Andrew Wilson, some wild Joel Minholz footage, the Andrew crew, and a bearded Pedro Delfino somehow not snapping his board on that final clip.

#QSTOP10 — April 24, 2026

Slow news week on the front page despite long days logged in the content factory. Back on it next week. Merch arriving in shops now. On our webstore ~next week? Support your local until then :) Arriving internationally soon.

A lot of “CREASED” in here, as is often the case when Johnny drops a new project, but didn’t wanna get overwhelming with it especially after the tour coverage + the potential for an upcoming #trendwatch that maybe originated in it?

Have a good one.

Johnny Cumaoglu with the first Small Banks clip heard around the world DMs + ok, so now we need a Shintaro Hongo one-spot part at the Brooklyn Banks, ASAP + @banks_at_six Small Banks reportage has begun 🧱 (“You wanna skate a curb in Central Park??? We’re going to the Banks, buddy! Six o’clock!”)

We are a long way from “cherry.” Last week coincided with two profiles of its stars and their grown-up lives: Christian Kerr profiled Tyshawn Jones for Hypebeast (“This is probably my last interview for a while. We’re going to let the skating talk. Then when the skating is done, they’ll ask for more interviews”) + Sage Elsesser was profiled by the High Snobiety magazine.
