Summer Starts in August

The rumors are true, yes. We’re bringing The Quartersnacks Cup back this year, but with Vans. It’ll be more public. More info coming soon ;)

Shaquille Waite put together a thorough initial #tfreport of the re-done ground with his crew. It’s so …green! The fakie frontside flip over the bump-to-bar was nuts.

“Skaters who think they smoke a lot of weed have nothing on hockey players.” Una Farrar is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series — except it’s about $120 Canadian! (Somehow, it’s actually like $135CAD…)

#QSTOP10 — September 13, 2024

Do you think Foy deliberately coordinated his outfit here? ^

Studies say that you’re 25% more likely to land in a countdown if you’re hanging out with a dope animal after the make. See also: the ender in the “Read The Room” video, although that animal epilogue was saved until the ender, so we figured it was better to let that one breathe in exchange for the dumpster dodge.

Otherwise, a massive week for Berlin’s Kulturforum, and it feels like it has been a while since someone made it in for just a flat trick — not a flat trick in a line, but a literal flat trick ;)

Have a good one.

Type of Way

“‘The EP me and Thug [are going to] drop? The hardest duo since Outkast.’ The interviewer’s eyes widen. He starts to push back (‘Now that’s—’), but Quan cuts him off. ‘I’m not being funny.’ He presses. ‘I’m not putting too much on it. Hardest duo since Outkast.'” 💔 💔💔

“Every Saturday and Sunday morning I drive around drinking coffee and looking around the city. I’m always looking for a spot where you could put a little piece of concrete and see if it stays.” Skate Jawn interviewed our good friend John Cruz about life after Shorty’s, and the D.I.Y. scene in Newark, New Jersey.

Day one rider for Travel Skateshop [Rahway, NJ], Derek Patterson, dropped a new part for Bronson Bearings. Mainly NY + NJ clips, with a wild ender and an incredible hardflip on that drop-in gap over the street behind Pyramid Ledges.

Jermaine Whittaker has a sick new part out over on Vague, filmed and edited by Blaine Williams. Lots of Seward Park ledge tech-ery and great switch front shove form at the end.

#QSTOP10 — September 6, 2024

Some boned out flip trick form, powerful line choreography, and gravity defying nose mannys in this week’s edition. Dylan Sourbeer’s line was also an office favorite, and distillation of all that’s beautiful in east coast skateboarding ;)

We have a shared booth with our friends LQQK Studio at the Vans Block Party tomorrow. Selling some collab tees + odds ‘n endz. 198 Randolph in Brooklyn (same venue as the skatepark.) 3p-1a. Stop by if you’re around ❤️

Have a good weekend.

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.

Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)
