‘I Don’t Even Know How To F**cking Airwalk’ [But I Can Fakie Bigflip At Burnside] — The New Polar Video Is Live

Daily News November 22nd, 2024 · 1:30 pm · 7

Was waiting to see how the title of the latest Polar project would manifest inside the video’s outtakes — you know, the whole “welcome to Jurassic Park“-thing — and it turns out that he indeed doesn’t know how to fucking airwalk. At least not yet.

But Emile does know how to do a lot of things. It was funny hearing reports from people who were able to make the New York premiere talk about Emile’s part in terms of what some of the spots in it weren’t: “the brick double-set he ollies in Portland isn’t even a spot,” “the transfer he does at Burnside isn’t even an actual possible transfer,” etc.

After some deliberations, it was decided that the Foy trick enclosed was one of the more “under-covered” ones since the NB# vid went live, and if you were at the New York premiere, that was maybe the point in the part when people couldn’t help but laugh in utter disbelief at how insane some of the shit he was doing was. Went local for the Tiago one. The #1 should come as no surprise around these parts.

Have a good one. Make it rain, please.

An Anti-Hero #tfreport & Beyond

It’s funny how much the mere existence of a quarterpipe within the Tompkins fence recalibrated the way that place is skated, and the tricks people do there. A few months ago, having heard that the Anti-Hero team is at T.F., nobody would fault you for thinking, “Why the hell is the Anti-Hero team wasting time at Tompkins? Wouldn’t that time be better spent at the Chelsea park?” [Spoiler: they make it to the Chelsea park. Phew.]

But instead, you have Gus Gordon climbing atop the brick pillars back by the bathrooms (both the perma-under-construction ones and the makeshift one that was born out of necessity), and Grant Taylor using that very same quarterpipe to stall atop of them. With that and the perpendicular couch ollie seen above, you likely have the two highest clearance tricks ever done at Tompkins. (Look at bro in the background wearing the green shirt.) Can’t wait to build a loop there when we make our first million and recalibrate shit again.

All The Way To The Top

“Editors are busy, and like I said, mired down in nonsense. It sucks, but it’s the state of the media.” Skate Bylines has a mega-feature about pitching articles, features, etc. to skate publications, featuring insights from many names who have been published on QS before. [Gonna use this space to apologize to anyone whose pitch we may have not got to in the past. It is never a personal thing, and it’s truly an honor getting a pitch from someone wanting to spend their time to contribute to QS each and every time.]

Boil the Ocean makes the case for all the inevitable S.O.T.Y. contenders.

“So it’s kind of funny that, you know, the quote unquote ‘underground’ doesn’t really exist in skateboarding anymore because everything’s so well seen. You can’t really even say we’re an ‘underground’ brand or anything like that. We’re just doing what we’ve always done.” Village Psychic interviewed the crew behind Traffic Skateboards, on the occasion of their new video.

“No way that’s the guy. No WAY that’s the guy?!”

Could have all been GX, but everyone has been mainlining that video all week. Deferred Mr. Greene’s ender on the off chance you haven’t caught the full thing yet, just because that clip didn’t feel like it was all over the timeline yet. But yeah, could’ve been an easy #1. Some weeks, the obvious is the best policy. Others, you gotta leave the element of surprise in, yaknow?

Otherwise, we all know that Sahbabii is the real S.O.T.Y. of the past week for dropping the A.O.T.Y. Literally 18-for-18.
