📷 John Cardiel by Gabe Morford via Science Versus Life. 1998 btw.

Elisa Martini released her debut part for KCDC Skateshop via Skate Jawn. A fire noseslide, all New York clips, with some guest clips from the rest of the KCDC crew. Fantastic work.

Stephan Singh has a quick new montage of his crew. Really dope to see people still getting clips at Big Screen despite all odds.

“There’s a new emphasis on personality, and people want to know who the person is and the context of that person. It’s kind of funny, like we’re swinging really far into this abstract realm of not caring how good skaters are.” Jenkem has a great interview with QS-favorite, Zak Anders. Favorite skate interview in a minute.

Slow week around QS HQ on account of the holiday, but back on it next week.

Could’ve picked five or nine things from the Thrasher x Indy video, but didn’t want to go all-in on the thing that’s been sitting on the Thrasher frontpage all week. Otherwise, great releases from There and Bleach in case you missed them.

Did you think you’d be hearing Memphis Bleek’s voice in a 2024 skate video?

(Obviously yes.)

Have a good weekend :)

Threw some leftover hats + scattered sizes of QS gear on sale over on the webstore 🛍

If you live off the G train …godspeed.

“The future is AI, and that might seem scary. But don’t be scared — be terrified, because people are making AI-generated skate videos now.” New Bronze 56k Radio mix for the summer is now live over on Cloud of Sound.

Sometimes a guy running to stop your bomb nollie flip really brings your clip to another level.

A Japan-heavy Top 10 this week, obviously because of the New Polar video + more. Don’t think there’s a single trick this week (except the intro) that takes place in North America. It’s summer, baby!

Have a good weekend.

‘Why Is Every Skater On Earth In Paris?’ — Tagging Along With the Vans Crew During [Men’s] Fashion Week

Daily News June 24th, 2024 · 7:00 pm

If you follow skateboarders on social media, there must have been a thought of “what the actual hell” when you scrolled through your Instagram feed last week. Every single skateboarder on the planet was in Paris. Along with their corresponding filmers and photographers. And their entourages, love interests, and a gyrating cast of stragglers.

We were invited to tag along on a series of Vans events, not in full grasp that those events were a part of a gigantic event ecosystem called “men’s fashion week.” If we’re being real, I didn’t even know men’s fashion week was a “thing,” compared to, yaknow, the two regular fashion weeks that produce womenswear — an annual $820 billion global industry compared to the measly $465 billion reigned in by the menswear industry.

Well, it is very clearly a thing.
