World Touring Still Pouring

Daily News December 16th, 2024 · 12:00 am

You know how our twisted reality had to adopt the widespread use of “not The Onion” because real-life gradually surpassed parody? Sometimes it feels like these 2020s skate spots are experiencing the same thing, only relative to their resemblance to a Brother Merle illustration. You really gotta hand it to skateboarders for continuing try to and make the Chinatown Banks “work” for 20+ years.

Still got some loose holiday deals on the webstore 🛍

Max B is coming home November 9, 2025 🌊

“What is this fucking website called? ‘Quartersnacks’? We don’t have time for this.” Farran Golding spoke to Ian Browning for the first episode of the Skate Bylines Podcast, about his 2022 profile of the L.E.S. Skatepark for QS, on the occasion of the park’s tenth birthday.

“Main Character” is a tightly-knit upstate crew video, filmed largely around the Rochester, New York zone. Shout out to to all our people who have warrants from Cornell campus police.

Zander Mitchell and Jake Todd made a new part for Theories’ urethane imprint, Dialtone Wheels. Tons of Philly footy, a lil’ bit of New York. Those Museum lines are nuts.

2012 My Year — Limosine’s Montreal Trip Video

Daily News December 13th, 2024 · 2:44 pm

There may be no Canadian S.O.T.Y. finalists, but Canada The Country certainly didn’t get the memo, as it has been basking in unmistakable main character energy as the rest of the world sits on the edge of their seats for the skater that will lay claim to the …year.

Not only did the esteemed Préfontaine Bank walk away with this year’s Time “Person of the Year” award earlier this week, but Limosine — which does not sponsor or employ any Canadians at press time — chose the world’s second biggest country as a shooting location for the commemoration of their latest drop, all during a week that can only rightfully be described as an honorary Canadian Skateboard Week.

Was damn near impossible to suppress the encroaching smile once the beat switched into the second song. Ocean gang we in this motherfucker.

#QSTOP10 — December 13, 2024

Daily News December 13th, 2024 · 12:00 am

Half-a-year removed from Canada Day, it’s an all-Canadian Top 10 this week — not the intro though, that’s some homegrown New Jersey brilliance, baby!

Happy Holidays to our neighbors in the north. That #1 really takes the cake for the most fried thing in a video this year. A natural two-year evolution of galaxy brain spots.

Top 10 of the Year goes live next week, then the countdown desk goes on vacation for a sec, thank fuck. Year-in-Review part two goes live a lil’ later today too.

Have a great weekend, and don’t forget…

THERE’S ONLY A FEW HOURS LEFT TO VOTE IN THE QS READERS POLL: Vote here ⏳

The 2024 Quartersnacks Readers Poll

Daily News December 9th, 2024 · 12:00 pm · 12

It is that time of the year again: when we look back at all the countless hours we have spent watching skateboard videos, and wonder to ourselves, “Wait, wtf even came out this year?”

We ask our esteemed readers to provide a list of their five favorite individual parts + five favorite full-length videos from the past year. To anyone just joining us: our objective is to combat content fatigue and our cooked attention spans in the era of endless content by making a time capsule of the last 12 months. This is already our fifth time doing it for a single year.

For someone looking back at 2024 in five or ten years from now — from where you sit now — which five individual parts and five full videos would you say best exemplify this moment in skateboarding?

We ask that all entries be ranked. 4PLY dove into the poll’s methodology for anyone interested.

Voting closes this Friday, December 13 @ 3 P.M. New York time. Results will be presented later this month.

Found some Tompkins pullover jackets + XXLs in the warm-up jersey in the warehouse. Keeping the Cyber Monday deals up on the webstore 🛍 Thanks for the support ❤️

“I feel like I know enough about Jack the Ripper.” Kyle Wilson spends the USD-equivalent of $127 (!) and gets a £3 fade in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “£100 Chill” series.

Videographer Lannie Rhoades posted up an extended cut of a 2019 Volcom trip to New York with Milton Martinez (S.O.T.Y. year), Louie Lopez, Simon Bannerot, and more. Simon’s 4x ollies at the Jerome Avenue Banks will forever rank as one of the most insane tricks ever done in New York + Milton’s line there + Con-Ed ollie is also completely fucked.
