Good blend of independent videos between selections from …an energy drink video.
You can pick any clip from Max’s part and it’s the one — the hold on that particular one just feels special.
…and you could also pick any clip from the Jacopo part and it’s the one, but had to choose this one for fellow fans of Bobby Worrest’s Right Foot Forward part. If you find yourself in that category, you already know what it’ll be ;)
Have a good weekend.
When choosing a headline image / thumbnail / still from this crew, it’s so easy to go with some shit they’re about to skate into because it mimics the experience of first watching the video. Like, “is this dude actually about to do this?” When the answer is “no” — at least to run up a couple slams before cutting to the make — it’s always a full body battle with ten types of sandpaper ground until the glory of the rollaway.
📷 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 :)
Big Cartel Era…
Threw some leftover hats + scattered sizes of QS gear on sale over on the webstore 🛍
If you live off the G train …godspeed.
A five-minute raw reel from a Carpet Company trip to Mexico City in 2023, while filming for their inaugural video, BRAT. Includes a Troy Stils sighting 😍
“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.
