The homie got doored on a Citibike the other night by an apologetic Williamsburg drunk, and broke his foot. And in Andrew and Spitfire’s new collab video, “Spitfye,” Josh Wolff’s opening line …woooof. Fuck. Not to get all mom on everyone, but nobody wants to be laid up all summer after getting smoked for not paying enough attention on the road, so yaknow, keep an eye out there. Not everyone’s getting well-wishing from Jeff for a miraculous recovery like Wolff.
“For the kids coming out of rough homes, for those grappling against doubt and depression, pressures real or felt, the battles can have a kind of seductiveness. The way they can grip and blot out nearly every other single thing, to the point of blacking out. The fulfillment and release of actually prevailing can be almost secondary… even faintly deflating.” Boil the Ocean wrote about skateboarding. And Marc Johnson.

Congrats to The Bunt on ten years 🤝
Damn, remember when Tyshawn switch ollied one of these things from flat, and then morons in the comments (not on QS, but elsewhere) were like, “Yeah, nah, actually the corner is kinda bent, so…” Anyway, shout out to the gate challenge.
After reading the news about Marc Johnson’s death last night, it took an hour or two before I realized that the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” had quietly been looping in my head — kinda like the mental version of pocket-playing music on your phone’s speakers, until someone catches it and tells you. This is not coming from a massive Rollings Stones fan, but “Miss You” is my favorite Stones song. (No idea what second place would be.) 95% of that has to do with the fact that it is the song in my favorite Marc Johnson part.
Monday Links on a Tuesday on account of the holiday…
Quartersnacks makes a Knicks hat, and then the Knicks make the Finals for the first time in 27 years. Coincidence? Definitely not.
“If you’re painting in fear, that’s a bad state.” Antonio Durao is a painter.
Jermaine Whittaker has a new part with his 5301 CLT crew down in Charlotte, made in tribute to their friend, Nate Stout. Some New York dispersed between Carolina crust.
Two new ones from the next gens out of Europe: “BUG OUTTA HERE” by Moritz Ueberall and the BUG crew out of Hamburg + “Rustiq” by Stellavision, a young crew out of Paris. There’s some Trung guest clips in there too ;)
Kilian Zehnder’s “4M” part has a good batch of New York footy at the start. Switch flip back noseblunt is a demonic thing to try at Lenox.
