#QSTOP10 — March 14, 2025

Daily News March 14th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 2

Been a bit of a Monday Links, Top 10, Monday Links, Top 10, et al. rut around here. Usually the start-of-the-year slow month comes in January or February, but those were actually …kinda active? March in 2025 for the rut, whatcanyado, yaknow?

ANYWAY — some backend stuff has been in the works, so things should be picking up momentarily. The later sunset truly does wonders for office morale.

As far as the countdown, we got one bookended by two tre flips, with the #1 easily lofting itself among the greats. (If you’ve seen the video already, you know what it is.) The “don’t post enders!”-crowd can fall back because dude’s board sponsor already hardposted it.

Pittsburgh spots make ConEd Banks look like MACBA. Mini ramps with tree branches for coping, banks that need ten sheets of plywood to get to, and cracks obfuscated by six-pack holders all in Justin Funk’s “SCORCHER” video, presented by our friends over at Vague.

“A split second after I took that photo both of those cats, like, mauled Aaron. He was trying to hold them together and it just wasn’t working. They scratched him so hard he was bleeding out of his forearm. He was over rounding them up, like, ‘I don’t think it’s gonna happen…'” Skate Bylines interviewed the mind behind Heckride for some B.T.S. stories and inspo talk around his photo book of skaters and their pets. Wishbone and Hashbrown are really good pet names.

Sk8Diary — Zach Baker’s ‘Baker 3’ Video [No, Not That One]

Many hands have been wrung about the decline of “third spaces” in America — the social membrane between home and work/school. Some of society’s ghouls have maintained that these interactions now thrive online, and it’s like, get a fucking life you data-mining losers.

For an activity that had bottles hurled at it by jocks in the early nineties, and had to proclaim itself as “not a crime” via bumper sticker for decades, in an age when your average person is afraid to say “hi” to someone IRL because The Algorithm™ has rotted a hole through their medial prefrontal cortex …skateboarding doesn’t look so bad anymore! We socialize! We get fresh air! We have …friends.

But there is another digital scourge encroaching upon skaters, perhaps even more consequential than the widespread breakdown of societal order. There is a disappearance of third spaces for our …footage.

This one got filed early so some #important #releases got deferred until next week.

Switch crooks through bricks, impossibles into rocks, and isn’t in nice when someone who’s an “ATV” can throw some shit out there that still feels wholly out of the realm of their respective wheelhouse?

Shout to to Phil for paying homage to Meatball’s iconic 2014 bagel loss …with weed!

It’s Grant Taylor dude!

Detroit Report — ‘the POSE video’ By Cooper Vosburg

Daily News March 3rd, 2025 · 12:00 pm · 3

Trying to think of what’s done more for the aesthetics of the letter M than the University of Michigan, but coming up short.

Anyway!

“the POSE video” is a new project by Cooper Vosburg, the architect behind 2023’s “Can’t Have Shit,” and eminent videographer of all things concerning the current generation coming up out of Detroit, one of the most interesting stateside scenes going right now.
