The 2024 Quartersnacks Year in Review: 15-6
#tfreport via Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” edit
The mayor got indicted, the Knicks are good enough that you’ve barely heard the words “J*mes D*lan” as of late, and LaGuardia airport is somehow the best airport in America? Who even knows what’s going on anymore, but we’re trying our goddam best over here at QS HQ.
Previously: 25-16.
The 2024 Quartersnacks Year in Review: 25-16
Almost got caught off guard with December starting so close to Thanksgiving until NY Mag ran their “Reasons To Love New York” shit (which is what this series is pretty much based on.) Had to scramble the notes throughout the year and get to writin’.

Five Favorite Parts With Jacopo Carozzi

📝 Intro + Interview by Farran Golding
It is funny how a year can feel quiet for skate media, and then kick into gear in just a little over a week. Such was the case in mid-August when Nike SB’s QuickStrike, Daniel Wheatley’s Soul Crusher, Pop Trading Company’s POP, and Hardbody’s OD all arrived within the span of two weeks. But cast your mind back a little further to July and Jacopo Carozzi’s eponymous video part by Spezzatura was the first piece of skate media to sent phones ringing across the QS international news desks with high acclaim and musings of what might stake a claim in this years’ Readers Poll. [Voting opens in ~two weeks, btw.]
With that in mind, as the year comes to a close, we asked Jacopo to take the stand for the final “Five Favorite Parts” of 2024.
