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.
