We have always enjoyed Will See‘s appearances in various homie edits that have popped up in the past few years, and today, we’re happy to present a full Will See part by Kyle G., who you may most recently remember as the architect behind “for the coach.” The part is full of cutty New York lumps, Loreth-ian bank spots, and a switch frontside plot twist at the end ;)

Skaters have an interesting way of considering time. Spots and tricks come and go, never to be thought of again, but certain fleeting, life-affirming moments captured on video get imbued in amber and entire generations of a scene revolve around them. Meanwhile, lifecycles of content, personalities, and products live and die in a matter of months. Way back in 2023 – one of those lifetimes in the skateboard landscape – we covered the baseball game release party of Rowan’s last shoe. We spoke with Rowan about a few topics including the tricks he did on his favorite double-set, considering the video a sort of mini “Favorite Spot,” with plans to do something longer form with him in the future.
Blink and it’s been three years since. A lot has changed – with skateboarding, the world, and Rowan.

Ah yes, Copenhagen.
Once upon a time, this media outlet’s entire summer brand was dedicated to traveling there. In recent years, it’s been tougher to wind up in Denmark 2x in two months. We get to go other places — it’s fine. (Also, we were there in ’22, it’s not that dire…)
But if there was anyone you could choose to send to Copenhagen in your place, it’d probably have to be someone classically trained on grey plaza ledges with harsh winters barking at their heels, right? Someone who perfected their craft at Eggs, maybe? It’d probably be helpful if they had a Kalis-ian pair of fakie flips to show the world, right?
Well yeah: our friends at Eighteen East had the same idea. They sent QS-favorite Ben Tenner out there to weave some lines, and earn a bonus on exemplary varial heelflip form.
There was a tornado warning in the city yesterday. Unfortunately for us, we had a Wall Jam to throw. Nearing the 11th hour, the morning rain had dried up, so we figured, you know what? Fuck it, we wall.
We had a solid hour with a handful of soldiers who were down to defy the forecast. Quim Cardona showed up! Chachi was there! Holy Japhey Dow bigspin! Then, it started to pour, so of course we had to turn it into a spelling bee to get rid of the cash and product somehow.
Whether you’ve been living under a rock for a month, or you want to relive the magic all in one sitting …or you just need some shit to throw on the screen while everyone gets their shit together to go skate for the day, here is the entirety of the Game of G.R.A.T.E. series in one video. The order they went down IRL is the order they were released, which is also the order that they are presented in here. Thanks to everyone who participated, everyone who was involved in the production, and everyone with kind words to say about the series. We hope to do more stuff like this in the future, yes 🤝
