Spring Over — Ben Tenner in Copenhagen

📷 by Matt Price

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.

QS x Adidas Wall Jam @ Blue Park Recap

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.
