The first year of the QS Cup Presented by Vans went down in Greenpoint, Brooklyn — just steps away from the onetime home of the world famous Autumn Bowl. Sixteen of the world’s best skaters were paired in an eight-race bracket, racing each other around our specially engineered pump track until only one skater was left standing with the trophy.
Congrats to Mr. Nick Michel for winning the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup 🏆 and to everyone who came out on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to make this an annual event, so see everyone next year :) Full recap vid will go live later this week.
The Rent Is Too Damn High is a KCDC Skateshop video by Abi Teixeira, released in commemoration of the shop closing up its N 3rd Street location after having been a fixture in Williamsburg for two decades — long before the neighborhood was what you know it as today. Features a wide net of KCDC’s riders throughout the years. KCDC is continuing online operations as they look toward the future.
Labor’s Brooklyn location is having a big sale as they consolidate down to just the Manhattan location. Be sure to check their IG for abridged BK store hours before you make the trek though.
Maybe it’s the interview in the middle, but this has big 2000’s video magazine New York montage-vibes (yes, once upon a time, that was a rare thing for #skatemedia): PFP videographer Mike Sassano has a ten-minute New York montage over on the Transworld site with footage from Jeremy Murray, Matt Militano, Niels Bennett and more.
All over the place this week, which was a lil’ slow ahead of the deluge that arrives with Skateboard Oscars Season™ up ahead.
Probably not the *best* Austyn trick in that video, but there’s something strangely really satisfying about this one ;)
Shout out to Shane O’Neill’s Frog SB Blazers.
See everyone at The Cup 🏆
With our QS Sports Desk correspondents having filed their picks for The Quartersnacks Cup yesterday, our good friends at The Bunt — no strangers to bracketology in skateboarding — chimed in with their choices today.
Can’t believe a Canadian skate podcast host picked not-E.T. in round 1. Lots of hot takes, bold predictions, brazen contrarian-ism, and the elusive BUNT LOCK OF THE WEEK to win it all. Enjoy and don’t forget to fill out your own bracket here.
Apologies to all of our Canadian family for hosting the event on Canadian Thanksgiving eh.
