Preseason Already

Why the hell is there already a Knicks preseason game tonight? We just won last week…

Naquan Rollings posted up his edit from the L.E.S. Park skate jam dedicated to the memory of Marquis Blondel ❤️

“Cities hire ad agencies to craft entire campaigns to woo tourists. The skate shop video as a genre achieves the same thing powered by a handful of skaters placed somewhere around their late-teens and into their early-20s, a couple of responsible adults, and a steady flow of price-point shop decks.” Ian Browning wrote about the enduring power of skate shop videos for Closer. (Loosely related / ICYMI: A QS piece we did on the enduring power of shop …tees.)

Gabriel Fortunato with two lines @ the Fulton Street Subway stairs. Must be nice.

Fuck This Industry posted up a vlog from their trip through New England to Genuine Risk Lane. Includes Coles Bailey footage, yes.

For You … Only The Best

2025? Waxing ledges was contagious. 2026? Hell Rides are contagious.

Solid bit of New York footage, including a marathon line at the Museum, in Denny Pham’s globe-trotting “Intersections” part that went live on Free last week.

Someone at the Late Nite Stars video department saw that Jiro concoction and decided it’s a good time to finally drop the montage of their crew on the “Stars of Midnight” obstacle. Cooper Winterson opens up the LNS montage on the most Cooper Winterson obstacle ever, and the set-ups only get wackier from there ;)

“I would love some …poke bowl.” Petar Stantchev spends some Euros on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Didn’t know Barcelona just had wild boars running around the hills.

Summer Gotta End Someday Yo

East River Park south of Delancey opened on Friday. This means that the bridge that once lead to Alligator Ledge is back, although — brace yourself for bad news — it will not feature an Alligator Ledge. It does, however, include some suburban parking lot manny pads.

📅 1) Naquan & crew crew are hosting a skate jam with Thrasher at the Red Hook Skatepark tomorrow (9/9) @ 3 P.M. Flyer here. 2) Asics will be premiering their new video by Jacob Harris, A Guided Tour, at Palace Bar in Greenpoint this Thursday @ 8 PM. 21+. Flyer here.

“Will Steve Rodriguez and Gotham Park ultimately need to petition city hall to install a higher-yet rail or add several kinks? Does Antonio Durao’s membership in the rarified club of street handrail switch backside noseblunters put him on track to join the yet-more exclusive cadre of street handrail switch kickflip backside noseblunters?” …yeah, um, about that. Boil the Ocean wrote about how good the skateboarding going down at the Banks 2.0 is.

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.

Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)
