‘T-Shirt Brand’

hoods

The Quartersnacks web store is now open with holiday gear. This includes hoodys, longsleeve tees, a light reissue of the Tompkins crew, and some beanies. Everything is available at Labor, Exit and Orchard right now. Other shops and abroad this week. Also, UK residents: Slam City Skates carries our stuff now. Support your local skate site. *Promise to update every day this week if you buy something* :)

Vote for Bobby. Pretty tight how he mentions Javier Sarmiento in his top three of 2014. Javi has a few lines at some insane spot and a great nollie backside flip in in this new, uh, Arnette clip. Warning: the first song is maybe the worst song to ever be put in a skate video. Had to detox by listening through Tha Tour twice afterwards.

TWS has a new “Five Trick Fix” from Paych. Buy here.

The loosest trucks in Korea.

Rigged a lil’ wear test video for the new Nike SB Grant Taylor shoe at Flushing a few weeks ago. Basically, if you skated that new Bruin shoe all last spring/summer like everyone else, but can’t find it anymore, your problems are solved. (BTW: You get kicked out of the fountain now? Or did we have bad luck?)

Tony Ferguson on the first-ever Girl tour to Europe. “Oh yeah, did you hear about the van? The van is gone too.”

SMLTalk reviewed an illegally downloaded version of True, while Frozen in Carbonite provided an analysis on the similarities between True, Questionable and Virtual Reality. A QS review of the new Plan B video? The trick Pudwill does over the Milan grate is psychotic and Sheckler should’ve skated to “Lifestyle.”

Josh Kalis v.s. Plastic Jersey Barriers: A Retrospective.

Someone was bound to edit a video part to “Coco” before the year was out.

A teaser for Strangers, which premieres at Sunshine on Wednesday.

Troy Stillwell’s B-sides from the Bev video.

In our continuing coverage of 2014’s most #ontrend day of the week: the 14-minute Tuesday video is now live (no, not the Makkonnen one…at least not really.)

Alltimers uploaded their commercial that was originally supposed to appear before Cyrus’ part in Paych. Johnny didn’t want to compromise his artistic integrity by putting an advertisement from a multimillion fashion conglomerate in the middle of his video, so he pulled it at the last minute. It’s online now for your viewing pleasure:

You might have heard about the Coda Long Island City indoor spot. Here’s a clip.

All things considered, this went as good as it possibly could have gone.

Boosie woke up this morning like fuck that.

Alltimers Presents: She’s Garbage

Daily News December 5th, 2014 · 6:15 am · 7

she;s garb bud

Fresh off a perhaps the most wonderful consign one could ever get, the physicists at Alltimers have zeroed in on the opposite side of the spectrum to celebrate the launch of their webstore and holiday collection.

Garbage — moreso than even metal curbs or cellar doors — has long been the lifeblood of skateboarding in this city of trash. It has allowed us to convert barren spaces like Tompkins, T.F. West or Astor Place into world renown institutions, sought out by visitors from across the globe who just hope to get a whiff of what half-eaten Halal food, coffee and YooHoo smells like when mixed together. Thank you garbage, for your decades-long support of this thing that we do.

Features Marisa Tomei, Cyrus Bennett, Max Palmer, Keith Denley, Kevin Tierney, Alex Olson, Torey Goodall, and too many others to run a full list down.

Clean up with some chill gear at Alltimers.com. They have Tomei cruisers. When those are gone from there, they’re gone forever.

Have a good weekend.

Noooooooooo Juice

Daily News November 10th, 2014 · 5:00 am · 13

juice

No, not the Juiceman.

Soooo, we made a run of those Tompkins Square sweatshirts from earlier this fall as hoodys for Japan. There were a few leftovers that didn’t get promoed out, and you can scoop what remains in the webstore now. Hurry!

Unequivocally the worst rap song ever recorded.

The new Alltimers boards are chill.

SMLTalk came through with an abbreviated history of the plus-size skateboarder, though oddly left out second-and-third career arc Fred Gall. His Inhabitants section is sorta the epitome of heavy-set skateboarding, isn’t it?

We noticed earlier this year that Hungary might be the European-equivalent of New Jersey, at least from a skateboarding standpoint. Well, if you were into Toló, you’ll get a kick out of Fakopó, a new 27-minute video of Budapest-based crust.

Corey Rubin sighting in Johnny Wilson’s latest video blog!

Kalis is the best. Not only is he indifferent to the today’s prefered practice of ambidextrous pushing, he rejects the term “switch mongo” altogether. If Kalis and Gino aren’t learning to push with their opposite foot, why should you?

Halloween-themed skate clips all tend to blend together at this point, but this Muska-themed one via the Black Ninja is cool if you grew up on Fulfill the Dream.

New quick 4-5-6 clip from Bolts Hardware and Curt Daley #eggs.

Some old fashioned “Who is Jake Johnson going to ride for?”-speculation + thoughts on the modern skater’s newfound ability to sustain relevance without a board sponsor.

“I was told in 1996 by Frank Messman, the then CEO of World Industries, that the industry standard rate for a graphic topped out at 500 bucks. Nearly 20 years later it’s still that amount or less—even by half from what I’ve recently been heard from one manufacturer—which may make this the worst profession in which to try and earn a living.” Chris Nieratko interviews Sean Cliver about the unfortunate plight of making a living off skateboard graphics. (Ginko reissued Disposable, btw. When are we gonna see a reissue of the Evan Hecox book? $694 for a used copy is a bit out of budget.)

Ride has a cool history lesson on short-lived “cult” companies from the nineties e.g. American Dream, FIT, 60/40, Illumanti and a handful of others.

Josh Stewart uploaded a good quality version of the New York, Boston and Philly section from the original Static video on the occasion of the video’s fifteen-year anniversary. Tony Montgomery was really sick, huh?

Some ten-plus-year-old footage of Kalis, Sabback, Puleo, etc.

Something for the English majors: “There is something untranslatable about skating’s vocabulary, something not-quite-repeatable about a particular trick landed a certain way, like a poetic line clicking into place in that ineffable way lines sometimes do on first reading.”

Quote of the Week: “I’m not good anymore.” — Keith Denley

Not sure how long ago this happened, but recently found out that the Bridgeport ledges got knobbed. R.I.P. to the best ledge spot within a 70-mile radius of New York City that you actually had a chance of skating :(

Ain’t Drunk Yet: Summer 2014 Extras

## No Flex Zone ##

These are becoming really fun to make. Everything that didn’t fit into 2014’s “End of Summer” video and other pertinent content ended up here. Sometimes, it’s hard to edit Matt Perez’s brilliance into a clip with background music and actual cuts. It’s better left alone. And yes, this is 70% a Matt Perez highlight reel. There is also nightime T.F. extras, Euro B-sides (Rich Homie Juan with a marathon line), #seaportgirlz, the extended version of Chris Haslam’s girlfriend, and much more.

Watch it with this playing in the background. “What’s good mami?”

ALSO, if you have yet to figure it out from the barrage of Instagram posts, ♥♥ the god Marisa Tomei ♥♥ brought her Alltimers cruiser on the Conan O’Brien show. Aside from her turning 50 in two months and still being hotter than any 20-something-year-old you can find, her appearance makes two rookie mistakes. 1) Supreme did not make the board. They sold the board, but Alltimers made the board. (Yes, they are sold out from Supreme. You’re an idiot for waiting for late night TV to remind you to buy a Marisa Tomei cruiser.) And 2) Whoever set that board up…wow. How does that make any logical sense at all? Whatever, that’s Conan’s intern’s fault, and not ♥♥ the god Marisa Tomei’s ♥♥. She is without fault i.e. perfect.

Have a good weekend. Save your pennies because the webstore opens up on Monday with fall gear :) $$$

Go support the man 70% responsible for the existence of this website today.

Huge: Marisa Tomei co-signed her Alltimers cruiser. An Oscar winner!

Thanks to Ripped Laces for the kind words about the QS Dunk. Available in skate shops now. QS gear available in Supreme (New York and Los Angeles) and Labor Skateshop this week. Available in Euro/Asian retailers and less local-ized skate shops later this month. Online eventually ;)

Diamond Days #75. Forrest Edwards would be bummed on this one. Interesting that the curb-cut island on E. 9th and Third Avenue has become one of the most #trending spots of 2014, despite the fact that every human who has ever skated in New York passes it ~50x a week on the way to Tompkins. Skate it before NYU buys it.

Team Keith 4ever!!!11 ♥♥♥ And he didn’t even do a backside 360!

Here’s the teaser for Strangers, the new one from the LurkNYC crew.

“Whose face should be on the $100 bill?” “Mine.” Dazed interviews the Muska. (Agree with the $100 bill sentiment, though it’d be preferable that it featured the Shorty’s silhouette rather than the picture they mocked up.)

Remember when Ali Boulala was gully?

The NJ-based In Crust We Trust squad put together a cool summer clip. The spots somehow keep getting more insane in these. Also, is Makonnen the new Big L? The new Modest Mouse? The new…guy on OVO?

Dudes who play the guitar for more than the #lifestyle shot of their magazine interview: Daniel Lebron with an intro to flamenco over on the Live Skate Media site. Some of the best #lowkey #musicsupervision on QS was when we were able to snag a recording of Dani playing for our 2011 Barcelona edit.

Obligatory “Summer Trip to New York” video links: The Richmond-based / Vine-loving Bust Crew’s trip on Vans’ OffTheWall.tv site, and some young’ns from Austin rip around the city a bit earlier in the season.

Whoa, did Stefan Janoski sign with Polo?

Always been a fan of these jazzy, night footage-heavy clips from Grace Skate Co. “Taped On” is their latest, though its for fans chill ambience and mellow skating, rather than dudes jumping over Black Hubba.

More along the lines of the Bobby Shmurda clip everyone was expecting. At least this one actually has the dance in it.

…except September is supposed to be hotter than August. Being “into” fall is mad corny anyway. Have a good week everyone.
