‘Nice To Meet You, I’m Pro’ — Andrew Wilson’s Krooked Pro Part

Over here at QS HQ International, we have been posting Johnny Wilson’s videos for a long time. Like 12 years or something. We were by no means the first ones to start pushing them out to the ether — we first caught them off Skate Jawn back in like ~2012 (show of hands: Space Heater? Skate Video?) — but they’ve been a fixture around here since before, like, Instagram had video capabilities and shit.

The momentum from those videos helped fuel the skate careers of Cyrus, Max Palmer, Nik Stain et al., in addition to companies like 917 and Limosine, which provided an additional platform for their skating. But Andrew — Johnny’s just-slightly older brother — always went by his own beat, clocking one of the best parts in each and every one of those Johnny vids. Drew briefly rode for an early stage Alltimers before hopping over to Polar for an extended stay, and ultimately finding himself on Krooked, which blessed him with a pro board that has been long, long overdue.

Lotta Brodies, One Ledge

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” video is a slice of life montage into what it is like to spend hours on end at the refurbished Tompkins Square Park, circa 2024. Could basically be VR. That backflip guy has to go back and get that. #tfreport.

“I don’t make something unless I really like it and think it’s fire and cool and I want to wear it — or I think it’ll sell. Usually the shit that I think is the best and all my friends think is the coolest doesn’t do well. Then the shit that I’m like, ‘Whatever, this is bullshit’ — it sells out.” A tale as old as time. Village Psychic interviewed Myles Underwood, the mind behind Fuck This Industry.

Theories shared Josh Feist’s part from Traffic’s It’s Completely Fine video. Heavy on the Philly clips, lots of insanely crustaceous spots, and those tricks from the black marble rock onto the cement ledge are wild.

Summer Starts in August

The rumors are true, yes. We’re bringing The Quartersnacks Cup back this year, but with Vans. It’ll be more public. More info coming soon ;)

Shaquille Waite put together a thorough initial #tfreport of the re-done ground with his crew. It’s so …green! The fakie frontside flip over the bump-to-bar was nuts.

“Skaters who think they smoke a lot of weed have nothing on hockey players.” Una Farrar is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series — except it’s about $120 Canadian! (Somehow, it’s actually like $135CAD…)

Five Favorite Parts With Andrew Wilson

📷 Photo by Ishod Wair

The other day, it was brought to our attention at our daily 10 A.M. that we’ve done one of these with Johnny [Wilson]. We’ve done an interview with Mitchell [Wilson]. We’ve even done a Five Faves with Josh [no relation Wilson]! And we’ve never done any formal, front-page QS content with Andrew — no doubt many people’s favorite Wilson. To remedy this egregious oversight, we got him on the phone to talk about another Andrew’s part from 2010 ❤ ️

Carhartt WIP’s ‘PRECIOUS’ Video Is Now Live

Carhartt WIP’s follow-up to 2022’s Inside Out is now live. While that one was entirely filmed on Euro trips, Precious is a half New York / half L.A. production featuring an ever-expanding team that now includes Eddie Cernicky, Jackie Michel, Ewing Ayala, Noah Mahieu, Tanner Burzinski (who fits right in as the team’s one and only tech lord) and more.

Don’t know what’s more surprising: the fact that the Joseph Campos bank on Water Street is just a “spot” now, or that people are still finding tricks to do on the Mraz bank-to-hubba in The Bronx? Eddie Cernicky steals the show on both.
