Quartersnacks makes a Knicks hat, and then the Knicks make the Finals for the first time in 27 years. Coincidence? Definitely not.

“If you’re painting in fear, that’s a bad state.” Antonio Durao is a painter.

Jermaine Whittaker has a new part with his 5301 CLT crew down in Charlotte, made in tribute to their friend, Nate Stout. Some New York dispersed between Carolina crust.

Two new ones from the next gens out of Europe: “BUG OUTTA HERE” by Moritz Ueberall and the BUG crew out of Hamburg + “Rustiq” by Stellavision, a young crew out of Paris. There’s some Trung guest clips in there too ;)

Kilian Zehnder’s “4M” part has a good batch of New York footy at the start. Switch flip back noseblunt is a demonic thing to try at Lenox.

In uncertain times, humans seek comfort. Today, this comfort is found in a house-y Johnny Wilson edit — a tried and true combination if there ever was one — anchored by Wilsonian staples like Antonio, Cyrus, Bobby, and Karim. Alongside them are Poe Pinson, Joseph Campos, Jack O’Grady, Elijah Odom, Casper Brooker, Troy Gipson and Ville Wester, aiming to find the lightning that Nelly found with his crew of St. Lunatics in 2002.

This deserved its own post but dropped on a travel day: 10/10 style-out on that opening switch ollie, they got …graced with enough time at the Grace building 🥁 to get a line, and OMG @ that inward heel in “Double E,” a new Orchard Skateshop edit starring Eddie Vargas and Eamon Durkan, filmed by Ted Purtell. Mostly Mass spots, but they make it down to New York a few times. (That impossible in the West Village, too!)

Xavier Holte skates through the rock salt in a cruisey, all-NYC part for OJ Wheels.

Jenkem has a great feature on the next generation of skate videographers from around the world, including the New York-based Alim Orahovac.

Happy New Year ✨

“I try to laugh as much as I can, be hyped and just try to push myself to remember shit can be so much worse. The most random shit gets me pumped, I really just remember to talk to strangers, smile, or whatever. It really works.” Monster Children posted their profile of Q.S.S.O.T.Y. Karim Callender online.

“I’m not gardening, but I would be down to.” They also shared an interview with Diego Todd.

Skate Jawn went out to Cleveland for Zack May to spend the first hundo of 2026 in the latest installment of their “$100 Chill” series. Shout out to all the wholesome fellas out there allocating a bit of their $100 for their girlfriends. And shout out to pirogies.

The results are in and we now have a snapshot of skateboarding in 2025, as voted on by QS readers. Unlike past years, when there was sometimes only a few vote split between first and second place, ties, etc., for the most part, everything cleanly landed where it landed this year.

And it should be said that this listing was voted on between 10:30 A.M. on Monday, December 8th until 5:30 P.M. on Friday, December 12th. Chris Joslin’s “G-Ma” part, which would earn him Thrasher‘s S.O.T.Y. trophy, was released around noon on Wednesday the 10th. Zion Wright’s part was released the morning of Thursday, the 11th. A similar thing happened the year that Miles Silvas won S.O.T.Y. But one hill we will gladly die on is that nobody wants to talk about year-end recap stuff in the following year. We will extend eligibility to any parts that came out starting December 8th into next year’s ranking.

To anyone just joining us: This is NOT a selection curated by QS staff. Editors and contributors can vote, but this was tallied across hundreds of publicly submitted ballots. If you’re interested in the methodology, 4PLY broke down how we tally the votes ✨
