Thank you to everyone who grabbed some of the Krooked x QS stuff from our webstore. It was a hectic week, but we should have everything shipped by today/tomorrow. If you don’t get a shipping confirmation by Tuesday-ish, hit us. We’re out of Snackman boards, but got a few of everything else left. Check your shop for the cruiser ❤️

📅 1) Labor is hosting a photo show of some rarely-seen/never-before-seen Spike Jonze photos at the shop this Friday, November 21st, from 7:30-9:30. Flyer here. 2) Don’t forget: Tristan Mershon’s new video, Singer Tower, is premiering at 1139 Bushwick Avenue also this Friday, November 21 @ 7 P.M. Flyer here.

Jiro, Pero, Suciu and the rest of the Habitat team star in a New York edit before cutting to a new Kaue Cossa part that’s also mostly New York-based. That Sombrero trick was insane.

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.

Thanks to everyone who picked up a pair of the QS x Vans MC 96 shoes ❤️ Still got 8.5’s in the green pair, a bit more of a size run in the blue ones.

After shelving the plan indefinitely after Tompkins was repaved, the Parks Department announced that it intends to paint the surface as an effort to preserve the asphalt longer. Work is slated to begin this week, but you know how that goes… #tfreport

“As one nerd pointed out, an Olympic-level skater like Yuto films a banger and people clap, because that trick is hard and Yuto did it perfectly. Antonio films a trick and people laugh, because it is so fucking insane that he did that that it may as well be a joke.” Monster Children celebrated Antonio Durao ~~week~~ month by interviewing the man himself.

“I get stoked if I hear someone say ‘Oh shit, I didn’t know he could skate normally.'” Jenkem interviewed another mastermind of third-eye-open skateboarding, Montreal’s Alexis Lacroix.

Alltimers’ New Video, ‘You Deserve It,’ Is Now Live

If you were too young to have experienced the real-time reign of the skaters most synonymous with the nineties — but had already clocked your 10,000 hours of watching skate videos by the time, say, Jake Johnson hit the scene — there’s a decent chance you carry a vivid memory of first seeing Zered in a video (especially if you grew up in the northeast.)

Seven Steps To Tompkins

Jenkem has an interview with Trung Nguyen, the architect behind last year’s most talked-about trick, and Big Parody.

“We are sad. People can say we are overreacting and that this spot will likely be liberated, but there is a gross feeling seeing the city prioritize something like this.” Village Psychic made a tribute to their local curb on the occasion of… the city knobbing a curb — appropriately titled, “Sadman Plaza.”

The QS office favorite Rios Crew out of Budapest just dropped a new video, entitled Uccsó. They’re as atmospheric and third-eye-open with the spots as ever, but it’s the filming that truly took on a new dimension in this one.
