Spring Over — Ben Tenner in Copenhagen

Video August 17th, 2026 · 12:00 pm

Ah yes, Copenhagen.

Once upon a time, this media outlet’s entire summer brand was dedicated to traveling there. In recent years, it’s been tougher to wind up in Denmark 2x in two months. We get to go other places — it’s fine. (Also, we were there in ’22, it’s not that dire…)

But if there was anyone you could choose to send to Copenhagen in your place, it’d probably have to be someone classically trained on grey plaza ledges with harsh winters barking at their heels, right? Someone who perfected their craft at Eggs, maybe? It’d probably be helpful if they had a Kalis-ian pair of fakie flips to show the world, right?

Well yeah: our friends at Eighteen East had the same idea. They sent QS-favorite Ben Tenner out there to weave some lines, and earn a bonus on exemplary varial heelflip form.

“Creative = good? It depends a bit on the definition… If I had to choose, I would prefer simple and functional in form – creative and high-quality in implementation and look, with attention to detail. When in doubt, I prefer simple and reduced – but well thought out and with intention.” Bubble has a roundtable with a bunch of skatepark designers discussing how you balance keeping a skatepark “creative” and still functional. There’s a solid 10% of QS readers sharpening their knives for every designer of a local park that has only curved ledges and no straight ones…

Diet starts Monday. Last one I swear. Maybe one more. R.I.P. Mambo Bar.

Orchard Skateshop Presents: ‘The Trail’

Daily News October 17th, 2022 · 12:37 pm · 1

“The Trail” has — through no shortage of hard-wrung effort, we can be sure — accomplished the impossible.

Lee Madden and Orchard’s roster of mainstays (Sean Evans, Ben Tenner, Myles Underwood and Brian Reid) have made a Boston skate video with no Eggs footage. No skate scene is without a riptide of a spot or two, but short of maybe Pulaski’s hold on D.C. skateboarders, Eggs’ magnetism is unbridled on the east coast.

All jokes aside though, “The Trail” is a follow-up to “EGG,” the all-Eggs video that this roster dropped this time two years ago, effectively purging their stockpile of footage from New England’s most famous skate spot, so that they could go ahead and churn out lines on Boston’s brick-and-granite side streets. The entire video was filmed in Boston proper, without taking a refuge for less traversed terrain out in the city’s suburbs. Filming and edit by VX Lee Madden, with 16mm by Vito Ramirez.

Spring QS goods arriving to U.S. shops this week. Gonna post a lil’ preview this week. Arriving internationally starting next week and onward ❤️ Online soon • 📷 via Patrick Buckley.

Closer has an extended cut of Louie Lopez’s footy via last year’s F.A. sesh at Tompkins, along with an excerpt from the interview Farran did with him.

Paul Young has a new video on the way starring Ben Tenner (that flick on the kickflip noseslide!) and Joe Russo. Hate that we’re already thinking about 2023 though.

Our friends at Andrew Skateshop in Miami got a feature in Vogue.

Wait, so Ben Chadourne was Skater of the Year all along? Knew it! Sorry, Keith (and Mark.)

They began demolition on the East River Park Amphitheater last week :( Alligator Ledge is blocked off, but you know, it’s Alligator Ledge 🐊

Something …not good seems to be afoot at Blue Park.

A wild ender on Pyramid Ledges, Tribeca street crossing lines, and newfound FedEx choreography in Jasper Stieve’s incredible new “Visitors” part for Picture Show. Thought it was gonna be the Dua Lipa version of that song for half a sec 😝

The Broth boys out of New Orleans have a new edit out called “Haunted,” with an ender part from Philly Santosuosso.
