#tfreport via Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” edit
The mayor got indicted, the Knicks are good enough that you’ve barely heard the words “J*mes D*lan” as of late, and LaGuardia airport is somehow the best airport in America? Who even knows what’s going on anymore, but we’re trying our goddam best over here at QS HQ.

“My first response was that its super chill and that I have a good balance on both, but now that I think about it, the way I and a lot of people in New York operate is not normal.” Heckride’s latest is an interview with young legend and Limosine rider, Enzo Kurmaskie.
They say “skateparks are growing up.” Wasn’t expecting such an in-depth dive into skateboarding’s evolving role in public space design, “skate gardens,” and the Mount Prospect Park skatepark situation from …Bloomberg.
We have narrowed down an overwhelming amount of submissions to ten finalists in the Tenant Skateshop x QS Blue Park obstacle design contest. Now, the public gets to decide which obstacle gets built. Place your vote for your favorite obstacle below, and we will pay to have the winner built for the spring Blue Park season.
Voting closes at 11:30 P.M. on Friday, February 9th.
“This took 6 four hour sessions, 8 gallons of lacquer, 4 sets of rails, 3 grinder blades, 2 custom longboards, 1 law enforcement evasion tactic and 20+ hours of labor.” — Satan. Kyle Walsh on the boardslide, Alex Papke on the photo for Satan’s Drano.
Do not forget to enter the Blue Park Obstacle Design Contest that we are hosting with Tenant! All entries due by EOD this Friday, February 2 🔵
🚨🍝 We have a Mommy’s Little Meatball tee sighting! 🍝🚨 Germany’s Irregular skate mag made a very fire Summer Trip To New York edit featuring Denny Pham, Daniel Ledermann (doing the best backside flip imaginable, naturally), Nassim Lachhab and more. The whole thing really picks up a few octaves towards the end, too.
The city announced a partnership with The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation) that will renovate objectively two of the worst skateparks in New York (the one inside Brower and this one in The Bronx that some people from The Bronx don’t even know exists), plus build new ones in Soundview and Prospect Park. Waiting on that phase two announcement for the Banks though…
Tenant and QS are hosting a contest to design an obstacle for Blue Park.
Download the form below, and then either hand draw, digitally render, or plug in a photo reference of an existing structure with notes outlining your dream obstacle. The finalists will be selected by QS and Tenant, and then voted on by the public via QS. We will pay to have the winning obstacle built.
Please note! This will not be a PERMANENT concrete obstacle at Blue Park. It must be movable — we don’t have a million dollars and no, we can’t get the Love Park marble for it. Be creative, but also be realistic.
ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2 EOD. Please submit your entry to blueparkcontest @ gmail [dot] com. Finalists will then be voted on afterwards.
