Rocks In The Burritos

“For the kids coming out of rough homes, for those grappling against doubt and depression, pressures real or felt, the battles can have a kind of seductiveness. The way they can grip and blot out nearly every other single thing, to the point of blacking out. The fulfillment and release of actually prevailing can be almost secondary… even faintly deflating.” Boil the Ocean wrote about skateboarding. And Marc Johnson.

Greenpoint Palace is hosting a premiere of the new Polar video, You Got It My Boy Jamie, this Thursday, June 4th @ 8:30 P.M. 21+. 206 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn. Flyer here.

Congrats to The Bunt on ten years 🤝

Damn, remember when Tyshawn switch ollied one of these things from flat, and then morons in the comments (not on QS, but elsewhere) were like, “Yeah, nah, actually the corner is kinda bent, so…” Anyway, shout out to the gate challenge.

Y’all Won

Monday Links on a Tuesday on account of the holiday…

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.

“Figured since I had just started skating again, that I would film my ender in London…he was passing a message from Lev [Tanju] saying I’ve got to get my ender in Philly, you can’t come over here to do it. I was like, damn, alright, I guess I gotta skate this handrail.” Slam City Skates has a #longform “First & Last” interview with Jahmir Brown.

“How far back does Dylan Jaeb’s skate brain go? There’s another clue in the credits, where videographer Jacob Palumbo can briefly be seen dribbling soda out of a cup and onto a volcanic stone manual pad, which earlier in the vid is the site of a frontside 180 fakie manual kickflip out.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Dylan Jaeb’s new part and pouring soda on spots.

No Spots In Spotsylvania

Adding Ratscavage’s CURB video to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 CURB is a 27-minute video filmed exclusively at the 12th and Monmouth curbs / D.I.Y. in Jersey City. Heard the spot called Moishe’s ages ago, but haven’t really been tapped in with what’s going on with Jersey City skateboarding in recent times. Calling it Moishe’s on the map because “Oh jeez, I worked for Moishe, I worked for Mayflower…”

Back tail shove sorcery on the ledge between the two banks at ConEd plus more in the new Late Nite Stars throwaway edit — hopefully a hint of a new full-length on the way.

The community board approved the construction of the Brooklyn Skate Garden in Mount Prospect Park, albeit the scaled-down version that is half the size of the original plan.

Interesting, this one • 📷 via Kev

The Small Banks are open + Jeezy paid a visit to the Big Banks ☃

L.E.S. Park was on Law & Order.

“We finished the day …at Bunna Cafe.” Poe Pinson is the latest spender on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series for their 40th episode. Ocean Hill clips were fire. (If there are ever budget cuts at Jawn HQ, Gothamist laid out a template for a NYC-based “$20 Chill” last week. Yes, Manhattan still has a bar that gives you a free hot dog if you buy a beer. It’s no Bunna tho.)

“Fever Dream” is a new 12-minute Massachusetts scene video by Shawn MacMillan filmed mainly on chunks of crust and featuring Connor Noll, Cooper Qua, Eddie Vargas, and others.
