Naquan Rollings uploaded Devin Flynn’s Borough Hall back 5050 heard around the world in 16:9 to his YouTube. You know something surpasses “you have to see the spot in person” when even people who have never been there’s reaction to a backside 5050 is “holy fucking shit.” That being said, it is bound to become one of those “stop, look and discuss”-spots for years to come.

Videographer Neema Joorabchi moved to Los Angeles, and dropped an edit of footage leftover from the end of his New York days entitled “sucks huh.” A mini part’s worth of Jasper Stieve clips in there, with a handful of Fort Greene bangers.

Chicago Report — Uprise Skateshop’s “Where You Been” Video by Harry Reynolds

It was almost a year ago to the day (right down to the Knicks-Celtics weekend match-up …which luckily turned out better this year), that upon Chicago’s Uprise Skateshop releasing a two-punch of parts from Will Morton and Vince Guzaldo, we remarked how nice a new Uprise full-length would be.

Well, it turns out they’ve been working on one. For the past three years. Just before the weekend (late pass, sorry), Harry Reynolds dropped Where You Been, a 26-minute Chicago scene video from the Uprise family.

This might be the first Saturday night dispatch from the QS office ever, but this one slipped under the radar before we clocked out yesterday, and is way too good to throw in a Monday Links round-up. Thrasher has it on the sidebar, but not sure why it isn’t all over our other colleagues’ platforms.

Found some Tompkins pullover jackets + XXLs in the warm-up jersey in the warehouse. Keeping the Cyber Monday deals up on the webstore 🛍 Thanks for the support ❤️

“I feel like I know enough about Jack the Ripper.” Kyle Wilson spends the USD-equivalent of $127 (!) and gets a £3 fade in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “£100 Chill” series.

Videographer Lannie Rhoades posted up an extended cut of a 2019 Volcom trip to New York with Milton Martinez (S.O.T.Y. year), Louie Lopez, Simon Bannerot, and more. Simon’s 4x ollies at the Jerome Avenue Banks will forever rank as one of the most insane tricks ever done in New York + Milton’s line there + Con-Ed ollie is also completely fucked.

We have our first one-spot video of 2024! Kurt Havens filmed a video entirely at the Abraham Lincoln statue in Prospect Park to show the world how much joy and creativity could be extracted from an innocuous patch of smooth stone in the middle of a big, green park. It has been added to the QS One-Spot Part Map 📍🐢

“The ConEd Banks sit quietly near the entrance to a mysterious 300-acre parcel of land that has been a site of energy, pollution, and controversy for over 100 years.” Village Psychic wrote the history of the ConEd Banks, which has a strong crossover with the New York hardcore scene of the 1980s. (Before anyone asks, yes we have looked into doing a “Favorite Spot” with Zered about it, but the consensus seemed to be that the footy was too scattered.)

Paris De Noche is the new video from Naquan Rollings filmed in New York, Philly and Paris, with standout clips from Jahmir Brown and Carl Aikens.
