Public RSVP for the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup is now live. Entrance is still subject to venue capacity, but RSVP is required for entry. Be sure to fill out a bracket of your predictions and share it with us on social media 🏆

The temperatures outside are dropping, so threw some shorts on sale in the webstore for the crib or your Miami trip or whatever 🛍

📍 Added Satan’s Drano’s “HESKWON” video, filmed entirely at the Koreantown Banks / federal courthouse in downtown L.A. to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map, and it’s probably the most unhinged entry to date: a onetime two-second bust spot that got overrun by skateboarders promoting a hot sauce company on the weekends with an ender where a skater slappies a curb and a dude flys off a ten-foot drop on a dirt bike over him into the street straight toward the cameraman? That’s Hollywood, baby!

A Tim Achille part opens up William Wishard’s Jersey scene video, Just For Kicks. Includes a shared Andy Bautista and German Nieves section at the end.

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.

Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)

Hardbody’s ‘OD’ Video Is Now Live

Daily News August 26th, 2024 · 12:02 pm

A lot of people seemed to have been expecting a Big Brand Video™. After all, this is a company that announced its first two marquee pro riders back in February.

But OD has all the hallmarks of a scene video — a distillation of the eight years since DANY. You have Antonio’s second part this month, yes, but you have also Kevin Tierney opening it, who is a Static alumn that has been a staple in every 2010s Bronze project. You have Brandon Scott James, with his first-ever full-on part after spending so many years pulling up with some of the best shit in Naquan Rollings’ edits, and being the local that any out-of-towner remembers from their visit to L.E.S. Park. You have a Charles Lamb part, a tech stalwart whose credentials date back to Metrospective and E.S.T videos. You have Josh Velez, who has consistently been putting out parts filmed on his off days for ten-plus years. You got a fuckin’ Billy Rohan cameo. You have Byoun …Byoun’ing.

Tao Ström dropped a new Julius Rohrberg part for Hjalte Halberg and Anton Juul’s brand, Dancer. Lots of creative approaches to classic Copenhagen spots, in addition to some new ones. Includes cameos from Hjlate, Ville et al. That ender is some real galaxy brain shit. Also spotted a vintage QS tee ;)

Daniel Wheatley posted up the trailer for his upcoming video, Blanket. Tom Knox! Charlie Birch! Nick Michael! Josh Pall! And Mingus Gamble has to be one of the greatest skate names of all time.

As a more grassroots sidebar to “Real Street,” the X-Games is [are?] hosting a bracketed video competition between local shop crews. The first bracket match-up is Baltimore’s Vu Skateshop v.s. Boston’s Orchard Skateshop.

Champions Need Their Belts — Connor Champion’s Grand Collection Part

Daily News March 11th, 2024 · 3:22 pm

In a bearhug embrace of The Halberg Principle™ re: turning your homies pro, Grand Collection bestowed Connor Champion with a special edition pro board yesterday, to honor a man much deserving of a pro board, yet not the slightest bit concerned with the industry of obtaining one. Dat da thing, indeed.

Can’t think of a skater’s name more destined to be emblazoned across the bottom of a Carolina-blue skateboard than “Connor Champion.” It’s like the skate version of when the name Dirk Digler lights up in neon in Boogie Nights.
