Spring Over — Ben Tenner in Copenhagen

📷 by Matt Price

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.

Naquan Rollings dropped an edit of Chucky Lane skating the Supreme Brooklyn bowl.

Shaquille Waite filmed his two homies from Japan ripping around downtown. Lines down the Chase stairs never go out of style. Half cab flip was divine.

Primitive Video by Thomas Albin: one of humanity’s earliest ancestors discovers an anachronistic VX1000, and mankind is immediately advanced hundreds of thousands of years into the future to the partially unknobbed ledge that sits atop a four-stair platform between the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a Whole Foods. Otherwise, a really fun homie video that keeps its sights on the Normal People Spots of this city, e.g. there’s no Courthouse and the biggest set is an eight 💪

Pulling up to the Boston Aquarium ledges [as seen in decades worth of skate videos and The Departed] as an out of towner is a shared experience. Few places have as wide of a disparity between “omg that looks so fun!” when seen on videos, v.s. the “what the actual fuck are these cracks” when you arrive like Aquarium does, so it makes sense that the locals have the best clips there. Jerry Fowler, the Godfather of Six-Figure Ledge Skating™, breaks down the history of Boston’s crackiest ledge spot alongside from a who’s who of the New England skate scene for the latest Jenkins Log.

Calling It There” is a New Haven, CT-based video by Mead Franz with a good chunk of NYC clips. It feels like the Virtual Reality Bump has been popping up in more homie edits lately? Makes sense, since it’s probably been out of fashion for ~ten-ish years and you know how cycles go. Also, dude sliding down that rock bank in BPC kinda-sideways was crazy.

Love all of K-Rod’s crazy tricks obvs, but seeing Kevin Rodrigues do “normal” ol’ ledge tricks [sturdy back tail, back noseblunt pop-out…] is almost jarring to the expectations. K-Rod, Hjalte, and Dino XL (!) in this Copenhagen trip edit by Nico.
