Speak Softly & Carry A Big Snack

Congrats to Mr. Nick Michel for winning the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup 🏆 and to everyone who came out on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to make this an annual event, so see everyone next year :) Full recap vid will go live later this week.

The Rent Is Too Damn High is a KCDC Skateshop video by Abi Teixeira, released in commemoration of the shop closing up its N 3rd Street location after having been a fixture in Williamsburg for two decades — long before the neighborhood was what you know it as today. Features a wide net of KCDC’s riders throughout the years. KCDC is continuing online operations as they look toward the future.

Labor’s Brooklyn location is having a big sale as they consolidate down to just the Manhattan location. Be sure to check their IG for abridged BK store hours before you make the trek though.

Maybe it’s the interview in the middle, but this has big 2000’s video magazine New York montage-vibes (yes, once upon a time, that was a rare thing for #skatemedia): PFP videographer Mike Sassano has a ten-minute New York montage over on the Transworld site with footage from Jeremy Murray, Matt Militano, Niels Bennett and more.

Limo on 9/17 — Limosine’s ’50 Flower’ Video

It has been an astonishing five years (!) since September 17th carried the promise of new Max Palmer and Cyrus footage. For those who still yearn for those simpler times, Limo’s 9/17 release fills the void.

Have often wondered as to why those curb cut gaps on the outer edges of Union Square have never made it into the city’s rotation of Spots That Really Good Skaters Skate™ — especially with 10+ years of people propping those planter grates up to the pillars — and this video addresses that concern (see above.)

Fear & Loathing In The Financial District

The Beacon crew has an eight-minute snapshot of the Summer at Tompkins 2k24.

Juan Reyna and his crew have a new 20-minute video out called SMOOCH, which is entirely filmed in New York. Always impressed that the E. 9th Street triangle continued to live on as a functional spot despite the reconstruction that made it fifty times worse.

Jerry Fowler — a late 90s/early 2000s pro who was ahead of the curve on multiple waves of ledge skating — filmed a selfie part for Orchard, his hometown shop in Boston.

Slam City Skates interviewed Will Miles about the making of QuickStrike.

President Nelly Morville & The Honorable Max Palmer Star in Limosine’s ‘8’ Video

For all the things to love about Limosine, the fact they have completely upended any of our built-in expectations about what is included in a “new drop” edit is among the most underrated. Usually, when companies throw an edit out to announce new gear (note, we are leaving full-length videos that also coincide with a few new SKUs in a brand’s webstore out of the equation here), it’s the in-between B-roll. The warm-ups. The shit leftover from trying the “serious” tricks that get saved for BIG VIDEO.

Ben Chadourne’s Paris in “I THINK ONE MORE MAYBE”

QS has completed its transition into Antonio, Hjalte and Hardbody state media this week.

2021 Q.S.S.O.T.Y. Ben Chadourne has managed to round up almost ~every skater you want to see~ from the greater Parisian / honorary Parisian / Converse-verse into “I THINK ONE MORE.” A dose on Nik Stain, Hjalte charging into traffic, a more substantial batch of K-Rod footage than K-Rod fans have conditioned themselves into expecting within the confines of a surprise YouTube montage… plus Cyrus! Sage! Vince! Vince getting tech!
