Looks like it has turned into a proverbial Cyrus week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
With video blogs running scarce in 2017 (promise to stop talking about those come next year…it’s time for me to move on with new loves), and Logan retiring at 26, these should cover a decent batch of B-sides from both the 917 video and his new Nike part ♥ Also includes a couple greatest hits from random Johnny and SB edits.
Filmed by… Johnny Wilson and Logan Lara. Paid for by these sketchy $4 hats from Cyrus’ Korean sponsor.
Cyrus has a new part out to commemorate his Nike colorway and line of alarm systems. Once an eminent Vimeo auteur, recent times have forced Johnny Wilson’s hand into helping the greater good, e.g. ensuring that the 917 video would one day exist — so much that his year-old clips have become #TBT fodder for the world’s best skater. Though the Vimeo page remains overrun by tumbleweeds, Johnny’s latest for the Swoosh is his first Cyrus part since the final minute of Sure, and features cameos from a bunch of faces you’d recognize from a 2015 clip — Max Palmer, Nik Stain, Vincent Touzery, and Franco, the legendary trashcan warrior from Horny.
Now what’s good with that pre-ripped and pre-dirty Max Palmer colorway?

The QS webstore is now live with spring merch. Quantities are thinning out a bit, so grab something while you can :) Available in U.S., Canadian and Japanese shops now. Those stockists can be found here. Arriving in Europe this week, but we need to update the list of Euro and Japanese shops. Hold tight. Thanks everyone for your support in helping us continue to do what we do (e.g. compile John Choi quotes.)
Please support Civil Skateshop & the Adrian Hall Plaza spot in Providence, R.I.
I’d be perfectly fine with watching a full part of T.J. skating Columbus Park ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Big surprise, Bobshirt compiled another amazing interview, this time with Rob Pluhowski. He runs through the full history of Habitat without any hints of entitlement or bitterness that seem to color some others’ recollections of the era. Gracious interview from a guy who graciously bowed out of skateboarding.
“It’s not even that he seemed unconcerned what people may think, but that he seems only vaguely aware that such people might even exist, and doesn’t seem much interested in sweating it too much either way.” — Boil the Ocean re: the aforelinked interview, and the rare act of bowing out of skateboarding and never looking back.
While on the topic of level-headed skateboarders, Sammy Winter seems like a fine lad.
Can’t really remember the last time the thought “wow, what a front tailslide heelflip out!” came to mind, but wow, what a front tailslide heelflip out! Via Neil Herrick’s Meadowlands part. Support Jersey-owned businesses and buy the DVD here.
New video from Frog Skateboards with a dope ender.
Riley Hawk and Danny Brady seems like an odd pairing, but ok, why not?
Um, there’s a Muska silhouette deck generator. Sure?
Someone remixed all of Taylor Nawrocki’s footage from John Valenti’s “Valencia Report” video that went live on Transworld about a month ago.
“I once knew someone who wore a thick gold rope and kept it tucked into their shirt, so that the weight of it rested against their bare chest, but the unmistakable thickness of it could be seen around their neck nonetheless, like an opulent snake. It occurred to me that this, perhaps, was truly the way to show off: Keep most of what you have at a whisper, but keep just enough so loud that it won’t be forgotten.” — Reflecting on ten years of Boosie, Foxx and Webbie’s “Wipe Me Down.”
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: Is John Wall your favorite player in these playoffs? (Isiah is a fine choice too.) Guess it doesn’t really matter who wins that series because they all know what fate awaits them at the end.

Ever, like, not listen to a really good song for a couple months, and then hear it come on shuffle and think, “whoa this is a really good song!?”
Not sure he should be driving a boat on Xanax though…

We keep waiting.
Waiting for Logan to emerge from his lair (which may or may not still be upstairs from the old Quartersnacks office) and begin working on the 917 video.
Waiting for famous house DJ, Challex Olson, to climb out from the twelve-foot-tall mountain of “Lover” hoodys and drop some new footage.
Waiting for Transworld to learn how to spell Cyrus’ name right. Or at least waiting to meet this emotional “Cryus” creature that they attributed their cover to.
Waiting for Drew to say “YOOOOOOO” longer than the last time he said “YOOO.”
Waiting for Ishod to admit he inherited Lebron’s headband collection.
Waiting for Johnny to start eating cheeseburgers and making weekly video blogs again, reclaiming the banner of productivity that he held so tightly from 2012-2015.
Waiting for Max to find a metal crevice that he can’t send his board through.
…I think Andrew has a longer “YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” in him, but for everything else, we’ll have to keep waiting, and waiting. In the meantime, here’s a video from some of those guys forcing us to play the wait game, and a couple guys with their names on skate shoes skating throughout the south this past spring.

Congrats to Cyrus on his first magazine cover. Gonna party extra hard for the first cover he gets with his name actually spelled right ;)
Walker Ryan has low-key (mid-key?) spent the past few years doing some of the best tricks on the staple New York spots. Old Friends put together this five-minute A.B.D. edit of all his city footage. Respect to filming the World Trade out ledge from the Burger King window, and to the fact that the security guard standing at the bottom of the bank is basically a part of the Roosevelt Island spot, no matter the clip.
Quim Cardona and friends in the montage from Politic’s First Division video.
This video is dreadful, but Chris Pfanner does a beast line from the rail to the double bump-to-bars in the projects on Madison Street.
Drew Connors dropped a promo for Bailar II, featuring Shredmaster Keith advocating for the resurgence of the Polish Park ledges on McGuiness — A.K.A. Derick Ziemkiewicz Park. You can watch the first Bailar video here.
Genny uploaded his first iPhone video of the spring to a David Banner classic.
The last part of Making It Happen is online, via Patrick Vidal and some monstrous pop.
Jonathan Rentschler has a sick-looking new 176-page book coming out that documents the final three years of Love Park.
Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but the latest Bunt episode is with Ryan Gallant.
Russian Bob and Reda put together this retrospective on New York skateboarding’s first videographer, R.B. Umali. Happy 40th R.B. (Rewatch his “Shoot All Skaters” episodes from a few years ago because they’re bomb.)
Boil the Ocean re: Chromeball Interview #100 with Danny Way.
Enjoyed this edit from London’s proverbial T.F., Gillett Square (“Crackba” is a sick nickname), which was outside of Torey’s first apartment in London :) Memories, man!
So do we buy tickets to Prague orrrrrr……?
Lol @ them skate-proofing this hellhole of a spot. Shout out Hjalte. Also, the Marcy Rails are done for. Thanks to Mike Heikkila for the intel.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week: I hate Paul Pierce, but respect the fuck out of Paul Pierce, and now that he’s out of the league as of yesterday, I don’t hate Paul Pierce. Godspeed to one of the great NBA villains.
