World Touring Still Pouring

You know how our twisted reality had to adopt the widespread use of “not The Onion” because real-life gradually surpassed parody? Sometimes it feels like these 2020s skate spots are experiencing the same thing, only relative to their resemblance to a Brother Merle illustration. You really gotta hand it to skateboarders for continuing try to and make the Chinatown Banks “work” for 20+ years.

Still got some loose holiday deals on the webstore 🛍

“What is this fucking website called? ‘Quartersnacks’? We don’t have time for this.” Farran Golding spoke to Ian Browning for the first episode of the Skate Bylines Podcast, about his 2022 profile of the L.E.S. Skatepark for QS, on the occasion of the park’s tenth birthday.

“Main Character” is a tightly-knit upstate crew video, filmed largely around the Rochester, New York zone. Shout out to to all our people who have warrants from Cornell campus police.

Zander Mitchell and Jake Todd made a new part for Theories’ urethane imprint, Dialtone Wheels. Tons of Philly footy, a lil’ bit of New York. Those Museum lines are nuts.

“Editors are busy, and like I said, mired down in nonsense. It sucks, but it’s the state of the media.” Skate Bylines has a mega-feature about pitching articles, features, etc. to skate publications, featuring insights from many names who have been published on QS before. [Gonna use this space to apologize to anyone whose pitch we may have not got to in the past. It is never a personal thing, and it’s truly an honor getting a pitch from someone wanting to spend their time to contribute to QS each and every time.]

Boil the Ocean makes the case for all the inevitable S.O.T.Y. contenders.

“So it’s kind of funny that, you know, the quote unquote ‘underground’ doesn’t really exist in skateboarding anymore because everything’s so well seen. You can’t really even say we’re an ‘underground’ brand or anything like that. We’re just doing what we’ve always done.” Village Psychic interviewed the crew behind Traffic Skateboards, on the occasion of their new video.

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.

Weekend Viewing — Hjalte Halberg’s Dancer Part

Daily News April 5th, 2024 · 3:38 pm · 2

Hjalte Halberg just dropped a short and sweet part to announce a new drop from his brand, Dancer. (If you’re uninitiated to the Dancer universe, Slam City Skates interviewed Hjalte about it last May.)

Like Ville before him, Mr. Halberg seems to be releasing the leftovers from the last days of his decade-plus Polar tenure — clearing the proverbial backlog of the logos no longer paying his bills. (As pointed out on the ‘Gram yesterday, we’re a long way off from the days when you can skate for one company, and comfortably shoot photos with visible conflicts of interest emblazoned across the bottom of your board.)

“It’s ironic and sad that a culture whose activity became popular enough to have space allotted for its own built environments would go on to design spaces according to its own tastes that would then become the worst environments for the further development and continuation of the culture.” Dave Caddo got on the Substack wave: Skait Brane explores how to better use street spots as a guiding light in how skateparks are designed. His latest is about how Pyramid Ledges succeeds at being a great place for skateboarding in a way that your average out-ledge at a skatepark does not.

“Once I started skating Pulaski, there was just simple shit that became way more important. Things like going faster, doing things properly, you didn’t have to flip into everything but you had to grind the ledge a certain way.” Skate Jawn has an interview with Carpet Company rider, Rashad Murray.
