Lotta Brodies, One Ledge

Daily News October 28th, 2024 · 12:00 am · 1

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” video is a slice of life montage into what it is like to spend hours on end at the refurbished Tompkins Square Park, circa 2024. Could basically be VR. That backflip guy has to go back and get that. #tfreport.

“I don’t make something unless I really like it and think it’s fire and cool and I want to wear it — or I think it’ll sell. Usually the shit that I think is the best and all my friends think is the coolest doesn’t do well. Then the shit that I’m like, ‘Whatever, this is bullshit’ — it sells out.” A tale as old as time. Village Psychic interviewed Myles Underwood, the mind behind Fuck This Industry.

Theories shared Josh Feist’s part from Traffic’s It’s Completely Fine video. Heavy on the Philly clips, lots of insanely crustaceous spots, and those tricks from the black marble rock onto the cement ledge are wild.

See You At The Cup

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.

God’s Hands — Duplex’s ‘SPOT DOCTOR’ Video

Daily News March 6th, 2024 · 12:00 am

As any mogul will tell you: the key to productivity is a fat spot book. How small you can make the gap between “where should we skate?” and an answer will be the secret indicator of where you end up in life. People must see you about your business, commandeering an iPhone full of spot pins, and tell their children, “Now that looks like someone who’s going places!”

The Duplex dudes didn’t arrive at the luxury of being able to drop a whole other video between an oft-recurring Thrasher series — the most recent of which dropped three weeks ago — through sheer force or willpower. No. They backlogged every potentially skateable hunk of sun-cracked cement in the southern half of Florida to make the aforementioned gap as small as possible. (Never considered Florida much of a haven for cobblestone spots, but yeah, they found those, too.)

Idk if we’re reading too much into a video called “Spot Doctor,” but it rarely ever feels like they spend much time retreading old ground from past videos.

Kicked Out of Nowhere

Scumco seems to be shutting its doors. “Fading into oblivion” is how they worded it. Boards + more are on sale on their webstore if you’re looking for one last ride ❤️

Better late than never! Thrasher uploaded the edit of Tyshawn’s S.O.T.Y. trip to Australia from last year after it being stuck in music rights limbo forever. The footage of the backside flip from the cover is so nuts. Co-starring Will Jones.

Tipping Points is a sick upstate New York-based video by Taryn Ward with parts from Japhey Dow, Justin + Nate Grzechowiak, Jonny Goupil, and more.

Nico Marti made a 35-minute bro-cam video in the Krooked Gnaughty mode alongside his crew filming for Late Nite Stars’ O video.
