The Quartersnacks Sports Desk — Back To The Banks 2025 Preview

We got our correspondents — Joel Popeteur, Big Hen Dawg and Father Bop — back in the studio for the first time this year to give a preview of this weekend’s upcoming Back To The Banks contest, which, as you likely know, is the first of its kind since 2008.

There is $10k in prize money on the line, with five different obstacle zones that’ll be moved through during the contest’s 1-5 P.M. runtime.

Our hosts break down the best of what’s gone down since the Big Banks reopened this summer, give a peak of what they’d like to see, and finally lay to rest whether the renovated-for-skating Brooklyn Banks are a skate spot or a skatepark.

Time On Our Hands is a full-length New York video from Abi Teixeira featuring many familiar faces, great make-you-wanna-skate-with-your-friends vibes, and some good tunes. Decent bit of Brianna Delaney footage, too :)

Krooked’s “Don’t Stop Featuring Una Farrar” dropped just as the Thrasher staff clocked out of the office last Friday. Basically an Una part + cameos from the rest of the team, Frank Gerwer bringing tre shuvs back, and the first official bits of Andrew Wilson footy in a Krooked project :)
