If you have been reading QS for some time, you’ve no doubt heard us echo the sentiment that your friends are your favorite skaters six million times — probably even in an intro to an old Five Favorite Parts. Vitória’s list is emblematic of that principle. All of our superheroes need that layer of humanity, yaknow? ;)

The other day, it was brought to our attention at our daily 10 A.M. that we’ve done one of these with Johnny [Wilson]. We’ve done an interview with Mitchell [Wilson]. We’ve even done a Five Faves with Josh [no relation Wilson]! And we’ve never done any formal, front-page QS content with Andrew — no doubt many people’s favorite Wilson. To remedy this egregious oversight, we got him on the phone to talk about another Andrew’s part from 2010 ❤ ️

Five Favorite Parts is back.
If you ever wondered what possesses someone to, say, 5050 the bench on the Houston median depicted above, or boardslide the knobbed rail on Forsyth Street while everyone else is hurling themselves down the stairs — you can rest assured that the answer is a crossroad between Anthony Pappalardo and Jason Byoun ;)

“I think I was in the best mindset of my skateboarding career – filming that part with Brandon.” This is what Chandler responded when asked how he distilled his skating into his sick new Q is for Cow part.
“Sponsor stuff was going on, and even after proving to myself with ‘Castle Freak‘ that I was pro on my own standards, it felt good to take all of my footage and not have it in any industry thing, and have it go to a homie video that made that much more from the heart.”
To see where Chandler’s heart is at, I had him rundown his favorite parts. And you know what, it seems like his heart is in the right place.

If you watch Pedro’s two-minute iPhone part that Thrasher posted a few days ago, it’s hard not to wonder what inspires his eye for spots (and to continue putting his back through those slams.) Turns out the answer — like for so many others — is old Grant Taylor and Cardiel parts ❤️
