On the heels of Nikolai’s Venture part from last month, we figured it’d be a good time to hit him to log one of these. We have finally arrived at the tipping point generationally to where the Sour team begins to get credit for the prolific influence they’ve had over the last now-almost-ten years of skate videos. Antwuan Dixon might also be gaining on Jake in Mind Field‘s marketshare as the most name-checked part of the series as well…

We noticed how much real-life connections and childhood viewing habits have informed Five Favorite Parts — with the latter often offering up the left-field selections. Although vert superstardom was not high among the collective youthful aspirations of the QS office, if we ran a vote, then a ledge of any shape or size would undoubtedly emerge as our preferred obstacle of choice. That shared ideal, our sympathy for ledges gone AWOL, and her recent output, make Hayley Wilson an overdue guest here.
Had a lightbulb moment when Gus sent us the above photo as a headliner option for his Five Faves to do one with Frank — not unlike how Wes Kremer’s headline photo lead to the Nick Michel edition. Brain cells! So cool.
It turns out that videos from his youth are what keep Frank young in 2025, but maybe that’s a bit of the case for everyone though, right?

Following the surprise release of Gus’ “VH18” part last month, we figured we’d give you a surprise and run down the things that make him tick ;)
Anyone else have or had a pet with a skate-inspired name?

One of the most requested installments, for obvious reasons.
And it’s also for those reasons that we included a lil’ bonus for the legion of requesters.
Safe to safe, Max is a DLX head.
