It’s Basketball Season Baby!

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that it cannot be done.

“Worst style?” “Just go on the explore page. It’s like fishing with dynamite.” So hyped that The Bunt got the famous scientist, Charles Rivard PhD. on the show.

There’s no way you haven’t seen the new Mark Suciu part where the entire second half is him going off in New York, right? Five-trick line at Reggaeton with a nollie cab noseblunt, the front 3 switch back lip at JFK, etc. Wow.

Gear still available in the webstore. Also available from Lost Art if you are in the U.K. and from Frisco in the Netherlands if you need that European shipping. Should be available from Boneyard Supply for anyone in Australia soon. Our new stuff probably won’t debut during fall fashion week, but it’ll be out sometime in the fall.

Monday links got moved to Tuesday because yesterday was Bronze day.

OMG, a Jersey Dave mini part for NJ Skateshop. He went to Europe!

Boil the Ocean defends Mikey Taylor’s often-maligned tenure on Alien Workshop.

Not far from the Prudential Center in Newark, where this past Sunday’s Street League finals were taking place, the governor of New Jersey, Fred Gall, was hosting the second annual Scum League. (Here’s last year’s installment.)

Scum League participant, Justin Strubing, skates around New York with Kenny Anderson, Zered, etc. and talks about how moving here was a “great” career move.

Another raw footage log from John Wilson and the Beef Patty crew. And here’s “Veggie Patty,” a new montage from the Skate Jawn crew.

It seems like #listicles really began picking up steam on the skateboard-internet, because Mountain Dew launched an entire site devoted to them. Here’s one about the recent flood of new companies.

Does Connor Champion’s North Carolina heritage mean that he is permanently stuck skating to Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up” in every new video part he puts out? Why do Dan Murphy and Justin Brock not suffer from the same problem?

A new 2013 skate video from 1993 featuring many Bronze affiliates.

Did you really think Florida was going to take the rest of 2013 off from being the worst state in the country? Think again.

Congratulations to Pryce and Martin for being the first QS associates to get shouted out on a rap mixtape.
