Munich Report — SHRN Skateshop’s ‘HYPERBOLIC’ Video

Video April 30th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 1

Beyond their oh-so-2000’s shop name [abbreviation for “Soo Hot Right Now”] and them being one of the first stores in Germany to carry QS gear, we’ve always felt like kindred spirits with Munich’s finest shop. We’re both descendants of what scholars call “The Blog Era,” during which we synthesized the conversations of our wider skater social circle — centered around skateboarding but also touched on life, sports, partying etc. — and created an online publication out of it. In the time since, SHRN parlayed their weblog into a physical store; we became the thriving newsroom that you see before you today.

Time After Time — ‘BUG OFF’ by Hamburg’s BUG Crew

Video May 22nd, 2024 · 12:00 am

Watching a crew evolve through the lens of a homie video is one of skateboarding’s greatest vicarious features. Whether it is witnessing the growth of the Budapest scene in the Rios Crew’s videos, watching Homies Network become some of the best skaters in New York, or Rat Ratz graduating from a scratched fisheye and 360p videos into YouTube platinum territory — there’s something great about watching progression unfold over a proper succession of videos, rather than a scattershot of social media posts.

We first ran a BUG video in September 2022, in a co-presentation with our friends from Place. GET BUG was infectiously fun, and helped fill a bit of a void, because like, wtf did we know about the Hamburg skate scene? And since first tuning in, it’s been so sick to see Willow Voges Fernandes hold down the opening part in a major shoe company’s marquee video on Thrasher, or watching Theophilus Löffler carry a part all on his own on Free.

The BUG crew out of Hamburg, Germany first came onto our radar via our friends at Place mag out in Berlin, when we co-presented their Get Bug video a year ago.

Their latest is Bug Overseas, which finds them beginning in their home of Hamburg, then making it out to Berlin, Rotterdam and New York for the obligatory pilgrimage to our city’s most sacred site: Mambo Bar.

Weekend Viewing: ‘Get Bug’ Out of Hamburg, Germany

Daily News September 9th, 2022 · 12:00 pm · 1

For all the interconnected-ness of the global skate crew ecosystem — one that allows you to, say, keep up with what’s going on in the Budapest scene for almost a decade, or know who the up-and-coming skaters out of Milan are — there are obvious blindspots. It is no stretch to say that the average skate nerd knows less about the scene and skaters in Germany than in Spain, France or the U.K. The QS office is also no exception to this oversight, which is why today, we are co-presenting a new video out of Germany with our friends at the Berlin-based Place magazine.

“Every interview cemented that yeah, he accomplished a lot but it was about skateboarding and that actually meant something that he fostered: growing a community by supporting people you believe in.” Anthony Pappalardo the Writer wrote a bit about Huf’s impact on him as an east coaster with teen eyes on San Francisco in the nineties.

TWS rounded up the words and tributes from fellow pro skaters about the influence Keith Hufnagel had on their lives ♥
