Yacht Rock on The Sesh

Daily News May 27th, 2025 · 12:00 am

Nelly Morville en route to the throne of best web edits of 2025. The spirit of Foghornleghornn and the sensibilities of today, plus a Logan Lara tech god clip, as a treat. If these don’t want to maker you skate with your friends, you need new friends.

“It seemed like the normal thing to do would be to pick one of those, something from my childhood. I wanted to pick a newer video instead. This video is one that has a lot of the things that I love about skate videos. You know that they’re all friends, that they skate together, and that they really tried to make the best parts they could.” — Andrew Reynolds on John’ Vid + more from Slam City Skates’ “Offerings” series.

Added Session Skate Mag‘s “SKALI” video, filmed entirely at “Skalitzer Straße” in Berlin — a flatbar lover’s paradise — to the QS One-Spot part map 📍 (Plus belatedly added Paul Young’s “Summer Of Philly Step” video filmed entirely at the BP Step in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.) Five more parts until we are at 100 one-spot parts!

Tony Hawk skating @ the Brooklyn Banks, 2025 📍

The NYCxDesign Festival is hosting is hosting a public presentation and discussion about the upcoming remodeling of Brooklyn Borough Hall. It looks like it’s mainly concerning the parking lot-adjacent zone by the Shake Shack, not the main plaza we all skate, which was renovated in 2017. It is on Thursday, May 15 @ 6 P.M. at 209 Joralemon Street. More info here.

Tech lord Jeremy Murray has a new, mostly New York part out on Free. Fakie shuv fakie manny hardflip out on C-Benches has to be on the shortlist for most insane things done at that spot.

The Quartersnacks webstore is now live with spring goods ✨ Includes a lot of much-requested reissues of classic items (Diner & Lenox tees, Track Club crews, etc.) Also available at local skateshops worldwide. Photo via our friends @ Laquer. Thanks for your continued support in helping us do what we do ❤️

“Salvaging the ruins, slabs of granite were shipped across the ocean, turning rubble into something both relic and resurrected. These materials were then integrated into a new spot, giving rise to a form of skateboarding ‘spolia,’ [which] refers to materials that are salvaged from one structure and reintegrated into another whether for ideological reasons, practical purposes or both.” Skate Bylines has a #longform piece on the increasingly common phenomenon of classic skate spots being resurrected.

Our friends at Duplex down in Florida have a new edit up on the Thrasher site, and they continue to find more and more spots in their backyard. Jace’s opening clip is insane.

Adding Bobby DeKezyer’s “BOBCBC” part, filmed entirely at the CBC building in downtown Toronto (croski!), to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 Shout out to Tomas and Bobby for actually making skateboarding look incredibly difficult, even for someone who is …incredibly good at it. We need that dose of reality from time to time ;)

Spring QS goods arriving at shops worldwide now. On our webstore soon ❤️

A roll-through of the restored Big Banks section of the Brooklyn Banks.

Blaine Williams’ new video is called Normal and it rips. All New York, with a wide net of spots and personalities. Jermaine Whittaker’s closing part is crazy (that opening trick!), and honestly, that one dude doing a half cab crook on the middle bench on Marcy [as opposed to the end… like everyone else] to start a line is one of the most impressive things in the video.

Kader shared a vlog of him in New York, Portland, and Philly by Tristan Warren, which includes some B.T.S. warm-ups. The tweak on those switch ollies over the Soho barrier is insane.

“Wasser has his ax, this is mine.” — DJ Duzit • 📷 via @homiesnetwork

“Creative = good? It depends a bit on the definition… If I had to choose, I would prefer simple and functional in form – creative and high-quality in implementation and look, with attention to detail. When in doubt, I prefer simple and reduced – but well thought out and with intention.” Bubble has a roundtable with a bunch of skatepark designers discussing how you balance keeping a skatepark “creative” and still functional. There’s a solid 10% of QS readers sharpening their knives for every designer of a local park that has only curved ledges and no straight ones…

Diet starts Monday. Last one I swear. Maybe one more. R.I.P. Mambo Bar.

Nelly Moreville posted up another iPhone montage. Heavy on skating in the snow.
