The homie got doored on a Citibike the other night by an apologetic Williamsburg drunk, and broke his foot. And in Andrew and Spitfire’s new collab video, “Spitfye,” Josh Wolff’s opening line …woooof. Fuck. Not to get all mom on everyone, but nobody wants to be laid up all summer after getting smoked for not paying enough attention on the road, so yaknow, keep an eye out there. Not everyone’s getting well-wishing from Jeff for a miraculous recovery like Wolff.
Moneyline is the new Miami scene video from Justin Stout, the videographer behind past Andrew projects Rascal and Yastle.
The vid is anchored by heavy appearances from Josh Wolff, Rezza Honarvar, Victor Lustig and Henry Barco, alongside a wide net of familiar faces to anyone who’s gone down to skate Miami in recent years. And as those visitors can attest, stacking for a video in Miami month after month, year after year takes work — fixing spots, keeping an eye open nuggets unturned, and knowing that the best new spot might be some shit that only lasts for a week before construction changes it forever. A Miami video from a few years ago looks nothing like one from today. They skate that marble Brickell fountain that was all over videos in the post-COIVD era zero times throughout this entire video. White blocks? Zero. That gap into the street that was all over the Supreme Miami video? Nope.
So of course you gotta skip town once in while ;)
(And don’t you wish all security guards were like that guy?)

Jiro, Pero, Suciu and the rest of the Habitat team star in a New York edit before cutting to a new Kaue Cossa part that’s also mostly New York-based. That Sombrero trick was insane.
Today, we are proud to present “AUTO,” the latest release from Hopps Skateboards by Tristan Mershon.
It’s a check-in from the Hopps team that opens with the skateboard-equivalent of a $50,000 half court shot on behalf of QS-favorite Dustin Eggeling, and includes appearances from QS-favorite Mark Del Negro (who makes up for his lackluster outing against Jersey Dave in S.K.A.T.E.N.E.R.D. with actual …skating!), QS-favorite Kyler Garrison, ageless QS-favorite Joel Meinholz, and eternal QS-favorite who is also ageless, Jahmal Williams.
We made this tee in the nascent days of QS merch, commemorating the 2003 blackout, which happened exactly 20 years ago, today. That August 14th, everyone was packed inside Tompkins for one of those classic T.F. sessions where it felt like everyone who mattered was within that fence. It took us about an hour or so to realize the power had gone out. Only two years removed from 9/11, everybody’s mind raced to the worst hypothetical conclusions imaginable. To ease everyone’s anxiety, Billy Rohan reminded us that “Tompkins is actually the safest place in the world right now.” He was right.
Devin Sweat has a name tailor-made for R&B stardom. But instead of singing loverman ballads and waiting for a Drake feature, he has a really sick new part for Labor filmed entirely in New York. Love the elusive City College benches clip.
The brains at Always Do What You Should Do collaborated with Noah on some gear, and released a New York trip edit / Three Up Three Down pilgrimage to celebrate the capsule.
