#tfreport via Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” edit
The mayor got indicted, the Knicks are good enough that you’ve barely heard the words “J*mes D*lan” as of late, and LaGuardia airport is somehow the best airport in America? Who even knows what’s going on anymore, but we’re trying our goddam best over here at QS HQ.
Previously: 25-16.
QS webstore deals continue into Cyber Monday baby! 🛍 Got kicks for under $50, some tees left, beanies, caps, etc. Thanks for the support as always :) $5 flat-rate shipping within the U.S.
Triple or Nothing, Jeff Cecere‘s sequel to This Is A Window and Mind How You Go, is premiering at The Woods (where else?) on Saturday, December 14th @ 8 P.M. Dedicated to Max Maffucci ❤️ Full teaser for the video here + full flyer here.
Do Less did a 14-minute video profile of Jenkem with Ian, talking about the history of the company, the pre-Instagram era, and how the North Star of starting anything on your own is finding what’s missing from the perspective of a fan, which is great advice for any discipline.

Elisa Martini released her debut part for KCDC Skateshop via Skate Jawn. A fire noseslide, all New York clips, with some guest clips from the rest of the KCDC crew. Fantastic work.
Stephan Singh has a quick new montage of his crew. Really dope to see people still getting clips at Big Screen despite all odds.
“There’s a new emphasis on personality, and people want to know who the person is and the context of that person. It’s kind of funny, like we’re swinging really far into this abstract realm of not caring how good skaters are.” Jenkem has a great interview with QS-favorite, Zak Anders. Favorite skate interview in a minute.

Nothing more beautiful than seeing today’s brightest minds outsmart the skatestoppers installed by yesterday’s dimmest. “Hold On To Those Gifts” is the latest edit from Neema Joorabchi and his crew (Jasper Stieve, Noah Singleton, Zac Gavin, et al.)
Chase Walker made a five-minute edit of leftover footy from Late Nite Stars’ O video. Def some Zak Anders clips in there that exceed most people’s criteria of “throwaway” though ;)
John Valenti has a new video out entitled Free Time. Includes parts from Dustin Eggeling, Cody Lucas, Taylor Nawrocki, Chris Jata, James Sayres (switch flip back noseblunt?!) + others. Heavy on the New York footy, but tons of Euro travel as well :)
“This took 6 four hour sessions, 8 gallons of lacquer, 4 sets of rails, 3 grinder blades, 2 custom longboards, 1 law enforcement evasion tactic and 20+ hours of labor.” — Satan. Kyle Walsh on the boardslide, Alex Papke on the photo for Satan’s Drano.
Do not forget to enter the Blue Park Obstacle Design Contest that we are hosting with Tenant! All entries due by EOD this Friday, February 2 🔵
🚨🍝 We have a Mommy’s Little Meatball tee sighting! 🍝🚨 Germany’s Irregular skate mag made a very fire Summer Trip To New York edit featuring Denny Pham, Daniel Ledermann (doing the best backside flip imaginable, naturally), Nassim Lachhab and more. The whole thing really picks up a few octaves towards the end, too.
The city announced a partnership with The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation) that will renovate objectively two of the worst skateparks in New York (the one inside Brower and this one in The Bronx that some people from The Bronx don’t even know exists), plus build new ones in Soundview and Prospect Park. Waiting on that phase two announcement for the Banks though…
