Karim on the big screen in front of MSG • Everyone told him they were collectively deleting Instagram from their phones for the weekend for a much-needed social media break — so as not to run the risk of someone spoiling the surprise with an innocent @. He was down ❤️

The always-think-they’re-from-upstate-but-they’re-actually-from-Ontario duo of Joshua Bos and Jake Bos have a new part out via Free Skate Mag with tons of third-eye-open spot choices and even some Puerto Rico footage.

…and Theories has a premiere of Japhey Dow and Tyler Stier’s part in Grains’ Tollway, full of technical manny tricks on spots that probably have no business being used for tech manuals.

The 2024 Quartersnacks Cup — Recap

Video October 16th, 2024 · 12:00 pm · 1

The first year of the QS Cup Presented by Vans went down in Greenpoint, Brooklyn — just steps away from the onetime home of the world famous Autumn Bowl. Sixteen of the world’s best skaters were paired in an eight-race bracket, racing each other around our specially engineered pump track until only one skater was left standing with the trophy.

Limo on 9/17 — Limosine’s ’50 Flower’ Video

It has been an astonishing five years (!) since September 17th carried the promise of new Max Palmer and Cyrus footage. For those who still yearn for those simpler times, Limo’s 9/17 release fills the void.

Have often wondered as to why those curb cut gaps on the outer edges of Union Square have never made it into the city’s rotation of Spots That Really Good Skaters Skate™ — especially with 10+ years of people propping those planter grates up to the pillars — and this video addresses that concern (see above.)

It Begins — Nike SB’s ‘QuickStrike’ Video by Will Miles & Johnny Wilson

Daily News August 12th, 2024 · 1:32 pm · 10

Every month on QS is Antonio month, but this month is REALLY Antonio month.

As you may recall, in 2023, skateboarding collectively decided that its Oscars season — which had otherwise been reserved for October, November and December to mirror the final quarter of Thrasher‘s S.O.T.Y race — now begins in August. When writing about this new phenomenon for QS, Ian Browning imagined “a nineties skater version of the meme about how eating a bag of Takis would overwhelm and kill a child from the 19th century.”

In watching Will Miles and Johnny Wilson’s QuickStrike video for Nike SB — a proverbial “return to the streets” the day after the Olympics ended — it was tough not to hark back on that image.

Imagine a crew of four pimply teenagers in 1993, who had just picked up a copy of Girl’s Goldfish video from their suburban hometown skateshop. They push home as fast as they can, dodging the half-full cans of Yoo-hoo being hurled at them out of a 1990 Honda Civic full of jocks and their cheerleader girlfriends. They stumble inside, push the tape into the VCR, and somehow, QuickStrike plays instead.

What would happen?

Greg Navarro’s follow-up to 2021’s Upper West Side Curb Club, which was filmed entirely at the Soldiers & Sailors Monument, will be The Central Park Flatground Club, a video entirely filmed within the confines of Central Park’s 842 acres — a place not exactly known for its abundance of skateable objects.

“It can be a delicate dance to do something you love for money. I’m sure I could have kept my career going for a while, and it was tempting to do that because I was making really good money, but I felt strongly I needed to do something else.” Jenkem interviewed known goat John Gardner about leaving his pro skateboarding career behind so he could focus on doing mental health counseling. Godspeed, John ❤️

“New York was the one where I was, like, ‘Holy shit, these are skate spots.'” Closer posted up Farran Golding’s interview with Nelly Morville from their last issue on their website.
