Lambo To Sombrero

History’s three most important skaters.

The goat was on The Bunt last week 🐐 (The goat is Zered.)

Screamed at the screen on the Terminator ollie attempt. (27th + 1st for those whom “Terminator” might not mean anything.) Australia’s Hoddle Skateboards ripped through Toronto, Montreal and New York to bring home an exceptionally fun trip edit by Majick Templeton. Shaun Paul does the Mariano Mouse credits trick, the boys skate a ton of diamond-plate in New York rather than the obvious stuff, and is that the first Times Square trick since the pandemic footy deluge from there?

Skate Jawn interviewed our dog and future beekeeper, Brian Scherer. (Loosely-related reminder for everyone to read the 2018 New Yorker article about the guy in Red Hook who manufactured Maraschino cherries and what happened after the local honey turned red 🐝)

‘WHO SAID WHAT?’ — The Latest Video From Milan’s Rat Ratz Crew

Video April 9th, 2024 · 12:00 am · 3

Approximately 5 billion crew edits have passed through the QS front page over the years. Some crews stick together while many don’t; others splinter off, morphing into hybrids with other crews. The first Rat Ratz video to catch the eye of the QS newsroom was in early 2020. In 2024, their crew is grown up and perhaps more tight-knit than ever, spreading their wings beyond the Milan plaza for which they have been waving the flag since they were kids — and into the plazas of Paris, London and New York. Everyone’s flick carries more loft, everyone’s pop has manned-up, and the technicality of the tricks they hold over the grate ledge on their home court has compounded tenfold. Imagine what Rat Ratz 10 will be like!

“There also might be a slight difference in the value of technicality. I think a nollie crook means more to us out here than it may out west to you.” Heckride has a #longform interview with the man behind the lens of many of your favorite clips, Paul Young.

“Then I counted Tyshawn’s part and he only has 32 tricks in Blessed which was his S.O.T.Y. part. It made me realize that it’s not necessarily the quantity of tricks that makes a part good.” Korahn Gayle chats about some of his biggest influences for Slam City Skates’ “Visuals” series.

Can’t imagine many local residents are bummed about this, but something for the “Summer Trip to New York” video-makers to keep in mind: you’re not gonna have an easy time getting an Airbnb in New York.

The New Full-Length From Nike SB — Will Miles’ ‘7 Ball’ Is Live

Daily News June 22nd, 2023 · 12:56 pm · 5

7 Ball is the latest full-length from Nike SB and U.K. videographer, Will Miles. It feels like a continuation of the best bits from the Jacob Harris-helmed Trust Fall that dropped back in 2019, grouping the best-fitting riders from the colossus that is the 2023 SB team into a cohesive project. Everyone here feels like they actually enjoy skating with one another, rather than the “showcase” vibe that often happens when companies try to stuff their entire team into one project — to pretty much the detriment of everything. (The plus side of shorter attention spans today: it’s probably a good thing that we’re past the era of Nothing But The Truth and Away Days.)

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something off the webstore sale last week. Should be caught up on shipping by end of today 📦💨

The NPR Story on the A.V.E. bench spills a bit of the secret on how the bench got to Richmond, Virginia at the end, straight from…the Temple University police. Bravo to skateboarders, for always figuring it out. If you aren’t already aware, @ave_bench on Instagram has been tracking the world tour at every turn.
