Who’s Allowed To Skate The Crib?

Daily News June 9th, 2025 · 12:00 am

So just in the past four days, the Brooklyn Banks reopened, Hardies threw a skate jam at D7 without incident (well, for the most part…), there’s a “~mini ramp~” at Tompkins, and summer *technically* hasn’t started yet…

Nico from Paris has a new bro cam edit out on YouTube that covers a trip to New York + Copenhagen, with an extended Paris section at the end. Probably one of the best places to see Kevin Rodrigues out in the wild …on the internet. Also includes Antonio, E.J., Hjalte + the bros.

A 420-foot nollie lipslide is essentially the same runtime as a 2025 rap song. Also posted this on the IG story only to have people be like, “He’s using rails!” I think you guys might be missing the point of a 420-foot nollie lipslide…

“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.

Pittsburgh spots make ConEd Banks look like MACBA. Mini ramps with tree branches for coping, banks that need ten sheets of plywood to get to, and cracks obfuscated by six-pack holders all in Justin Funk’s “SCORCHER” video, presented by our friends over at Vague.

“A split second after I took that photo both of those cats, like, mauled Aaron. He was trying to hold them together and it just wasn’t working. They scratched him so hard he was bleeding out of his forearm. He was over rounding them up, like, ‘I don’t think it’s gonna happen…'” Skate Bylines interviewed the mind behind Heckride for some B.T.S. stories and inspo talk around his photo book of skaters and their pets. Wishbone and Hashbrown are really good pet names.

World Touring Still Pouring

Daily News December 16th, 2024 · 12:00 am

You know how our twisted reality had to adopt the widespread use of “not The Onion” because real-life gradually surpassed parody? Sometimes it feels like these 2020s skate spots are experiencing the same thing, only relative to their resemblance to a Brother Merle illustration. You really gotta hand it to skateboarders for continuing try to and make the Chinatown Banks “work” for 20+ years.

Still got some loose holiday deals on the webstore 🛍

“What is this fucking website called? ‘Quartersnacks’? We don’t have time for this.” Farran Golding spoke to Ian Browning for the first episode of the Skate Bylines Podcast, about his 2022 profile of the L.E.S. Skatepark for QS, on the occasion of the park’s tenth birthday.

“Main Character” is a tightly-knit upstate crew video, filmed largely around the Rochester, New York zone. Shout out to to all our people who have warrants from Cornell campus police.

Zander Mitchell and Jake Todd made a new part for Theories’ urethane imprint, Dialtone Wheels. Tons of Philly footy, a lil’ bit of New York. Those Museum lines are nuts.

What a week. Labor announced that it was closing its Brooklyn location, DiVincenzo and Randle got traded, aaaaannnndddd the mayor got indicted.

ICYMI: We dropped a preview of the 2024 QS Cup last week. More details coming this week :)

Diego Najera, Brian Reid and Spencer Hamilton come together for the new Grand Collection edit. It passes as a blip in the edit itself, but everyone agrees that Brian Reid casually mannualing up the bank and over the barrier at the Front Street ledge makes zero sense in physics terms, right?

James from Labor is the latest guest on the Living Proof podcast + German Nieves was the latest guest on The Nine Club.
