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.

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.
Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)
