Marcello Campanello by Matt Price 📷, jacked from the 18 East Copenhagen zine. Might be, idk, the “summeriest” skate photo in recent memory, and that felt appropriate as this one closes out.

Tuesday because Labor Day, etc. ☀️

Connor Champion and Josh Velez share a quick lil’ Barcelona part for Grand Collection.

“All I cared about was money…and then I jumped on a skateboard. And I was like, dude, I forgot how much fun this was. What the fuck was I doing? All that fucking money did nothing for me.” V Magazine is probably the least likely place you’d expect to find a profile of Eugene Kang and Terminal Skateshop, the shop he runs in Washington Heights out of his sixth floor walk-up apartment building, but it’s beautiful.

Spring Over — Ben Tenner in Copenhagen

Ah yes, Copenhagen.

Once upon a time, this media outlet’s entire summer brand was dedicated to traveling there. In recent years, it’s been tougher to wind up in Denmark 2x in two months. We get to go other places — it’s fine. (Also, we were there in ’22, it’s not that dire…)

But if there was anyone you could choose to send to Copenhagen in your place, it’d probably have to be someone classically trained on grey plaza ledges with harsh winters barking at their heels, right? Someone who perfected their craft at Eggs, maybe? It’d probably be helpful if they had a Kalis-ian pair of fakie flips to show the world, right?

Well yeah: our friends at Eighteen East had the same idea. They sent QS-favorite Ben Tenner out there to weave some lines, and earn a bonus on exemplary varial heelflip form.

Rocks In The Burritos

“For the kids coming out of rough homes, for those grappling against doubt and depression, pressures real or felt, the battles can have a kind of seductiveness. The way they can grip and blot out nearly every other single thing, to the point of blacking out. The fulfillment and release of actually prevailing can be almost secondary… even faintly deflating.” Boil the Ocean wrote about skateboarding. And Marc Johnson.

Greenpoint Palace is hosting a premiere of the new Polar video, You Got It My Boy Jamie, this Thursday, June 4th @ 8:30 P.M. 21+. 206 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn. Flyer here.

Congrats to The Bunt on ten years 🤝

Damn, remember when Tyshawn switch ollied one of these things from flat, and then morons in the comments (not on QS, but elsewhere) were like, “Yeah, nah, actually the corner is kinda bent, so…” Anyway, shout out to the gate challenge.

New Futures and Distortions in Time — The Mechanics of Skate Magazine Covers

Features & Interviews May 19th, 2026 · 12:00 am · 2

🔑 Introduction, Interviews & Collages by Farran Golding

Walking around chairs wrapped in merlot fabric, the waiters of L’Entracte Brasserie in Paris went about their morning shift, placing silverware and wine glasses, unfazed by the camera flashes of photographer Alex Pires.

The restaurant faces the Palais Garnier Opera House, a building that is almost two centuries old, and as iconic as other Parisian landmarks such as Notre-Dame and Sacré-Coeur. Outside the opera house, an image of the Palais Garnier’s façade was depicted on a temporary wall, producing an illusion the French call “trompe-l’œil.” It directed visitors to entrances above and below a stairway. Two hours before the venue opened at around 7 A.M. on a damp, December 2024 day, Román González threw himself into the temporary façade of the Palais, clinging onto a frontside wallride down the stairs.

Marcello & Friends in Rome — 18 East’s “Sette Mezzo” Video

We had hit Marcello about his availability for something completely unrelated this past fall, and he mentioned he was in Rome. Now, like most Americans, if you’ve been to Rome, and stayed in the historic center that most tourists stay in, you quickly come to the conclusion that yeah, maybe Rome isn’t the best city for skate spots. (By contrast, in Turin or Milan, you can find spots pretty easy… Florence and central Naples, yeah nah.)

“You’re going on a skate trip …to Rome? Interesting?” seems like a common reaction to many of us who don’t know any better, but it turns out we’re all idiots.

Watching this edit, our first reaction was, “these spots are …in Rome?!” Turns out a lot of things change when you leave the historic tourist center. Shocking, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
