Adjacency Bias, the Pacific-Northwest skate scene platform, has a new video series examining the opportunities / history created by un-used tennis courts that later become skate spots, called “The Courts.” The first episode is about Portland, Oregon’s court spot.

Nelly Morville made an iPhone edit of a Limo trip to Montreal + more. Fingers crossed Nelly’s YouTube page takes the [dormant] torch from Foghornleghorn for iPhone edits from this crew.

“Antonio Durao’s most recent challenge to skating’s understood limitations suggests a new frontier for the wallride grind, though probably one that requires a certain amount of extradimensional thinking.” Boil the Ocean pontificates on a Ben Colen photo of Antonio where he is smith grinding but also …wallriding 🧠

Pour que tu m’aimes — ‘DEMBANDZ’ by Pagaille

Video & Remixes July 9th, 2024 · 12:00 am · 6

For years, there’s been this “rule” in the QS charter that we won’t host any video over thirty minutes in length. It was a simple way to set a boundary on the amount of time we could spend vetting videos: a few hour-long videos is a pretty big chunk of the workweek, yaknow? But all rules meet an eventual exception, and today, the board of directors signed off on us presenting DEMBANDZ to the QS viewership.

Max Wasungu had mentioned that him and his Pagaille crew had been working on a full-length project — one that would feature his first proper *part* — when we interviewed him back in February. It’s eleven minutes over the “limit,” but it’s so beautifully fried that it didn’t feel right to just cut a part out of it as a standalone thing.

Fresh off his Baker debut in their latest, and a surprise appearance in the Marseille boys’ Canada trip video, Team Horton’s, we caught up with QS-favorite, Max Wasungu, to talk Montreal, Dime, jewelry, and what exactly does a sponsor expect from a skater in 2024.

This Is The Life of a Pop Star — Pl34se J4cki3’s ‘TEAM HORTONS’ Video

A bunch of fashion-forward Frenchmen enter your city and demand to know the location of every manny pad you have.

The result is probably something like Team Horton’s — assuming you live in New York, Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto.

On our final Monday Links round-up of 2023, we mentioned that Fashion Mondaine was the most often [non-Johnny’s Vid] replayed video in the QS office from the past year. It was the first great party vid of 2023, and the first time the phrase “damn, this is a sick Charlie XCX remix” ever crossed my mind, in a skate video or otherwise.

Their latest finds them across the ocean from their native Marseilles, still with peak ~*vibes*~ — effectively a skate video that makes you want to party …after you skate.

“[The Muni benches] were going to get sent it to a yard where they grind up concrete and granite, but we were able to save them. They stacked them up one day and they had left a pallet jack out, so we used it to move it into another area with some smooth ground…So we saved six benches in total and they’re currently in a storage unit.” Brian Panebianco has a new interview with Heckride.

Constantly Thankful made a video recap of Late Nite Stars’ O premiere from a few weeks ago, which includes a pre-main event interview with Alan Bell.

Dalton Palacio and the 700k crew just dropped a promo for their upcoming video, Mahogany. (For all the handwringing that olds do about not “getting” the music that the youngs are listening to — it’s funny how the youngs are just editing their skate videos to …Gang Starr.
