Speak Softly & Carry A Big Snack

Congrats to Mr. Nick Michel for winning the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup 🏆 and to everyone who came out on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to make this an annual event, so see everyone next year :) Full recap vid will go live later this week.

The Rent Is Too Damn High is a KCDC Skateshop video by Abi Teixeira, released in commemoration of the shop closing up its N 3rd Street location after having been a fixture in Williamsburg for two decades — long before the neighborhood was what you know it as today. Features a wide net of KCDC’s riders throughout the years. KCDC is continuing online operations as they look toward the future.

Labor’s Brooklyn location is having a big sale as they consolidate down to just the Manhattan location. Be sure to check their IG for abridged BK store hours before you make the trek though.

Maybe it’s the interview in the middle, but this has big 2000’s video magazine New York montage-vibes (yes, once upon a time, that was a rare thing for #skatemedia): PFP videographer Mike Sassano has a ten-minute New York montage over on the Transworld site with footage from Jeremy Murray, Matt Militano, Niels Bennett and more.

See You At The Cup

Public RSVP for the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup is now live. Entrance is still subject to venue capacity, but RSVP is required for entry. Be sure to fill out a bracket of your predictions and share it with us on social media 🏆

The temperatures outside are dropping, so threw some shorts on sale in the webstore for the crib or your Miami trip or whatever 🛍

📍 Added Satan’s Drano’s “HESKWON” video, filmed entirely at the Koreantown Banks / federal courthouse in downtown L.A. to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map, and it’s probably the most unhinged entry to date: a onetime two-second bust spot that got overrun by skateboarders promoting a hot sauce company on the weekends with an ender where a skater slappies a curb and a dude flys off a ten-foot drop on a dirt bike over him into the street straight toward the cameraman? That’s Hollywood, baby!

A Tim Achille part opens up William Wishard’s Jersey scene video, Just For Kicks. Includes a shared Andy Bautista and German Nieves section at the end.

Linklopolis

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.

A Bad Ledge & A Plate of Salmon

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 🧠

Summer Starts in August

The rumors are true, yes. We’re bringing The Quartersnacks Cup back this year, but with Vans. It’ll be more public. More info coming soon ;)

Shaquille Waite put together a thorough initial #tfreport of the re-done ground with his crew. It’s so …green! The fakie frontside flip over the bump-to-bar was nuts.

“Skaters who think they smoke a lot of weed have nothing on hockey players.” Una Farrar is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series — except it’s about $120 Canadian! (Somehow, it’s actually like $135CAD…)
