As you’ve likely heard, our buddy Nick Michel got the Thrasher cover next month.
We love Nick.
He’s one of our favorite skaters.
In fact, we’ve been on three Vans x QS trips with Nick: to Sicily (2019), Majorca (2022) and Buenos Aires (2023.)
Nick always got really good footage on those trips.
So, to celebrate his cover, here is a raw reel of all Nick’s clips from those “For Nothing” trips.
Because we love Nick, and wish him the world.
Thanks to everyone who grabbed a piece of Snacks in Progress merch. We still have free shipping on all orders over $50 for the time being 📦 Shout out to the deli men who keep our lives running 24 hours.
Free has a premiere of Garrett Boozer’s opening part in Matty Hilzenrath’s all-NJ video, A $20 Of Regular. All those Peaches lines + 5050 flip back tail + the flip back noseblunt bonk on the sewer cap + the fuckin’ nose manny nollie flip on the goddamn grate bridge = one of the best Jersey parts in recent memory. We’ll be premiering a part from it this week, and hardcopies of the full thing are due out soon.
Jamie Reyes has been inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame 👑
Civil Skateshop’s first-ever full-length video is now live. Filmed enitrely in Rhode Island, our country’s smallest state with no shortage of crust and the occasional slab of inviting marble ;)
We obvs don’t know every skate crew in the country, but from a mediated standpoint, it’s hard to think of a crew as aggressively productive as Duplex. The fact that they do it all just off Saturdays and Sundays is INSANE. Our buddy Greg Navarro flew down to Florida to tag along with them and document how it all gets done for Thrasher‘s new “Lifers” series.
Bronze 56k dropped an edit to push their NB# shoe, starring Jordan Trahan, Shaun Paul and Marcello Campanello — with a cameo by the venerable William McFeely. Huge year for hitting Flushing in the snow.
The South Beach Macy’s ledge ranks as something that — despite walking past it every Miami trip ever — we’re perfectly ok never skating. But Zoogie and the crew always get the most out of this innocuous high, beveled ledge with no end. Wolff’s ender is dope.

Really enjoyed this twenty-minute dad cam edit from the Quartersnacks Cup. The angle on the last races between Nick and John is especially great for a different perspective from the other HD or iPhone videos you may have seen.
2024 QS Cup Champion, Nick Michel, has a quick new part out for Thunder Trucks, which features a beautiful full cab, among other things.
F.A. and Converse hosted a $2,000 Game of S.K.A.T.E. Invitational at Tompkins two weeks back, and Greg Navarro covered it for Jenkem. Obviously, Tony Hawk won.
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.
