Sports Are Fleeting, Hell Rides Are Eternal

Jake Keenan was the victim of a horrific act of violence on July 4th, and was hospitalized for the injuries he sustained as a result. If you have the means, please donate to Jake’s family’s GoFundMe to assist with medical costs. Anything helps ❤️

We are hosting a wallride jam with Adidas at Blue Park tomorrow, Tuesday, July 21 @ 5 P.M. until sundown. Cash for tricks 💰 A handful of Adi riders. Same vibe as the long ledge jam, but yaknow …on a wall. Inspired by the long-knobbed Graham & Grand spot a few blocks away.

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.

Weekend Viewing: “CREASED,” A Johnny Wilson Video For Nike SB

In uncertain times, humans seek comfort. Today, this comfort is found in a house-y Johnny Wilson edit — a tried and true combination if there ever was one — anchored by Wilsonian staples like Antonio, Cyrus, Bobby, and Karim. Alongside them are Poe Pinson, Joseph Campos, Jack O’Grady, Elijah Odom, Casper Brooker, Troy Gipson and Ville Wester, aiming to find the lightning that Nelly found with his crew of St. Lunatics in 2002.

There Is Now A Granite Ledge At Tompkins

In 2014 — an era when Tompkins obstacles were still frequently removed — the longest lasting obstacle of the year was a sliver of triangular granite, nicknamed The Tombstone. It was a hint of things to come.

Because as of today, there is a fully sanctioned, 15-inch high straight granite ledge at Tompkins, with ends on each side. Nothing in this world is permanent, especially skate spots, but you could expect a few thousand pounds of rock to stick around for a while. Should be a fun summer, at the very least ;)

Thanks to Nike SB, The Skatepark Project, and California Skateparks for making it happen. Shout out to Connor Champion for his persistent quest to get a Straight Fucking Ledge™ to the East Village. (The first one ever maybe?) Thank you to Steve R. for connecting the dots with the city and Parks. Shout out to Andre Lezema for the install. Gotta go grind the edge down a bit next.

Choose The Sword, And You Will Go To The Banks, Choose The Ball, And You Join Your Friends At The Beach

Mike Sass uploaded a raw reel from one of 2025’s best New York parts [or anywhere-parts, for that matter]: Neil Herrick 5Ball Re-Rack. Love when you can feel the intentionality in raw file editing v.s. it feeling like a footage dump. Best of all …they just decided to throw in an entire bonus part at the end. Some of that footy is way to good to be sitting at the last two minutes of an eighteen-minute timeline. [16:30 mark.]

Krooked returned to its Gnaughty and Gnar Gnar roots and got the lo-def camera out for “Weirdo 01,” a bro cam excursion to New York featuring the majority of the team (Bobby back at Three Up!), and a mini Andrew Wilson part at the end. Feels like between this and the NBA Youngboy video (lol), remodeled Zeigfeld is having a comeback year.

“Last week there was a feeling of some divine mission having been completed, with Anti-Hero bestowing professional status upon Nick Matthews.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Nick Matthews finally getting the pro nod in its latest.
