Way back when, we were reporting on a new skatepark across the Atlantic opening and someone left a now-immortal comment.

“I’ve always wondered what skatepark builders have against STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGES. I live in CO and there’s a skatepark in every town with A 20 foot cradle but not a STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGE at any of em. What are the kids gonna do with a 20 FOOT CRADLE?!?! Just build us a STRAIGHT FUCKING LEDGE and be done with it!”

In the twelve years since, anytime we have reported on a built-for-skateboarding structure, we simply had to commentate on whether or not the park, plaza, et al. included a …Straight Fucking Ledge™.

Today, more New York City skateparks have Straight Fucking Ledges™, though probably not in the abundance that a Straight Fucking Ledge™-enthusiast would want.

Five Favorite Parts With Nikolai Piombo

On the heels of Nikolai’s Venture part from last month, we figured it’d be a good time to hit him to log one of these. We have finally arrived at the tipping point generationally to where the Sour team begins to get credit for the prolific influence they’ve had over the last now-almost-ten years of skate videos. Antwuan Dixon might also be gaining on Jake in Mind Field‘s marketshare as the most name-checked part of the series as well…

Go Oilers?

Got told a dope story by someone during game six about how their friend got his eight-year-old, basketball-obsessed son a Josh Hart jersey, and told him a dictum along the lines of, “If you’re ever going to make it into the NBA, your best chance is learning to play like this guy.” 💙 🧡

Gabbers is Sporty & Rich in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, which probably has the highest volume of beer purchases from any installment? 🍺

“REMOTE VIEWING” is the latest edit from Theories of Atlantis featuring a wide survey of midwestern crust. Includes appearances from QS favorites Nick Rainey, Connor Noll, Nyle Lovett + more.

Carl Aikens took a bunch of his bros on a trip to Milan and came back with this five-minute edit by Jeff Cecere and Ritt Pontepsiripong. Marcello’s flip 5-0 on that Centrale rail was too good.

#tfreport via Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” edit

The mayor got indicted, the Knicks are good enough that you’ve barely heard the words “J*mes D*lan” as of late, and LaGuardia airport is somehow the best airport in America? Who even knows what’s going on anymore, but we’re trying our goddam best over here at QS HQ.

Previously: 25-16.

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.
