WLR — Ron Parker’s “Whole Lotta” Part

Daily News November 27th, 2025 · 12:00 pm

Happy Thanksgiving.

North Carolina’s Ron Parker first landed on our radar via Connor Champion, another North Carolinan dear to our hearts — who, by turn, was also supported by a legion of NC O.Gs like Bob Reynolds, Brett Abramsky and many more.

We have spoken in the recent past about how the tight knitted-ness of the state’s skate scene permeates through the screen across generations, even if its major skate hubs are hours apart from one another. That even applies when the skater moves beyond their scene into buzzier skate epicenters. Connor moved to New York ten-plus years ago and has been a QS fixture ever since; Ron’s ripping out in Los Angeles right now. But something about the skating still feels …North Carolina. Not Petey Pablo song neccesary ;)

The 5301 crew out of Charlotte, North Carolina — who you may remember from past Black Sheep Skateshop-affiliated videos like STK (2024) and AVENUE (2023) — just premiered their latest full-length, It’s Always Something.

As a sample, we have Jermaine Whittaker’s part for you. (Jermaine had a NY-centric part in Blaine Williams’ Normal earlier this year, in addition to one for our friends at Vague a year ago.) His latest finds him back in North Carolina, charging into all sorts of obtuse ledges, and hucking onto the whip to wrap the line up ;)

Can’t Rush A Bluntslide

Shout out to the street pool in The Bronx. They’re really using skater brains to make something out of …yeah. Not sure about diving off the scaffolding though.

“Are you a believer?” It has been over a year since the last Panorama or Rat Ratz video, but to hold you over, Spezzatura dropped “RAWR 5,” a compendium of what has gone down in the Milan skate scene since the winter. Safe to say that the subtitles are once again the funniest part. Very pretty flat at the start 🇮🇹

Ben Kadow did the “5 Greats” questionaire for Thrasher. Can’t wait for Ben to skate to Chief Keef in his next part. Also, will echo the NY Pizza Suprema sentiment 🍕 A man can really get some thinking done with a mushroom slice on the post office steps across from MSG.

Naquan Rollings continues to go through his old VX tapes, with the latest installment clocking in at 13 minutes of 2019 footy. Still committing to that back heel after the Parks Department parked at the bottom of the steps was wild. Staten Island line is a classic too. [Previously: Midtown 2017.]

A 2025 Transworld Video, Why Not? — ‘Former Glory’ By Ricky Covach

Daily News March 19th, 2025 · 4:24 pm · 1

North Carolina has a rich history in independent skate media, dating all the way back to Web 1.0 pioneers like SkateNC and Post 22. NC’s scene was among the most prodigious in producing skaters who were every bit as good as the pros, back in a less visible era when such distinctions were easier to catalog. Despite being a pretty big state with a dispersement of mid-sized cities, videos out of North Carolina have always carried this interconnectedness of the entire state’s scene, and Ricky Covach’s new one, Former Glory, certainly has a way of weaving in that local shop vid camaraderie despite covering a place as big as New York State.

Once upon a time in the sweet, innocent year of 2014, the Quartersnacks newsroom came up with the idea of doing a “Reps Who Rip” series of video parts. They would be shortish, not-too-serious parts from guys working a job hawking skate goods and still finding the time to shred.
