Dubbed by Boil the Ocean as “the patron saint of clipping up,” this man from Tim Savage and co’s Free Game video has our vote ❤️

Readers Poll voting opens later today… 🗳

Max Hull put together a great recap of the Light Rail Riot / Friendsgiving Jam at the Hole Bowl in Newark. Kinda figure these guys are going to be doing these every year. (For those who don’t know, the Hole Bowl is the successor to the belated Newark Shorty’s D.I.Y.)

SOAP OPERA is a new Rochester scene video from Michael Breitmaier (you may recall his Memoir video from 2023), featuring parts from Adam Kerrick, Justin Grzechowiak, David Kimball and more. Lots of beautiful VX upstate crust, some downstate trips, and Euro excursions. Something about that Berlin manny pad spot feels like it’d fit in upstate New York.

Vague has a premiere of Neil Herrick’s part in Tristan Mershon’s new video, Singer Tower. Loved the Police Plaza choreography and the unlocking of the out ledge at Brick Nine.

We built a longass box and are throwing a cash for tricks jam at Tompkins this Saturday, October 18 at 3 P.M. 📅 First person to one-foot crook the entire thing gets a hundred bucks.

Follow Filming, a new YouTube channel that does skate-related video essays, compiled a fifteen-minute dive into the history of something everybody reading this has skated at one point: “The Story of the Element Flatbar.” Farran said “It’s like 99% Invisible for kids who grew up skating in their driveway.”

New fifteen-minute video out of Pittsburgh, forever one of the most unique skate scenes in the country: “THIS PLACE SUCKS” is a new one by Gavin McGinty. Unique spots, thoughtfully put-together, and why do Pittsburgh videos always feel like they skate completely different shit than the last big Pittsburgh video you saw?

Covering Fashion & Pants Became Impossible Once Skaters Began Dressing Like Fashion Icon Tim Duncan

We here at QS HQ are often suggested topics beyond the typical “post my video.” One of the most common suggestions is a story about pants. Lots of suggestions for stories about pants.

We did a big story about pants back in the fall of 2020, when Polar Big Boys and their descendants had a monocultural hold on skateboarders’ legs. One commenter deemed it a watershed moment for QS content. At the time, our collective perception of the pantscycle looked something like this:

Who’s Allowed To Skate The Crib?

So just in the past four days, the Brooklyn Banks reopened, Hardies threw a skate jam at D7 without incident (well, for the most part…), there’s a “~mini ramp~” at Tompkins, and summer *technically* hasn’t started yet…

Nico from Paris has a new bro cam edit out on YouTube that covers a trip to New York + Copenhagen, with an extended Paris section at the end. Probably one of the best places to see Kevin Rodrigues out in the wild …on the internet. Also includes Antonio, E.J., Hjalte + the bros.

A 420-foot nollie lipslide is essentially the same runtime as a 2025 rap song. Also posted this on the IG story only to have people be like, “He’s using rails!” I think you guys might be missing the point of a 420-foot nollie lipslide…

Keep It Skater

“Type III Fun” is a new, all-NYC video by John Lamair featuring the youngs hucking into rocks, going back for that white marble drop-in at World Trade that everyone gets washed on, and being shocked by their own inward heelflips. Great vibes the whole way through ✨

“I got an 8.25. I got Zeroes in the car!” A watershed moment for Village Psychic’s “Lurking With Lou” series: 14 years (!!!!!!!!) after Lurker Lou allegedly ruined Matt Millitano’s life by focusing his board on Slap’s One In A Million show [according to the internet], they link up to sesh spots outside of New York skateboarding’s oft-treaded zones. Joke’s on the internet, because they were friends the whole time. Also, even as someone who has known Lou for a long time, I completely took for granted that he was 28 in that show. Beards, man.

Kiernan McGinnis has a new part out for Grey Skate Mag that’s largely filmed in Philly. The control on that bank-to-rail kickflip back fifty is too good. And if you missed the nollie backside flip at the Lily Pads [R.I.P.] from last weeks’ top ten, it’s worth a loop or ten.
