Contrary to the post title of this week’s Monday Links round-up, it didn’t rain all week, and we found ourselves in a bit of an office content lull. It happens ;) be back to normal shortly.
Also, this got filed before it dropped, but we’re big fans of Mr. Zentgraf’s skating, and you should go watch his new part on the Pocket site.
Enjoy the #perfectskateweather this weekend ♥
Not entirely a Nike video recap, but it’s almost a Nike video recap. Some weeks you can get a sampling of a lot of what came out. Others, you get distracted by one video. Also, nobody walking down the street in New York can think of a metal traffic barricade the same again after this week.
Have a good one ♥
Rugs as street gaps and a 360 flip off an egg ;)
It’s raining all weekend. Have a good one.
QS will return on Tuesday, June 1 after the holiday weekend.
This week is essentially a “Best of Free Skate Mag” edition. Thanks Free! Slow news week on QS, but not at Free HQ! Must be nice ;)
Re: #1 — Anybody who has been to Burnside knows that the lip he does it on is effectively the edge of a second-story window. It’s the type of trick that makes you stand up, look at your feet, and start to spin so as to figure out wtf just happened.
Other notes…
Re: #5 — There’s obvs a lot of chatter about close-ups of faces in footage these days, but the sigh of relief on this young man’s face after a self-imposed close call with sending his genitals into a spiky incident really makes the clip.
This didn’t make the countdown, but Keisuke Hayashi’s “Drifting Dream” edit out of Japan is singularly the best thing you can watch this week. Sometimes, when edits are more of a ~vibe~ than anything else, it’s tough to isolate individual clips. This one rules though. Shout out to everyone putting in the hours on fine-tuning web edits in the social media era ♥
A bit of a “STALLION” catch-up edition, with some smaller projects dispersed throughout there.
Congrats to our boy Ruben Spelta on going pro. Big past couple weeks for Milano Centrale on the skate footage circuit ♥
Have a good one.
