Could’ve done this entire week without Atlantic Drift — and then an Atlantic Drift video came out, bumping a lot of what had been suggested on the QS breakroom whiteboard. It is another one of those truly “pick your own order” weeks.
And yeah, the only reason the Jack O’Grady ender got snubbed is because the frontside rendition was in there last week, variety is the spice of life or something like that, etc.
Best dog cameos in a skate video 2019.

Best backside noseblunt? Gigliotti.
Best part? Sammy Baca.

Everyone got a light pause from skateboarding’s award season this past week (unless you were doing a deep dive into Baker 4, which obvs isn’t eligible for the countdown until it’s out *officially* — not trying to have Reynolds show up to the QS office with a sack of doorknobs.) This one was able to dig in places outside of the Thrasher homepage universe, and yeah, while those Rowan Davis and Ben Lawrie clips appeared in Disc a few months ago, that raw files Geoff Campbell dropped might be the overall highlight of the past week on the skate internet. Both of those kids rip, in a very cool way at that :)
Have a good one.
Sometimes a photo does a trick more justice than the footage. You’re typically seeing anything on a magazine cover as a photo before the video comes out. Everyone knew it was coming in that Milton part, but seeing that kickflip in motion was actually something else. You felt it in your chest.
Other things in there were just so insane that you couldn’t help but laugh.
Hey what’s up hello — it was a slow week around here on the front-end of things, but definitely not slow in the wide wide world of skateboarding. We got the Readers Survey numbers tallied, and will be pretty busy around here until the year / decade is out with #content.
This could’ve been a Top 20. Sorry if your faves got snubbed.
See you next week. We’ll have a lot of stuff going on then. Enjoy the break in the weather today ♥
EDIT: #9 is actually Adrien Coillard. Sorry for the error.
