Some boned out flip trick form, powerful line choreography, and gravity defying nose mannys in this week’s edition. Dylan Sourbeer’s line was also an office favorite, and distillation of all that’s beautiful in east coast skateboarding ;)
We have a shared booth with our friends LQQK Studio at the Vans Block Party tomorrow. Selling some collab tees + odds ‘n endz. 198 Randolph in Brooklyn (same venue as the skatepark.) 3p-1a. Stop by if you’re around ❤️
Have a good weekend.
We have a local D.C. video, a local New York video, and a local Buneos Aires video this week.
And having been present for a piece or two of IRL Antonio magic in the past, I was compelled to ask, “Was he actually trying that line, or was he just fucking around and seeing what happens?” The answer was, “No, he was trying it, but it was second try.” We’ve seen Antonio channel a kaleidoscope of goats in his own journey of becoming the goat, but this one had tinges of Stevie’s cruise-y line choreography in The Reason in 1999, but in 2024.
We aren’t doing a Labor Day weekend sale, but we’ll give you free shipping on all U.S. orders on our webstore through the long weekend 🆓🆓🆓 :)
QS will be off for the holiday on Monday, and return on Tuesday, September 3rd.
To anyone who may be disoriented by the #1 this week A.K.A. someone who hasn’t been to that spot before: please keep in mind, every visiting skateboarder has been there. Multiple people who you’d think would have a good chance of rolling away from it have tried it. Dude didn’t even put his hand down on impact. And got the bomb nollie flip after.
If you still need convincing, please allow Adam Sandler’s superfan to summarize it in more literary terms (that’s a spoiler, obviously.) It’s gigantic. Don’t let anyone fool you.
Was tempted to give Quickstrike takeover treatment today because it seems to have guided every conversation about skateboarding over the past five days — but what about a really dope shop video out of Finland?! Double-bank dismounts through piles of snow?! Sam Narvaez’s new part?! We don’t normally do selfie-filmed parts predominantly set in a skatepark, but a new Jerry Fowler mini part?! (For the uninitiated…)
Opted for the format from Baker Has A Deathwish II-week back in the winter. Seemed to get pretty good feedback.
Safe to say, we’re big fans of Eetu.
Shout out to Southern Cuisine!
Maybe the first time a 360 shuv has been in a Top 10.
Also included: peak front crook form (both ways), and physics defying wallride dismounts.
Have a great weekend :)
