Always kinda wince when filing these with two enders at 1 and 2, but like, sometimes the most popular thing on the menu is the best thing on the menu. Promise to wane off the enders next week. You’ve no-doubt seen them already anyway, as they come from well-traversed corners of the QS viewership — and everything else is pretty much from Thrasher this week.
Let’s go Knicks 🏀
Obviously, the Darren Harper DGK video with his daughters at Pulaski is the most beautiful piece of skate content from the past week. Everything else, can be found here ;)
The #1… we were in Argentina at the same time as Tyler and Wes, and actually ran into them the day we went out to the same spot. Someone told us what Mr. Surrey did while we were warming up at another spot down the road. When we got there, it was like …what? That is an absolutely fucked thing to think to do at that spot, and the sandpaper/glass/hill landing is far less forgiving than video can ever convey, no matter how many pixels are crammed into the frame. Shout out to Tommy, Eze, Emilio and everyone out there.
Two tribute weeks, two weeks in a row 💔 Had to pay respect to an underground east coast legend. Rest in Peace Tim Achille ❤️
Otherwise, a week of fat tres, fat switch heels, some exemplary line choreography, and THPS combos IRL. Have a good one.
Avid QS readers know that we are big fans of a longass line. (No, not in the “my favorite restaurant just got TikTok’d” sense…) This week, there are a lot of longass lines. Because what else is a skateboard if not a [non-motor] vehicle / method of transportation? There are circular lines with many pushes, lines that are so fast they require zero pushes, and others that start one way and end as a surprise. We can’t just be putting every NBD done down Wallenburg in the countdown every week. We cashed that token for 2024 already. Annual Hollywood High token is still un-used though!
Rest in Peace to James Hardy ❤ ️
A Down By Law round-up, the most unexpected of kickflip crooks, a 540 on street ;) + a no-push line so nice that you’ve just gotta run it back twice.
This one got filed a lil’ early so a few later-in-the-week videos had to get deferred.
Slow news week around here, but back to it next week :) have a good one.
