Tag: Quartersnacks Top 10

Another year, another S.O.T.Y. chase, another hangover trying to make sense of it all.

As always, we try to steer towards what our nebulous blob of a QS social circle talked about the most, but we’d be remiss to say that the #1 on these each year doesn’t try to capture where the ~zeitgeist~ landed during that particular time. And like Michael Jordan famously said, “Every ~zeitgeist~ gets the 360 flip down El Toro that it deserves.” 🫡

Maybe your circle didn’t talk about a beautiful front noseslide pop-out or a 80mph dive into mulch from the street, and that’s totally fine! That’s cool you have friends and they have opinions on things. We legit thought Tom Schaar was going to get crowned S.O.T.Y. this year, but when it came time to log this, we simply had to acknowledge that our enterprise is partial to stuff that Coles, Ben and Jasper did.

Thanks everyone for watching this year, but more importantly, thanks everyone for stacking, filming, editing, submitting and …dropping in off high things into sideways propped flatbars. ❤️

(Yes, this was filed like an hour before GX’s “T4 Is Pro” video and Brayan Albarenga’s Thunder part, when the Top 10 Desk was already three margaritas deep getting thrown out of the JFK Terminal 4 Delta Lounge for being too rowdy on their way to Cancún.)

Spanish grinds into dirt, Canadians doing nollie backside flips out of cemeteries and over parking garages, a belated appearance for a pristine backside 180 nosegrind, and a top three all out of New York.

3) Obvs he always does the low beanie thing, but really like how the positioning of the hat is altered between roll-up and land. He landed it with the top half of his vision blocked.

2) Still so insane that a rail that was 5050ed as the ender to the most beloved video of the 2010s (by a 15-year-old who was nevertheless the first one to do it despite every visiting skateboarder ever walking up those stairs) can be crooked eleven years later and thrown on IG as a last-push, straight-to-social S.O.T.Y. bump.

1) To anyone who doesn’t live here: that spot is inside the World Trade Center… Would love to know what planet a cop being that chill about it landed from. Stands to reason that thing will get knobbed soon with all the action it has seen on social media in 2025.

This is the final regular Top 10 of the year. Top 10 of 2025 will go live next week. The regular countdown will return in two weeks on Friday, January 9th, 2026 after the Top 10 Desk gets a much-needed vacation 🌴

Man, this week would be so funny if Tenzin posted something dope from Tompkins yesterday.

(Filed before the Zion part, yes.)

Almost a cliche to point out how this was one of the busiest countdown weeks ever because blah blah. However, wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of submissions that came through our inboxes this week, and want to apologize to anybody we have not gotten back to yet. HOWEVER HOWEVER — going to be so pissed at all of you when it’s like January 8th and there’s absolutely fuckall going on out there because everyone dropped their videos while Thrasher was on its final S.O.T.Y. season sprint. Reading the calendar is a skill, obvs ;)

Brick as all hell out. Have a good one.

Slow week on the frontpage this week. Back on it next.

Eetu’s trick is almost some shit where you see your friend eyeing something where you have to step in like, “Are you sure you wanna do that?” But that’s why he’s a pro ;)

Asked around the office and confirmed the TJ Rogers clip is the one that belongs here out of a dozen-plus potential candidates.

Don’t forget: Labor is hosting a photo show of some rarely-seen/never-before-seen Spike Jonze photos at the shop today from 7:30-9:30 (flyer here), AND Tristan Mershon’s new video, Singer Tower, is premiering at 1139 Bushwick Avenue tonight with doors open @ 7 (flyer here.)

Have a good weekend.
