This is the most 2000s ass week in 2020s skateboarding ever: You got vertical shuv-it reverts, Bastien Salabanzi in a Lakai reboot video, nollie flip crooked grinds at MACBA [also in a week in which Lordz alumn Flo Marfaing did a MACBA banger], and the dude with the best part in 2003’s Cash Money Vagrant video ollieing Wallenburg after spending a half century on earth.

Otherwise, slow week at the QS office. Back on it next week 4sure.

If you’re free tomorrow night, John Clodelfter & co. have a new one premiering in Brooklyn.

Rest in Peace David Lynch 🐐

Was about to be a pretty slow week until Pocket dropped one hell of a Brazilian video late morning yesterday.

Also wasn’t sure whether to treat Shanahan’s clip as an intro or an actual clip, but given the current realities of the weather in New York, it felt pretty reflective of what skateboarding outside is right now.

Sending love to all our family in Southern California 💔 💔

Happy New Year! Was almost about to bail and be like, “Actually, nah — Top 10 returns on the 10th, we need another week off,” but @sandprinter submitted the perfect New Years intro, so had to clock back into the office.

Usually, the typical feeling of seeing that green Appleyard school rail one-quarter of the way into the 21st century is absolute numbness, but that particular trick really kicked some life behind the eyes. The monochromatic color coordination with the spot was a nice touch as well.

As is always the case with the first edition of the year, this only reflects the past week of videos, not the full duration of our multi-week hiatus. Have a good weekend :)

#QSTOP10 — Top 10 of 2024

After 10,000 hours of watching skateboarding this year, these are the ten clips that brought the most joy / dropped jaws / conversations at the QS Office. Maybe your office spoke about completely different clips a lot more, but that’s your business ;)

It seems like skateboarding swung towards really gnarly kinked rails in 2024, even more than recent years, and the countdown is kind of …not really reflective of that trend. Then again, our biases are clear: three of the ten are in New York [four if you count New York State], and those took precedent over like, idk, the really Gnarly Wallenburg Trick from the Primitive video.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the kinked rail trend coincided with probably the highest rate of sacks in the intro compilation pre-roll, so…there’s that.

The #QSTOP10 desk will be on vacation for the next two weeks. The countdown will return on Friday, January 3. Thanks for watching this year, and as always, a much bigger thanks to the skaters, videographers, editors, traffic look-outs, spot repairers and knob removers that keep the good times coming ❤️

Half-a-year removed from Canada Day, it’s an all-Canadian Top 10 this week — not the intro though, that’s some homegrown New Jersey brilliance, baby!

Happy Holidays to our neighbors in the north. That #1 really takes the cake for the most fried thing in a video this year. A natural two-year evolution of galaxy brain spots.

Top 10 of the Year goes live next week, then the countdown desk goes on vacation for a sec, thank fuck. Year-in-Review part two goes live a lil’ later today too.

Have a great weekend, and don’t forget…
