What a week. Labor announced that it was closing its Brooklyn location, DiVincenzo and Randle got traded, aaaaannnndddd the mayor got indicted.

ICYMI: We dropped a preview of the 2024 QS Cup last week. More details coming this week :)

Diego Najera, Brian Reid and Spencer Hamilton come together for the new Grand Collection edit. It passes as a blip in the edit itself, but everyone agrees that Brian Reid casually mannualing up the bank and over the barrier at the Front Street ledge makes zero sense in physics terms, right?

James from Labor is the latest guest on the Living Proof podcast + German Nieves was the latest guest on The Nine Club.

A Bad Ledge & A Plate of Salmon

Adjacency Bias, the Pacific-Northwest skate scene platform, has a new video series examining the opportunities / history created by un-used tennis courts that later become skate spots, called “The Courts.” The first episode is about Portland, Oregon’s court spot.

Nelly Morville made an iPhone edit of a Limo trip to Montreal + more. Fingers crossed Nelly’s YouTube page takes the [dormant] torch from Foghornleghorn for iPhone edits from this crew.

“Antonio Durao’s most recent challenge to skating’s understood limitations suggests a new frontier for the wallride grind, though probably one that requires a certain amount of extradimensional thinking.” Boil the Ocean pontificates on a Ben Colen photo of Antonio where he is smith grinding but also …wallriding 🧠

Summer Starts in August

The rumors are true, yes. We’re bringing The Quartersnacks Cup back this year, but with Vans. It’ll be more public. More info coming soon ;)

Shaquille Waite put together a thorough initial #tfreport of the re-done ground with his crew. It’s so …green! The fakie frontside flip over the bump-to-bar was nuts.

“Skaters who think they smoke a lot of weed have nothing on hockey players.” Una Farrar is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series — except it’s about $120 Canadian! (Somehow, it’s actually like $135CAD…)

“‘The EP me and Thug [are going to] drop? The hardest duo since Outkast.’ The interviewer’s eyes widen. He starts to push back (‘Now that’s—’), but Quan cuts him off. ‘I’m not being funny.’ He presses. ‘I’m not putting too much on it. Hardest duo since Outkast.'” 💔 💔💔

“Every Saturday and Sunday morning I drive around drinking coffee and looking around the city. I’m always looking for a spot where you could put a little piece of concrete and see if it stays.” Skate Jawn interviewed our good friend John Cruz about life after Shorty’s, and the D.I.Y. scene in Newark, New Jersey.

Day one rider for Travel Skateshop [Rahway, NJ], Derek Patterson, dropped a new part for Bronson Bearings. Mainly NY + NJ clips, with a wild ender and an incredible hardflip on that drop-in gap over the street behind Pyramid Ledges.

Jermaine Whittaker has a sick new part out over on Vague, filmed and edited by Blaine Williams. Lots of Seward Park ledge tech-ery and great switch front shove form at the end.

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.

Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)
