Quartersnacks Will Be Replacing Anna Wintour At Vogue, Effective Immediately

That Condé Nast expense account been hitting this week 🍾🦪

Peter Sidlauskas eulogized the Brooklyn Banks Burger King at 55 Fulton Street — perhaps the most notorious fast-food establishment in New York skate history. They should restore it as phase four of the Banks after the Small Banks.

While Ted and Thrasher work on a “This Old Ledge” about the Banks Burger King, they dropped their Flushing episode to hold you over. James Reres shoutout was important. Kinda feel compelled to remind everyone that Rob Gonyon backside flipped the six and Antonio switch frontside flipped it 12+ years ago. Also liked Skateboarder‘s “15 Things You Didn’t Know About Flushing” thing so much that it’s the header photo for it on the spot page.

Speak Softly & Carry A Big Snack

Congrats to Mr. Nick Michel for winning the 2024 Quartersnacks Cup 🏆 and to everyone who came out on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to make this an annual event, so see everyone next year :) Full recap vid will go live later this week.

The Rent Is Too Damn High is a KCDC Skateshop video by Abi Teixeira, released in commemoration of the shop closing up its N 3rd Street location after having been a fixture in Williamsburg for two decades — long before the neighborhood was what you know it as today. Features a wide net of KCDC’s riders throughout the years. KCDC is continuing online operations as they look toward the future.

Labor’s Brooklyn location is having a big sale as they consolidate down to just the Manhattan location. Be sure to check their IG for abridged BK store hours before you make the trek though.

Maybe it’s the interview in the middle, but this has big 2000’s video magazine New York montage-vibes (yes, once upon a time, that was a rare thing for #skatemedia): PFP videographer Mike Sassano has a ten-minute New York montage over on the Transworld site with footage from Jeremy Murray, Matt Militano, Niels Bennett and more.

Wooooo!!! We’re back baby! East Village dollar slice joint is back to selling 99 cent slices! Woooooooo! Siri, play “Dreams and Nightmares!”

On the opposite end of the Tompkins food pyramid: The Avenue A Juicy Lucy, which rivals perhaps only Hawa on East Broadway for highest volume of acai bowls sold to skateboarders, is shutting down due to vandalism at that location :(

“The wood goes from Canada to China, then back to America to the warehouse, from there to the distribution in Europe and then to the shops. And every player in between, including distributors, wants to earn something from the board.” Solo has an interesting deep dive on something so obvious, yet so elusive: how are skateboards really made?

There’s literally one New York trick in the Australia x NZ team New Balance video that dropped on Friday, and it’s a 10/10 impossible over the uphill bump-to-bar outside the Montrose L, which, up until recently, was a quintessential “if only it weren’t uphill…”-spot. Apparently, skateboarding has evolved past caring.

Kicked Out of the Bar By the Swedish Military

We have our first one-spot video of 2024! Kurt Havens filmed a video entirely at the Abraham Lincoln statue in Prospect Park to show the world how much joy and creativity could be extracted from an innocuous patch of smooth stone in the middle of a big, green park. It has been added to the QS One-Spot Part Map 📍🐢

“The ConEd Banks sit quietly near the entrance to a mysterious 300-acre parcel of land that has been a site of energy, pollution, and controversy for over 100 years.” Village Psychic wrote the history of the ConEd Banks, which has a strong crossover with the New York hardcore scene of the 1980s. (Before anyone asks, yes we have looked into doing a “Favorite Spot” with Zered about it, but the consensus seemed to be that the footy was too scattered.)

Paris De Noche is the new video from Naquan Rollings filmed in New York, Philly and Paris, with standout clips from Jahmir Brown and Carl Aikens.
