The POP Trading Company Crew iPhone Mix by Sneep

Back in pre-historic times (the early-2010s), when we were first making our cute lil’ tees ‘n beanies ‘n stuff, the crew at Pop Trading Company reached out to us, asking to be our first distributor in Europe, covering the Benelux zone (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) — and effectively helping propel QS goods beyond our local shop homies that were down to take the gamble on it. In the time since, they’ve pivoted away from distribution and into becoming a formal brand themselves, producing great videos featuring skaters from a pocket of Europe that might not get as much shine as some of the continent’s mega-scenes.

2024 brings them to the premiere of their first full-length video, POP.

QS is hosting a premiere of the video at The Palace Bar in Greenpoint this Thursday, August 1st @ 8:30 P.M. 21+ only. Thanks J.D!

To get hyped, Jan Maarten Sneep, also known as the mastermind behind the Memory Screen remixes, put together this iPhone mix of the POP crew for some B.T.S. from the full-length.

“Summer Trip to New York” season has obviously been affected by COVID travel bans, yet it has not full-on stopped skate travel into the city.

“The one thing that has stuck out in my mind from early on was that clip of you backflipping off the Love Park sign after that contest. What the hell were you thinking?” Josh Stewart interviewed the forever inspirational Jahmal Williams for Germany’s Solo magazine.
