Vert God’s Stop Fakin’ 3 part drops on QS tomorrow ♥
Birdgang 3 is now online *airhorn*
The Bloby videos are still the QS office’s favorite thing going. “Zdroopy,” their new one, is magic. Vince’s front nose 270 out is pure beauty, Karl Salah’s lines are always poetry, and DREWWWWWWW, Franco + Daniel Kim have cameos. No Hjalte tho :(
And the Pop boys also came through with a rad Paris edit that a) avoids a lot of the city’s most oft-skated spots, and b) oddly features a ton of underground footy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jenkem has a great interview with Tyshawn Jones.
…and Skateboard Story has an interview with Calzone maker, Matt Velez.
This is a mega Boil the Ocean post: reflecting on 28 years of Thrasher S.O.T.Y winners…in the bizarro world, where Penny won in ’95, and Tiago won in ’17, etc.
Good bit of new Caddo footage in the friends section of Valenti’s N.Y. Archive project.
So this is the spot Rick Howard would’ve found if he kept skating around the forest after he bumped his head in Mouse.
Our dear friends at Seasons dropped new video over the weekend. That Empire State Plaza spot is lowkey one of the best spots on the east coast now that it’s a go.
I saw a video labeled “Patrik Wallner” and “The Lost Continent,” and my first thought was “damn, these dudes deadass went to Antarctica on a skate trip didn’t they.” They didn’t, but I did have to Google where on the planet they actually went was.
King puts something we’ve all done into writing: Musing on Gino’s Yeah Right! part.
One day Rihanna is throwing you hearteyes across the aisle at #NYFW, the next you’re a crumpled Thrasher tee under a pile of new soccer jerseys. It’s a filthy, fickle business, guys. I don’t believe in nothing no more, I’m going to law school!
Franco???
