The mayor got indicted, the Knicks are good enough that you’ve barely heard the words “J*mes D*lan” as of late, and LaGuardia airport is somehow the best airport in America? Who even knows what’s going on anymore, but we’re trying our goddam best over here at QS HQ.
Previously: 25-16.

“Editors are busy, and like I said, mired down in nonsense. It sucks, but it’s the state of the media.” Skate Bylines has a mega-feature about pitching articles, features, etc. to skate publications, featuring insights from many names who have been published on QS before. [Gonna use this space to apologize to anyone whose pitch we may have not got to in the past. It is never a personal thing, and it’s truly an honor getting a pitch from someone wanting to spend their time to contribute to QS each and every time.]
Boil the Ocean makes the case for all the inevitable S.O.T.Y. contenders.
“So it’s kind of funny that, you know, the quote unquote ‘underground’ doesn’t really exist in skateboarding anymore because everything’s so well seen.

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$six” video is a slice of life montage into what it is like to spend hours on end at the refurbished Tompkins Square Park, circa 2024. Could basically be VR. That backflip guy has to go back and get that. #tfreport.
“I don’t make something unless I really like it and think it’s fire and cool and I want to wear it — or I think it’ll sell. Usually the shit that I think is the best and all my friends think is the coolest doesn’t do well. Then the shit that I’m like, ‘Whatever, this is bullshit’ — it sells out.” A tale as old as time. Village Psychic interviewed Myles Underwood, the mind behind Fuck This Industry.
Theories shared Josh Feist’s part from Traffic’s It’s Completely Fine video. Heavy on the Philly clips, lots of insanely crustaceous spots, and those tricks from the black marble rock onto the cement ledge are wild.
