It’s A Recap Baby! — QS x adidas Longer Ledge Jam @ T.F.

After nearly a year, the long ledge from last year’s jam is still holding strong — although it has admittedly seen better days. (Keep in mind, it has been hoisted atop a pillar already to create an above head-high drop-in earlier this year. Can’t imagine it came down lightly.) And while this has certainly been one of the most inventive year for obstacles in Tompkins’ skateboard history, every park in every city could always use a fresh, long ledge.

This year, we added another five feet to it. Nikolai and Mark did Nikolai and Mark stuff on it, and Graeme Turner came through as a sleeper MVP. Greg didn’t catch P Tricky’s banger on the HD cam, but we’ll probably need to hardpost the iPhone angle for posterity’s sake. Thanks for everyone who came out 🤝

“Maybe people want to see our videos, but they don’t really buy boards anymore, or they get free boards, or they don’t want to buy skate apparel or whatever; that’s all fine. I get it. But maybe they would be down to pay five bucks for a video, just to support it so that that person, their team or crew, can keep making them.” Simple Magic spoke to Grant Yansura on the eve of the UNC release to see if there’s any way you can make your money back on a video.
