Preseason Already

Why the hell is there already a Knicks preseason game tonight? We just won last week…

Naquan Rollings posted up his edit from the L.E.S. Park skate jam dedicated to the memory of Marquis Blondel ❤️

“Cities hire ad agencies to craft entire campaigns to woo tourists. The skate shop video as a genre achieves the same thing powered by a handful of skaters placed somewhere around their late-teens and into their early-20s, a couple of responsible adults, and a steady flow of price-point shop decks.” Ian Browning wrote about the enduring power of skate shop videos for Closer. (Loosely related / ICYMI: A QS piece we did on the enduring power of shop …tees.)

Gabriel Fortunato with two lines @ the Fulton Street Subway stairs. Must be nice.

Fuck This Industry posted up a vlog from their trip through New England to Genuine Risk Lane. Includes Coles Bailey footage, yes.

Naquan Rollings posted up a four-minute dispatch from Tompkins this summer. Some Nikolai wizardry on the ledge, some psycho John Dilo mannys, and naturally, a giant NYCShawn tre.

Suciu, Cooper Qua, Nicole Hause and Jiro all skated a bunch of New York staples in a new Thunder Trucks four days in New York edit. It’s insane that after probably hours-worth of Suciu parts, he can still make you say “wtf” out loud at the screen. That 180 into the brick bank just outside the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge is insane. Same one from the crazy Alan Bell slam. (“Bro, that slam fucking sucked.”)

The voter registration deadline in New York is this Saturday, October 26. Yes, you can register online or in person 🗳

Really enjoyed this twenty-minute dad cam edit from the Quartersnacks Cup. The angle on the last races between Nick and John is especially great for a different perspective from the other HD or iPhone videos you may have seen.

2024 QS Cup Champion, Nick Michel, has a quick new part out for Thunder Trucks, which features a beautiful full cab, among other things.

F.A. and Converse hosted a $2,000 Game of S.K.A.T.E. Invitational at Tompkins two weeks back, and Greg Navarro covered it for Jenkem. Obviously, Tony Hawk won.

Vice (remember that ol’ thing?) has a new series called “Let It Kill You,” which explores the intersection of skateboarding and art. Their opening episode is with Mike Giglotti, who gets into his craft, his shop Lottie’s, and doing the art for Baker Skateboards.

How do you promote a truck company collab? “Idk, Hawaii I guess!” E.G.O.T. winners Stafhon Boca and Etienne Gagne went to the 50th state for an Alltimers x Thunder trip.

“Sole Tech’s trio of shoe companies were the last remaining skater-owned legacy brands on the market. They helped define multiple eras and generations of the industry and culture.” Simple Magic dives into the acquisition of Sole Tech by a ….snowboard conglomerate. Much love to Don and everyone that works over there. This remains one of our favorite things we’ve ever published on QS, and the Sole Tech crew’s enthusiasm in helping us was pretty much unparalleled when it comes to story sources.

Greg Hunt profiled Tyshawn Jones in a five-minute video spot for his new Adidas pro model.

‘Let’s Film A Montage’

No way there is a single person who checks this website and hasn’t seen the Tyshawn part yet, correct? Photo above by Dan Zaslavsky 📷

“Trust me, I tried to shoot it without getting down there.” New York magazine’s real-estate publication, Curbed, interviewed Atiba for a feature about Tyshawn’s Thrasher cover kickflip. (Though, based on some more precise intel, the gap definitely seems to be more than nine feet as outlined in the above article.)

Cooper Winterson’s new video, The Sex Emo Promo is half filmed around the vicinity of Cadman Plaza, and includes appearances from Nelly Morville, Evan Wasser, and a bunch more.

Speaking of Wasser, him and Nick Michel’s Frog for Thunder Trucks part by Daniel Dent is beautiful.
