Video & Remixes May 23rd, 2024 · 12:00 am · 1

Today, we are proud to present “AUTO,” the latest release from Hopps Skateboards by Tristan Mershon.

It’s a check-in from the Hopps team that opens with the skateboard-equivalent of a $50,000 half court shot on behalf of QS-favorite Dustin Eggeling, and includes appearances from QS-favorite Mark Del Negro (who makes up for his lackluster outing against Jersey Dave in S.K.A.T.E.N.E.R.D. with actual …skating!), QS-favorite Kyler Garrison, ageless QS-favorite Joel Meinholz, and eternal QS-favorite who is also ageless, Jahmal Williams.

Scumco and Tristan Mershon present Striking Distance 2, their latest project featuring Jake Baldini, Dave Abair, Kyle Nicholson, the legend Jerry Mraz, the legend Kevin Taylor, and many of today’s most esteemed crust evangelists.

Will Rosenstock and Venue Skateshop present Ninetyfour, the latest full-ish length video from Bust Crew and the slice in time when the A.V.E. bench was in Richmond, Virginia.

Huge past week for Ty Beall, who had heavy footage across both of the aforementioned projects, in addition to this mini part for Pepper Grip.

Jake Todd’s Philly [and beyond] video, Devil’s Pocket, is now live in full.

Unsolicited reminder for everybody to get reacquainted with the story of Fred Gall saving the Cambodian monks from a burning building. Shit deserves a 30 For 30.

Tristan Mershon, creator of the Fool’s Gold video from this past May, has a quick new check-in edit called “Almost There.” First time that garage on Crosby and Houston has popped up in an edit for a while ;) Classic spot from simpler times.

“We doin’ shit! We’ve always been doing shit, only now it’s being recognized.” Skateism has a very sick interview with Jaime Reyes.

Short Trip To Space

Big Parts Unknown vibes in this: Pocket‘s latest installment of its “Followed” / day-in-the-life-esque series trails the samosa vendor from MACBA for a day. This entire piece is so so good, and really shines a light on how essential these peripheral figures at spots are to skate culture. Can’t wait for more. Shout out the the Flushing empanada lady. Shout out to the Brooklyn Banks Burger King, the Love Park Wawa, at al.

Week late, but on the slim chance that you haven’t seen Tristan Mershon’s Fool’s Gold video, filmed in predominantly non-obvious corners of New York, please do. The last two parts are especially incredible, and the curtain-call filming is brilliant. “What’s your spot-finding method?” “Lurking, really.”
