You The World

For the life of me, cannot backtrack to where this screengrab originated from, but it was definitely a non-American skate video from January. Anyone?

Mike Heikkila is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, and presumably the first person to ever get a haircut on Blubba. Good reminder to keep that lotion on you this winter.

The Palace team (+ Lucien Clarke’s mom) gather around the TV to rewatch their seminal all-London video from 2017, Palasonic. Would be dope to see them commentate on the Bronze x Palace Paramount video, which feels a bit “forgotten” within each’s respective videography.

“The idea that I could make a show about skateboarding, but wouldn’t be relegated to ‘skate art’ but be taken seriously as an art show that happens to be about skateboarding, was something I am grateful for.” Esteban Jefferson spoke to Monster Children about his new solo show that is inspired by the Brooklyn Banks. It is on view @ 303 Gallery on W. 21st Street until February 26.

IT’S GRANT TAYLOR DUDE — Hjalte & Antonio Bookend the Nike SB x Dancer Video

This above iPhone angle screengrab really captures the essence of this sick fuck thinking it’s appropriate to switch flip five feet high in the air to clear a three-flat-three. Throw a police barrier across the flat and nothing changes. Also worth noting the subsequent gash in the ground that he rides through as if directly aiming for it.

Hjalte Halberg — who was missed in SB’s Quickstrike opus — dropped a new edit for his Dancer softgoods imprint to celebrate their collaboration with Nike SB. Features an ensemble of influential Scandinavian swoosh-wearers (Karsten, Ville, Hugo, Vincent Huhta) scouring the corners of Copenhagen that the tourists don’t typically make it to (save a few mandatory clips at Jarmers Plads), with Antonio bringing it back to New York for the switch flip in question + some Bond Street bangers at the end.

QS x Cons Available March 1 🏀

Vague has a premiere of Brian Powderly’s Static 6 part. Ollieing into that smudge of asphalt on the other side of the Ridgewood Reservoir spot is, as they say, ~completely unhinged~.

Vague also sat down for an extended video chat with three of the principal filmers behind the Static series to talk all the things that skate videographers talk about 🧠

Another Vague link?! Yes, another Vague link: they interviewed Hopps teamrrider and QS office favorite, Kyler Garrison.

Ville Wester & The Limo-verse For Nike SB

Ville just dropped a new part for Nike SB with cameos from everyone [who skates Nikes] in the Limo-verse and the greater Johnny Wilson-sphere (+ Oski.) Helmed by Tor Ström and filmed throughout his home in Copenhagen, L.A. and New York — it really feels like the New York clips were the crowd pleasers in this one …at least if looking at your Insta timeline in chronological order is any indicator. (You get up to make a sandwich for lunch, sit back down, and all of a sudden, you’re the last person on the internet to see the new Ville part!)

It didn’t take long for people to figure out a new angle at Police Plaza since the rail got lost in the matrix, but truly was not counting on that angle being those rubbery benches.

And raise your hand if your brain let out a “hmmm…what’s he up to?” when you saw Cyrus cruising down the Williamsburg Bridge.
