“Was Waiting For That One” — Violet’s “SQUEAKY” Video

Violet‘s long-awaited, years-in-the-making “SQUEAKY” video is live. Well, it went live on Sunday morning, and usually we try to post one of the year’s marquee releases way before it has …74,000 views, but some stuff happened in Texas on Saturday night, so the proceeding two days were not the most productive stints at the office.

At the premiere, we sat a few rows in front of Joey Marrone and a bunch of Philly heads, and any time Mike Ward or Kris Brown would pop on the screen — whether it was an actual trick, BGPs, their name — they would scream, “Mike Ward! I love that guy! Kris Brown! I love that guy!” It was funny right away, and then there was a moment of “wait are they dragging this,” and shortly thereafter, it got even funnier into becoming a full laugh out loud bit that continued up until their names appeared in the credits. I can’t read Mike or Kris’ name without visualizing them ending with an exclamation point anymore :) Just a really great premiere memory, and why IRL stuff like packing out a theater is so important.

I’m Here For The Quartersnacks Party

We have some Cyber Monday deals in the webstore 🛍 Tees, hats, hoodys, etc. for up to half off. Thanks for the support throughout the past year ❤️

Naquan Rollings dropped an edit of Chucky Lane skating the Supreme Brooklyn bowl.

Shaquille Waite filmed his two homies from Japan ripping around downtown. Lines down the Chase stairs never go out of style. Half cab flip was divine.

Summer Starts in August

The rumors are true, yes. We’re bringing The Quartersnacks Cup back this year, but with Vans. It’ll be more public. More info coming soon ;)

Shaquille Waite put together a thorough initial #tfreport of the re-done ground with his crew. It’s so …green! The fakie frontside flip over the bump-to-bar was nuts.

“Skaters who think they smoke a lot of weed have nothing on hockey players.” Una Farrar is the latest subject of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series — except it’s about $120 Canadian! (Somehow, it’s actually like $135CAD…)

“h” is a new, eighteen-minute homie video by Blaine Williams that’s mainly filmed in New York, with a sick part from Aidan Spencer to close it out. The fact the Polish Park planter-side ledges have endured for so long despite having three-feet of landing space is reason enough to never give up on your dreams ❤️

Casper Brooker has a great interview over on the Angel & Z podcast.

“So it was a little bit of everything: disappointment in myself, a little bit of wanting to try something new, and a lot of not thinking about it.” Spanky speaks about reinventing the way he skates and approaches video parts in the latest installment of Village Psychic + Ian Browning’s “Rules of Skateboarding” series. Spanky was also a recent guest on the How Long Gone podcast.

Any Given Monday

You gonna buy the $990 Celine skateboard?

Quit Sinnin” is a 15-minute New York video by Stephan Signh, with a bit of S.F. towards the end. Lots of spot inspo for warmer days :)

“It also is a return to form for Mike Carroll’s voiceovering, the years seeming to have slightly weathered his sound but his noun and verb and adjective selection still in top form.” Boil the Ocean weighs in on the Neils Bennett part. Favorite New York trick in that was the switch 5050 into the long steps on Riverside Drive.
