“‘The EP me and Thug [are going to] drop? The hardest duo since Outkast.’ The interviewer’s eyes widen. He starts to push back (‘Now that’s—’), but Quan cuts him off. ‘I’m not being funny.’ He presses. ‘I’m not putting too much on it. Hardest duo since Outkast.'” 💔 💔💔

“Every Saturday and Sunday morning I drive around drinking coffee and looking around the city. I’m always looking for a spot where you could put a little piece of concrete and see if it stays.” Skate Jawn interviewed our good friend John Cruz about life after Shorty’s, and the D.I.Y. scene in Newark, New Jersey.

Day one rider for Travel Skateshop [Rahway, NJ], Derek Patterson, dropped a new part for Bronson Bearings. Mainly NY + NJ clips, with a wild ender and an incredible hardflip on that drop-in gap over the street behind Pyramid Ledges.

Jermaine Whittaker has a sick new part out over on Vague, filmed and edited by Blaine Williams. Lots of Seward Park ledge tech-ery and great switch front shove form at the end.

It’s a beautiful day: Skate Jawn “$100 Chill” series is back, and the latest episode is with none other than Mr. P Tricky.

Mark Suciu told the story of his backside 5050 @ CBS Thrasher cover that was shot while Salt Bae was taking a nap. When we dropped the Top 10 that coincided with the week that “Verso” came out, some people were like, “that’s a weird trick to choose for #1 from the part.” Sure, it’s not some spine contorting technical ledge skating, but motherfucker do you want to lock both of your trucks onto that skinny-ass rail a millisecond after you’ve ollied up a ledge? There’s also decades worth of piss and shit in the pit behind the rail. (It was the inspiration behind this Antonio Quote of the Week.)

HEADLOCK is a new brand pushing the Atlanta skate scene, and Justin Hearn got behind the lens to make the inaugural edit of his crew for it, aptly titled “In A Headlock.”

W O W. Our friends at 4PLY ran all the data to quantify why Yuto Horigome is The One. “He doesn’t have a single “go-to” trick. He’s got the talent to ‘go-to’ all the tricks.”

Just a great, old-fashioned hometown skateshop video part: Hollywood Martinez for Southside Skateshop x Spitfire Wheels to a Pimp and Bun classic 🥲 “We wanna send this one out to Whodini.”

The Best Skate Videos & Parts of 2023 — QS Readers Poll Results

The results are in: a time-capsule of 2023 skateboarding, as voted by QS readers. Some old favorites have returned to the rankings, and some new ones have emerged.

And yes, it should be stated, perhaps louder than in other years, that year-end rankings are an imperfect artform. Miles Silvas’ “City To City” part that would eventually land him Thrasher‘s S.O.T.Y. trophy premiered a few hours before voting for the QS Readers Poll closed (that didn’t stop him from getting some votes in those final moments though.) Yuto dropped his April part three days after voting closed. But we are committed to the belief that nobody wants to talk about 2023 after Christmas. And for a year when it felt like Skateboard Oscars Season™ began in August, we had to make the call. All those parts that missed the cutoff will be eligible for next year’s voting, same as years past.

If you are just joining us, this ranking was voted on by QS readers from December 4th to December 8th. If you’re interested in the methodology, 4PLY broke down how we tally the votes ✨

Yuto Horigome Stars in Supreme’s “she loves me, she loves me not.”

Mr. Horigome seems to be on a Monday victory lap after defying both the frustrating difficulty of skating in Tokyo, and the Olympic bureaucracy’s cockamamie idea that you could keep a young man off the streets in his all-Tokyo part late last week.

Today he’s the star of the show in Nike and Supreme’s Parisian promo piece for their upcoming Dunk, filmed by William Strobeck and Augustin Giovannoni. If you weren’t holding onto a firm thread for S.O.T.Y. speculation just yet, he seems like a pretty safe bet from where we sit three months out ;)
