Rocks In The Burritos

“For the kids coming out of rough homes, for those grappling against doubt and depression, pressures real or felt, the battles can have a kind of seductiveness. The way they can grip and blot out nearly every other single thing, to the point of blacking out. The fulfillment and release of actually prevailing can be almost secondary… even faintly deflating.” Boil the Ocean wrote about skateboarding. And Marc Johnson.

Greenpoint Palace is hosting a premiere of the new Polar video, You Got It My Boy Jamie, this Thursday, June 4th @ 8:30 P.M. 21+. 206 Nassau Avenue, Brooklyn. Flyer here.

Congrats to The Bunt on ten years 🤝

Damn, remember when Tyshawn switch ollied one of these things from flat, and then morons in the comments (not on QS, but elsewhere) were like, “Yeah, nah, actually the corner is kinda bent, so…” Anyway, shout out to the gate challenge.

“Figured since I had just started skating again, that I would film my ender in London…he was passing a message from Lev [Tanju] saying I’ve got to get my ender in Philly, you can’t come over here to do it. I was like, damn, alright, I guess I gotta skate this handrail.” Slam City Skates has a #longform “First & Last” interview with Jahmir Brown.

“How far back does Dylan Jaeb’s skate brain go? There’s another clue in the credits, where videographer Jacob Palumbo can briefly be seen dribbling soda out of a cup and onto a volcanic stone manual pad, which earlier in the vid is the site of a frontside 180 fakie manual kickflip out.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Dylan Jaeb’s new part and pouring soda on spots.

Belated 2016 dive find 🌴 what a time

Nice to meet you, he’s an artist.

Hans Klein gave Skate Jawn the backstory to Khaw Wangkaji’s tre flip into the escalator bank at the World Trade Center, which was #1 on the final Top 10 of last year. So crazy that enough time passes where it’s just regular “you can’t skate here” security to new generations of skaters. Angry dudes holding machine guns used to kick you out for skating around the building before, never mind the inside.

Rise And Grind — An Interview With Myles Underwood

📝 Interview by Zach Baker

As with many things today, people want to know what it is. “Is it a brand? Is it a crew? Is it just an Instagram page? It is serious? Is it …a joke? What ..is IT?!” Myles Underwood’s Fuck This Industry imprint is no doubt something that incites such reactions from people with a mental need to put things into categories. We’ve been rocking with what can now most commonly be referred to in shorthand as F.T.I. since it was called some amalgamation of Club Dragon Fuck This Industry 2008 Son Of A Bitch Company, but never formally sat down with Myles to discuss its evolution. With his first part in four years, and a run of decks recently released into the world, we figured the timing was right to get into it.
