Always kinda wince when filing these with two enders at 1 and 2, but like, sometimes the most popular thing on the menu is the best thing on the menu. Promise to wane off the enders next week. You’ve no-doubt seen them already anyway, as they come from well-traversed corners of the QS viewership — and everything else is pretty much from Thrasher this week.
Let’s go Knicks 🏀

If you have been reading QS for some time, you’ve no doubt heard us echo the sentiment that your friends are your favorite skaters six million times — probably even in an intro to an old Five Favorite Parts. Vitória’s list is emblematic of that principle. All of our superheroes need that layer of humanity, yaknow? ;)
For all the things to love about Limosine, the fact they have completely upended any of our built-in expectations about what is included in a “new drop” edit is among the most underrated. Usually, when companies throw an edit out to announce new gear (note, we are leaving full-length videos that also coincide with a few new SKUs in a brand’s webstore out of the equation here), it’s the in-between B-roll. The warm-ups. The shit leftover from trying the “serious” tricks that get saved for BIG VIDEO.

Would love to locate this guy to be the new interviewer for QS. First subject: Max Palmer.
Pete Spooner just dropped an extended cut of loosies from his new video, Sturdy. DVDs of the video are available now. Run back Various Artists while you’re at it, too.
Heckride has the first-ever interview with This Is A Window and Mind How You Go mastermind, Jeff Cecere.
Alexis Lacroix breaks down his signature “ski ride” alongside a compilation of third-eye-open insanity for Skate Jawn.
Stafhon, Diego, Gabe Thompson, Aaron Loreth, and David Stenstrom in Miami for Stussy.
Obviously, the Darren Harper DGK video with his daughters at Pulaski is the most beautiful piece of skate content from the past week. Everything else, can be found here ;)
The #1… we were in Argentina at the same time as Tyler and Wes, and actually ran into them the day we went out to the same spot. Someone told us what Mr. Surrey did while we were warming up at another spot down the road. When we got there, it was like …what? That is an absolutely fucked thing to think to do at that spot, and the sandpaper/glass/hill landing is far less forgiving than video can ever convey, no matter how many pixels are crammed into the frame. Shout out to Tommy, Eze, Emilio and everyone out there.
