Yeah, We Still Skate Sometimes

While all you country bumpkins were thinking you were going to take over the streets, under the impression that we were falling off, we were out there holding down the block (in a legal way).

An interesting fact that all of you might want to note for the Quarter Snacks history books you’re all probably researching for, is that every clip since the middle of summer 2006 was filmed on a borrowed camera. And thanks to the VX1000 being the most unreliable piece of shit on the planet, the past few months have been sort of dry. In between hourly dice games, macking hoes, maintaining jobs, attending school, nights at 205, wasted days in the back of a skate shop with a red logo that shall remain nameless, child support checks, and parole violations, we’ve managed to get out and skate, probably more often than all you other hoes.

Luckily, Ben’s biological father recently let me borrow his GL1. I’m not a huge fan of this device, but it’s better than nothing, and I for damn sure don’t know how to use it, so I’ll tell you now — if you’re prone to vaginal infections at the sight of auto-exposure settings, poorly set colors, or any of that other shit, stay away. Otherwise…

East Coast Boogie, Boulevard Bundle-Up

The previous hood holiday announcement was incorrect. It only reached 58 degrees that day, and the hood holiday cannot officially occur until it hits 60. Plus, it is still colder than a muhfuckah outside. Here’s my semi-every-Friday, link to content everywhere else but here update.

Torey Goodall Baby Steps B-Roll [Download to your harddrive or Stream / YouTube]. Since the Baby Steps video is the only thing still in-stock at the shop, this clip should be some motivation for you to pick it up. I should be getting re-ups on Ian’s video, and some new products up in the near future.

Matt Mooney: Bringing Innovation and Comedy to the Game Since 1987

I have no clue who filmed this video of Miles olling over a drunk girl at Union last Friday, but somehow it wound up on Youtube.

I checked the UXA Blog for the first time the other day, and there are a couple of sick old school photos on there. Seeing the Pang photo at World Trade is crazy. I remember that being one of the first three-stairs I ever ollied one summer before 9/11 happened, and getting psyched after olling off the manual pad around the corner from it.

3rd and Army footage isn’t hard to come across, but rarely is it set to music this brilliant.

Most of the skateboard world has already heard, but in case this is the only skate site you go on, Shane Cross recently passed away after a motorcycle accident. Rest in peace.

This video is old, but it has New York skating blended with Three 6 Mafia blended with 80s music. You can’t lose.

I got crowned king out in Africa Malaysia, out in Nigeria Kuala Lumpur, do you have any idea? When you ten years in, holla back then.

Most of you probably will not understand the importance of this event, but Kill Traitors has a blog. Time to take Eastern ExBROsure off the shelf and get busy.

Skate Videos Online is back.

Daylight savings time comes early this year. That means an extra hour of skating, pardon me, filming, without a light.

“I’m Sitting At Home, Reading a Periodical…

…and this is the call I get? My son is a bootlegger?”

Not really sure how much bootlegging I’m about to be involved in, granted that this video is free in the first place, but let’s just say I’m saving you the trouble of having to leave your house and going down to a shop to pick it up yourself.

This is the New 411 Up For Grabs DVD with the New York City section. Everybody who had seen it before me told me that it sucks. It’s nothing amazing, and certainly isn’t like like the last NYC section they had, but its worth a couple watches either way. The problems in it are mostly in the fact that 75% of the people in it are kids who came here from Cali over the summer, but I guess that’s pretty much more at fault of everyone here not submitting more footage (or saving it for some video thats going to wind up free on the internet anyway). A lot of it is recycled (the last trick is about three years old), and there’s a lot of B-Footage scattered about as well.

Luis, Rodney, Falla, Billy, Steve (for wallriding a chain-link fence…) and Nolan all hold it down though, and Brandon Westgate has a pretty sick line on Water Street. AND THANK YOU, for having the whole montage not be a mixture of the Staten Island ledges (which aren’t in it at all!), Flushing, and Chinatown Manual Pad (also not in the entire thing!). They switched it up on the spots, which is definitely a good thing.

Frankly, they should’ve used this song for it (sooooo New York, right?) instead of some dude nobody’s ever heard of, but we can’t all get what we want. 411 needs some thug motivation

And as for the rest of the video, all I have to say is Nate Sherwood’s intro is bar-none, at the top of the (already really long, pause) list of annoying intros.

Filmed by: Bryan Chin, Steve Marino, Ewan Bowman, Tom Colabaro, Seamus Deegan, Chris Mulhern, Dan Santiago, RB Umali, Justin “Tookie” White

Send me a cease and desist letter for bootlegging a free video

If you want a DVD copy, your local shop should probably have it.

Line ‘Em Up

Sorry dudes, but I can’t update for a while. I’m still on line at Supreme. I’m actually doing this post off a Sidekick that I borrowed from some japanese kid in a 10Deep hoody standing right next to me. But yeah, I’m going to be here all night, because I need a Supreme basketball so I could carry it around to match my Mork & Mindy’s!

On a related note, Old Jeezy’s Traphouse is my new second favorite website (Gossipingbitches.com will always have that special place in my heart). It’s sort of like Don’t Believe the Hypebeast, except a lot more hood and a lot more racist. You will not find better writing with more truth to it anywhere else on the internet.

I have to go clubbing tomorrow night so people could check out all the Supreme gear I waited on line for, plus I’m spending my morning doing re-sale auctions on eBay (I got it for cheap, don’t worry!), so you won’t be seeing much on Quarter Snacks for a while. Frankly, I just quit skating (and writing about skating) for good. The Quarter Snacks Street Wear Blog, coming this Spring!

I wore a collared shirt today.

(For real though, updates in a few. Sorry for two similar posts in a row, but this line is too funny.)
