A few nights ago, we went to one of those spots that you can pretty much never skate. We got about three minutes there, and that was a blessing. Hopefully, next time there’s a blackout, or a city-wide wave of security guard kidnappings, we can go back there, or here, or maybe the outside of here, but until then, we’ll have to deal with skating those places for twenty-five seconds at a time. Here’s a brief clip of what we accomplished in three minutes.

I told you so. Square Films VS. the Chinatown Bank & Big Apple Skate VS. The Chinatown Bank.

Curttttiiisssss hates the children.

Guess which one of these two needs to stop going drugs. (Hint: It’s the one on the left).

Although this isn’t really the QS specialty, we like to look out for our 50 cent snack brothers. And recently, the 50 cent snack community took a blow. How are you going to reduce it from 24 to 20 ounces and add another ten cents to the price? Inflation sucks.

I have more shit for sale: 1. (Fake) mint-chocolate chip dunks perfect for matching your Bape hoody. Opening bid, $250. 2. Lightly used dunks with a “W” on them. Opening bid, $100.

Honestly, nobody cares what you think.

If you want to give me money or anything like that, let me know. We can set up a time to make the transaction as it best suits you. And if you were planning on robbing me anytime soon, as you can see, it’s probably not worth your time.

My father said Rogaine doesn’t work.

“How long did it take you to achieve a look that was that vintage?”

Somebody probably did something stupid at Riverbank recently, which would explain why they decided to start enforcing a No Skateboarding rule there. Now, you can’t walk in through the 137th or 145th street entrances holding a skateboard.

Old Jeezy stays doing it for the hood.

With this crazy-ass weather, it’s doubtful we’re going to be seeing any consistent warmth soon, so this may be worth a $200 investment.

More unrelated than usual: This is why Duke sucks. Miles Marquez co-signed.

The best thing on You Tube.

Speaking of YouTube, you can pretty much say goodbye to it as we know it.

New Flipmodeism.

Sick way to start out the week, right? Since you probably won’t be able to skate for a week (minimum), here’s a couple of new spots/spot updates to keep you throwing claimers for the next week.

There are a couple of new ledges across the Williamsburg Bridge. The ground is pretty good for the most part, and people tend to stay out of this side of the park, but the angle for the curved ledge sucks. And yes, please wax it for the rest of us.

If you got lost in New York on your way to Cali and still think jumping down shit is cool, there’s a new double-set in Midtown. The runway’s good, and the landing is a sidewalk. The main problem is that it is big. Check Midtown, west of Fifth Avenue. Or just wait until Ian or Little Kevin find it and ask them.

This spot has been remodeled. The tiles on the floor now have bigger spaces between them, but it’s a fairly decent small-stair spot for quick set-up lines.

In case you haven’t been Downtown in a while, they put marble on the manual pad on Lafayette in front of the Family Court. It’s a lot higher now. But out in Cali they nollie heelflip up Santa Monica and you don’t hear them complaining. Get used to it.

Officially on the fall-off list after sitting on the edge of it for the past three years.

If you’re an idiot, read this: STOP FLOODING MY GODDAMN INBOX WITH “OMG OMG OMG DID U DELET3 DA SPOTZ S3CT1ON OMG OMG LOLZ?!!?!?!?” E-MAILS! Maybe if you idiots would actually go to the site, and click “Spots” at the top of the page, it would take you to the right section instead of following faulty links on the Skate Perception message board.
