Ryan Lay is skateboarding most prolific nollie skater so I talked to him about just that, and combed his part in 'Endless Beauty' for every trick off the nose, for a fun addendum to his 'Five Favorite Parts' interview 🧬 quartersnacks.com/2025/09/five...
I talked to Ryan Lay about video parts that vibe and video parts that punish for Quartersnacks. Here's Ryan on the former via Kenny Reed in New Deal's '7 Year Glitch'. 🎥 — quartersnacks.com/2025/09/five...
If there was, say, a newsworthy moment and you could shoot for an interview with, say, Ryan Lay or a handful of other relevant people. No matter how interesting the rest might be they probably still won’t be as great to talk to as Ryan Lay.
I spoke to Hayley Wilson about important Australians, old and new, including Anthony Mapstone and Pass~Port Skateboards for the latest instalment of ‘Five Favorite Parts’ at @quartersnacks.bsky.social 🐨 — quartersnacks.com/2025/06/five...
One of my favourite things I’ve ever written was that Nick Boserio skates like Indiana Jones running away from the giant boulder. Revisiting that story on account of this line, from Hayley Wilson’s new part, encapsulating it perfectly. — quartersnacks.com/2022/09/five...
Always liked this exchange from my GQ profile of Tyshawn Jones and William Strobeck but, boy, did it get a new dimension today. — www.gq.com/story/willia...

The independent skate video thrives on America's East Coast and Paul Young's 'Down By Law' was a reminder as solid as diamond plate. I wrote a profile of Young on the occasion of 'Down By Law' for Closer's print edition earlier this year which is now online 🗽 closerskateboarding.com/2024/12/19/d...

Big up The House Skatepark in Sheffield. Over 25 years deep and one of the few remaining indoor parks in England (and that’s skatepark not “action sports academy”). A conscientious place in many ways but, most importantly, somewhere affordable to skate inside, hours on end, for less than a tenner.
Limosine accomplish more with one trip and a six minute video than some skateboarding companies couldn’t do with years of a filming and a half-hour-plus runtime. Lovely people too. Revisiting a personal fave with Cyrus for from their earlier days for the heck of it. quartersnacks.com/2022/08/sitt...
