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...

We also covered subconsciously emulating your heroes’ trick book, seen here via the same Kenny section and Ryan's part in Sci-Fi Fantasy's 'Endless Beauty'.

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.

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...

I also had fun with the intro, carving out the rules of including skatepark footage in a video, which Aaron has transcended with “an obstacle that appears so impractical and frightening to skate that its legitimacy in a video part has been unanimously unchallenged”. quartersnacks.com/2025/01/favo...

“There’s this idea I’m so attached to of how you can present your local schoolyard in the suburbs the same as you can a spot in midtown Manhattan. On a simple level you’re using the resources that you have but it's cool when people skate where they’re from.” — 🎙️ Paul 👇 📸 Vin Perso by Mike Heikkila

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.
