Quartersnacks is a website for the skate culture of downtown New York. With acute self-awareness and biting humour, it chronicles the exploits of everyone bound together by a common interest in skateboarding in New York. In the ten years that Quartersnacks has been active, New York has become a national hub for skateboarding and more kids are skating worldwide than ever. Quartersnacks: 10 Years Down collects the best and worst from the site, along with new interviews, and documentation of the spots, the videos, the shops and everything else in the New York skate scene.
Quartersnacks is rare in that it appeals to both the older generation of New York skaters -- those who started in the 1980s -- and those just discovering the city on a board.
--The New York Times
Both a celebration of his site's success and an authentic look at skateboarding's past decade of growth and change.
--The Fader
And now it's become a pillar of Internet skate culture in its own right.

Quartersnacks was founded in 2005 by a generation of New York skaters who grew up with the internet--sharing spots on message boards, and meeting people online to go skate with in other parts of the city. Since then, it has become the anti-authoritarian authority on East Coast skating. In 2014 Nike SB released a limited Quartersnacks edition dunk. In fall 2015 Quartersnacks will celebrate it's 10th anniversary.
