- People have been asking me to post more content for ages, but having the honor of multiple listings in QuarterSnacks' top 100 of the decade, and watching Sho Ma's tribute video (RIP) all week I've been getting both nostalgic and motivated. But with no time and no camera, what can you do? Luckily when you run a skateboard company, although short lived, you stock a bit of unused footage. So I'll be posting old footage that never made it onto the website for some reason or another. Reasons vary from toe drags, tictacs and overall sketchy landings, to shitty camera work or not enough light, saving it for videos that never came out or going to videos that you may have never seen, and then there's the lost tapes or just plain forgotten footage, but you get the idea.
Some of the footage might be a decade old, some of it might be far from perfect, but when you're skateboarding, it doesn't matter. If this website were a DVD, you could consider this the bonus section, so enjoy.. I'll post more as I find it. (Read More)

- This Saturday there will be a rally at the Brooklyn Banks, and FuelTV will be there to cover it.
Everyone knows the Autumn Bowl, you may remember Mt Weather, well now Homage skateshop has started a private indoor skate park and are accepting new keyholders. The NY Times also did a story on it.
Speaking of Homage and skateparks, if you can't afford a key to the indoor park, they have been lobbying for a free public skatepark in their section of Brooklyn for a while and now need your input for what you'd like to skate there. So now if it doesn't turn out good, it's your fault for not contributing!
In local company news, Naysayer Skateboards dropped a new promo clip, and so did Prize Fighter Cutlery. What I think is great about new local grass root companies is that they tend to bring out new underground rippers that you either overlooked or would have never seen otherwise.

- Happy New Year to you all, I hope your holidays were both joyous and merry. From the sidelines 2009 may have seemed like a rather lack luster year in NYC skateboarding but it's a new year and I'm remaining hopeful for NYC in 2010. According to the Mayans we only got 2 years left anyway so one of my resolutions is to make more of an effort to be less delinquent in my web duties. Unfortunately I cannot be everywhere at once and I am not a mind reader so if you got news, events, or footage you want added to the website please post it to the forums or email me at news@officialnewyork.com.
It's been a month since my last update but people have been keeping it live and getting the year off to a good start:
- Quartersnacks reviews the decade
- Rob Campbell got a new promo footage clip
- 5boro went south for the winter
- Billy Rohan opened a skatepark in Florida
- ESPN's NYC skate guide
- The Brooklyn Banks are closing this week
