[ 04.30.2008 ] What's really good? QuarterSnacks dropped a nice little clip that is topped off with Charles Lamb's European vacation. StickupKids(ny) dropped a few new clips, some have some good skateboardering and some don't. Puzzle Video redesigned their website and posted a whole mess of new video content. The King of Spring contest kicked off spring right and was a lot of fun. In case you missed it, peep the footy from RB Umali and Steve Marino.  [ 04.08.2008 ] Warm weather is starting to break through and that means it's time for the NYC skate scene to shake the chill off and get out of hibernation. To kick off this season's event calander, 5boro is having a demo at NJ Skateshop, as with most 5boro events I predict there will be a lot of bro-ing down, sick skating, and yelling. Our friends at 2nd Nature skateshop will be premiering their first shop video through out this month. Between Doug Brown, Brian Brown, Steve Marino, Mike Alexander, and the rest of the crew I might have to see it twice. The media department at Zoo York (aka RB) has been pretty busy, not only did they drop a pretty funny skit but they also released some new footy from Eli Reed and a montage from their trip to SF. Fuggedaboutit. I'm fashionably late in reporting this (mainly because he didn't tell me) but Jeremy Cohan has blessed us with an outtake clip from the fashionably late to be released Chapman video. In other news, my Jeremy Cohan news source, Quarter Snacks will be cutting a "best of" video to be released with the Watermelon 2 video (which will now be referred to as the QuarterMelon video).  [ 03.19.2008 ] It's about friggin time but Zoo York has finally added Boston/NYC transplant Eli Reed to their amateur team.  [ 03.12.2008 ] Good things really do come to those who skate, New York magazine named Homage skateshop in Brooklyn the Best of New York Shopping 2008: Best Hangout That's Also a Store.

Rumor has it that there's a decent amount of NYC footage in the video. Speaking of Focus skate mag, Rodney Torres is the guest editor for this month's issue.  [ 03.08.2008 ] I've been pretty busy lately but I just noticed that Zach Malfa-Kowalski won the Slap "Focused" contest. As the winner he'll be a Slap staff photographer for six months. If you thought it was hard enough to get in touch with him before, now it'll be impossible.

With gems like Taji bodyslamming Gary, you can't lose.  [ 02.06.2008 ] Washington Square Park has been a long standing part of NYC skate spot history, but now it's history. They say they are just moving the fountain 23 feet to center it with the arch. While I highly doubt the OG bumps or ledges will be back any time soon, one can always dream..  [ 02.05.2008 ] Rodney Torres dropped me a link to this recent interview he had where they spoke about Harold amongst other things. There was a time when everyone skated at the Banks, chilled at Astor Place, had one of these stickers on their board, some of the Zoo York team were actually from New York, Menace Tech was the shit, and Axion footwear was hotter than Nike. If you remember those times then you should check out the blogs at PoliceInformer and BobShirt. Speaking of Menace (RIP), the City Stars revival is finally a reality, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is interested in seeing how this develops.  [ 01.25.2008 ] I was checking out 48 Blocks and I ran into a bunch of recent NYC related interviews with some of my favorite people including Billy Rohan, Huf, and Scot Schwartz. When people talk about east coast skateboarding North Carolina isn't on the top of most lists, but Post22.com is back to help change that.  [ 01.23.2008 ] Our homie and Official alumni German Nieves has been getting into big things lately, amongst other things his latest project is a promo he produced for street wear brand 10 deep..  [ 01.22.2008 ] "Deathbowl to Downtown" is more than your average montage of New York skateboarding. Instead this documentary hopes to offer an entertaining, eye opening, thought provoking take on why the action on New York's dirty, grimy, and hectic streets represents skateboarding to millions of skaters and non-skaters worldwide. Speaking of NYC skatebard montages, Steve Marino dropped a new clip on his website.  [ 01.16.2008 ] Zoo York has a collaboration coming up with GhostFace. Check out a day in the life with Brian Wenning. Even Brian has to wear a helmet at the skatepark, safety first kids!  [ 01.12.2008 ] Happy New Year!

Full length video coming soon. Steve Marino over at Square Films just posted a trailer for his documentary on skateboarding called The Skate Life.  [ 04.30.2007 ] In the small world of New York skateboard paparazzi, photographers are outnumbered by filmers 10 to 1 (maybe more), it's a thankless job filled with little reward. But despite my best efforts to discourage them, new talent like Zach Malfa-Kowalski keep turning up. Some day he'll learn, but until then enjoy his new website.  [ 04.27.2007 ] There's nothing like finally editing a holiday clip in April containing footage that was supposed to be due in November that you actually got in February.
