Official New York Skateboarding


[ 06.20.2008 ]: Go Skateboarding Day is tomorrow but even if you're not coming to our event, you should make an effort to hop on your board and go push somewhere.

In addition to the all day skateboard event, there will be a 21 and over after party at "Supreme Trading" (no relation to Supreme(TM)) in Brooklyn with a special guest appearance by Slick Rick.

In other news, QuarterSnacks dropped a new clip followed by an even more awesome Kirsten Dunst post. StickupKidsNY also kept us in the loop with their status for the month.
[ 06.10.2008 ]: From the same person that brought you the Long Island original "$20 off no tax", Steve Fletch is dropping a new straight-to-internet release for Forte skateboards, "Slowpokes". There are four, two person, parts. Each part will be released over the next 4 nights, starting tonight and ending Friday. Leaving the past behind, these new videos have an entirely different look, feel, and vibe than his last video.
[ 06.08.2008 ]: It was 98 degrees on Sunday at the Brooklyn Banks, in the shade. It's not even officially summer yet but if Sunday is any indication then it's going to be one hot summer. If that's not enough, then the sweat and haze permeating my lens should tell you something.
[ 06.07.2008 ]: Billy Lynch took a road trip to Baltimore for a week with his friends from Long Island to skate and were nice enough to drop off all of the footage. I'm testing out this high resolution clip, so the file size is a little bigger, if you want to watch it more than once, please save it to your computer.
[ 06.04.2008 ]: If you had any questions about the upcoming Rooftop Rampage contest then this video of Billy Rohan and friends should have all the answers you need.
[ 05.31.2008 ]: Bobshirt.com recently interviewed one of Brooklyn's favorite sons and recent father to a son of his own, Jeff Pang. Never being one to pad the truth with fluff, he says a lot of what's in the heart and mind of many a native New Yorker.

"People claiming New York City when they don't even live here; it's embarrassing. I'm not going to say any names but it is pretty pitiful."

I was flipping through some old mags and I decided to add some of the print press MetrOfficial has gotten over the years in some form or another to the "about" section.
[ 05.29.2008 ]: Being allergic to milk AND lactose intolerant for me milk is ALWAYS a very bad choice, but in the case of new websites MilkWasABadChoice.net is a pretty good choice.

Steve Marino recently posted a commercial he shot for Thunder Trucks with Luis Tolentino over at SquareFilms.com (Hosted by Official New York).
[ 05.28.2008 ]: The second annual "Harold Hunter day" 2(008) was a huge success, it gave everyone a chance to celebrate Harold's life through fun and skateboarding. If you weren't able to make it then check out and enjoy the footy I just uploaded and some photos from the day. If you didn't make it then you missed out on one of the best shirts ever made, it's basically a license to act crazy when you're wearing it, it's what Harold would have wanted.

In other news, I got some new product in the other day. I was busy all day unpacking boxes but I snapped a quick photo of them with the digicam so you could see what they really look like.
