Rival Skate Shop Transforms Into Boundless NY (2009)

Vinny Ponte & Jason Morgan have had Rival skate shop (225 Hudson Street, NYC) since 2004. As of this past Friday (11/27/2009) Rival has tranformed into the new Boundless NY. BNY has been open in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for a little over 3 years now on the corner of Roebling Street & Metropolitan Avenue. They sell a wide variety of skateboarding & street wear brands including their own King Stampede collection and have the same Skating/Hip Hop vibe that Rival had (check out the vid clip above). We wish Nick Langela and Teddy King along with their  Boundless NY team good luck with the new shop.... R.I.P Rival!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!

It was our good friend Chris Roeleveld's birthday this weekend, so we all went to City Museum to run around and get lost. All in all it was a really fun night, happy birthday Chris! -Worful

THANKSKATING

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! Bobby and I met up with some dudes at the blind school ledges yesterday, where Alex and Jake had their own holiday meal prepared. Schwartz was there, ripping. Then we checked out a gap that Bob had found while strolling through the Soulard area via Google street view. He's a pioneer I tell you. Jake cleared it with a healthy ollie, Alex was impressed. Then we went around the corner to a sick spot that Joe Herbert improved awhile back. Bob got into a noseslide as the sun set. It was pitch black out already and only five o'clock in the evening. Winter, ugh. -Worful

We finally made it out to Garden Skate (about 40 min West of NYC) in New Jersey yesterday and were super impressed with their gigantic Pirate Bowl, street course and had so much fun on the micro-mini ramp. Bossman (Garden Skate Owner) has a $5 winter deal for company riders and shop riders. For anyone in NY who uses mass transit they are setting up a weekend shuttle from the train station to the park... more details to come on their website.

BREAKING NEWS: BOBBY'S ON LUGZ FOOTWEAR

It's official, Bobby now rides for Lugz Footwear. You heard it here first. When he showed up at the blind school ledges today I thought he was wearing the classic D3. But no, it was something even chubbier. It was a pair of Lugz. And guess who the new Lugz Midwest rep is? You guessed it, Guy. Hope this doesn't make waves with his current boss. Meanwhile, Bobby Taylor, Jared, and Larry showed up and skated the ledges with us. They seemed unphased by Bobby's new sponsorship.

Cold Man Jam 5 Slideshow (2009)

Cold Man Jam 5 had a great turnout on (thankfully) a dry and sunny November Saturday. Guys were ripping up the bowls and a few contests went down in the street course including a few games of S.K.A.T.E. for the younger crowd. Funhouse, Vigilante and Raised Fist had some boards on display.  Jahmal Williams was ripping up the spine Hopps style and Culture's Kevin Roman was putting a few lines down for the camera. Everyone looked like they were having a great time. Thanks to Funhouse for putting the jam together... we are looking forward to Cold Man Jam 6!

How To Build A Mini Ramp With Billy Rohan (2009)

VBS.TV posted this clip of Billy Rohan showing step by step how to make a mini ramp thanks to Quiksilver.

WOW

First off, Bobby made a custom Pretty Zip Zinger. He's either a genius, or was really high at the time. You decide. But who knows, maybe we'll make one for real in the future? We'll see. The lighter board construction certainly seemed to help Bob get into this ollie up to back lip over the gap at the Steger benches though. Meanwhile, once again we found ourselves at an indoor garage and happened to run into some other fine folks, this time it was Kendal and his homies. He showed us this nice wallride and him and Bob went to work. -Worful

Hazel posted this rare video called "Maiden Days" with Frank Gerwer and Kevin Candela from the mid 90's on their site last Sunday. This is definitely some hard to find footage!

For some reason this photo never saw the light of day. The swimsuit may be out of season but tweaked melons are always in style.
