BOCOMO BUSTER

By the looks of this video and the dropping of some eaves, Boone County Missouri's very own Ryan Sublette may be on his way to bigger and better things. At the moment is he road tripping for Jackson Casey's latest project. (Can't wait.) Here is excellent documentation of their recent Michigan exploits.

available tomorrow at noon!
Nike SB "chrome ball incident" dunk high premium $108
(in store only)
this isn't my quote.. it's kinda corny sounding, but it gets the idea across:

"…inspired by the Airwalk Enigma which was allegedly designed by 80’s skate legend Neil Blender. The shoe features an embroidered pair of scissors which is a reference to the practice of chopping down hightops to a more skate friendly midtop, as street skating progressed. Chrome Ball Incident , for those who don’t skate, is a blog (http://chromeballincident.blogspot.com/) dedicated to all that is legit through the history of street skating in the US.”

Afro-Punk Festival Clip via Tracy Landon (2010)

Our friend Tracy Landon (with the help of Joe Hollier) put this Afro-Punk festival recap together for Open Road of New York. Thanks for the logo spot Tracy!

THAT PRATTE'S AT IT AGAIN

Jake is really entertaining me with his Youtube channel, once again. Here's a nice fun edit of the Webster park (including our favorite up and coming ripper, Max!), and then there's this amazing comic and artistic gem that I will let speak for itself. -Worful

We Made The News... The Skateboard Mag News! (2010)

We were so psyched to see NYSkateboarding.com mentioned in the News section of The Skateboard Mag's latest issue (#77). Page 46's news covers the new Bronx park and recaps our Best Line In New York contest. Thanks to our good friends over at Skatedaily.net & The Skateboard Mag for the exposure!

MERCY

And so it appears, by the hands of a cruel and spiteful god, this summer might be going in reverse. After one of the most brutal June months that I can remember we have a small respite from all of the lighting-bolt slinging condemnation. I hope it last but if not, I hope to see everyone out on the streets enjoying it while it does. I know the Kehoe brothers will be anyway. I don't think they've missed one 95+ 100% humidity day since summer started. Maybe they are reptiles from the 5th dimension and are made out of snake skin. Or maybe they just love cultivating skin cancer.

JABARI!!!

Jabari Pendleton from Western Edition on Vimeo.

This made my day, thanks to Bobby Taylor and Jack for both sending me the link! And nice filming Jake, Gabe, and Mitts! Jabari's sooooo sick. -Worful

TALK ABOUT A POLE JAM!

A big tree fell in Bobby's backyard over the weekend during the storm, but thankfully no one got hurt and their house is alright. His neighbors speculate that he knocked it down himself so he could skate it, but they've got no proof. Now he's going to use the wood to build a mega ramp in his backyard, I'm assuming. -Worful

Green Label Art: Shop Series - KCDC or Boundless NY? (2010)

New York has two shops competing in the Northeast for the Mountain Dew's Green Label Art: Shop Series bottle design contest. KCDC's design is by Dennis McNett and Boundless NY's design is by RATE, to vote for them click here. Regional voting ends on September 9th, 2010 @ 2:59PM. We wish both shops luck!

THE KEHOES ARE ON FIRE

I tagged along with Alex and Gabe on a filming mission on Saturday. Alex got some super sick and Gabe got a wallride as well. I got NOTHING, but I'm glad I got some photos at least. -Worful

steve olson

new season of entourage got me hyped.
gangstarr outro-ed the episode with a little "above the clouds" ...
kudos to the directors if that was an intentional tribute to the late, great guru.

Face Time With Rodney Torres via ESPN (2010)

Chris Nieratko has an interview with Rodney Torres up on the ESPN site. Catch more "El Toro" sightings (along side Zoo's latest pro Chaz Ortiz) up on the Zoo York blog.

JUST IN TIME

I only skated with the dudes for like a half an hour, but got to the spot in time to see both Alex and Joe do some sick stuff into this treacherous banked loading dock. I also saw Reggie's highly inappropriate drawing he did on Gabe's board, as well as him tagging a drawing of a person tagging. Very meta indeed. -Worful

CUTIE PATOOTIES

So I pulled up to Bobby's house yesterday and saw this: Bobby putting on a one man demo for for the two cutest girls EVER. One of them even compared her elbow "boo boo" with Bob's. Afterward we checked out this new bank spot near the Galleria, that was super fun. We finished off at this bump near my house and then called it a day. The sun wasn't even out when we started but we were sweating bullets the whole time. Ugh. But I'll still take this heat over the winter. -Worful

top of the group!

i feel sorry for anyone who missed this game.
amazing stuff.
donovan came through despite more blown calls from the refs!

DO ME A FAVOR...

Jake Pratte took me to certain spot recently so I could take a picture of him doing a certain trick, but unfortunately it started to rain before he could stick it. So next time you see him please remind him to go back and land that certain trick. It would make me very happy. Thanks! -Worful

SCOTT RIPS

I heard the Elwood guys really went to town on one of sicker and gnarlier obstacles at the Kingshighway spot, the flat bar across the two barriers. Unfortunately I was in Peru when this went down. But this kid Scott was happy to feeble across it for me. Sick! -Worful

SWEATIN' UP A STORM

I met up with Bobby, Guy, Joe, Reggie, and Alex last night at the Webster park. It was a very sweaty session due to the heat, but it was fun none the less. Thanks guys! -Worful
