Pier 25 Skate Park aka North Moore (2010)

NYC is getting another park on the West Side... this time in Tribeca, specifically Pier 25 (West Side Highway at North Moore Street). According to the Hudson River Park Trust the park will open in Fall, 2010. Site Design Group has some pics here, California Skate Park has more pics here.

PARTY TIME

I met Randy and some dudes at the blind school ledges yesterday. One of the aforementioned dudes was none other than Martin "Marty the Party" Murawski. He was working some intricate ledge combo type stuff when I got there, that was fun to watch. Meanwhile, Randy's foot is currently not cooperating, and poor Drew just had surgery on his arm. Get better soon Drew! Gabe was getting the high definition angle, and Pratte was getting a lower definition angle (so to speak). Oh and Alex was ripping as usual. But he was bummed about his shoe laces for some reason. -Worful

brandon, john, mitch, raspa and friends in the NYC.

WALL GRAB TO MALL GRAB

Apparently Bobby refuses to skate any spot unless it involves him threading the needle somehow. In this case, a tre flip over this hip and between this pole and the corner of the building. And while I don't "get" Bobby's current obsession, I'm supportive none the less. So I tried some ollies, but the only one Bobby was happy with was the one where I grabbed the wall. I deemed it too controversial though. -Worful

ALL THE KING'S HORSES AND ALL THE KING'S MEN...

This weekend was pretty mellow it seemed, as far as skating goes. But I met up with Guy, Bobby, Zurheide, Steve Roberts, and Alex at this slight incline to ledge in U-City. That was fun. Alex got into a stalefish nose pick, and then got an ollie off a bump and into a steep little bank down the street, thanks to Zurheide who spotted it. So yeah, pretty low key, but fun and super good weather of course. But I can already feel it getting darker ealier, nooooo! -Worful

DOUBLE POST

Here are a few double exposures that I got developed on the recent rainy day we had. There is a special term that Wissman coined this particular pictorial layout, but I can't remember. Speaking of Wissman, the part that makes this post a true double post is that I also wanted to get the word out about Wissman's recent unfortunate event. Someone, or a group of people, recently Grand Theft Photo'd his point and shoot camera while he was at the St. Charles skate park off Elm street. Any aid in helping find this would be greatly appreciated. Wissman just wanted to "warn" the culprit that they need not confess, but honestly we would all appreciate it if you would!

UP, OVER, AND DOWN

I met up with Guy and Bobby so he could film a trick at the lighting company bank. After a few tries he managed to ollie from the bank into the skinny ledge. Sick! -Worful

Sunday Scan - Strength Magazine's "Legacy NYC" (199x)

This week's Sunday Scan was found on the Ignored Prayers blog. It's an article titled "Legacy NYC" published in Strength Magazine back in the 90's on NYC Skateboarding. It includes a history lesson by Eli Gesner along with interviews with Ryan Hickey, Mike Hernandez and Jeff Pang by Reda.

HAPPY 19 YEARS, 1 WEEK AND 2 DAYS CHRIS!

With school coming to the forefront of responsibility lately, I have reluctantly put video editing on the back burner, studying on the front burner, and filming on that little burner in between the two front and back burners that is usually found on the fancier electric stove models (and I guess lurking on forums has been put in the microwave). So, if you can follow that logic (or lack there of), showing up fashionably late is the video from Chris Jackson's birthday!

GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN

Bobby and I started off skating with one thought yesterday: we were hungry. So we stopped by Pointer's for some pizza, and when we were leaving we checked out this polejam out back. But because of it's close proximity to a telephone pole and a building it didn't seem doable. But Bobby specializes in these types of situations, and pinched one through in no time. Yeah Bob! -Worful

Introducing Belief Skateshop in Astoria - Queens, NY (2010)

FREE LAUGHS

If there are only a few things and people from outside Saint Louis that get a video spot on this blog, then let TSM photographer and Illinois native Bart Jones be one of them. I've mentioned Bart's awesomeness here before. This clip will portray Bart's essence better than my words, so sit back and watch how he turns a typically boring interview piece into a riveting reflection of his own brand of gung-ho insanity.

ROLL MODELS

I met up with Randy, Alex, Gabe, Jake, Derek, Joe Jackson, and Guy the other day at this new spot Gabe found. It's pretty sick, and Randy, Alex, and Joe gave it a good once over. Alex volunteered for stray board duty after one of Randy's kickflip attempts went rogue and nearly obliterated some poor guy driving by on a scooter. Meanwhile, I'm a little worried about some of our influence on the youth. In the end the session was a success and Derek seemed pleased. -Worful
