Skateboarding in New York City is a singular experience. It is impossible not to feel the magnitude of the landscape, and with the city in constant motion, skateboarding is both exhilirating and extremely dangerous. There is no right or wrong way to navigate this vast terrain. Only one thing is certain— the skaters and images produced in New York City are wholly unique.

The shots in Full Bleed span 30 years, with contributions from over 60 photographers. This is the first-ever comprehensive overview of one of the most diverse and rich skating locations in the world, bringing together legendary skaters and iconic photographers.

As predicted, the Full Bleed signing was off the charts last night at Clic Gallery. People of all ages came from all over the tri-state area to show their respect for the last decade of New York City skateboarding. Not to mention that the legend meter was way off the richter scale. Hell, the books completely sold out and the crowd was going wild for the John Hancocks of the Full Bleed squad. For those of you who didn’t make it out through the blistering cold New York, here are some photos I shot of the night’s festivities.

 

Full Bleed Talks with Ryan Sheckler

When Vice asked me if I would be down to do an interview with The Sheckler this week, I said of course, considering how hard he has shredded the New York streets, when not filming for MTV or winning the X-games.

 

Full Bleed Signing

The photographs in FULL BLEED introduce the characters who would personify and capture a culture: There’s the aspiring artist Neck Face and a young videographer named Spike Jonze; a bundled bridge-and-tunnel teen-ager who would become skate icon Mike Vallely; and Harold Hunter, a prominent skater and L.E.S. personality, picked by director Larry Clark to star in the movie “Kids.” The book captures the sensation of flight and movement within heavy, confining spaces, and the sweeping colors of the boards, the graffiti, and the riders as they fly between the gray sky and grayer pavement. – THE NEW YORKER

In between the new Tribeca Plaza opening and our beloved Autumn Bowl closing, New York skating has been going through an over the top Los Angeles styled face lift.
