12th and A Holliday Gift Off
Do you want a Christmas Present? Yeah YOU do, so roll through the infamous 12th and A roll tomorrow for a pre-Christmas miracle.
Full Bleed Clics
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 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
Taj Cam Tribute to the Autumn Bowl
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.
