Since things like Police Informer continue to grow in popularity for those of us accustomed to a time when skateboarding was much simpler, devoid of sixteen year olds doing fakie front crook 360 flip outs, I figured I would join in on the party. So here is Huf’s Pro Spotlight from Transworld back in 1998, when east coast skateboarding still kind of mattered to people.

You can find kickflips, 180s, and ollies in..

Real’s Non-Fiction (1995)

Real’s Real to Reel (2002)

FTC’s Penal Code 100A (1996)

P.S. If you had not already noticed.. I added this “Recent Comments” thing underneath Iron Mike’s head to the right of the posts, where you can stay up to date with all the very intelligent discussions that go on here at Quarter Snacks regarding french literature, foreign films, classical music, politics, existentialism, and Black Dave.

Thrasher released a book that runs down the 200+ places you need to skate at before you die, or before your knees give out. Or before you have kids and move to Long Island. In honor of proving that we have actually stepped inside of a bookstore in the past fifty years, I wrote up a brief review of it, explaining how Thrasher’s publishing department broke my heart with their laziness.

Handycam Snacks in the making.. New clip in the making..

*I use the word “read” lightly here. I am aware that the majority of skateboarders have not made it past the fourth grade and are generally incapable of reading, so I would never dream of writing about a book that had a whole bunch of small squiggly lines and words and shit in it.

Here’s some things that have stood out on the internet over the past few days. Just some things to get through the rainy weekend… which I’m sure will be spent skating indoor…bars..

Ted Barrow interviewed Shane Bovell on his blog about some wonderful, back in the day, New York nostalgia. Features all the hallmarks of early-to-mid 90s skateboarding in New York: the Banks, board jackings, Kyle James, getting sawed offs pulled on you, etc.

Staying on the topic off olden day New York skateboarding, 48 Blocks has a Steve Rodriguez interview up.

Here’s a few alternate cuts of some parts from Lurkers 2 that I found floating around on Youtube: Dharam Khalsa, Ted Barrow, Alternate friends montage and Billy Rohan.

There are some more photos from the premieres last weekend just in case you haven’t had enough, here and here.

Guy Mariano x The Geto Boys (Old one, but a good one).

God Invented Crack

And finally, in preparation for this much anticipated November 7th, Crank dat Killa Cam. (It’s only right).

There aren’t any premiere’s for a week and a half, so this is the last video review for a little while, but here’s the final review installment for this video-filled weekend: Nike SB: Nothing But the Truth.

Video updates up soon, since most of you can’t read.

Here’s a write-up and some photos from the premiere last night of Static III and The Chapman Video. Nike premiere tonight. (90 minutes long, boooooooo).

Here’s Josh Stewart’s mini write-up on last night’s premiere too
