Springtime for Billy Rohan and Florida, Winter for Poland and France

The 2nd annual King of Spring contest will be on Saturday, April 18th, 2009 at Thomas Jefferson Park on 114th Street and First Avenue in Harlem. 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. $3000 cash prizes, giveaways, petting zoos, etc. Unfortunately, due to the distance disparity from the city’s center of skateboard decadence (also known as Tompkins Square Park), I am sure there will be a lot less wild antics, as contests in recent years have been a lot more conservative and restrained in their sideshows of drunken and youthful mayhem. Seeing as how this one is a solid hundred blocks from Tompkins, the devilish influence of New York skateboarding’s most polarizing location will inevitably be missed this year.

Sponsored by Acapulco Gold, Vans, Red Bull, Instant Winner, Official, Autumn, KCDC and a bunch of others.

Hosted by Billy Rohan and Alex Corporan.

  • still waiting with baited breath for that pipe dream peg leg collabo…”new york pipe leg” will be off the chain this summer. heard there might be some drama cause yusef is already gettin’ flow from “do rag 4 u” and little McNally aint havin’ that conflict of interest.

  • first of all, pipedreams is retard levels even below blades. bitches tryin’ to act like your shit is 20 years deep in the new york skateboard game.

    if nypd’s actual store is as wack as their website, it’s no wonder you can’t tell someone who rides for the shop from some drop off havin’ beamer at 12th and a.

    it’s evident ain’t nobody got real steez on this team, motherfuckers need to go to therapy. you think hatin’ on every other skate shop in the city is going to make your shit look raw? like nypd is gonna’ “come up” on some real shit. pleeeeassee. 15-24 year olds thinkin’ they ride or die with their quagmire dunks. and of course you’re gonna hate on billy, you’ve only BEEN SKATEBOARDING for 5 years.

    bootlegs spankys on the team, koston fan outs, and a chick that rides for your shop with magnums in her mouth. do i need to spell it out? your shit is W-A-C-K. “please contact our skateboard team managers grim and vicky paez.” do i need to emphasize it again? KOOK AUDITIONS.

    face it, your shop is so wack even the riders don’t rock nypd shit, so stop hating on supreme, kcdc, autumn, and everything else that makes skateboarding barely function in this city. because it’s obvious as kooks, you are a part of the problem, not the solution.

  • The Below post has been copied from the new york pipe dreams website, and we ask that all user who are currently using employee and our stores name cease and desist.

    Quarter Snacks Slanders NYPD
    In recent blogs on Quarter Snacks New York Pipe Dreams, and more personally myself have been used as screen names for recent verbal attacks on Billy Rohan, and skate shops in the city. We at New York Pipe Dreams and Myself would like to apologize for anyone hurt by these comments, as they were not made by the shop, or myself. There is no war between the skate shops in this city and definetly no ill intentions between Billy Rohan, and myself. We here at the shop will again apologize for anyone who was hurt or upset by these posts. Billy Rohan has done a good job of orginizing skate competitions in this city for many years and though we might always agree with his ethics during these contest we still ask that people support the local new york skate scene, and applaud him and everyone else that puts in effort to keep the new york skate scene alive. Support your local shops which ever they may be.
