Video Review: Fuck Yinz – Volume 2

October 28th, 2011 | 9:41 am | Reviews | 9 Comments

A few weeks back, the crew at One Up Skateshop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania sent over Fuck Yinz Volume 2, their 30-minute promo video from earlier this year. The DVD-R came wrapped in a size small digi-camo tank top with their logo on it. The G-Man, who once received a medium tee from Vinny Raffa only to respond with “You don’t have a 2X?” lamented it was not a few sizes larger.

One Up is the only skate shop in Pittsburgh, and it is run by a friendly, tight knit crew, that has always been accommodating with sharing spots and skating around with us whenever we would make the six-hour drive out there. It’s the sort of shop that every city should have. Their video has parts from several names that have began receiving more coverage in recent history (Kyle Nicholson, Zach Funk, Austin Kanfoush, Nick Panza), plus a whole bunch of lesser-known dudes who still shred just as hard (Dan Peindl, Grem Trails, Rob Dumas, Bill Cunningham, Justin Funk, and others.)

Fuck John Street

It’s still 2000 on N 15th Street and JFK Boulevard. Right down to the bulky DC shoes.

Jamal Smith has a bit of a Kalis outfit homage going on as well:

But seriously though, once a song is in a car commercial, you can’t use it in a skate clip. There are four Beanie Sigel albums full of un-used songs. Peedi Crack is out there making (pretty sick) electro dubstep records (or something) too.

Features Jamal Smith, Joey Fitzpatrick, Ishod Wair, Dom Travis, Dietrich Meyer, Brian Panebianco, Jay Klotz, Jonathan Hadley, Tore Bevivino, Anthony Trivelli, Chris Mathis, Matt Henry.

Skateboarding v.s. The MTA

October 27th, 2011 | 3:37 pm | Daily News | 5 Comments

Ever since we saw the original Zoo York crew sessioned the descending ramp connecting the A, C, & E to the L at 14th Street in the Mixtape credits, skating inside subway stations seemed like a lot of fun. (Perhaps even more fun than it actually was.) Then, Indoor Ten came around, and people started hucking themselves down that, risking a $100 summons, a board confiscation, and potentially getting your ass kicked by an angry Times Square cop stuck in a precinct with little to no action throughout the year, with Easter probably being the main exception. Subway skating hasn’t excelled much since, at least until this new clip for Slap by Colin Read, featuring Piro Sierra, Kenji Nakahira, Ryan Barlow, and Connor Kammerer. The fact that they left without a summons or a baton to the head is absolutely incredible.

Whether or not this will end up with 100K+ views like many of the other infamous MTA moments to make it on the internet this year remains to be seen, but it’s the best skate clip to go online in a long time.

“Yeah, I think I could hook it up with a ‘K.O.D.’”
