When you’re in the club and you see me – High five!

“The block said, ‘Dro you need to drop.’ Well, here it go…”

Attempting to out-do the infamous MTA montage, the Mandible Claw crew put out a “Rush Hour” clip centered around skitching, and skating on motor vehicles. Considering there are no Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker cameos, they should’ve just named this “Arrest me, please.” Cops seem pretty content to kick people’s asses for no real reason these days, so God bless Colin and the rest of the crew for risking themselves for our entertainment.

The underground king of Queens, Rob Campbell, has a new “Day in the Life” clip up for his company, New Breed skateboards.

Will skateboarders ever get tired of editing things to songs from Jeru the Damaja’s first album? Probably not. Back tail stall at the Bubble Banks is real sick though, and Future’s debut album, Pluto, drops on 01/31/12.

In an effort to remedy “soft music” criticisms stemming from their first throwaway clip, the “Death Video” crew called upon the services of Cameron Giles and put out an “ignorant edit” promo. Why would anyone want to ollie off that small hut at the Queensboro Bridge downhill ledges?

Late, but insane: You apparently cannot skate the Thomas Greene Park spot (a place designated built for skateboarding) unless you are accompanying a small child. Good to know that the NYPD has its priorities in order when it comes to Brooklyn.

Events: 1) If you’re into art and stuff, the Gonz is having an exhibition of photos and illustrations from the past year starting tomorrow and lasting through January 7. 2) The Shake Junt video premieres at KCDC this Sunday. 3) Jeremy Elkin’s new, NYC-based video, Poisonous Products premieres tomorrow at 74A East 4th Street at 8:30 P.M. Flyer here.

Spot Updates: 1) Who’s the genius that decided to knob the ledges — yes, the ledges — at Brick Nine? “Why are they still skating here? I thought they were supposed to stop skating?” 2) You obviously can’t skate World Trade anymore because of the protests, but Chase is also blocked off on account of them.

P.S. People in Jersey are real smart. Well, maybe not as smart as this guy.

“I don’t know how old you guys are, but for me, it’s definitely bros over over hoes.” – The Cop in the Picture Above

I’m sure people got accustomed to the regular updates during April, but of course, I needed the mandatory gap of not doing anything so I could find things to post again.

This clip isn’t much, but it’s a few throwaways from the past week since we are still gathering up junk for an upcoming clip. You can see the unbridled stupidity of skating at Chase during 5 P.M. on a Tuesday afternoon and the inevitable frustration that follows it. Rush hour seems to be the only point in time when you can skate it for a duration longer than two seconds, so we had to deal with it. And there’s also a bit of an exposé on the underestimated health risk presented by frontside shove its, which many people tend to forget. So here is a good way to waste a minute of internet time…
