Static III New York premiere info. Projected date is the weekend of the 19th of October.
Were the Board Bangers not enough? Need more reasons to hate skateboarding? Here you go: “As rap icons Pharrell Williams and Lupe Fiasco present skateboarding as an integrated part of their personality and style, and with skateboarding itself already a pop cultural phenomenon, urban fans are now incorporating the fashion and lifestyle of skateboarding, experimenting with both skateboarding as a look and active sport.” Totally dude. And who in their right mind refers to Lupelle Phiasco as an “icon”? Maybe if O’Shea Jackson were still in top form we wouldn’t have all these assholes running around in lime green Bape hoodies rapping about skateboarding.

Slow update week, I know. But something is brewing in the kettle right now, don’t worry. Here’s some junk that’s going on in the next few weeks.
The éS Game of Skate is on this Wednesday, July 25 at Tompkins Square. It would probably be in your best interests to show up before 1 if you’re trying to enter. Click here for the schedule for everywhere else in the world.
If you want to try to skate the banks with a million other people, the Back to the Banks event is happening on Saturday, August 11th at 1PM. Click here for the flyer. Sponsored by Volcom, 5Boro, Spitfire, Skateboarder Magazine, Red Bull and Emerica. It’s a best trick contest and a “skate jam” of sorts.
You didn’t hear this from me, but the mysterious Chapman video and Static III are being double-premiered this September at the Houston Street theatre. Miles Marquez does a pop shove it over a gap in the Chapman video, but don’t tell anybody…

Here’s a bunch of junk that went on the internet recently. Shoulders, chest, pants, shoes..
Big Apple Rape recently put up a new throwaway clip. I can’t really co-sign anything using the musings of the corniest dude in music right now (also known as “the [self-proclaimed] best rapper alive”), but the skating more than makes up for including the music of a dude who has said “I’ve done kissed Juvenile and B.G…no homo.” (That’s word for word.)
The real Static III trailer is out. When is this dude going to realize that there’s other rap music out there besides Jeru? Regardless, Static II was the last certified classic video in my book, I can’t really see this one falling short of that title by the looks of the trailer.
Cuts Out of Florida is the first regional video to keep my attention for it’s entire duration in a long time. Pretty soon all of you need to realize that all the inside jokes you include in your two-minute long intros only matter to the people involved in the video, everyone else watching it just gets annoyed. COOF spares the nonsense and gets right into the skating, which is something rare these days, although certainly appreciated.
Matt Mooney was kicked off of Starks Laces and replaced with everyone’s favorite former #91 on the Bulls.

The Es Game of Skate is on July 24th this year at Tompkins. I got my $$$ on Bradley.
Quote of the Year:
White Man #1: “Wasn’t there a guy named Jim Morrisey?”
White Man #2: “No, that was Jim Morrison.”
Mooney: “Yeah, that’s the guy that invented The Muppets.”
Shoulders, chest, pants, shoes..
