To think that only a month ago, we were claiming we wouldn’t mention the NFL for a few years. Congratulations to the New York Giants. The Knicks are never winning anything (especially when you need 25 points & 7 assists from a Chinese Harvard graduate to beat the Nets…), so perhaps we should direct our local sports radar beyond basketball.
In other Super Bowl / Skate-Related News: Fred Gall wins the Dobbin Block Super Bowl squares pool, Paul Rodriguez does what is presumably one of history’s more expensive switch flips for a Samsung commercial (@ 0:56), Mixtape star and circa-1997 “King of Style,” Peter Bici, informs close friends that “Boston sucks” immediately after New York’s victory, and Gucci Mane declares the trap’s comeback. Does anyone go to U Mass? You guys didn’t handle the loss too well, huh?
The most interesting post-Super Bowl development? Cam’ron resurrects the nearly three-year-old Cousin Bang project for a special Super Bowl edition. He still insists that the full-length movie is coming soon (original trailer here.)
Paulgar put together a six-minute montage from the late-Autumn era featuring Jake Johnson, Ted Barrow, Kevin Tierney, Brian Delatorre, and other QS-favorites. Some of the footage is previously unseen. All shot in/around New York, minus a few Miami clips from that awful “short film” Paul made starring Lemony Snicketts.
To answer our own question from a few months ago about when skaters will get tired of editing videos to songs off Jeru the Damaja’s The Sun Rises in the East — not anytime soon.
Fresh off the demise of the Santa Monica Sand Gaps, Los Angeles loses another iconic skate spot (one that actually deserves to be a famous skate spot.) The Department of Water & Power Benches are knobbed.
The Shit U Not blog offers a tour through a classic Big Brother issue (#22). Andy Roy on the cover, Gino Iannucci interview, a Chris Keefe Capital Skateboards ad, and other varying points of interest.
The official video “Got One” by 2 Chainz just dropped, and it’s easy to say that the Torey Goodall version does the song way more justice.
The forecast for tomorrow promises “near record high temperatures.” If only every February had multiple 50-degree days.
dude, I’m from Amherst, the town that UMass is in. That place is the worst! That riot shit is an annual thing with the amount of neanderthals that enroll every year.
brengar crossing the street like a king at the end of paulgar’s shit is the highlight of everything from this post.
This kid skated New York perfectly:

Good song as well.
Don’t lie Russian. You love it.
The ironic Du-Rag and Bush Cheney 04 shirt were fashion staples of the times, and are said to have influenced fashion houses from New York to Milan.
The Wrath of The Math is better. Camp lo’s Uptown Saturday Night will be the next over used album.
Paris Review, just what I always wanted, to see! somebody do a smith grind wearing beats by dre head phones. thanks for the heads up!
i thought the town of amherst would embrace the win of their beloved alum victor cruuuuuuuuz
Boston Sucks? Correction the Patriots suck. Peter Bici sucks, that part in mixtape was sick but gangemi won that battle…BOSTON WINS SKATEBOARDING!
