Our friends at Dancer have a new 10-minute video out entitled “HPX8000,” which features Hjalte, J-Skrodds, and the new generation out of Copenhagen. Filmed entirely across Denmark, 95% on spots that the skate tourists don’t skate.

“If it fails, let’s fail really bad. Let’s just have fun with it in the meantime.” High Snobiety an a profile on Ayman and Osama about the new Carpet store that they just opened up in Baltimore.

End of an Era: Bodega Across From Tompkins Officially Closed

Daily News October 12th, 2011 · 3:25 pm · 18

Many know that “Closed For Renovations” is often code for “Closed Because the Landlord Raised the Rent to a Price Only a Multi-Million Dollar Chain Could Afford,” but Tompkins’ wishful thinking lead us to believe otherwise. The bodega across from Tompkins officially has a “Business For Sale” sign on its front window, after a month-and-a-half of leading its devout skateboard-riding consumer base to believe that it was merely undergoing a non-existant renovation.

So, we salute you, Avenue A Mini Mart, for most likely earning more money from skateboarders’ pockets than ABC and Autumn combined over the past ten years.

We salute you for selling quarter snacks when they were still a quarter, and allowing the expired ones with the old price tag to sit on your display late into 2004 when Little Debbie doubled the price.

We salute you for providing the sugar, tobacco, and alcohol that has inevitably heightened Tompkins’ collective risk for diabetes, lung cancer, and liver failure throughout these years.
