PUSHIN' EAST PT. 2 : NYC

10/01/2009

"I just call 'em like I see 'em"

After Haveboard and I returned to the "Command Center" from Pop's, we quickly gathered up what added gear would be needed for NYC and hit the "Chinatown" bus, Brooklyn bound. It was raining. We were hungry and thirsty, but we skipped the food and hit the bar running. Shots and beers, shots and beers. Needless to say, looooong night. Woke to more rain. We grub and head straight to the Autumn bowl for the Brent Atchley best trick jawn. The scene was already set: dark, crowded, loud (metal/punk bands), and beer soaked (free Asahi!) ... seemed like a great way to spend a rainy Sunday. I lurked and watched for a good while contemplating how the fuck to film anything in the madness/darkness. But, soon the rippers started really ripping, and I had lugged the camera all this way, so what the hell, right?! Brent, our host, was killing it smoothly, Andrew Langi was flying high, Kyle Berard seemed to dip in and out always laying out 6 to 10 tricks, but Dan Carrerio skated ALL damn day! He was all over the place. Loose and wild. It was sick! Well deserved money for third. Langi turned it way up to land second place. And Berard ripped like he always does, first place.

My ears are still ringing!

A huge thanks to Haveboard for coming through with the additional HD flip jawns in the edit. Good looks to Matt and Sabah for the futon space. To Philthy and Skinny, rock on bretheren! ... holla if a skate mission ever brings you to New Mex. And lastly a giant FUCK YOU! to the coward bastard who walked off with my board. Karma fucker, karma.
