Don't Believe (All) the Hype.


That photo above is of the Brooklyn Banks. Looks calm, right? No police tape, no d-tecs, no fights, no news crews. And that was taken early this evening, at just another mellow session at New York's finest spot. Coincidentally, we ran into Steve Rodriguez earlier, the founder of 5Boro Skateboards and THE reason the Banks are open in the first place. He's in continuous talks with the City and the Parks Department to keep the spot open, and to make it better—for skaters AND bikers alike. He's got all of our best interests at heart, so let's not allow the illest spot in the world to get shut down over something stupid.

The word of the day is RESPECT. Gotta give it to get it.

(All the same, be careful out there.)

And here's all that was poppin' off today: Nigel Sylvester, MirraCo/6.0/Animal/Skavenger (apologies if I forgot anyone), 180 to rollback up the bank to bars. On repeat like iTunes.
