(3:06) WWW.MBSKATEPARK.ORG - The Tony Hawk Foundation has begun a Pledge Drive for the skatepark under the Manhattan Bridge in New York City. We hope to make improvements to this incredible location that is currently little more than a covered, open space with a few ramps and rails scattered around. Hundreds of skaters from all over the Tri-Borough area, New Jersey, and elsewhere come to the park every week, which is in the heart of New York's skate district, accessible to public transportation, and shaded part of the day by virtue of the massive bridge structure overhead. The Coleman Skatepark at Manhattan Bridge is a sanctioned skatepark, and has such great potential to be a world-class skate spot. Please help and make a donation. Go to WWW.MBSKATEPARK.ORG and be sure to list MANHATTAN BRIDGE SKATEPARK in the Tribute window. Thanks for your support, and SHARE THIS LINK! < less

(4:26) Here is a short video I made as a school project for my Participation In Government class three months into my senior year of high school in 1991. We were allowed to pick our own topic so of course I picked skateboarding. If I wasn't riding my skateboard, then I was watching a skateboard video and this eventually made me curious on how they were made and wanting to make videos myself. I had already made a video entitled, "Say Cheese", before this school project so I already had a head start. I already had filmed some skate footage of my friends so I went out and shot the couple of interviews out on the street and the interviews with my friends to complete the filming. I edited the video on two VCRs and borrowed some type of audio mixer from Radio Shack from a friend to add in the music and narration (all in one take). Total rig job. In typical school project fashion I waited until the last minute and made the video the night before. I didn't even have a fresh, blank VHS tape to turn the project in on... I submitted it at the end of one of those Vision NSA contest videos from 1986. I turned the project in on time and the next day in class my teacher made an announcement that she was going to play the video for the whole class. I was like, "oh shit!", everyone already hated me 'cause I was a skater, "now they're really gonna hate me." So, the video was played and people dug it and were kinda impressed I think because they we're reacting to the skating while it played and asked me lots of questions after. The point made in the video (is there even one?) is pretty poor but my teacher rewarded me with an A+ due to the fact that I actually made a video. All the other students just handed in crummy charts and graphs. She even played it for all her other classes. I win. Skaters in the video are: Eric Shugats, Joe Cassenti, Larry Ransom, Stan Knight, Chris Fritton, Chris Crenshaw, Mike Drinkwalter, Andy Gulkin and Salman Agah. Written on the VHS tape label: P.I.G.

(1:58) Trailer for the second and yet unseen version of the skateboarding documentary, Salad Days. A film by Larry Ransom. Narrated by Mike Vallely. Hailed by some viewers as a "universal story" and "the perfect reminder to why you started skateboarding in the first place", SALAD DAYS is as real as it gets. Told through stunning visuals, insightful interviews, this film, narrated by Mike Vallely, explores friendships, growing pains and most of all the passion for skateboarding from four run-of-the-mill kids from the small town of Lockport, NY in the 1980s and early 90s. Watch Eric Shugats, Joe Cassenti, Chris Fritton and Larry Ransom tell the tales of their discovery and love of skateboarding, adversities they faced, the times they shared and how it all ended in one fateful summer in 1992. Documented and directed by Larry Ransom and produced by Mike Vallely, Salad Days is the culmination of archived photographs and video which in turn documents skateboarding in a way that has never been seen before - through the eyes of everyday skaters - not professionals or industry giants. This unique perspective makes SALAD DAYS one of the most vital and important skateboard films ever made. < less
