(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

(0:58) In the late 80s, a bunch of skaters who were bored in the wintertime inadvertently made snowboarding what it is today. They filmed each other not with any sort of historic legacy in mind, but just because that’s what you do when you’re a bunch of dudes who ride around on a piece of fiberglass in the snow all day. Then people saw these videos and started to realize the potential for tricks and big air on a snowboard, and everything else took off from there. For whatever reason, most snowboarders have never embraced their forerunners with the same enthusiasm as skaters and surfers. That’s why VBS decided to make this show—as a way of giving credit to the people who took snowboarding from a fringe hobby to something people get paid stupid amounts of money to do.
