Please Buy My Computer

$500. I need this to put forth for my new computer to make more awesome shit for this site. Tell a friend, tell a relative, tell a newborn niece and nephew.

Laptop For Sale

$550 and it's yours!

I'm selling it. 15" MacBook Pro from 2007. 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, clean and working well. Only issue is the battery being totally dead and the charger being a nag. Here's the Craigslist ad. All the contact info and specs are on there with some photos. The sooner someone buys it, the faster I get back to editing clips and photos!

Best Photos Ever

If you love skateboarding, love New York, and love seeing skateboarding from New York, you HAVE to check these photos out. Bill Eppridge, whoever or wherever you are, thank you for taking these. Also, thanks to LIFE Magazine for making them available. Check out the rest of 'Retronaut' for awesome archived gold.

To Everyone Who Visits This Site...

...my computer failed me once again, deterring any clips or photo uploads or anything of that nature to be put up for the next month or so. I'll try to do some text and link updates but as I said above, don;t expect skating or drunk Nelson photos to be up anytime soon. You can always try the b0bawesome Twitter page though for some random every-day sights, findings, and words.

Also, anyone know of some manual labor jobs that need to be done? Winter ain't cold but money IS tight.

God Forgives, b0b Don't

"White giiiirls, goin' wild"

To correct myself from the Spanky post, it's Meek Mill who made the song used in the Ishod X Quartersnacks remix trailer. After only about 234543 hours spent on trying to find the song, I finally found "House Party" with the luck that 'related videos' gave me. And yes I am indeed obsessed with it now. Funny how so many rappers are so blatantly catering to white kids like me these days. Fuck it, whatever sells I guess. I will pardon them for this and Gucci Mane songs but Lil B, I will not forgive.

Shout Out To My Pinky Ring

These fuckin' guys

A new clip went up this morning with some footage we got over the last two weeks. Like I said last week, we were at the Seaport several times and actually got to skate for longer than four seconds each time. Funny story: a guard came and kicked us out and then started telling us his whole story of how most of the time skaters cuss him out on a daily basis and then he appreciated us understanding. Also funny how he technically didn't "kick us out", he just said we can't grind the ledges. Because, you know, this isn't built for skateboarding. Anyways, the rest of the clip features footage from Brower Park, the best ledges in Brooklyn in my opinion, and a few clips from a really really long session at the BQE spot. Features David Spodofora, David Nelson, Nolan Mayer, and Mike Burrill.

Enjoy

Fashion Week x Art Edition

Max C Strong

Ramiro Davaro-Comas is having an art show at the Orchard Windows Gallery starting the 27th and running until March 4th. The opening reception is on Wednesday the 29th from 6-9pm at 37 Orchard St. To see more work or contact Ramiro and friends, check out Truco Studios. And here's the flyer for the reception.

Our friend Max Strong has been in North Africa for a little while and has been compiling some great photos of life around Morocco and Egypt. Check them out here. Apparently, there's no police in post 2011 revolution Egypt, making these photos that much more awesome.

Fashion week is for rich people. Unfortunately, that is the sad truth that I've been battling all five days of it so far. The good part about fashion week is seeing the plethora of models from all over the planet lurking around Soho and the East Village in bunches. The bad part (aside from being too poor to enjoy it) is that a dude like Jeremy Scott is killing the game. If you missed it, he was at the Adidas Wooster St. location last Friday wearing tassels on his American flag Adidas track suit. There's two nights left so if anyone of you readers know of open bar receptions at high end retail locations in NYC, holla at me.

If you missed the last post, there's some new photos up on Flickr. Click the 'photo' tab on the top right of the page.

Some Shots

I put up some new photos on the Flickr page, documenting the last few weeks of this beautifully mild winter. You can either go there or click the "Photos" tab to the right. And yes, Nelson has an upside down cross shaved into his chest hair.

Put Codiene In My Sprite, I'm An Astronaut Outta Site

RIP girl.

Everyone has their vices they depend on. I don't necessarily mean strictly substance abuse or gambling problems or anything like that but for the sake of the argument, I'll stick with both. When we're young, we don't realize that some of the things that the D.A.R.E. officers talked about would one day be a thing to look forward to. With the recent passing of Whitney Houston and other small unimportant things I saw over the past few days, I figured I'd post my thoughts:

Marc Johnson sat down with Aaron Meza and filmed an episode of "Crail Couch" in which he kept it real about alcohol. Seems like getting mature is a growing trend in the world of skateboarding. I back it.


Gucci Mane previews his drug of choice, the cigarette. I wonder if it's American Spirit or Bali Shag?


This Jeezy track is pretty self explanatory. It's in my top three tracks off of TM 103 for sure.


And of course, Juicy J, has to get the ender for most fucked up. Growing up, I always knew each member of the Triple 6 click had a favorite drug but I feel like 'bars' is a new chapter of substance abuse for Juiceman.


Get wavy with your significant other tomorrow, it's the 14th of February already.

The Feeling-Like-Kabul-in-91 Friday Post

This is what plagues this household while
simultaneously aiding this website.

In a recent turn of events, 169 Bar has decided to raise their beer and shot deal from $5 to $6, crippling any further hope in the future of humanity. No longer can you depend on a simple and straightforward $5 price tag that is so often revered by the poor and infamous in neighborhoods all over the city. Oh well, either way, we'll probably be there next weekend anyways.

If you're in the pioneer valley this evening, go to Unite to check out good friend Ramiro Davaro-Comas' artwork. If you'd like to view more of his work, click here.

The Mike Carroll 'Modus' part is still one of the best parts that ever came out, hence, the repost of it 15 words back.

The SLAP one in a million contest is maintaining the soft vibe that it started off with. I actually sat and watched more footage of Matt Millitano, the first dude to get eliminated, and am kind of into that dudes skating. It's a shame that he's out of the contest but judging by the amount of footage he accumulated for all the clips Colin Reade put out, he definitely didn't fly home after two days in the city. Also, I now can kind of see why people like Lurker Lou. Honesty is always a good thing and brutal honesty is always entertaining. As the equation goes: SLAP = online magazine, online = infinite mainstream for the sake of business, magazine = information and entertainment, skateboard contest = judged by people. Therefore, Lurker Lou = brutally honest judge + entertaining + generates racks for SLAP. Just got to take it for what it is.

Is there a make-at-home recipe for Airborne or Emergen-C? Let me know ASAP.
