ZOOYORK

The cool people from theforgottencity.com have put up a lovely article on Harold Hunter
They also included a link to his
Original Zoo York Mixtape part (circa 1997)

Thanks for the link Kier!


Today I met up with Dr. Z.. he just got back from an East Coast DVS tour and also picked up a new sponsor..

FORCE TRUCKS

EMPIRE DISTRIBUTION


The weather is gettin’ lovely here in the city and we went to a popular metal ledge in Tribeca. Here’s a photo of Zered warming up with a backside 5-0 grind on his new force trucks.

One day last year Zered was skating this ledge in Tribeca when the famous actor Tom Hanks walked out of the building.. The celebrity was in awe with what Zered was doing and told him that he is crazy and should put a helmet on when performing his death defying stunts..
Zered’s buddy “Lurker” Lou may not
as popular as Tom Hanks
But he came along anyways to keep Zered company
because skating by yourself feels a little weird..
Especially if the cameras are on you.

Here is a small sample of some awesome spots I visited on my recent filming trip to the Bay Area


Sweet bump to rail.



Miller got a clip at this empty fountain ledge.



This gap to ledge got touched with a Pepper combo.



Harsh bank to wall.

Rob was really excited to see a certain 80′s skate-rock band play on Friday. In true skate rat fashion he departed us and even had his entire outfit planned for the event weeks in advance.. Vision Street wear, Tight Shorts a Nash Executioner (mall grabbed of course).. and a McSqueeb Hairdo!

To get to the middle of an Independent Truck?
Joey & Rob are having a little friendly contest with each other to see who can grind all the way thru the an Indy..


Both of them are well into the axles and grinding daily… If you don’t grind you don’t shine!


Joey likes his pivot grinds to fakie.. Cruiser wheels in a line!


Rob Welsh has been staying in AZ lately.. he heard i was coming out to SF for a visit so he came out to film some tricks and add receipts.. He’s gonna have a bangin’ part in the highly anticipated upcoming
Lakai video – “Fully Flared”


Joey’s on a strict physical training program to help him throw down 20 stair triple kink hammers for his video part..

We drove out to Sacramento so Matt Miller could handle some business over this red rail into a bank.


Here he is warming up with the best trick ever.. an ollie.


Matt & Joey made a bet that He couldn’t pull his switch manuever in 10 tries.. Every time he lands on it he gets another try.. and if he doesn’t roll away in 10 tries his Steeler’s pride will be taken away as he is forced to wear a Patriot’s Jersey for an entire day!Matt eventually rolled away, but unfortunately it took a bit longer than 10 tries.. Jeff Landi was there to take the sequence.. and if Matt’s lucky maybe you guys will see the sequence in an upcoming Skateboard Mag or Zoo York Ad.. until then, you’re just gonna have to wait til the video drops.. I told Matt that his trick was so dope that if the Zoo vid has to come out tomorrow, he’s already got an ender! Still waiting for Pepper to send me some digital documentation of Miller in a Pats Jerz!!
