Chad Muska’s evolution from a homeless teenager to one of the most-hyped skateboarders of all time led him through Hollywood, high fashion, and the international art scene.
A bunch of clips from R.B. Umali's "NY Revisted" series and a quick QS bonus reel at the end :)
After five long years of construction, Astor Place is back. Along with the refurbished Cube, the redesigned plaza includes new outdoor seating, fresh trees and landscaping, and restored lampposts from the Mosaic Man. But the new Alamo Plaza features a few additions that are unwelcome to some of its most loyal visitors: “no bike riding or skateboarding” signs spaced at regular intervals around the Cube....
“It’s a nice place for all the skaters to come get together,” Darnell said. “It would really suck if they took it away.”
Way back when 1989, growing up with Huf and Keenan filming their video part when we skated for OD's skateshop on 38th st. bet. 9th and 10th (Hell's Kitchen). It was the most awesome but raunchy shop in NY at the time. Talk about Hookers, Drugs and Violence OH MY!! HAHAHA!! all around us while we were figuring out our lives on our stunt wood.
A few years back pre pandemic we were lucky to be hosted by In4mation with a great exhibit featuring some great skate history and art.
Good times were had as always.... Shot & edited by Vincent Bercasi

Stevie went from underground to worldwide recognition with this part. He also helped spotlight manual skating as both a science and an art form. Vincent Alvarez introduces this 1999 classic.
Marcus has always been rad and this is one of his better parts, including his crazy, unexpected Hubba Hideout ender. Beagle One-ism intoduces a classic part from 1996.
