You gotta love Google images on a shitty day... This is Franks Macchios stopping grounds in Queens, NY. At first glance of rolling up to this schoolyard park you'd think there wasn't much to do here.... show up when he is around and thats another story. This park has been seen in a few Manmade edits along with his part in Shook. Back when I first met Frank he would be here in rain, snow, sun, freezing temps... anything. His squad back then was pretty solid but the boys slowly dropped out of it while Frank is still crankin along today. Odds are almost 74.23% of the tricks Frank has in his arsenal (bmx and skating) were learned at this park. Expand your horizons and you can learn on anything.

Saw this shirt in the mall today. Lil' kid would look pimp in this with some fresh kicks.

Been slacking big time lately due to the freezing temps and not much going on over at the Manmade camp. Snowboarding is in full swing though... if you have any interest in old school long island bmx go on over to Tom Bivonas blog to watch some oldies. He put up a whole bunch of footie from the mid 80's up until about 2000. This video was from a local spot check that was in Props issue 8. I used to watch this section daily. I am pretty sure the same video had a Colin Winkelmann double backflip attempt also... way before that cheddah from the winter X Gaymes even dreamt of hitting a ramp with his snow sled. Granted, that shit was crazy. I wouldn't attempt anything close to that insanity... but he was prob wayyy overpaid to even attempt it (red bull, national guard....), didnt LAND it and celebrated with his entourage on the top of the landing like he won the world series for the Cubs. Winkelmann did that shit for free.

Our boy John Decaprio has a new line goin on out of Jersey called The Rapture. John had the ender part in our first ever Manmade video titled "riders from hell". I am sure if you search around the net you can find it somewhere... otherwise watch our dvd in the bonus area to check out that old flick. Anyway, John took a header yesterday filming for his Rapture trailer and in typical Decaprio fashion the dude shrugged it off like a man. Check out the clip at the end of this promo....

I worked at Woodward... believe me... the employees don't have nearly as much fun as they are portraying.
