15 years ago, who would have thought that you could be watching skate videos in Moma? Then did you ever think you’d be drinking Colt 45 watching a band (No Age) play next to a Rodin sculpture? I sure as hell didn’t.  Good time to be had last night, topped off by this amazing Chris Johanson poster detailed above.

“My friend Mickey covered a song Hensley skated to, so I had skaters cover his tricks for the video.” ~ Patrick O’Dell

Bones Brigade reunited.

After an enjoyable first issue a couple years ago, Volcomics 2 is now out and available for perusing digitally.  One note, if you’re on a 13-inch screen, forget about it.  Besides that, awesome.

Get some…

In honor of the MoMA retrospective Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years, PopRally has invited producer and photographer Patrick O’Dell (of Epicly Later’d) to create a special compilation of seminal skateboard videos from the 1980s to today. Jonze, whose own contributions to the genre will be featured, notes that, “Skate videos have been a big influence and a big part of what I’ve done for a long time. They are how I got into film, actually.” This unique screening is followed by a conversation with legendary skateboarders and filmmakers, including Jonze, Lance Mountain, Greg Hunt, Jake Phelps, Ty Evans, and other surprise guests.

Afterward please join us upstairs for a special performance by NO AGE.

The program begins promptly at 7:30.

Special thanks to Nike SB, Altamont Apparel, LTD, and ACE HOTEL NEW YORK for their sponsorship of this event. Beer generously provided by Colt 45.

Guests of this event receive an exclusive limited-edition poster by Chris Johanson
