Chilly Willy.

Took advantage of Summer Fridays with JP and took a ride to BK with PZA. Cruised over the Williamsburg Bridge from Manhattan for the first time to check out Boundless NY and King Cog. Saw our old skate homey Teddy Ted in a clip from a recent article on the Brazilian blog: thehypebr.com for the shop and went to see what's up since we lost touch.



Always great to get back to long lost family. Big thanks for blessing us with some King Stampede gear. Get Some!


If you hit up their blog you can DL some of his DJ Mixes. Pretty tight.

It was great to hear DJ Teddy King still is keeping the Hop Hop turntable dream alive.

Under Teddy Teds recommendation for a proper BK slice spot, we hit up La Nonna. Pretty decent. Classic NY with some Neapolitan flavor. Solid crust with gracious toasted cornmeal on the upskirt although slightly too crisp, clean sauce a little on the sweet side- juss how I like it, and some good quality cheese. Definitely demands a return visit.



PZA crushing an always refreshing Coca-Cola.

Checked out King Kog, which was as exciting as a lesbian hipster owned fixed gear bike shop could get, then rolled over to the RECON outlet. Great joint with rare incredible finds at bargain basement prices. Picked up a Futura Labs skate bag for $40.

I find it amazing that artists like Stash and Futura can sell a well-designed sneaker that can demand from $400 to $4000, but they can't sell streetwear(?) Who does their marketing? Teddy Ruxpin? Peaced out with JP and headed back to Queens via a nice cruise over the Pulaski Bridge. Today was a good day.
