Video of the Day: Skateboarding in Brooklyn
For anyone accustomed to watching skate kids fall off their boards in Washington Square Park, the above video will serve as entertainment redeeming of the skater community. Equipped with adequate knee pads, gloves, and skill, a group of young men work their way down "Watchtower Hill" in Brooklyn. Staying upright on the board is less a badge of honor than indicative of a lack of creativity. Great soundtrack too.

This reminds me of the days of the Search for Animal Chin.
Animal Chin, nope, go further back to the original Bones Brigade Video Show.
such a serious hill. I hate biking up it, but it sure is fun to go down it!
