Legba's NYC Skate Show

[Legba]

Hey Fluckers,
I recently started hosting this web-series about skating in NYC.
This is the first episode featuring me as host.
I know I look a lil nervous, but I think I I warm up in later episodes.
Other than that, I hope some folks here enjoy it.

[Legba]

Mark: Mark Daugherty, the product of 5 years of laziness...and frequent washing. lol
Antwan: Yeah, its a HUGE community pool now. Its actually pretty nice. And Hell yeah, that sounds dope! Hit me up man.

Dude, what does that hairdo weigh?! It seems you could sustain some serious neck injuries because of it ;)

Anyways, cool watch, I will be looking out for more

[Legba]

Momadaddy: Thanks so much man, episodes should be coming out weekly from this point on, so I'll be putting them up here to.

Ohmid: Thanks dude! I've seen yours tho, proper locks!!! I wish man, its so nice out! I hurt my heel pretty badly in Tribeca last week. I cant skate for at least another week...Im dying inside lol

Inside: Aww damnit, I knew a Danny Brown reference was coming somewhere in this thread! Any time a light-skinned brotha decides to have a bang; he's Danny Brown. My knots took waaay longer than that dudes perm. Hahah, but yes, I wish I could hangout with Inside. <3

crni: its funny you say that, it's actually has gotten kind of hefty in these past few months. I know i have to either trim it or tie it up lol. But I appreciate you checking it out. I'll update this tread for each episode.

Thanks again for checking it out guys!

[m.seven]

glad I checked this out,i dig it!
I like hearing the average skater's perspective on their scene..and yeah man,reggae all day to skate to.just makes everything feel smooth and worry free.

I thought you and your hair did a good job hosting :D

[briden]

I thought you and your hair did a good job hosting :D

likewise

This made me want to go back to new york really bad.

[MarcoPoloUSN]

This is cool.

I watched the first Manhattan episode, and it's so interesting how Supreme went from being a laughable local shop to a wildly popular boutique.

[Ayreon]

pretty cool man

keep it up


someone should do a fake skating vid like this lol. Interviews and such

[Legba]

m.7: Much appreciated! The guy who said that was my favorite to interview, had me cracking up the whole time! Glad you liked it man, really am.

Briden: I'm so glad you said that! The whole point of the show is to make people wanna come skate here. Thanks again for watching.

Marco: It's crazy right? I have a very similar story. Dudes used to give me SO MUCH shit for wearing/skating in dunks back in 02-04. I heard everything from "Broke ass fake air forces" to "fake skate shoes/Nike doesn't make skate shoes"
Guys would really go in with that shit. Then by 05, everybody was buying em lol. The irony.

Ay: 1. Thanks for giving it a looksie man, glad you dug it.
2. Someone should totally do that! I wish they did that with Lb, live interviews with the stars of fakeskating? Sickness

[Legba]

[Trigger Timmo]

Love the dance moves legba, and i been meaning to comment about your FS flip in the first ep, nice, must be such a fun job/project,
us Australian skaters all want to come to new york, also looks sick you just pushing in slow mo across bridges..

[Legba]

Thanks Timmo! Hahaha, I had no idea the editor was gonna use any of that goof footage! It's a really fun project to work on. I hope it lasts! Lol. Yeah, that sketchy clip was the best I could get on the spot. I really wish I got more footage for these episodes, but I have a lot more for the next parts. :)
Hope you'll stay tuned!

[crni1976]

Fun watch man, I'll stay tuned

[m.seven]

these are great man,really looking forward to the next one

[Boxerman08]

Dude, Legba, this is a super dope idea! When I went to NYC about 4-5 years ago with my highschool back when I was a senior, we went there for like a weekend and couldn't skate because of those dumb school rules... seen soooo many dope spots though. I might actually go this summer (if I can save up some money) with a few homies to film for a full length I'm working on and also for an ad/teaser for my homie's company he's trying to grow. Would be sick if you could show us some dope spots around! ;)

[Legba]

M & Crni: Thanks again guys! I'm hyped and surprised to have such a positive reception!

Boxer: Gracias mane, and hell yeah! I'm always down to Sherpa for a party I approve of lol. But seriously, you'd be more than welcome!

[Legba]

Cardinal Shredimus Maximus (skit):

[Boxerman08]

Hell yeah, that'd be tight! I'll let you know if ever we do make it down there sometime! Amazing skit too, so jokes haha Live on Shredimus Maximus!

[saunders420]

Legba....when i see your hair it reminds me of this.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IrB1OE9Blo

Do something with that hair....either or Use some hand gestures and get some liveliness poppin in these videos.

[crni1976]

lol

[Legba]

Saunders: Reggie!!! I love that scene!!! And I completely agree with your critique. These episodes are just the pilot man. I didn't see any of the footage before YouTube just like anyone else who watched it lol. After seeing them, I now have a good idea of what I wanna do differently. Except for that skit...I was directed to be deadpan and unamused. This is my first video-journalism gig, the learning curve is steeper than I expected. The next ones will be better!

Thanks for watching Holmes!
