Michael Mankong | Skeleton Grip Promo

It's true, the man, the myth, the Youtube commenter Michael Mankong does ride scooters.  He rides officially for Skeleton grip, Steve Fales' new grip company.  Front board was hella gnar bro.  Also, dope shoes.

EDIT:  Calm down, I was kidding.  Mike also shoots a lot of photos of a lot of pro riders and gets hooked up for sending them into their sponsors.  It's like you guys only read what I say so you can take offense.  The internet is serious business.

2013 Highlights from NY

Michael Mankong sent me this video of some of NY's up and coming riders over the past year. Some familiar faces in there, and some that you might not recognize. I really love seeing the scene in NY, it's constantly growing, and you gotta thank the OG NY riders for that. Some of these dudes can use some work, but a lot of them have some solid clips for sure. Check it out, and let's see what these guys can do in 2014.

Parktage 1 (NYC)

Michael Mankong was at it again filming some of the local NYC riders doing their thing in the parks, rather than the streets. Gotta love how NY has really blown up in the past few years, tons of talented riders, and more and more popping up all the time. Check this one out.
