Deathbowl to Downtown
For the screening of “Deathbowl to Downtown,” 5Boro Skateboards is issuing a limited series of two deck sets (50 pairs) to help promote the movie. The Deathbowl deck has an old school shape and the Downtown deck is of the more modern/current style. Pictured below are Felix Arguelles and Eli Gesner, NYC OG pro and DC brand manager Jeff Pang with Jocko Weyland (wrote the movie, among other things), more local notables Mike Hernandez and Rodney Torres, and the man himself, Steve Rodriguez of 5Boro.
Skateboarding’s street revolution owes a big part to Manhattan. “Deathbowl…” is the first film to really explore skateboarding’s urban history in-depth, including many of the 70’s pioneers and current players in the game. Chloe Sevigny narrates the film and major artists, such as the Beastie Boys, have contributed music. The NYC preview of “Deathbowl to Downtown – The Evolution of Skateboarding in New York City,” is happening May 8, at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center. Attendees of will receive a custom giftbag designed by Worship Worthy and graphic designer Steve NIsh containing the an elephant print Nike SB wallet, Nike SB Staple Design Pigeon socks, Keep Koozie, 5Boro skateboard magnets, and a Mountain Dew Green Label Art Bottle designed by Chuck Anderson.
