Sitting in Tompkins Square Park, on a nice Indian Summer day, occasionally pushing around—you could do a lot worse in life. The Vans team was in NYC in September, which might explain the Curren Caples clip here. Jiro is in there skating before Tompkins got repaved and repainted. Carlisle Aikens comes in with the power-popped, butter switch heels. Stay tuned at 3:00 when the parkour homie tries a backflip from board to board!
After the backflip intermission, we’re back on the blacktop with Carlisle absolutely killing it and some high flying stunts of his own by young Jiro.
At any rate, Naquan Rollings is one of our favorite filmmakers working in NYC right now and his edits are exquisite time capsules of what’s going on in the city that never sleeps.
Here’s that Vans week we were talking about earlier:
