“Ok, so here’s the official press release to address all of the rumors about the Create Originals pro team. When the three of us started Create, we had a vision for how we wanted to portray the company, team and image. Our goal is to provide the best for the skate community in all aspects, not only with our product but with our team image and riders as well. Basically, we wanted to offer more than a new product, we wanted to give the skate community something to be excited about and proud of. That being said, we at Create Originals are very proud to announce our TWO newest pro riders, Chris Farmer and Alex Broskow. We’re excited to have them on board and you can expect to see a lot of cool things coming from Create Originals in 2010. Welcome to the team fellas -Billy O’Neill.”

Adonis Taylor launches another behind the scenes sneak peak of what’s going on in our city. Making sure we all know that just because it’s cold out, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be out skating. “We’re officially across the border and in NJ Skatepark, Shields, but its all about spreading the NY love for rolling across the globe. Bladers generally hold a Thursday night skate when its too cold out. Fortunately for you, we were able to bring you a BTS with Franco Cammayo, Dave Lang, and Chauncey Jenkins. Also on deck was Yannes Sootes who got the official Franco seal of approval and welcome back to the NY Scene (Yannes has been through too much and having him back is another testament to the resilience of NY skating)” – Adonis Taylor.

eRolling caught up with co-creator of the Truth series, Austin Paz, about the latest installment, The Truth 2. Check out the mini interview below.
What got you started filming? How long have you been doing it?
My earliest memories of me filming was footage of me right before i got my first pair of Psiruses so I would say about 1999-2000ish. I’ve pretty much had a video camera ever since.
How much time went into making the Truth2?
We started filming for The Truth 2 right after we finished the first video, so its roughly 2 years of filming.
Any interesting stories while out filming?
One I think of off the top of my head was towards the last week or two of filming when it was crunch time and I had to meet up with Fish to finish his section/intro. So, I take a bus and ferry to meet him in the city and I take my camera out to shoot and I realized I left both my memory cards on my desk at home. I had to take the ferry and bus back to my house (which was an hour and a half each way) to get my memory cards then go back and meet him in the city. I completely missed all daylight to skate since I spent almost 8 hours on buses and ferries all day.
What is the best part of making a video?
I think the best part is seeing the final product after all the hard work, then getting the DVD’s back from the duplicator and holding it in your hands. That’s when you know all the months/years officially paid off.
Favorite spot for filming?
This is a hard one to answer but I might just say the Brooklyn banks because every time we go there, we get different kinds of clips each time and we always find a different thing to skate there.
Has making new videos gotten harder or easier as time has gone by?
It’s personally harder for me because I’m always the camera guy and it holds back from my own skating. It’s kind of frustrating sometimes when you’re at such a good spot and everyone’s all “film this, let me get this clip” and it’s hard to say no because these are potentially opportunities to make our video better. But I sometimes would rather just leave my camera at home and skate all day without having to worry about filming.
Any plans for the Truth 3?

Bronx, NY’s Shardy Nieves aka Pimp Juice documented a day in his life earlier in the week on one of the many cold days we’ve been enduring in NYC. It’s always good to see that our scene is rich enough that even the older heads are going in during this cold weather. Check out the edit…I mean documentary above and be jealous of the PB&J sandwiches. “Sometimes you have to put the production value aside and just film yourself having fun” – Shardy Nieves.
David Toro gets his second ONE Magazine Photo Journal this time featuring Bronx, NY’s Carlos “Loso” Montenegro at Drop-In Skatepark. “Carlos Montenegro, or as other rollers in NYC know him, “Loso,” laced this Topsoul in complete darkness. We began our day around 10 a.m. at Penn Station, waiting for people to meet up with us. But after many flakes, we were able to arrive at Drop In skatepark with only five minutes to spare. After walking tracks, hoping trains, and skating it all the way up hill from a long travel, we barely made it in. Everyone knows that most skateparks charge an entrance fee, but luckily the guys over at Drop In were kind enough to let us in for free after hearing our struggle to get there” – David Toro.
