Evotek’s own, Chris “Kixx” Cofer, sends us some pictures he snapped while filming a session with some NYC legends featuring, John Stephens, Rafael Herrera and Ramelle Knight. “…So I got a call from John Stephens at about 11:30am asking if I wanted to film at the pit. I had just finished drinking my breakfast vodka so I was up for anything. I took what ended up being a 10 minute train ride to the pit and met up with John. Shortly after Ramelle showed up with Ralphy and their friend Dave.” – Chris. Check out the rest of the pictures below.

The Create Originals Graphic Display frame also allows for all setups, flat-rocker, anti-rocker. freestyle, and tri-rocker, to be ridden right out of the box. Every pair includes four low profile Freestyle Grind Blocks, which extend the grinding surfaces seamlessly and create a freestyle setup that not only allows for more grinding freedom, but also keeps you locked into your groove tricks and eliminates the “slip off” factor commonly found in other freestyle setups. Since each set of frames possess four graphic display options, that can be interchanged and individually replaced, you have the ability to limitlessly and constantly express your individual style. Most importantly, you have the ability to create and insert your own designs! The Create Originals Graphic Display Frame marks the beginning of a renaissance in frame customization and performance. The possibilities are literally endless! More information on the Create Originals website. Sample pictures below.

Song is The Ting Tings – Shut up and let me go.

Rafael Herrera – Tru Mistrial (Click to enlarge)

When I (Craig) met up with Angelo Ferrer the night of the Boogie Down Show Down we gave each other a look that said, “Wow, there’s way too many crazy stunts to capture with just one photograph.” Luckily enough, Angelo came prepared with flashes surrounding the skate box, and captured a lot of great photos that froze some of the sickest tricks in time. You can see the rest of Angelo’s photos from the BDSD (Boogie Down Show Down) below and on his flickr page.
