new york – Page 2 – Caught in the Crossfire

Coast to coast, Brandon Westgate has been killing it for Emerica and generally making skaters across the world more hyped on raw, fast street skateboarding than they have in some time and as a result has earned his first pro shoe ‘The Westgate‘.

The shoe itself (pictured right) looks set to be an instant classic, a solid and durable looking mid-top similar to the brilliant Hsu pro model. The shoe is available in four different colourways in finer skate shops now.

To celebrate the release of the shoe, Emerica have released a part filled with previously unseen footage that somehow manages to rival his stonking part in Stay Gold. Have a look below, shit your bed a little bit and feel the need for an instant shred. Who else pushes downhill? Answers on a postcard addressed to NO ONE, THAT’S WHO.

If Quartersnacks isn’t one of your favourite websites on the internet then I’m not sure what’s wrong with you but you should probably sort it out. For those of you unlucky enough to be living underneath a rock, Quartersnacks is like a friendly local New York cornershop where skaters drink purple drink, muse about skate culture and swap bootlegs but in blog form. They’ve just put out a video compiling some of their favourite concrete ripping moments from New York City in 2010.

As always, it’s full of ill-lit shralping and sketchy landings and definitely worth your time, so go and watch it below and be sure to keep up to date with the Quartersnacks fam. We love ’em.
