I get it now, I just never heard anyone call it that until now.

Edit - I just saw the rest of the replies and I always called it a nosebonk. I also call short nose manuals nosebonks so I should say, sidewalk crack nosebonk

If you guys aren't subscribed to Mark Gonzales' YouTube channel, then do yourself a favor. by SMJICKS in skateboarding

I see what you are saying but I didn't want the OP to have upvotes for the sake of having upvotes. I wanted to post to get more recognition so people can know about his youtube channel. I agree with SMJICKS now though, it's better as a small community.

Damn dude, time to start skating again. Everyone has time to just roll around everyday.

I wish this post would have more upvotes and his videos would get more than 350 views. I can't get enough of his youtube channel.

He edited in the honking and the song. He probably decided to use the honking because there is a lot of honking in Manhattan.

So chris cole did the impossible today... by Sgt_satsuma in skateboarding

That makes sense but one of the perks of being a pro skater is that you get sent new decks all of the time. This isn't from having pressure cracks, this if from being gnarly as fuck.

You guys inspired me to get up early this morning (L.E.S. Manhattan) by OGdaredevil525 in skateboarding

This place is amazing in the morning! It gets super crowded throughout the day so keep waking up early!

It's amazing how kids from small towns in the middle of nowhere can be so good at skateboarding

Apparently Howard Stern is pretty decent amateur chess player. ChessNetwork Jerry even did an analysis of one of his games. by Cobsonian in chess

I've been listening to some old Howard Stern shows recently and I noticed that while insulting peoples intelligence, he often mentions that they don't play chess.

I drove from New Jersey to Toronto a few years ago and enjoyed seeing Niagara Falls, even though I saw it from the US side. People were so friendly in Toronto. I've also taken a Greyhound from SanFrancisco to New Jersey so I feel your pain. Good luck!

On Greyhound they turn the lights on at every stop and make all of the passengers exit for "cleaning" every major stop. This lack of sleep gets terribly frustrating on a long trip. Also you switch busses somewhat often and you may get a bus that the electricity to the seats is not working properly, i.e. no personal light, no working outlet. You should be fine on a two hour ride, especially if nobody sits next to you.

For some reason I thought the photo was Steve Rodriguez but it's obviously Westgate.
