Full Video of Subway Tracks Ollie, Other Mayhem


June 23, 2014 | Marina Galperina

Koki Loaiza’s insane ollie over the train tracks at the 145th Street station in Harlem was made famous by Allen Ying‘s photo, but there’s more to that iconic capture. Check out the full, freshly-released short video directed by Colin Read (aka MandibleClaw) from the Tengu: God of Mischief box set. See the skaters wreak havoc in the subway system, complete with riding off escalator ramps, rushing occupied train cars and zigzagging around unsuspecting commuters down the entire length of inclined walkway tunnels — a feat that looks as dangerous to film as it is to execute, if not more. The glory shot, and its failed attempts, can be seen around the 2:30 mark. The video also features Jacob Ireland’s pounding soundscape comprised entirely of subway noises.
