Last night I attended Flip Skateboards "Extremely Sorry" video premier at Greenhouse in SoHo.  The video was a mix of skateboarding footage and animation making it extremely entertaining.  Hosted by Nolan Lee, Greenhouse's main room was packed with a skateboarders and lots of friends.  The video was played on two large screens and the open vodka bar kept the  crowd feeling nice.  If you know anyone into skateboarding this video would make the perfect holiday gift! 

For skate shops in NYC I recommend these places:
