This looks faker than surfers paddling the streets of NYC, but the Tosh 2.0 writers made due. As usual.

Dawn patrol on the streets of New York City. You know, as viral video from the movie Chasing Mavericks. And yes, it got our attention so apparently it worked. The movie opens in theaters Friday, October 26, 2012.

Countless memories have been created over the past two decades, and to help relive those experiences we asked 20 pros, ams, and industry leaders to share their SPoT stories with us. . . There will be 20 more episodes with the likes of Stefan Janoski, Andrew Reynolds, Tony Hawk, Brian Anderson, and many other iconic skateboarders explaining what SPoT personally means to them. Check out each episode, airing every Wednesday from now until Tampa Pro in March 2013 and share in the excitement of the Skatepark of Tampa 20 Year Experience.
Watching this it reminds us how a small group of people can have huge and positive impact if they’re passionate and they stick to doing what they know is right.

LA skater Charley Ford, 24, was in his car in Compton, California with another man and a 10-month-old baby Sunday afternoon (October 21, 2012) when, according to a story in the LA Weekly, “someone ran up, opened fire, and then fled on foot.”
It doesn’t seem clear if Ford was the intended target, but the other two inside the vehicle weren’t injured, deputies say: The department pointedly says the suspect “started shooting into the car at the victims. . . Ford was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.”
Our thoughts are with Ford’s family and friends.

NYC skateboarders didn’t let something as silly as a court order top their Broadway Bomb, according to a story in the NY Daily News.
Hundreds of scofflaw skateboarders gave Manhattan hell on wheels in Saturday’s “Broadway Bomb” road race, snarling traffic in an illegal mass ride from Morningside Heights to Wall Street. . . The skaters rolled south on Broadway from 116th St. to Bowling Green, defying a court order that outlawed the “dangerous” rally because it lacked permits. . . Cops tried to quash the race by stringing up temporary fences at intersections and ordering skaters onto sidewalks, but many just pushed onto side streets instead. . . “They’re like, ‘You can’t do this.’ We were like, ‘F–k off,’” said Ian McMahon, 18, a skateboarder from Killingworth, Conn. “We got so excited for this!”
A reported 1,500 skateboarders participated with no arrests nor injuries according to the story. They even had a podium with the top three finishers. Nice work, NYC.

There’s real snow piling up in the mountains, but we’re still stuck watching last year’s footage. If we’re going to have to watch some, however, it might as well be Ozzy Henning, right?

Scotty Vine sounds a bit like a motivation speaker in the text intro to his new full part 2 edit:
The 2011/12 winter was the most difficult test of my life in snowboarding. I worked with many talented people over the course of the season who directly or indirectly affected the outcome of this video part. I proudly present this video as a thank you to those who made it possible. It has been 14 years since I started snowboarding and I’m grateful to be able to say that it’s still my passion and I still love snowboarding.
Looks like all that hard work and passion paid off and who doesn’t need a little motivational speaker every now and again?

Yeah, we’ll pretty much listen to anything Jamie Thomas has to say about anything. Even when he’s at the same table with Bart Jones, Erica Yary, and Rob Brink. Just kidding. Check it all in this weeks Weekend Buzz.
