5Boro has just dropped some new boards including this fresh “Stick Up” series. Nodding back to the old New York when stickups actually use to happen, the series features five funny armed robbery scenarios. The best one, of course, is the cop getting jacked by the skaters. In other 5Boro news, founder Steve Rodriguez had a dope feature in the New York Time’s “Sunday Routine” section, where he takes the author through, you guessed it, his Sunday routine. It’s a rad one though. KCDC should have these decks in soon.
