The Jersey Shore has been getting some bad press lately because of those attention craving idiots on that show. Well, I have a solution to the problem, as in Ron "The Solution" Deily. Not everyone who dwells in that strip of US coastline is tanned out, gelled out clown. Check out some leftover footage of one of the Jersey Shore's finest, The Solution himself:

Zoo York's much anticipated new skate flick, State of Mind, premiered the other night in New York City to three packed showings. The sidewalk in front of the theater was lined with members of the local skate scene, visiting West Coasters there for Skate Weekend, and randoms who happened to stumble upon it.

I had arrived in The Big Apple earlier that day, so you know I was going to check it out. There was so many people there, and the theater was huge, so everyone got a chance see the steazy ripping. I actually forgot how good the Zoo team is. East coast legends like Aaron Suski, Zered Basset and Donny Barley, mixed with some newer faces like Brandon Westgate, Chaz Ortiz and Ron Deily, made the video legit. I'd have to say my three favorite sections were Zared, Brandon and Suski. It was also cool to see footage of Chaz not on a contest course. There's a trailer and some photos I took from the night below:
