NEW YORK (WABC) — A New York City high school is now offering a skateboarding class for credit, one of a wide range of quirky physical education electives available to students.
The skateboarding elective is offered as a gym class to 9th and 10th graders at East Side Community High School. It began in February as an after school program but has since morphed into a for-credit pursuit.
The district also offers yoga classes at some schools as well as the Brazilian martial art capoeira at Lehman High School in the Bronx.
One Department of Education official says there has been a shift from the usual fare of basketball or volleyball to “an overall culture of fitness.”
High school students are required to complete at least seven semesters of physical education.

Finally the first Ride of the Insomniac Boarders Society, and it has a cause!

On Wednesday, jan 20th, we will be meeting in Prospect Park to hang out and slide for an hour or so, before heading to a local Cafe for movie night.

At 8 p.m. (roughly) Vox Pop, a very cool local coffee shop and venue will be showing a documentary, Poto Mitan: Haitian Women, Pillars of the Global Economy (2009, 50min). They will also be collecting money for the Haiti support group Partners in Health, which has been operating in Haiti for over 20 years and runs many Hospitals and Clinics throughout the country. (Donation is not required to join this event)

Just before 8 oclock, after meeting up in prospect we will bomb the 16th st hill and head down to vox pop a short 10 block ride from the park. We will head down E12th St till we get to 1022 Cortelyou Rd, where the cafe is.

Sorry for the late notice, but anyone who can come out tomorrow night should come ride a bit and then support a very worthy cause, organization and cafe.

Next week LOOSEWORLD is teaming up with philly phenomenon Chiddy Bang to film the music video for their newest single The Opposite of Adults. We are looking for a group of skaters to feature in the video. While we are looking for skaters (as well as BMXers and Breakdancers) of every age and race, we are looking specifically for One 8 to 15 year old Black Male and One 8 to 15 year old White Male.

They will be casting these roles by the weekend, so time is definitely of the essence.

Here are some details:
All talent will be needed for ONE FULL DAY during the span of January 24th through Wednesday, 27th. Final schedule will be disclosed upon selection. Shooting will take place in Manhattan’s LES. Talent must be able to provide their own reliable transportation.
