Looks like HBO finally got its mojo back. With new hit shows like How to Make it in America and new promising shows to come such as Boardwalk Empire, Cocaine Cowboys, and Treme; it looks like HBO is back! Adding to that line-up, take a look at this documentary about the skating scene in NYC. "The Get By: Making it on the Streets of NYC” chronicles the lives of New York City skaters, and their struggle to hustle their way through the Big Apple and make it to the top of the skateboarding world. The highlights feature Jake Johnson, Gino Iannucci, Black Rob, Anthony Pappalardo, and Jahmal Williams. All these skaters are considered the best of the best and are in high demand and rarely seen on film. Very inspiring (and I'm not even a skater).

Pipo..thanks for this one....its all ive really done for at least 22 years of my life...
You mean skating or getting by? I found this doc especially inspiring because it shows just some regular dudes barely making a living out of their passion, fully aware that their days are numbered in terms of living off of skating. Life is beautiful and cruel all at the same time. I thought this video did a great job of capturing that dichotomy.
really I guess you could say both...
