  • Manhattan Days is a film composed by Pontus Alv celebrating the Converse Cons Polar Skate Co. CTAS Pro and featuring Cons and Polar riders Aaron Herrington, Kevin Rodrigues, David Stenström, Jerome Campbell, Dane Brady and Pontus himself.
    Taking inspiration from back in the day when you skated all over the city we carted around some East Coast style plates and a pole jam in a skateable shopping cart and just let the skating happen. Enjoy.

    A true testament to the fact that skateboarding isn't a competition. You can tell these dudes are having fun and it's contagious.

    i find this so much more entertaining than watching nyjah frontside flip or sw crook a 12 stair. these are real dudes having fun and being creative as hell. not just some rich boy looking for sponsors and trying to be the best.

      +GabeTheLameKid I agree with you to a certain extent however both styles appeal to different people, Nyja is still good at what he does, its just what he does appeals to different people that may not like this. Should just accept all types of skating as long as it gets you gassed up to ride yourself.
