New York native Sam William was recently interviewed by Universe Magazine, a pop culture mag from Japan. The interview covers Sam’s involvement in skating and at the same time showcases some of his own skating. The website is in Japanese but I’ve provided a link that uses the assistance of google translate to help you read. If you’re too lazy and don’t want to do either, watch the tight little video they put together.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who participated and sent in an entry for the contest. It’s truly an awesome feeling to be able to motivate individuals to get out there and skate something other than the typical local spot. That being said, we were suppose to announce the winner yesterday on April, 5th but I’ve been swamped with work, we have a lot of other collaborations in line for the warmer season.
So I’m sure people already knew but the winner is Anthony Chen with his edit from Shanghai, China which was produced by Paul Imperio. The edit was put together quite impressively and amongst most things, we felt super honored that someone would choose to represent our city a long way from home. That being said, we’re sending you your three shirts ASAP Chen.
On another note though, we do feel awful about Joey Lunger breaking his ankle for the contest so we’re sending him a few shirts as well for putting the time and effort into producing something worth watching. Hope you recover soon dude. To everyone else who participated and supported, thanks a million! Thank you for also doing your best to follow the rules! We truly appreciate it and hopefully we can get more companies to collaborate with I Roll NY and help get the NY scene motivated to build. Be on the lookout for the next contest featuring our new line of shirts. Boom!
Winners:
1. Anthony Chen
2. Joey Lunger
Below are all of the entries from both winners and the rest of the great submissions.
Follow through to the other side for more submissions.
Hope some people are excited for the least. We teamed up with I Roll NY to hook up some lucky skater w/ some OD shirts. Support the grassroots movement! Can’t wait to see some dope entries. Take care NY! Details below.

Rules: Must be ONE MINUTE long. Has to be a random spot or a spot never captured on camera. I know some people may be thinking that’s hard but we suggest going to your nearest city or plaza and trying something new. Not hard at all. We highly encourage gaps, handicap rails, or even more creative.. an edit with no grinding at all! Also, NO park, p-rails, or boxes. We know it’s cold. Get out there and get busy please. Get creative!

FEATURED ON: I Roll NY
Just as the title suggests. New year, new look. We’re trying to get things lined up for the very anticipated warm weather. The choice was made to go with a standard scrolling website due to many complications in the old websites function. Although we sacrificed the horizontal scrolling, we implemented a portfolio style layout to help display our work as a collective.
As for things to coming up very soon, we have a few interviews lined up with select figures in the NYC scene as well as a dope little edit contest that’s in collaboration with I Roll NY. I’ll be announcing that later today.
I also have to say that I’m glad that the site is now iphone4 friendly so you should be able to access the site directly at onedayny.com as frequent and hassle free as possible.
