God bless Kem, he got me hooked on the Maestro Knows series of online shows.

If you haven’t…please do here and here

But….I just found this awesome film by 13th Witness that they posted on the site and had to share it!

Enjoy!


NYC is the handball’s Mecca – here is a cool article on the sport!

“Each borough, each neighborhood in the city, used to have its own handball culture, its own legends, its own stories,” he said. “You had Lincoln Terrace and Avenue P in Brooklyn, and Crotona Park and Macombs Dam in the Bronx. You had nicknames galore: there was Jittery Jack and No-Shoes Benny, and you had the Deacon — not because he was religious, but because he always wore black.”

    As usual, the americans have taken the liberty of claiming something that isn’t theirs. In this case the name of a sport that doesnt belong to them.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handball

    The sport shown above is American Handball, not the olympically recognized sport of Handball (aka Team Handball).

    I personally prefer Patball to American Handball, but each to their own ^_^
