It's been a little bit since that freak February storm back in 2021. The streets of New York City were hit hard, and we still remember the handful of crews that flocked to buried handrails in Manhattan and the Bronx. It was the first time in what felt like forever that street snowboarding and NYC paired together, and even typing that seems like a fever dream.

Since then, we haven't seen too many (upstate) New York clips pop up in any other videos aside from Hell Gate. Andy Conte, Tommy Barger, Hollis Dupre, and the rest of the NY-based crew found the goods back then for their debut video Hell Gate, and three years later they're still putting on for the Big Apple. A few new additions and locations this time around, but it's still clear that the Tri-State area is alive and well—you just have to know where to look (and shovel).
