Originally released in 1998, the Zoo York Volume 1 Mixtape has been in hiding for over a decade. Re-released by [urban blogger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-2) T.R.O.Y on August 29th, 2010, this 40 minute clip is often revered as the underground urban scene's holy scripture.

The clip's content showcases the craziest of crazy skateboard tricks executed by some [pro-skate legends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-through-skateboarding). The utter coolness of the clip is emphasized by the [40-minute hip-hop mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo45-sound-system) in the background, which is the Zoo York Volume 1 Mixtape.
