Sneaking Into Roosevelt Island with Julian Lewis

When the Etnies team and their newest rider Julian Lewis, came to town, we figured why not test our luck and see if we can send them to Roosevelt Island (a random sliver of land known for high security) to get a clip or two. They came back with two NBDs and a little extra something for their troubles.

“Dude that fakie flip was worth a court appearance” 😂😂👌🏾

[@davidgunn1163]

eh, probably not worth at least a $500 fine imo lol

[@RuinYourDayNow]

That fakie flip was super dope!!! Very pretty spot didn’t even know that was there

[@GettingGood]

worried about horrifying the kids for life if he bailed bad, what a stand up statement! Very nice, Thanks for quality content Jenkem!

[@johnnyterra1309]

im 2 minutes into this video and i just thought the exact same. amazing guy and state of mind!

[@JohnSmith-cd1gm]

Stoked that other people caught that. Brother earned a fan for life with that little thought spoken aloud

[@hippywolf]

That is what I was thinking to-what a good dude.

[@gregpnavarro]

Love a good sketchy mission. Jenkem specialty right here. Of course on the Raspa cam.

[@abnrmlgenetx9388]

Awesome! Love these renegades!! Thanks

[@pauldavis7903]

So happy to see Slash Hansen and Ernie Torres on the scene.

hometown hero

[@pxsner]

best dude out

[@heribertoaguilarplaza6335]

He is a super skater, this is his moment.....

[@eldrs-]

why is that area closed down now? It used to be open to the public I thought

[@AdamGFilm]

Back three was on

[@rippendale]

What about the hubba/rail by the stairs in the background? Doable?

[@kevvymetal666]

apparently its closed on tuesdays. guessing this was a tuesday.

[@indubtalo]

Hell yeah, I’m from the UK can someone explain what it actually means to get a ticket? Do you have to pay a fine and does it stay on your record?

[@santosjohnson6401]

you can either pay a fine or dispute it in court typically. it goes on your record in any circumstance though

[@BRIDGEBURNERSTV]

Back 3, just like that…

[@TheWhyer]

What do I have to do to become as cool as Julian Lewis?

Way to steep lol

[@kaleidoscopex7213]

Azn dude with last name “Lewis” that’s a first lol

[@smallfaucet]

This isn't incriminating at all.....not even a little.

[@keithmcaleer4068]

What a bullshit story for people that have never been to New York. You just take the tram way. Its like 3 bucks. I don't know if it's been shut down. Because people that live here don't fucking do it. Good spot though

[@subSB]

Shout out everyone that doesn't let fear or fences dictate how they live their lives. This video is siiiiick.

[@mlombardo9]

Shit hit me deep ty

[@subSB]

@@mlombardo9 just you mentioning that struck my heart my heart pretty hard 🙏

[@3toadbroth]

hop the wrong one and you could really be in trouble though, if it's private property, you can get shot, not just a ticket.

[@slimkim3046]

these are some real homies willing to get a ticket to see their boy shine

[@robbglow]

The judge is going to want to see those tricks for video evidence, if he likes them you’re free to go.

[@TheHexicle]

Smash or pass skateboard court edition

[@scumXskates]

I went once to contest a trespassing ticket in hopes the “arresting” officer wouldn’t show, the cop brought a witness, and when the judge realized this was over skateboarding he immediately stopped proceedings and I ended up with a summer of 7am community service.

[@robbglow]

@@scumXskates a whole summer? I don't know what's more extreme, skateboarding or that punishment.

[@mashumclellan]

fakie flip to court appearence is a sick line. Might have to try that one out.

[@BERNIE817]

That was insane! That dude is no joke, went straight into handling business!

[@whatmemories3728]

Pay for that ticket Jenkem

[@B.E.C.K.]

Wow. Jenkem keeps on killing it. That was great

[@eSsk811]

Love seeing a skater from Connecticut make it. R.I.P vertigo skatepark

[@johnnyc.3261]

Damn, such a cool shot with Manhattan in the background. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joshkatz]

So sick. Would love to see the photos, too.

[@mfdoom479]

Fakie flip to court appearance, such a sick line 🤣

[@etnies]

Yeah Julian!

[@GettingHyphy]

Yeah Etnies

[@rajs4719]

Why is this island so guarded?

[@Toaster___Bath]

I tried to google it but it seemed like its open to the public?

[@zackpidgeon]

The island is basically like a gated community or something they’re kinda snobby but this specific part of the island is a presidential memorial park and they’re especially strict on security, it’s open to the public most days but they will confiscate your skateboard if you walk in with one cause they’re aware it’s a spot

[@lurkerlew2136]

this is the opposite of putting a yellow sign up in your million dollar private skate warehouse

[@WheelMarks]

Everything about this clip is awesome

[@eye_straindigital]

I was wondering when someone was gonna hit this spot. 100% chance of getting busted but still worth it haha

[@TR7Skate]

"how you gunna get out" 🤣🤣

[@OsoGP]

jenkem killing the game rn

[@PilgrimShred]

Jenkem is putting out the best skate content these days. Real shit.

[@AgainstPureReason]

shit... that back tre was beautiful .. like fucking ballarina

[@zakmccracken]

What a wonderful spot. Fakie flip killed it :D !

[@robertgilfillan3221]

fakie flip a sketch trick to try on that, but it didn't seem too hard for him

[@joecasanova918]

what are some tricks that have been done here in the past? back 3 and fakie flip were so good!

[@boomah47]

CT's finest

[@nicksgarage5395]

That session and view was definitely worth the ticket

[@Burgerss]

Lightwork for Julian

[@spacecadet1543]

Julian hooked me up with some ojs’ at my local like 2 months ago sick ass foo

[@reportedstolen3603]

Always look for multiple points of entry lol...I always wanted to skate the plaza there

[@kevinkrutz924]

These are the vids I love

[@edgarcruz5052]

Jenkem coming out with some good content

[@zackpidgeon]

Always wondered if someone would skate that, they tried to take my skateboard when I was just trying to walk around there and I was thinking no way that’s skatable

[@wademedlin6831]

Three words…. Pop, Catch, Stomp!!! Worth the bust totally. Props. Cinematographers make it happen! Passion

[@evanthomas92]

Damn 3rd try back 3 and 3rd try fakie flip 🔥🔥🔥

[@resdisorder]

what a spot, fucking legends!

[@MASONMAXEY22]

Very dope...with the skyline in the background..

[@tpollz]

That buzzer beater fakie flip.. this video seems like it was all meant to be.. crazy

[@MarkPuke13]

This dude rules!!!

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

What's the deal with this island? Is it just a gated community type thing or some Epstein island judging by the security and it being closed off etc?

[@shmooveyea]

I don't understand the sneak part, the entirity of Roosevelt Island is public, really, got a uncle that lives there...

[@xitsox]

Beautiful :) the tricks, the view, everything... Great job you guys!

[@eugenem.9428]

So what’s the reason for the high security presence anyway?

[@GettingHyphy]

Ya someone give us Canadians the low down

[@davearquette3303]

Could've definitely got away without the tickets

[@johnpaxton3098]

Totally worth a court summons lol fight that shit tho

[@FumeRaiderTV]

How was the rent a cop talking about fines though lol?

[@TomRussss]

We love you Jenk

[@goobah1389]

Almost too cool.

[@Steezo_Romero]

Fuckin handled it!!

[@johnallison6038]

gotta bring him back sometime to hit that rail

[@kimryanf]

Why does the cop HAVE to give them tickets? Why not just make them leave? He would still be doing his job by stopping the law breaking. The tickets are unnecessary. These dudes are "just doing their job" as well.

[@brentroy03]

You could say the same for someone speeding. Or someone shoplifting

[@dylanjordan4747]

probably got quotas

[@kimryanf]

@@brentroy03 100% agree. And sometimes speeders and shoplifters are let go without a ticket. Why did this guy HAVE to give him a ticket? He didn't have to do anything. He's just avoiding accountability for being a jerk by blaming someone else.

[@augormasterson9312]

When you give officers the discretion to enforce the law, they tend to give tickets to generate the revenue that keeps them employed.

[@kimryanf]

@@dylanjordan4747 obviously. Just like major companies have quotas for the amount of minorities they hire, even if they are less qualified. But that doesn't make it fair. Just own up to it. Don't act like it's out of your control by saying you HAVE to do something.

[@basilousfalconer416]

sick, this spot is fucked if you see it in person

What a photo with the background.
