Dorian and Casey are spiritual adventurers who experiment with quantum physics in a Brooklyn BMX shop. The pair is hellbent on creating the philosopher’s stone of ultimate perfection by injecting it into technology in order to save human consciousness. When a BMX pro becomes a subject of one of their experiments, his conceptions of reality are uprooted and everyone may have gotten more than what they bargained for.

NOLA Six Flags Video

Check out this NOLA Six Flags Video.

About a year ago we got to explore the abandoned 6 Flags amusement park in New Orleans. Originally Jazzland, the amusement park got bought up by 6 Flags about 5 years before Hurricane Katrina. After Katrina, the park got flooded and many rides got destroyed, while some salvageable rides were taken apart and used at other parks in the country. The remaining rides lay abandoned and rotting, a perfect scene for some exploring.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — 5050 Skatepark wished the Staten Island Ferry a happy 200th birthday by holding a fundraiser for a local hospital Saturday night in Stapleton.

The free event offered live music, food and featured dozens of paintings and photographs of Staten Island’s iconic boat — which were donated by numerous local artists.

Photographs and artwork were submitted by Vin Barone, Mark Blasko, Jozette Carter-Williams, Michael Defuri, Eric Isaksen, Kristopher Johnson, Nick Jones, Ryan Lavis, Scott Marceau, Maggie Rose Melito, Carol Mitteldorff, Don Arangio, Chad Rachman, Valentiono Scaramella, Michael Sent, Mike Shane, Virginia Sherry, Adam Smith, Sean Sweeney, Tabitha Leee Turchio and Scott Van Campen.

The goal of the night was to raise money for construction on Richmond University Medical Center’s (RUMC) new emergency room in West Brighton.

Eric Isaksen, an EMT at RUMC, helped organize the event along with 5050 co-founder Ed Pollio.

“This is something I feel really passionate about,” said Isaksen. “I love riding my bike here at 5050, I love photography, but most important is helping people that need better emergency health care on the North Shore.”

As for Pollio, anything that involves “showing off art” and “raising money for a hospital” is something he’ll always be a part of.
