A day in the life of a group of teens as they travel around New York City skating, drinking, smoking and deflowering virgins.

In the early nineties, before the massive gentrification of many of New York's then slums, several young people from very disparate backgrounds left their broken homes and ventured onto the brutal streets of the city. United by their love of skateboarding, they formed a family and built a unique lifestyle that eventually inspired Kids, a groundbreaking and outrageous film directed by photographer Larry Clark and released in 1995.

Here’s a classic video that’s become a staple in New York City Skate and Hip Hop culture. Legends in the realms Hip Hop and Skateboarding – Harold Hunter, Jeff Pang, Vinny Ponte, DJ Roc Raider, Bobbito, Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z & Busta Rhymes are just some of the names that made this historic visual mainstay possible.
