Egg Strike on Orchard — A Skater’s Glimpse into 1991 New York by Jocko Weyland

A vivid snapshot of downtown Manhattan’s underground skate culture, Egg Strike on Orchard captures a fleeting, electric moment in 1991 through the lens of writer and photographer Jocko Weyland. Armed with a single roll of Kodak slide film and a Pentax K-1000, Weyland joined Jeff Pang, Ivan Perez, Harold Hunter, and Peter Huynh for an autumn evening steeped in graffiti, street energy, and emerging urban fashion.

What remains—just twelve surviving frames—documents not only a legendary day ending with the titular egg strike but a pre-commercial era of skateboarding and youthful rebellion. Woven together with contemporary illustrations, a reflective long-form essay, and design by Charlotte de Mezamat, this slim volume becomes a time capsule of raw motion, city grit, and a cultural moment on the cusp of transformation.
