To keep it 100%, MTV advertised this show as a documentary of Washington Heights but, I don't know of anyone who looks or acts like this in Wash Heights. I live here, I should know. There are many successful people that live in this area, not just Dominicans. The fact that this trailer looks completely scripted kind of bums me out. I read some comments on the MTV site and, like myself, others picked up on the fact that the cast looks like a bunch of actors even though MTV states they are not. Their interactions weren't very organic. And no disrespect to the female cast members, but damn, this is Washington Heights, you're telling me they couldn't cast some murda mamis in this piece I'm just sayin...form your own opinion when the show premieres in January.

Linwood Monk from Richmond, VA
The "BossHogg" of Virgina! We met Linwood at the Hollow-Queens Jam in Astoria Skatepark last month. He told me he knew my long time friend, FBM Bikes Co. team rider Ruel Smith aka "Wormz" from Brooklyn, NY who is now residing in Richmond, Va. Wormz suggested he slither to NYC and jam out. This dude rips in on his bike. He was throwing down long ass nose wheels on the manual pads, tooth hangers, blasting quarters, He def came through hungry to through down b.
Riding is not all this wild man does, Linwood is also trying to get his reality show on. He has a MTV's The Real World audition video on Youtube. Hope that works out for you my G. Take a look below.
Can I Live?!
