Jumpboyz: Alien Workshop US Tour
This article was published in the May 2010 issue of The Skateboard Mag, with words by Jason Dill and photos by Rodent. The title comes from the team being bitten by the "jump bug" at the beginning of the trip, steering them to different cliffs and bridges along the way where they could get their next thrill. Thanks to the person on the SLAP forum who asked for this one, for inspiring me to find & scan it.

Eduardo Craig's NBDs on Hubba Hideout
Photos of two of the tricks Eduardo Craig did down Hubba Hideout. The switch front blunt appeared in an April 2007 City Skateboards ad, and the switch front tail 270 out appeared on his Who's Hot page from the July 2007 issue of Skateboarder (photo by Dan Z). Not sure who shot the switch front blunt, maybe Dan Z as well. According to @overthinkingskatevideos, the clips were filmed after the Crime In The City video was finished, and only exist as low-quality web clips floating around the internet.
From a comment Jeremy Reeves left when I posted these on Instagram:
[T]his was definitely after crime in the city. Possibly even weeks after. Jimmy Cao and Eddie both came to SF on the same trip as flow guys and stayed for a week or 2. Eddie killed it at hubba that day obviously. Did kf 5050 kf 50 switch tail 270 and sw front blunt. Legendary. Clips were used on thecitystreets website I’m pretty sure and like a lot of other early web stuff is lost or terrible quality. @mikesvenson likely filmed the clips.
