This is a dumb idea. The skateboard community is not going to buy into the B Boys instrumental stuff. I know so because I live deep in the skateboard community. Skateboarders love the hip-hop stuff, but not the instrumentals.
This seems like a desperate attempt by Beastie Boys (management possibly?) to reach a certain demographic.
How about the basketball demographic? I was playing Mix Up on cassette on an old-school cheapo boombox out at the court and the homies were digging it and wanting copies. I told them to buy the album. The music elevated my game to the point of mad skillz. I almost dunked once. Yeah, that's it, sure I did.

At one time we were sk8ers. I'm too old for that shit anymore. The older stuff is more fitting the ol punk stuff and Licensed to Ill. The Mix Up album it too mature for the crowd.
I can see reaching that demo but it's not the right venue.
