MAY 18 - Chelsea Piers Skatepark Grand Opening
Today was the day we have all been waiting for!! I know waiting sucks and this may sound cliche but, man this was well worth the wait!!! The morning started off at 10:00am with the official ribbon cutting ceremony!! By 11:00am it was on!! There were many in attendance including Jim Murphy, Puppet, Tony Farmer, Dan, Corey Rubin, Danny Falla, Pat Smith, John Fudala, The Scalzi Scoundrelz, Owls Head Locals, Rodney Torres, Jocko Weyland, Barrett Barker, and many others!! Heavy ripping went down in the flawless pool!!! The guys at CA Skateparks really did a great job!! It was a great day, ribbon cutting and coping killing!! While I have the chance I just wanna say thank you to Andy Kessler, I know he was looking down on the park today smiling!!! The grinds and shout outs to him while people were flying around the bowl are well deserved!!! Thanks Andy you forever roll in our hearts!!!NEW PHOTOS ADDED!!!
MAY 9 - THE SKATE SHUTTLE
Our good friend Anthony Jones has started his own venture called THE SKATE SHUTTLE!! He is basically providing transportation to and from Skateparks in the Tri-State area, and what is better then that, you get to rip all day and relax in his 20 passenger shuttle on the way back!! Anthony is a very important part/supporter of the skateboard community here in NY, and we truly back anything he does!! So support a good guy that supports our scene!! He said his website will be up soon!! In the meantime keep your eyes and ears open, or check back here for future trips!!!

OWL'S HEAD SKATEPARK CLOSING EARLY WTF? Word is due to lack of funds, the Commissioner of the Parks and Rec dept thinks he could save a few bucks by putting more people out of work, and closing the SKATEPARK early!!! Send him an e-mail and tell his ass to take a pay cut so we have a place to ride!!! http://nyc.gov/html/mail/html/maildpr.html
