Go Skateboarding DAy! June 21- NYC

June 21, 2011, Go Skateboarding Day! First stop of the day, Chelsea Pier's Skatepark! Stopped into to see the locals and grab a photo with Ryan Monahan in the bowl!

As you can see, the park was relatively empty, so I spent 10 minutes shooting photos and an hour skating!

Next stop was Brooklyn for he Go Skate Day event at Mccarren Park! I showed up just in time for the Red Bull/5Boro Long Ollie Contest!

                                              Fist siting, the road into the park blocked off by the Red Bull super vehicle.

The park was a crazy mix of bank-slant, bowl slashing, and street gnarling weird obstacles.

I shot this from sitting inside my car,

No tripod but a slanted rock worked

Maloof Money Cup Morning

This morning I scurried down to Maloof to pick up my media credentials. I had no idea that skating had actually started today, Friday June 04, 2010. Well I tooled around, walked about and just happened to have a $200 Canon hand held camera in my back pack. I figured, why not put up some pre-documentation. ... Here we go...


Welcome to...

Like Many I love this damn globe...

I would advise utilizing your toilet at home before the festivities...

Rodney Torres was there...

Paul Rodriguez was in the house, getting his warm up on...

I ran into Jason Rothmeyer, whom I have not seen in years, He was all smiles as usual.

The troop was giving there seal of disapproval on the Volcom Coffin Center piece. It appears it might have came out a little too steep! 

Curren Caples seem to enjoy the new rail element....

Lot's of items seem to get "tagged"

On my way back to my car, I ran into Dan Pensyl, his lady and their doggy!

And that is pretty much all she wrote!
