The third annual Boschi Pope Skate Off went down yesterday at the Hamilton Bridge Skatepark aka the Heights Skatepark. With skaters and viewers coming from all over the world it truly was the biggest event in NYC. Malik Ashby, Erick Rodriguez, and all the judges put together a great competition and had the difficult choice of picking the top three winners and a best trick prize thrown in by John Estrella. See the results and highlight photos below. Stay tuned for all the edits to follow.

NYSS Astoria Jam Winners
Sunday, April 24th the New York Skate Series kicked off their 2016 season with a jam session at the Astoria skatepark sponsored by Rollerblade. There was a great turnout and it was a great way to bring in the good weather and reunite with the friends we haven’t seen in a while.
First place winner Augusto Castillo – X Grind
As the competition portion of the jam session came to an end, the judges had a tough decision separating first and second place, but a decision was made and Augusto Castillo came out on top, taking first place. Augusto won a voucher for a free pair of Rollerblade brand skates along with prize money. Joey Lunger and Trevor Johnson followed Augusto taking 2nd and 3rd place with Rollerblade soft goods, frames, and prize money. Check out our photo coverage below and see all the photos on the NYSS Facebook page.
Pablo Munoz – Fakie 360 AO Miszou
Saturday night we took the mission to Washington Heights to get some night skating in before the rain hit us. We posted up an alert on our Instagram page and Facebook page inviting everyone to come along and we had a great turnout. Thanks to everyone who attended. You can check out all the photos from the session below featuring Pablo Munoz, Augusto Castillo, Alex Mendez, James Perez, and Angelo Morales.
Angelo Morales – Royale
Last weekend, while the weather was still abnormally warm, a couple of the south Brooklyn kids met up in downtown Manhattan to get a session in before the winter chill hit us. We met up in Battery park with plans to take the to ferry Staten Island. After sessioning the high ledge at battery, we checked the OG spot “Rail City” to see what was still skateable. After catching a couple of flicks, we took the trip to Staten Island and skated the classic boardwalk ledges and ferry rails. See all the photos below. Featuring Angelo Morales, Ricky Perez, Nolan Baii, Ricky Marrero, Terrence Henry, and James Perez.
