Brian Keohane – TTS. First Place at Cozmik’s Memorial Session.
On September 12, 2014 New York City bladers arrived at Pier 25 skate plaza to celebrate Brian “Cozmik” Scott’s birthday. Local blader Jordan Baez organized the day’s session and contest in Brian’s honor. We spent the early afternoon skating the plaza and kicking off the contest, then made our way to street spots, ending the session / competition at the L.E.S. skatepark where Brian Keohane came out victorious. Followed by Eddie Chung taking 2nd place and Terrence Henrey taking 3rd. Photos from the session can be seen below featuring the top 3 winners of the competition as well as James Perez, Sebastian Michalski, Arismendy Canela, Chris DeJesus, and Jordan Baez. A big thanks to Roller Warehouse for sponsoring the session. (more…)

“Marvin and i embarked on a 2 day project to create a mini edit. Emil Marvin put together a flawless session where he landed trick after trick. Marvin is founder of the newly prominent skate family Roll and Blaze, Be on the look out for more of his crew in the future but for now witness EMIL MARVIN handling his business. While it rained Marvin manage to perform tons of tricks at Flushing, and after we went to a local rail where he showed with dedication you can get back up and do the trick” – Angelo Ferrer.See the photos from the session here.

BOARDERS BEWARE This was actually worth being on tv and winning money over. Fun To Watch. Now I present to you MDOW Enjoy NY and Others” – Joe Perez.
The flushing meadows skate plaza/ Maloof skate plaza has been on everyone’s mind lately. The plaza has had no official confirmation on when it would open but it looks as if it is skateable to the public now. On Saturday a few bladers went to the park and Adonis Taylor caught a couple of quick flicks of most of the obstacles of the park. Check them out up top to get a glimpse of what’s available to skate at the new park. Photos by Adonis Taylor.
Looks like the Flushing Meadows skate plaza is almost completed. As previously stated the park features obstacles recreating well known street spots around NYC. After this weekend the plaza is said to be open to all sports. New York 1 did a short piece on the plaza earlier today making the claim that, “There are 13 skate parks in the city for the estimated one-million skaters. Two other parks are under construction.” So looks like we should be expecting two more skate parks/plazas done in the near future. See the NY1 story here.
The 16,000-square-foot skate plaza will be built in the Flushing Meadows area of Queens, NY home of the world famous Globe skate spot by June 5th. The plaza will feature obstacles inspired by real NYC skate spots. You can see the notes on the above image of the recreated spots. You can get more information on the plaza here.
Today we get a first look at the construction and obstacles being built at the River Avenue Skate Plaza in the Bronx, NY. The plaza is located on River Avenue and East 157th street which is accessible by the 4, B, and D train station at the 161 Street-Yankee Stadium/River Avenue train stop. The park is said to open mid May to early July. Thanks to Shardy Nieves for providing the information and photos below. (more…)
On the other side of the spectrum of the extreme/alt/action sports world it seems as if a new skate plaza will be built in Queens, NY for a skateboarding contest taking place on June 5-6 which will then be donated to our city to enjoy. The 16,000-square-foot skate plaza will be built in the Flushing Meadows area of Queens, home of the world famous Globe skate spot, featuring obstacles inspired by real NYC skate spots. You can see the notes on the above image of the recreated spots. You can get more information on the plaza here.
On a related note, Jon “Jlyn” Ortiz is already placing bets for someone to finish the black rail that goes half way around the plaza. “…50 cash if you do a simple groove trick…100 if u do a simple soul trick….and 150 cash out my pocket if u savannah that b*tch! And I want PROOF!” – Jon Ortiz.
