Yesterday we got a look at the second LRNY session and today we get a look at what went down during the first session of the summer. This edit is brought to you by the man himself Victor Callender. Check the edit featuring James Perez, Emil Marvin, and many more at the Coleman skatepark, Brooklyn Banks, and marble ledges in downtown Manhattan. Filmed and edited by Victor Callender.

During the day, on the cleanly paved and cemented streets of the financial district—so oddly devoid of trash, doggie remains, and even cockroaches—you see the men and women of Wall street, with their six figure salaries and business suits. As trains, cabs, and ferries get filled to capacity by these rush hour commuters, a change takes place; cleaning crews and tipsy Staten Island girls begin to shuffle in for their evening affairs. Another group also makes its way in; slowly but surely, attracted by the pristine marble decor of the office buildings and the authentic grime of the Brooklyn Banks and Chinatown skate parks, the inline skaters emerge.

Sunday’s LRNY Bronx session was more of a flash back then a normal meet up. Names like Brian Lewis, Hakeem Jimoh, Joe Dedentro and the usual Victor Callender and Jon Ortiz were all in attendance. It’s really good for any person to know their history but to be in the presence of people who pioneered your sport is something truly great. The session started slowly with people arriving with their sun glasses on, recuperating from the Saturday night hang over, and the Create Originals crew, Brian Lewis and Hakeem Jimoh, managed to be the early birds of the day coming all the way from Boston.

Victor Callender’s 12th LRNY session has been announced and this time it’s going down in Queens, NY! With the announcement of the new session, Victor Callender also has launched the new Wheels In Motion site which has an already setup online map of where each spot is which is very helpful for anyone not familiar with the Queens area. Info is on the flyer above, take the #7 train to Vernan Boulevard and walk to 48th avenue where you’ll see a set of red ledges (viewable on the google maps link.) Come out and show your support and lets not let the winter stop us. Saturday is looking nice and sunny so far so make sure to be there because you never know what will be going down! Get all the info you need on the Wheels In Motion site.
Yesterday Victor Callender hosted the Brian Scott memorial session where we had a huge turnout. Thanks to everyone who attended and who contributed to the fund raiser. Besides the massive amount of skaters that came out to show their love and respect for Cozmik, New York 1 came out and covered our session which they broadcasted last night. You can see the coverage here. “Dozens turned out last night to celebrate the life of a well-known rollerblader…More than 100 skaters turned up at a Lower East Side skate park to honor the memory of their friend Brian Scott. The 18-year-old was a rising star in the world of urban inline skating. Friends collected donations to help out his family” NY1.
