ButterTV drops an extended look into last year’s Boschi Pope skate off, “With the amount of footage from the 2016 event–it was hard to squeeze it all into one video. So, as promised, here is the BPSO 2.0 edit. And if you haven’t already watched the first video make sure to check it out” – ButterTV. See ButterTV’s first edit of the BPSO 2016 here.
This memorial day weekend the New York Skate Series teamed up with I Roll NY in skating for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and a young blader, Steven White, who has EDS. We hosted an all day session sponsored by Rollerblade who was kind enough to provide a free skate voucher which local blader Malik Ashby won and in his support for EDS, gave to Steven to encourage him to stay strong and keep blading. Featuring skating from Zach Cramer, Pablo Munoz, Adonis Taylor, Joey Lunger, Andy Bodnar, and Tadd Labozzetta. Get more information on EDS and Steven’s story below.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a collection of heritable connective tissue disorders. We had the pleasure of meeting an 8 year-old named Steven White who has EDS and his dedicated mother, Yoly Ym, at our first event of the 2016 season. It’s awe inspiring to watch Steven skate, knowing that when the skates come off, he wears leg braces and sometimes uses a wheel chair. Steven is able to rollerblade, because his skates provide him with support, stability, and freedom that does not exist with other alternative sports or with most sports for that matter.
Why Zebra Stripes?
Doctors are taught the phrase “When you hear the sound of hooves, think horses, not zebras”. In medicine, “zebra” is used for a rare disease or condition. Doctors often assume that the simplest explanation is correct to avoid misdiagnosis with rare illnesses. But many medical professionals forget that “zebras” DO exist and so getting a diagnosis and treatment is more difficult for rare conditions. EDS is a rare condition and those with it are known as medical zebras.

First Place Winner: Zach Cramer – Fakie Outspin Fishbrain
The New York Skate Series hosted their fourth event of the year proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the New York skate scene. Saturday, October 24th, the NYSS Harlem Jam Session took place at the Abraham Lincoln Playground sponsored by Rollerblade. I Roll NY was lucky enough to attend and photograph the jam session.
Runner Up: Andy Bondner – Back Unity
With the 30 minute jam session coming to a close, the NYSS judges opened up a five minute heat between the top skaters Phil Weaver, Zach Cramer, Chino Sin, Kris Craig, Andy Bonder, and James Perez to determine who would take home the free skate voucher provided by Rollerblade.
