StyleSessions 09, NYC

StyleSessions 2009, sunday morning, Upper Manhattan!

Qualifiers for the “outlaw” free-style, downhill skate sessions started at dawn, on steep, open-traffic, Fort George Hill. The rider’s self-judged, open contest moved then to the Cloisters at Fort Tryon for the finals. The free format allows as many runs as possible until the law shows up! Anything goes: slides, carving or bombing…but Style is the name of the game. More at freshpaved.com.

Sunday afternoon at the Coisters, Fort Tryon park.

Another longboarding contest that wasn’t… Those guys found shelter in the woods and rode the steep trails there. Away from sunday’s road rage, above on the park main road.

Major Stoke Em’ Outlaw

River crossing.

Sunday, I went to Jersey, just across the Hudson River at Palissades park for the Major Stock Em’ outlaw DH and slide competition! The NJ longboard crew had to switch to this location after someone reported their planned site to the local police! That wasn’t enough to ground them… At awards time, a hawk circled in approval by the Palissades cliffs above us. More images at frehpaved.com
