Last month Boschi Pope invited his extended blade family to NYC for the second installment of his BOSCHI POPE SKATE OFF. So on August 27th bladers from all corners of the U.S. headed to Hamilton Bridge Skatepark for prize cash, bragging rights, and the earned respect of the NYC scene. Our friend Gaby Velasquez happened to have a camera in-hand during the event, and for her first contributed piece delivers this crisp look at the blading from winner Alex Broskow, along with Jon Julio, John Vossoughi, Jesus Medina, Luke Naylor and others. Plus some choice snaps capturing shared blade life highlights from a day in the park.
