These shots came from July 4th and 5th. We skated from 96th to Queens to watch fireworks the first night and the next day we cruised to the Lower East Side skate park, but it started raining so we didn't get to skate it. After taking the subway home we waited a few hours for everything to dry, then went back out at midnight and skated until around 2am. We hit Lincoln Center, Times Square, Pier 76, and few others before making our way back on the Greenway.

It was an insane experience. There can't be a better city to skate than New York.

Full transparency, I think I'm an awful urban skater, but I have fun
