We weren't suppose to cover this competition but a good friend was awesome enough to hook up the media pass. Immediately when looking at the obstacles, the NY Invitational sets it self apart from all other comps. Offering unique spots to skate like an old beat up Cadillac, constructions tubes, U-haul trailer, and a huge dumpster to name a few. Not to mention that this comp was very reminiscent of the old IMYTA competitions. The obstacles were all put together by the craftsmanship of Jose Disla & the C.O. team along with other NY locals that showed up the day of construction to support and offer a helping hand. New York owes such a great competition to the Bernal Heights Collective–a medicinal marijuana shop from San Francisco whom sponsored the events large prize.
Thanks to everyone who supported ODNY and purchased a shirt from our new summer drop. Looking forward to next weeks Last Man Standing.

some of the best pros from around the world were invited personally by billy o'neill to come compete at his rollerblading street competition. Michael Braud, Daniel Henderson, Corey Oringderff, and myself drove over 15 hours one way to get to NYC and live nearly homeless for 4 days while losing our minds to everything that is NYC.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
