Site Update - We Added Some Links (2010)

Now that Fall has arrived, we decided to update our sections with some new links (45 to be exact). NYSB Goods has (6) new links, NYSB Places has (14) new links, NYSB Websites has (16) more links and NYSB Media has (9) new links... you get the idea. That should keep everyone busy for another few months. New site design is on its way!

Introducing Belief Skateshop in Astoria - Queens, NY (2010)

While on our way to skate the new Astoria skate park we decided to stop over at the new Belief skateshop (just a few blocks away). We shot a few photos to give you a little peek at what they have in-stock so far. Belief is located at 29-20B 23rd Avenue which is half a block from the Ditmars Blvd stop on the (N) train.

We would also like to introduce three more skate shops that recently opened in New York: Alliance (Flushing, NY), Just Chill (Bronx, NY) and Mosaic (Bronx, NY). For more detailed shop info visit our NYSB Places page.

Interview - Owner Of Park Delicatessen (2010)

We interviewed Michael Sclafani last week about Park Delicatessen; his Skate / Flower / Dry Goods shop located in the Crown Heights / Prospect Heights area of Brooklyn, NY. We also got a look at the shop's new mini ramp and got to skate with the Park Deli fam!

Introduction - Astral Fountain Skatepark, Queens NY (2010)

Here's an introduction clip to Queen's latest skatepark (Astral Fountain Skatepark) using some footage we shot at the first ever Maloof Money Cup, NY contest last month. Unfortunately we weren't able to film the AMs as much as we wanted to (especially Luis Tolentino's 180) thanks to parking, but we shot what we could and made up for it with some photos. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the clip!

New York Skateboarding Websites Page - Updated (2010)

Just in time for Summer, we updated our NYSB Websites page with (23) new links and (2) new sections! The page links about 100 blogs/sites tied to New York skateboarding in various ways. What's your favorite?

If you have a blog or site you would like to suggest as an addition to a list please contact us here.

Welcome To The New NYSkateboarding.com! (2010)

If you haven't noticed already we have updated the site. It has been about 6 months since we launched so we figured it was time for a little face lift. Some major changes include a new and improved home page, new NYSB Media page, Contact Us, updated nav bar with social networking buttons. We gave the NYSB Places page some steroids and organized the NYSB Websites page into categories. If you want to see the full list of updates checkout our v1.2 Version Notes page (also new).
