R.I.P. Special Sauce - The Ending Of An Era (2010)

Special Sauce (Bayshore, NY), one of Long Island's staple skate shops founded by Pete Szczebak and Chris Santucci back in 1994 is closing today. Long Island skateboarders, DJ's, surfers, snowboarders, graph kids and b-boys would consider this the ending of an era. R.I.P. Sauce, we thank you for everything you've done for New York skateboarding/skateboarders, we will remember you forever!

Hazel Beat Loaf Premiere Pics (2010)

Gambling with a huge snow storm, we decided to head out to the Hazel Beat Loaf video premiere at Special Sauce (Huntington, NY) last night. We arrived a little late but got to catch most of the vid (the top half mostly) and reunite with some friends. After the vid was over everyone migrated downstairs into the shop and then eventually over to a local bar. Hazel supporters included Gino Iannucci & Matt Bell (Poets), Rob Mate (Mighty Healthy), KuatoLives2084 crew and Eric "The Ronz" Rosetti to mention a few. Thanks to Hazel & Special Sauce... congratulations to Scott Sutherland on his new pro model! For more pics check Tony Memento's FB album.
