The 5050 Reunion (Remember this one?) - Photo By John Roman.

Contest/demo/event footage is pretty much the worst. Importing, organizing and editing hordes of little kids all flying into walls even moreso. We decided to take the easy way out and provide a mere recap of the several highlights from this past Saturday’s King of Spring contest at 12th and A, where the overall highlight actually took place on a scooter. We can’t afford any fancy, Fox 5 sports journalists, in the same way I am generally incapable of writing things that make sense myself, so I opted for seeking out the (semi) professional eloquence of Taj Mahal. The Taji 12th and A Contest Re-Cap.

One of the few spots that you would never get kicked out of in Midtown, in addition to one of the more iconic double-sets in east coast skateboarding is just about done for. Jacob Javitz Center has been completely fenced off from entry. If you’re nice with jumping fences and want to get one last trick down the double set or on the curved bench before it gets torn down, now many be a good time to do it.

Significantly less important, but still kind of worth mentioning to those who like stupid east coast cutty spots, “that step to cellar door across from Veteran’s Memorial” is gone. They put handrails on both sides of the steps. I know the picture is horrible.
