2015 was our sixth year covering the New York skateboarding community. We launched the 4th version of our site, welcomed more contributors, posted 200+ events and 450+ posts. In addition to daily blog posts, NY clips & videos we also worked on some interviews, event recaps and a closer look at some brands, shops & spots.
Starting with January through June, here’s of a look back at some of the memorable posts from 2015.
