Last night Alex Corporan and I hosted “Go Skateboarding Night” at Sensei Gallery Bar in the lower east side of downtown Manhattan.
After the GSD session at the newly renovated LES skate park was over, the New York City skateboarding community gathered together at Sensei for what turned out to be one of the most epic nights I can remember in NYC skateboarding history.
Embraced by his family, friends and sponsors, Staten Island New York’s very own Leo Heinert was epicly surprised last night as he entered into the Sensei Gallery Bar venue. Leo’s parents were at the forefront of the madness, each holding a deck in their arms while everyone around them began screaming out loud at the top of their lungs. Chanting out his name “LEO! LEO! LEO!” as he was rewarded with the well earned and highly deserved status of being TORRO! skateboards newest professional.
Rizzo’s Pizza provided the food, Drink tickets were handed out throughout the night, trivia contests and product tosses took place thanks to the supporting sponsors DC shoes, Arizona Iced Tea, Rock Star Bearings and EL Señor New York. Carolyn Zuzworsky of CD Skate Shop brought cake and the night ended beautifully in honor of Leo Heinert going pro on go skateboarding day! Congratulations Leo!
Leo’s debut pro models will be available soon at a skate shop near you. For more information or if you’re a shop and want to place an order, contact info@torronyc.com

Wow, I have five nephews that love to skateboard and I’ll be sure to tell them about this thug. It’s a damn shame too, I’ve watched his vids, but in no way should he have succumbed to that kind of vicious act!! No child should look up to this person; as of right now, he is not a good representative for any company. Do the right thing and revoke his contract.
This guy is nothing but a thug! He deserves jail time for a violent assault on a citizen for trying to support his country. SAD!
10 years in jail.
He needs his sponsers removed! He hit a guy in the face with a beer bottle that need stiches just because he had a MAGA hat on. No matter what you feel about the Trump and his supporters using violence should NEVER be acceptable! This is disgraceful and he should pay a price! Only immature petulant children use violence insted of their words especially when it comes to political debate. If your political ideology makes you want to use violence you already on the losing side!
