Skateboarding Lessons in New Jersey and New York CityUptown is stoked to welcome Lorena Lima to the crew
Lorena Lima is available to teach during the week in Montclair, NJ and on most weekends at LES Skatepark, downtown. She is an advanced skateboarder and can help skaters work on kickflips and other tricks, but she can also help noobies figure out how to ride a board for the first time. About Lorena: Lorena is sponsored by 5Boro (flow), Etnies, NJ Skateshop, Rockstar Bearings and Spitfire Wheels (flow).Uptown Skate School proudly gets involved with helping local schools raise money.We’ve donated over $1000 worth of skateboarding lessons to charitable fundraisers and we don’t mind patting ourselves on the back (a little). We consider it a privilege to help out the community, especially schools… why? Because school really is cool – thanks to the hard work of teachers, administration and all those Moms and Dads out there trying to raise money for their kids’ severely underfunded schools. Schools we’ve helped out so far:

CRUMBS Bake Shop, Originators of the Gourmet Cupcake, Partners with the Tony Hawk Foundation to Create the “Tony Hawk SkateCake” My favorite bakery, CRUMBS, just took cupcakes to a whole new level of rad. The Tony Hawk foundation is a really fantastic organization that helps build safe skateparks for communities that need them, but can’t afford them. Created by Tony Hawk himself, the SkateCake is made up of chocolate cake with rainbow sprinkles baked in, vanilla cream cheese frosting edged with red and white sprinkles and topped with an edible sugar replica of a Tony Hawk custom designed skateboard. CRUMBS will donate $ 1.00 from every SkateCake sold to The Tony Hawk Foundation. The SkateCake will be available for $4.00 each in all store locations and will also be sold online at www.crumbs.com. NEW YORK, NY (March 4, 2010) – CRUMBS Bake Shop, the originator of the gourmet cupcake, is collaborating with the Tony Hawk Foundation, to create a signature cupcake, the "Tony Hawk SkateCake.” Proceeds from the sale of the SkateCake will benefit The Tony Hawk Foundation to help provide funds to build high-quality skateparks in low-income areas throughout the United States.
As of February 19, 2010, the Tony Hawk SkateCake is available in all stores and online (shipping nation-wide) in our signature size through the end of the year. The SkateCake is a delicious combination of chocolate cake with sprinkles baked into the cake, vanilla cream cheese frosting, red and white sprinkles around the edges and topped with an edible “skateboard,” that was designed by Tony Hawk himself for the SkateCake.
