There’s nothing quite as fun and unique as when a community comes together, supports, entertains and feeds each other…. and skateboards.
I’ve been to a lot of local events recently and I really love to see the community supporting skateboarding and the kids who come out are great. Blockstar took place in the heart of Brooklyn and the entire neighborhood came out to help out.
Blockstars one was one of my favorites.
Early on, before the food and refreshments were set up, a woman came out of her house with a pink plastic cup of water for me. I grew up in a place where the only time you saw your neighbors was when you happened to drive by them.
Blockstar is a backyard barbecue in the middle of the street.
Here it seemed that everybody knew everybody and if they didn’t know you the greeted you as if they did and people of all ages were huge fans of skateboarding cheering on and collecting money prizes for the kids who were killing it at the competition.
A local band came out and this girl just ripped the drums. I don’ t know how old she was, but man she was cool. And the frontman, very talented indeed.
