Skateboarding Vacation Tours

So you are visiting New York City or maybe you have family coming into the city and you are looking for something different to do, a fun and exciting activity to try. Real NYC adventure tours are hard to come by, you know.. for people like us. Not exactly a rock climbing, white water rafting, kinda town. Most tours involve sitting a bus and riding from site to site with a charismatic guy chirping facts and fellow tourists snapping pictures. That’s not exactly the way we roll.

Don’t get frustrated wandering around the city looking for that sick skate spot. Don’t worry about having to trek out with your kids and sit around and wait for them to get done skating. Relax. We’ve got your covered. Take a skateboarding tour with us.

Who can participate?

Everybody. Parents and participants who are not comfortable skateboarding, can rent a bike, bring their skates, or we can arrange a walk-able tour.
First timers obsessed with learning how to skateboard.
Former skaters itching for a comeback tour
Core skateboarding fanatics who want the chance to skate some of New York City’s sickest spots
Vert skaters looking to check out the many city skate parks
Longboarders looking to cruise on a through Central Park to Midtown, or a romantic granite and marble sunset on the Hudson in Battery Park.

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.
