Boardslide - Tompkins Square Park, 1989.
NYC’s Jeremy Henderson, Barn Ramp Local and Godfather of NY Skate competing in 1989.
“The photos you have are from back in 1989. Shut and Skate NYC ( a now de-funkt shop that was located in L.E.S. ) held an Am. contest in Tompkins Square park. It was in association with the parks dept. Because of the parks departments willingness to support skate boarding at the time, this contest was legendary and laid the groundwork for skate parks in NYC. ” Rodney Smith, SHUT NYC
Jeremy Henderson shredding pools uptown, 1988.
And while we’re on an 80’s tip, here’s a cool oldskool video of Tony Hawk, Rod Mullen and others ripping up bowls, drains and over verts!
