Some Would Say Crazy or Obsessed.
Some would say crazy or obsessed, I would say passion or love. Today 5 people started to clean snow off the ramps and flat ground at the Ben Soto skate park. This happened for 2 reasons: the first is that we have nowhere to go, and an indoor skate park is nonexistent. All we have on Staten Island is the Benjamin Soto skate park, which is currently in terrible condition. Secondly, Marie Carmody-LaFrancesca from Councilmen Oddo’s office has contacted the Parks Department and they stated that they planned to repair the ramps, but due to the weather conditions (snow on the ramps) they cannot. 5 of us started at12:30 PM, 5 turned into 8, then 10, then 15, and then 20. At the end of the day there were 25 bikers, skateboarders, scooter riders and mountain bikers cleaning the snow and ice off the ramps. 5 hours later, almost the whole park was cleaned off. I would like to say thanks to Nick for bringing an extra snow blower, and thanks to all the people who braved the wet snow and ice in 40-degree weather to clean the skate park. I have never seen a sport so bonded.

Shields New Years 2011 Edit
New Years day Ed picked everyone up to check out Grimaldo’s shop “Legend Bikes Shop” out in Lynsfield N.J. While we were there we were trying to figure out what to ride, so Ed gave shields a call and somehow got all 11 of us into the 8pm-11pm Skate-Inline only session. Big thanks to Aaron at Shields for that one. Zack did some filming and and we threw this edit together, check it out.
