The best thing about working for a newspaper is they send you to Cancer events in Flushing-Meadows Park. You get there and drive all the way down Roosevelt Ave, then down Willets Bay, then around Shea, then the tennis stadium, then you park at the globe and ask everyone where the Cancer benefit is and even the cop says, "I think I would know about a cancer event in my park!" It's at this point you realize you've been had by the Editor once again and sent to a fake assignment that doesn't even exist. But you can always make the best of it and be the creepy skateboarder with holes in his shoes and no board watching all the other skaters, with a camera.
This kid did a three flip nosegrind half cab out across the grate but I missed it, whoops.

Once again the kids win the prize for coolness. I went straight out after this and bought streamers and a full red jogging gear.

The kids were skating good and all but this kid had the smoothest, most effortless style. Even though I don't own a company I told him I wanted to sponsor him. Please don't mistake the bike in the background for the girl with the streamers. That girl don't need no training wheels!
