REPO: ANIMAL X BASE GET IT TOGETHER JAM
The first jam in a few years to be held at New York City’s first skatepark, Mullaly Skatepark in The Bronx, went down on Saturday. Enos Columbo of the revived BASE Brooklyn clothing company saw that the Mullaly ramps had seen better days, and wanted to help breathe some life back into the park that has been holding it down across the street from Yankee Stadium since 1988. With support from local area companies and shops Animal, your-inn.com, Group Home Bikes, Post Bike Shop, Dah Shop and Bike Doctor, Enos threw the Get It Together jam. A few new ramp additions were built before the jam, and the turnout was even better than imagined. The new generation of Mullaly locals were killing it all day long, and all the older riders who made it out had a blast cruising around as the 4 train periodically rolled through above. Young and old, I think everyone had a big smile on their face from the moment they showed up to the time they went home. Big thanks to Enos and BASE for putting on events like these that keep the NYC riding spirit going strong, and helping an iconic spot to continue to thrive. -RD
