Our goal is to support the NYC skate community by providing locals with the opportunities to showcase their talent and hone their skills; Skateboarding offers an alternate form of transportation over short distances,promotes a healthy life style and is available to everyone regardless of Socio-Economic background. These are several of the reason why in the near future we will see skateboarding compete with other outdoor pursuits for the title of Americas Favorite Pastime.  Said Alberto Correa Jr, organizer of the Battle for the Bronx Skate Jam.
