On any given day at any given time, something will be happening at NYC’s Tompkins Square Park. While that something could be a bum yelling at the wind, it could also be a solo demo from a visiting pro, the Star Team sparking up or, in the case of earlier this month, Fucking Awesome and Converse throwing a $2000 game of SKATE.
In what could be dubbed the rent money showdown, Tompkins favorite Myles Underwood, Converse AM Dylan Clark and HUFs Salomon Cardenas all fought valiantly against flatground final boss Antonio Durao for their shot at walking away with a thick envelope.
Watch along as cancel flips, switch lasers and other rare tricks stack up on Tompkins’ freshly painted concrete.
