Five new obstacles, loads of good music, a hot grill, and nutcrackers straight from Rockaway Beach: Safe to say this years Summer Block Party was a success.

If you missed it, here’s our recap of the best tricks and moments from the day. A huge thanks to Monster Energy, Sun Bum, Audio-Technica, The Skatepark Project, and The Harold Hunter Foundation for making it all possible. Catch you next time!
