Aggressive Skaters Practicing On Roosevelt Island Red Rail For Today's Billy O'Neil NYC Street Invitational In Williamsburg Brooklyn

You Tube Video of Roosevelt Island Rail Skaters

Yesterday afternoon, I met three visitors to Roosevelt Island from Amsterdam, France and Belgium who were practicing their Aggressive Skating on the Red Rail above the East River Promenade. They were preparing for this afternoon's Billy O'Neill NYC Street Invitational in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

The NYC Street Invitational is a Pro/Am invite-only event founded by Pro blader and long time resident of New York City, Billy O’Neill. The event will be a completely legitimate, real “street” contest taking place underneath a highway in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Permits and insurance are already secured for the location and all obstacles will be available within the space provided. Unlike other street contests there will be no issue with the police breaking up the event and there will be no traveling from spot-to-spot. This is going to be one of the first, fully legitimate, real “street” contests since IMYTA. Many of the world’s top Pro’s have already confirmed that they will be here to battle for the $10,000 that will be distributed among the top 3. Make your plans now, because this will be a rollerblading event to remember!

The action starts at 1 PM today.
