September 4th-7th 2025. New York City - Following up after 2023’s success is no easy task especially when the most uncontrollable variable happens: RAIN… and lots of it. Two days out of four isn’t too bad considering the forecast said rain all week. The first day was the DSTRY Popup where Reverse Halo was premiered as well as a photo exhibit.
The weather during day 2 at the famous Brooklyn banks held out long enough to get a session in as well as being able to finish the day with Metro Mania, the first Inline Alley Cat Race hosted by Track or Die’s Shardy Nieves and finally ending with a 25th anniversary viewing of Live From New York and Theories. We even premiered two of our own videos as well. There was no salvaging day 3 as the rain hit the park hard so day 4 was on a very tight schedule and I would say it turned out to be a successful day. It was a pleasure to see everyone rip the DIY course and as always, it’s a great time to be around the NYC fam. This is home. One Love!
Metro Card is back for 2025! Even with horrible rain, the event was a success! Thanks to all the organizers. Video edit by Full Frame Productions. Filmed on: Sony PD170, edited in: Davinci Resolve Studio. Winner: Michael Witzemann.

New York City, New York 2022-2024. As someone who joined the community in 2020, Amber Rivera’s skating is progressing at a fast rate and it has been an eye opener to watch her fearlessly try new things and push her own boundaries. She is never picky about spots and will skate anything that is put in front of her…and she does it all with a huge smile. - butterTV.
