Chicago, Illinois — July 17th, 2021. Year twenty! WOW! The riot is known for it’s big prize pot and this year was no surprise as first place took home 3K! Four skate locations with some unique approaches like setting up a wooden box to a square handrail or just gaping onto a kinked down ledge. The skating was entertaining and the crowd, as usual, was full of life.

We got kicked out of the final spot but as the campus police were there, the show ended with a banger that was later awarded with a best trick prize. Another great year at the riot and another win for the Chicago scene. Cheers! Visit Buttertv.com.

I got a chance to catch up with Eddie after the NYSS Continental Plaza event in Brooklyn and we talked about whipping together something quick and easy during the middle of the week. We met up in Bushwick along with Chris, made a few stops around the area, and finished the afternoon at the Gantry Plaza in LIC. Good vibes and cool skating– “It was a chill day today.” - butterTV.

The first event from NYSS in 2017 which takes place at Continental Army Plaza in Brooklyn, NY. The format has changed which added tons of small prizes anyone can win through multiple mini competitions. Overall it was small, fun, and filled with positive vibes.
