Bronx’s Skate Comp Grinds in Soundview

Soundview shredded last night with the Bronx’s Skate Comp, flipping NYC’s spring at a Bruckner lot. Skater Jay Patel landed a kickflip as 200 cheered, a $10 ticket clash of decks. It’s borough wheels—pure BX vibe, ramps hot. A kid ate pavement; a pro nailed a 360. ‘Bronx skates—this is it,’ Patel says, waxing rails. The asphalt turned park.

The comp’s fresh—March 22’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing curbs by 3 p.m. Patel’s a Mott Haven shredder; last night’s crowd hit max—boards clacked. A latecomer nabbed a deck; dust flew—NYC grit glowed. Prizes hit $500—grinds ruled. #BronxSkateComp trended; Queens wants a rail.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a normie, dodging yells. A ramp wobbled—fixed quick; tricks held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham sesh, splitting decks. Still, 300 stayed—wheels reigned. Soundview’s never grinded so bold.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a night comp if spring bites. ‘NYC’s edge—this cuts it,’ he says, packing gear. The comp’s a Bronx win—grit meets glide. It’s a skate rush; join the next. Bring a board—drops call.
