Bronx’s Skate Day Grinds in Pelham Bay

Pelham Bay shredded last night with the Bronx’s Skate Day, rolling NYC’s spring edge. Skater Jay Patel landed an ollie as 200 cheered, a free wheel fest in the park. It’s borough grinds—$5 snacks sold, pure BX vibe. A kid ate pavement; a pro nailed a rail. ‘Bronx rolls—this is it,’ Patel says, taping grip. The ramps turned wild.

The day’s new—April 2’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing lots by noon. Patel’s a Soundview shredder; last night’s crowd hit max—boards clacked. A latecomer nabbed a deck; dust flew—NYC grit glowed. Prizes dropped—trucks ruled. #BronxSkate trended; Queens wants a ramp.

Some griped—’Too rough,’ sniped a mom, dodging falls. Scratches bled—bandages ran; grit held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham grind, splitting wheels. Still, 300 stayed—skates reigned. Pelham Bay’s never rolled so hard.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a night sesh if spring bites. ‘NYC’s edge—this cuts it,’ he says, waxing boards. The day’s a Bronx win—grit meets glide. It’s a skate surge; drop in next. Bring pads—pavement bites.
