Bronx’s Skate Jam Grinds in Soundview

Soundview shredded last night with the Bronx’s Skate Jam, flipping NYC’s spring on April 15. Skater Isabella Martinez landed a kickflip as 200 cheered, a $10 ticket bash at a Bruckner lot. It’s borough wheels—pure BX vibe, ramps hot. A kid ate pavement; a pro nailed a 360. ‘Bronx grinds—this is it,’ Martinez says, waxing boards. The asphalt turned park.

The jam’s fresh—April 15’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing curbs by 4 p.m. Martinez’s a Mott Haven shredder; last night’s crowd hit max—boards clacked. A latecomer nabbed a spot; dust flew—NYC grit glowed. Tricks hit dozens—flips ruled. #BronxSkate trended; Queens wants a rail.

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

Martinez’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a comp if spring bites. ‘NYC’s edge—this cuts it,’ she says, packing gear. The jam’s a Bronx win—grit meets glide. It’s a skate rush; catch the next. Bring decks—ramps call.
