Taking on Hell Ride

Photos by Stacie Joy 

Like so many things in Tompkins Square Park, it simply appeared. 

Sometime in late spring, someone hauled in a homemade quarter pipe, painted it "Hell Ride," and left it for anyone willing to take it on. 

Since then, the ramp has become a gathering spot — and a test of skill — for skaters using the multipurpose courts. 

I recently spent some time with the skaters tackling Hell Ride...
For more skateboarding action... on Saturday, Jenkem Magazine is hosting a block party here during the afternoon...

Is it possible that Jenkem Magazine placed it there? Is there a liability issue?

Doubtful... this has been here since late May...and the Park is full of liability issues... just trying walking on an the uneven walkways.
