Tyson Beckford continues to leave skid marks

Page Six notes this today...

Tyson Beckford knows how to leave an impression -- and skid marks. The supermodel partied with Ice-T and Coco at La Pomme on West 26th Street the other night. After letting everyone know he is the new face of Aprilia, he hopped onto his imported, custom-made $20,000 motorcycle and tore up the street by doing donuts to wow the crowd.


Flashback to September, when Beckford and his buddies burned rubber on the Bowery for something to do with Fashion Week...



And the aftermath of the entrance... a little rubber left on the Bowery...




Previously on EV Grieve:
Gee, I don't understand why the Post said that the Bowery has "an L.A. vibe" (And now: A scene featuring backflips and Tyson Beckford!)

Gee, I don't understand why the Post said that the Bowery has "an L.A. vibe" (And now: A scene featuring backflips and Tyson Beckford!)

The nice celebrity-style transporters were lined up along the Bowery last evening...outside the Bowery Hotel, of course...Like usual.



But let's back up for a moment. Earlier in the day, at Bowery and Bond. A pop-up shop! (Uh, a pop-up RV?)





What was this all about? According to the press release!

On September 10th at 6 p.m., Tyson Beckford will ride in loud and fast on his motorcycle to open Fashion's Night Out Bond Street's Mini-Block Party. Bowery designers and retailers will be out in full force to celebrate a crazy night of shopping and rocking-out to live music.


Crazy! Anyway, there were cheerleaders — volunteers from the nonprofit Cheer New York — on the Bowery at Bond. (BoweryBoogie caught them in action on Bowery and Houston.)




About two hours after Beckford was scheduled to arrive, he arrived. (Note: I didn't stand around for two hours: I happened to be by at the time he showed up...) And the big moment! It was just like the press release promised! Loud and fast! Like a real-life Kid Rock video! (Cheerleaders! Outlaw motorcyclists leaving skid marks on historical cobblestone streets!)



And here's Tyson...

And later...
