Welcome to the 6th Annual Last Man Standing Street Competition brought to you by Victor Callender and Wheels In Motion. Victor started the contest series to bring more awareness to New York City's Rollerblading scene. This year the contest was held Uptown in a place locals have deemed "The Pit." With its variety of obstacles and acceptance from the parks department, "The Pit" created a perfect setting for the competition for a second year in a row.
We come to you with another helping of photographs from this years Last Man Standing Competition, with a view on what went down during the 2nd round. Photos by Ryan Loewy
While we get all of our footage together, Ryan Loewy comes through with a hefty load of photos from the first round of the 6th Annual Last Man Standing Competition.
It has been really tough watching Guillaume Roy (owner of Lylac Skateshop) run around town and work his magic to make this competition happen. It makes me proud to be a part of the Montreal Classic. Year after year Danny Laroche and Guillaume Roy continue to organized this amazing event. A lot has changed with the Montreal scene since the very first Classics in 2001.
After all big competitions around the world there is always those people that were not at the competition itself and that did not witness the madness first hand. For all those people we have the edits! Enjoy the numerous edits documenting this crazy event!
Here is a first raw edit from the NYC Street Invite 2011. The clips shown in this edit are from the initial heats in the beginning. More photos and clips are about to follow.
After a week of non-stop rain in New York City, we finally had a day in the sun to shred. Foley square would be the meet up location for the “End of the World” session with the Valo Team. Bladers came from all boroughs in NYC for a chance to hang out and skate with some of their favorite pros. Present were Jon Julio, Erik Bailey, Franco Cammayo, Alex Broskow, Ivan Narez, Brandon Smith and Victor Arias. The session began on the steps of the Supreme Court Building, where people seemed to be getting worked coming off the court house gap.
On May 7th, a few good friends and I headed down to the Neglected Truth Skate Shop 7th Annual Birthday Box Jam. The jam was held in an empty parking lot down the street on just about the grittiest piece of black top you could ask for. The lot is sloped downhill and provides for a perfect street course; minus the hike back up every 3 minutes. This year the jam had more obstacles than ever and lived up to its expectations. The NT Birthday Box Jam seems to improve each year and maintains support from some of the gnarliest of bladers.
On April 9th, Hyper Mike held a competition at the Pier 25 skate park in Manhattan. The turnout for this battle style/jam session competition was great. Skaters from all over the Tri-State and NYC came out to watch the one on one battles and session the park. Among these bladers were Franco Cammayo, Hector "Tato" Gonzalez and special guest Dominik Wagner who came out to experience the NYC skate scene in full effect. Enjoy this edit by Sam DeAngelis and stay tuned for more competitions from hypermikenyc.com all Spring/Summer long!
Over the past couple of years, the Tri-State Area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) has lost too many indoor skate parks to count. From Hackettstown in New Jersey to the infamous Academy Skate Park in Connecticut; we have lost too many indoor parks due to lack of funding and support. We have endorsed endless hours of blading and hard earned cash to spend late Sunday nights lacing tricks in local parks. Kids grow up in these facilities and inevitably they have to watch the place they were raised in get torn down to the ground. One of our last surviving indoor Skate Parks in the Tri-State Area is Shield's Skate Park in Flemington, NJ. Run by Mr. Shields himself, the park has gained a large community of rollerbladers from all over the Tri-State Area. Bladers assemble every Thursday night for a balls-to-the-wall session of stunts and filming/photography sessions. The park certainly favors rollerblading with a huge half pipe, tons of round coping, and creative transitions. Amazing skaters such as Franco Cammayo, Erick Rodriguez and Dave Lang (and so many more) have thrown down some of the most unbelievable lines I have ever seen.
Took a trip up to Woodward a couple weeks ago in an attempt to out run the rain. Fun ass weekend! -Chris Dafick
Check out this Shaolin Ninjas in the dojo edit made by Joey Scannella at the Shields Skatepark in New York. Hit play for a banger edit filled with the sickest grinds!
In this skatepark edit by Brent Scherer you can see what Franco Cammayo, Wake Shepman, and their friends did in only three sessions. The Schields Skatepark in Flemington, New Jersey, offers them a great winter location to go all out. Enjoy!

Enjoy!
After a lot of effort, long shootings deep into the night, and impossible planning it is finally done. Sam DeAngelis and the TSS team have filmed the perfectly executed session at the Drop In Skatepark in New York. Check out the riders how they represent the skateshop and enjoy the way they throw out some sick tricks for you.
Adam Caroselli, Joey Scannella, Franco Cammayo and Gian Scannella are messin’ around on a weeknight at the Shields Skatepark in Fleminghton, NJ.
This video contains bonus material from The Truth DVD released in 2007. Not only the failed tricks, with the epic oncoming falls are featured in this DVD, but also those little things that happen around the spots while filming, hilarious moments and the frustrations of that trick that is not working out. It’s all here. Sit back and enjoy this one.
A few short clips from rider Franco Cammayo blading for Tri-State Skate.
Dave Toro and the homies from ODNY have come through with an excellent 6 minute edit covering the 2011 Last Man Standing. Have a look after the jump.
This weekend hosted the annual 2011 Last Man Standing competition in New York City and showed the world that rolling’s undying thirst to bring bladers together could not be stopped by even mother nature and the worst she could throw. Several weeks ago New York City, along with the rest of the eastern seaboard of the United States, was pounded by Hurricane Irene. As if that wasn’t enough, in the wake of all damages caused a tropical storm soon followed up and added to the destruction. The Last Man Standing event was supposed to take place over the weekend following Billy O’Neil’s New York City Street Invitational. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances with the condition of New York City at the time the event was postponed indefinitely. Lucky for us and the spirit of rolling LMS was rescheduled for this weekend and only several hours ago it all went down, burly as usual, and Staten Island’s own Franco Cammayo represented his local scene and took first place.
Montreal Classic 2011 is taking place this Saturday (August 13th) at South Parc skatepark, in Brossard, Quebec. Franco Cammayo, Roman Abrate, Adrien Anne and many more already announced to join the event.
