The King of New York will return for its 14th year on August 9th and 10th, 2008!  This year we’ll be shaking things up and so for the first time, the event has moved to Brooklyn. Millennium Skatepark is the spot in Owl’s Head Park in Bay Ridge.  The event is FREE to watch so come out and enjoy. This year’s dates are Saturday August 9 (Prelims) and Sunday, August 10 (Finals,) 2008. Come chill and ride open practice on Friday, August 8. Not much compares to our home in the Bronx, but guaranteed, Brooklyn will represent as always. The premier Pro/Am BMX Freestyle Competition in New York City, The King of New York is one of the longest running bicycle stunt competitions in the world and the only one of its kind in New York City. Always featuring the most insane riding by the best NYC has to offer, winning the King of New York allows bragging rights and a place in New York City action sports history. Attracting entrants and spectators from all over the globe, King of New York event craziness in the past has included performances by live DJs, raving lunatic wrestlers in leather masks, and NYC’s own Sick Of It All. Two-thousand-eight will be no different.
