Yesterday was hot as fuck in NYC but that didn’t stop the army of skateboarders that took over the streets from Queens to the LES. Our editor Brad Clarke was in the mix for the opening of the brand new Coleman Skatepark and Go Skateboarding Day after party put together by the homies at Shut & Vans. Hit the jump for a sick photo recap and be on the look out for more coverage from Go Skateboarding Day NYC.

Go Skateboarding day went off in NYC with thousands of skaters coming out to take over the streets. One of the many stops that day was the LES skatepark for the Volcom Best Trick Contest. Our homie Daniel Fletcher was on the scene photographing and participating in the madness. Peep a gallery of his photos after the jump.

Oh yeah, you know summer is finally here when Go Skateboarding Day is back. This year’s 9th anniversary GSD will have the streets of countries all over the globe taken over by skateboards on June 21, 2011. Hit GSD on Facebook for updates about events nearest you and hit the jump for a bigger look at Jim Phillips’ limited edition poster for this year.
