The first stop of The Boardr Am for 2017 is in the books with Jereme Knibbs taking first at this one with one of his best looking park tricks: a frontside half Cab flip into the quarter. Check that along with his full run that did it including highlights of the best of the day from our filmer, Trap Nate. The Boardr staff Photographer Chaz Miley also has some flicks from the day.

Jiro Platt was one of the youngest dudes out today and of course was also the first dude at LES.
It was rad to see a few girls in the Contest. Leah Hoptak was one of them ripping around in NYC.
You can catch Shawn Butler and his beautiful backside flip in Montreal, Canada in a few months for Am Getting Paid. He will be getting an all expense paid trip, thanks to the Harold Hunter Foundation, for being the top ranking NYC skater.
NYC rolls deep.
Contest is done time to go sidewalk surfing, brah. Thanks to everyone in NYC who gave us such a warm welcome and hosting. Can't wait to be back.
