In this video, I meet up with @CJWELLSMORE who happened to be in town and we explore some skate spots on the Upper West Side and then check out the skatepark before cruising the streets of New York City.
CJ is one of the greatest skaters of all time and is still skating and competing at the highest of levels. He's a 3 X world champion and sponsored skater for @sebaskates. The skate he is wearing is actually his pro model that was just announced. The CJ 2 Prime white boot 2023 will be available at skateshops worldwide!
Follow him on all his socials!

The frames that CJ and I were wearing in the bigger wheel portion are both Endless frames.
Mine are the Endless 90 LR, which is compatible with trinitymounted boots (anything that is Powerslide). https://www.endlessblading.com/produc...
CJ's are the Endless 90 UFS frame compatible with all aggressive skating boots with the UFS mounting standard. https://www.endlessblading.com/produc...
