longboard

Police say the skater was riding down a hill when he exited the park and crashed.

Tonight, friends and fellow longboarders will meet at Union Square to hold a candle light memorial for Kyle Larson, the NYU student who was killed there this week.

The NYPD has released the video because they're seeking a cyclist seen here in fluorescent clothing. According to one witness, Larson had swerved to avoid the cyclist when he full under the truck.

Defiant longboarders are out in full force today, despite cops setting up roadblocks and cutting off Broadway at various parts on the Upper West Side. Check out some photos and tweets. [UPDATE BELOW]

Over 1,800 people are registered to skate nearly 8 miles in NYC in the event—which doesn't have a permit.
