Skate: NY Skateboarding x Andy Kessler Day 2011

The Andy Kessler Foundation worked with Vans and put together the first ever Andy Kessler Day at the House of Vans. Skateboarders from all over flocked to shred for Andy, skating the bowl, hips, banks & quarter-pipes and most noticeably a big replica of Andy’s nose made exclusively for the event by Dennis McNett. Skateboarding pioneer Tony Alva was skating up in the mix, Steve Olson along with numerous amounts of Andy’s friends, family & admirers were also in attendance. Dante Ross DJayed and a bunch of bands performed including: Natur, Dirty Fences, Triple Hex and Jumpship turning the event into more than just a skate jam. Suggested donations were collected at the door and artwork was for sale. All proceeds went directly to the Andy Kessler Foundation which provides community outreach to people in need through art, music, skateboarding and surfing.
