I'm not much of a skateboarder, but I played Tony Hawk Pro Skater growing up, so I'm basically a professional.

If you want to catch skateboarders tearing it up and bringing the community together head out to Middletown New York this weekend.

JAFOO Clothing Line Bring Skate Contest to Middletown, New York

Back in 2021, JAFOO was established in the Orange County New York area. The company quickly became a staple in the community as a skateboard and streetwear clothing line.

Later that same year, they made history by organizing its first-ever skateboard contest to celebrate the sport in the city of Middletown, New York.

And just like that, a tradition was born. The JAFOO Skateboard Competition is back for its 3rd year in 2024.
