Tommy Gillette and Aidan Sanchez-Campo “Locals Only” Remix
The first time I ever went to the Ben Soto Skatepark in Staten Island, I met Aidan, and six years later, at my last time at 5050 Skatepark, Aidan was with me. Although he scooters and I skate, Aidan has been my best friend throughout my time living in Staten Island. It’s crazy how a skatepark brings people together for the same reason, and its crazy how much the skatepark can impact ones life. The friends you make at the skatepark will be your best friends no matter how close or far away you are from them, for the rest of your life.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Young scooter enthusiasts arrived early Thursday afternoon at 5050 Skatepark on the Stapleton waterfront to practice tricks and await the arrival of three pros from the California-based AO Scooter team, including Brooklyn hometown boy Zig Short.
AO Scooter’s “Summer Sweltour” has the company’s pros visiting nine East Coast venues, including 5050, Staten Island’s only indoor skatepark.
Stapleton resident Aidan Sanchez-Campo, 15, was one of the scooter riders waiting to meet and watch the trio of pros “shred” — slang for riding intensely.
“I started riding scooters in 2011 because it was different,” said Aidan, who will enter his sophomore year at New Dorp High School and rides at 5050 Skatepark every day. “Everybody was on skateboards or BMX (bicycle motocross). Scooters grew as a sport, and it’s cool to see how it happened and to be a part of it.”
Giacomo Pares, 11, and his best friend, Hayden Waxman, 12, came all the way from Scotch Plains, N.J., to meet and watch the three pros.
