5050 Skatepark helps with making Face Shields for First Responders and Nurses
As we have all heard on the news, our first responders are short on essential supplies. So when we heard our friend Michael Perina of Assembly 3D Printing created a gofundme to use his skills of 3D printing to create face shields for our frontline workers, we jumped at the opportunity to help.
We have a CNC Machine and Laser Cutter that we normally use to cut out wood ramps, but now we repurposed them to cut Pet-G for the face shields. The skatepark has been transformed into an assemble and packaging factory with the help of Youth Build Staten Island. Check out photos below.
Share and donate if you can. The more we can raise, the more face shields we can make.
Everyday we are producing 300 shields with plans to increase to 1,000 per day!
We still need help getting more materials! A big thank you to everyone that has supported this campaign already.
Every dollar donated will go towards making as many shields as possible!

QUARANTINE SHREDS – RANDOM OBJECTS WITH MAD MIKE – GT BMX
Despite a gravel driveway, fatherly duties, and a blustery snowstorm, nothing can stop Mad Mike from #ridingthisout. With Mike’s DIY spot closed due to quarantine, he decided to make the most of some found objects around his house and still managed to have an awesome session. https://www.gtbicycles.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gtbmxfreest… https://www.facebook.com/gtbmxfreestyle/

Where did the airlines park their airplanes?
Victorville California is currently one of the largest airplane parking lots in the world due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In this video, in coordination with air traffic control (ATC), I fly a dramatic low approach in my Grumman Tiger over the closed runway that is currently home for over 400 unused jets. After that, we fly over the peak bloom of the Antelope Valley poppy fields to see an explosion of color in the Mojave Desert. Background: Global airline travel has been dramatically affected as a result of the corona virus and as a result, the airlines have been temporarily storing their fleet at select locations to wait out the current crisis. Southern California Logistics Airport (KVCV) in Victorville, California is one of the primary storage depots for Delta, Southwest and FedEx.
