Ed Pollio has been a part of the New York City BMX scene for a long time but these days he’s mostly known for his role as the owner of 5050 Skatepark in Staten Island, the only public indoor skatepark in all of NYC. He was in town on vacation with his wife and we managed to get him on TCU TV to talk about running a skatepark in one of the most expensive areas of America, the scooters vs BMX battle and his own journey from a local rider to one of the pillars of the east coast scene. Much respect to Ed, check out http://www.5050skatepark.com for more information and visit them at 354 Front Street in Staten Island.
