It's been 3 years since the passing of NYC street skate legend Harold Hunter. He was a guy that everybody who was in that scene seemed to know. And when i say "scene" i mean the skate scene that flourished in the early 90's. I knew Harold Hunter personally through my older brother who at that time was heavy in the LES downtown skate scene. Harold was definitely a character, which is why his name still lives on til this day. He was such a personable, outgoing individual, who was an extremely talented skater as well. Unfortunately with the lifestyle that he lived in, their was a dark side to Harold that followed him to his grave. His addiction to partying, drinking, and drugs led him to live a short life with his death on February 17, 2006. He was found in his LES apartment due to an overdose of drugs which caused his heart to stop. Legends never die Harold. Every October we get together and skate in your name. Here are some pics of Harold Hunter Day 3 that occurred at the Manhattan Bridge Skate Park in the LES. Check em out!
