The 6th annual Lenny Lamb Memorial Skateboard Contest is scheduled for June 15 in East Northport.

The contest takes place in the 15,000-square foot concrete skateboard park in Veterans Park in East Northport. This year’s event will include:

  • Best Trick, Street Course and Flow Bowl and competition for beginner, intermediate and advanced skaters
  • Long Island skateboard vendors premiering new skateboard  products
  • Appearances by Bodega and Paradox Team skaters
  • Raffle of skateboards and skateboarding apparel
  • Music and refreshments and food 
  • Merchandise and skateboard supplies on display by dozens of event sponsoring organizations
Lenny Lamb was killed in a motorcycle accident with his father in June 2007. His friends  approached Councilman Mark Cuthbertson about honoring Lenny in a way that would revolve around  skateboarding. 

“It’s hard to believe that six years ago we presented the first event at the Greenlawn Skatepark,” Cuthbertson said. “Since that time this sport has grown so much which prompted the addition of the second skatepark at Veterans Park,” Cuthbertson added.
