June 21st is the official, "Go Skateboarding Day". To celebrate the occasion, Xtreme Wheels Indoor Skate Park, in conjunction with B.Lo Boards, is hosting a skate parade. The skate parade is a first of it's kind for the City of Buffalo and Western New York.


Intuit is sponsoring a national contest called, "Love a Local Business". Selected from over 30,000 nominations nation wide, Xtreme Wheels Indoor Skate Park was awarded one of the eight Growth Grants valued at $5,000.

Jello Biafra stops in!
On Tuesday June 20th, ex-Dead Kennedy member and social activist and anarcist (though not a promoter of anarchy), Jello Biafra made a surprise stop at Xtreme Wheels with his Spoken Word Tour. Here he is with our very own resident anarchist, Virginia. They look so harmless, don't they?

Chappelle on wheels


After he appeared at Shea's Performing Arts Center
about a week ago, comedian Dave Chappelle was
looking for some fun in Western New York.

Nightclub? Casino? No.

The erstwhile Comedy Central star decided to do something
a little more extreme. Or Xtreme.

Chappelle and friends contacted the folks at Xtreme Wheels Indoor Skate Park on Hertel Avenue and asked for a little after-hours party. Owner Virginia Mazgajewski said the star and an entourage of about 10 showed up around midnight and skateboarded the night away, finally departing - after posing for pictures - around sunrise the next day.

"It was really, really fun, and he was incredibly gracious," Mazgajewski said.

He also bought a T-shirt from the park and wore it after cutting off the sleeves. The next day, Mazgajewski told a couple of awestruck young boys that Chappelle had been there.

Then it dawned on her.

"You know, I think those sleeves are still in the garbage."

So if "Dave Chappelle's sleeves" show up on eBay, you'll know where they came from.
