Nike 6.0 Brings Banksgiving to Newark Valley, New York Celebrate BMX and the construction of the Nick Wilson Memorial Park, Oct 10th Beaverton, OR- Sept. 23, 2009- Nike 6.0 is bringing Banksgiving to Newark Valley, NY on October 10th, celebrating BMX in memory of Nick Wilson, a fellow rider who died in Iraq while serving his country. Banksgiving is a BMX jam that brings together the BMX community for a good ol’ session with friends, pro riders, and a feast for all. Everyone is invited to ride and celebrate the construction of the Nick Wilson Memorial Park. In March 2008, Nike 6.0 hosted an online contest to win a custom backyard mini-ramp. Nick Marzolino's winning entry brought to light the efforts of the Village of Newark Valley, local BMXer’s and many others to create a community BMX and skate park, in honor of Nick Wilson. Nike 6.0 was inspired by the collective commitment to the project, and in lieu of a miniramp, promised Nick and Newark Valley to build multiple features for the park. “I was really excited when Nike told me that I had won the contest and they wanted to bring Banksgiving to town and help build the park. There is a growing BMX scene in Newark Valley, and they all deserve a place to ride without being hassled,” said Nick Marzolino. “Nick Wilson would have been proud to see the community work together to accomplish something that benefits so many people.” Nike 6.0 is helping Newark Valley to reach their dream of having a safe place for the community’s youth to ride in honor of Nick Wilson. The Nick Wilson Memorial Park will receive a significant build out, designed by John Saxton, followed by a Banksgiving Jam. The building crew will break ground in Newark Valley the first week of October. Save the date and stay tuned for info. See you at Banksgiving!

Nicholas Wilson Memorial Park

parkfundraisers — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:43:18 CDT

Welcome to the Nicholas Wilson Memorial Park site, brought to you by the Nick Wilson Memorial Park Fund Raising Committee...
Kelly Baker, President
Bob Wilson, Vice President
Tracey Cucci, Secretary
Shannon Baker, Treasurer

The Village of Newark Valley has graciously allowed a bike/skate park on Village property on Whig Street.

The park is named in memory of Nicholas Wilson who died in Iraq on 2-12-06 while serving our country. He was a Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class, EOD Mobile Unit 3.

Nick grew up in Newark Valley, and would ride and work on the dirt trails that used to be at the Trout Ponds.

With the help from a grant the Village received, work has started on the park, and a fence has been erected.

Here is bmx-er Nick Marzolino helping out.

Kelly Baker, our President, has put in a lot of work...

Here is an excerpt from a blog by Kelly Baker:

Here is what we have so far. Some people I want to thank for helping this project get off the ground are the mayor Jim Tornatore, Peggy Head, John Kaufman, Scott Combs and the Wilson family. We have a long ways to go but I think we are doing pretty good so far. When I am out there working alone I can't help but think that if Nick Wilson was around that there would be no way he wouldn't be right by my side working away.
