ShredAmerica Rules!

Two Niles residents and two of their friends are making an epic 850 miles trip – on longboards!  Mike Kosciesza and Arthur Swidzinski are on their skateboards riding from Chicago to New York City.

They’ll be videotaping their monthlong trip — and all of the adventure and drama they encounter — and making it into a documentary called “Shred America.”

The Mayor of Niles, Nicholas Blase, has contacted the longboarders “on the road” and has wished them a safe and successful trip. 

Check their progress on the ShredAmerica blogsite.
