The Street Series presented by Monster Energy was held yesterday for BMX day in the city of Philadelphia. Frank Ashbridge was on hand at the set meet up location at Franklin Paine’s Plaza to shoot some photos for his Shutter Destruction project. Temperatures reached nearly one hundred degrees and rain poured down later in the day but the event still produced a huge turn out and a lot of great riding went down. Make sure to check out the gallery of photos below provided by Frank and don’t forget to check out Shutter Destruction for more.
