Holy Ride’s time among us lasted all of one day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a group of skaters installed the three-ramp creation<\/a> featuring Jesus on a skateboard at the Tompkins Square Park TF.\u00a0By yesterday, NYC Parks had arrived and told the group that Holy Ride, the heavenly successor to Hell Ride<\/a>, had to come down.\u00a0But this wasn’t quite the end.<\/p>\n

The skaters repurposed the panels to create a pyramid in the center of the TF. (Jesus was a carpenter, after all.)<\/p>\n

Franco The Thirteenth, the artist behind Holy Ride \u2014 as well as its predecessor, Hell Ride \u2014 was confident about the pyramid’s future.\u00a0“Parks can’t do anything about the pyramid,” he said. “It’s here to stay.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a fundraiser titled “Hell Ride III<\/a>” continues to help support whatever comes next.\u00a0So Holy Ride may be gone, but apparently there will be a resurrection…<\/p>\n
