1 Attachment(s)
this is one of the spots i wana visit next year when i go on my solo self-funded tour of the USA and Europe. i'll be in the USA for about 3 months hopefully.
i would like input from Queens or whoever knows the area on how good the area is for street. all i could find was this pic: |
they put grass and dirt in that area.
|
so should i just give the area a miss?

this is rideable, they put a new black round rail in. http://www.skatespots.com/ny/spots/banks04.jpg They took all those little planters out and put a flat rail where that guy is. The slabs of concrete from the planters were used to make ledges scattered throughout the area. The animal grind box is still there, and there is always wood on those 10 stairs to 360 up or whatever. there is also a sub-box on the bank that has been there for years. the bank to wallride had a lightpole in front of it, but they removed it, but there is a little hole where it was. nothing to worry about. there is also a nice flat bank to wall on the other side, and you can see corey martinez hit it on road fools 14 |
Queensrider, did you jack someone's camera? :D
|
those pics were off the internet, and they were taken like 5 years ago
|
thanks Queens.

there are a ton of places to ride in brooklyn, just ride around in the parks and there are spots you can ride. and just other random stuff. you wont have any trouble finding stuff.
were are you going to be? |
If you go to brooklyn, don't make eye contact with anybody. You are white, and you might know about Americas past , with all the segragation. These poor people in these ghettos of brooklyn are extremely ignorant, and they hate all white people. If you tell them you are from Africa, they would rob you/ kick your ass. Don't trust anybody here and carry a knife
|
actually, about the parks thing. if you see a bunch of "shady" kids sitting around in the park which you will see, they might not want you screwing around in there. you may thnk the whole turf thing is over, nope. i once saw some kids get messed up by hockey sticks becasue they came into these kids park and wouldnt leave.
dont want to get you scared, you will prob make it out alive ;) |

best time to visit the banks is in August you'll probably get to ride in the next animal jam. I was told this whip is on the newly released shook video. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2530/97image80my.jpg

Who was making fun of races? He's not some snotty Mirra wannabe, probably works 100 times harder at tricks than most of you guys ever will.
|
doubt it.....(the working 100x harder on tricks).....
|
not that he doesnt work hard........hell, he probably works hard as heck......but other people do to....
