this is rideable, they put a new black round rail in.
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

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

thats this guy i know. He's one of the best riders in the Ny area.
He's coming up man, he's already in a video, and you can see him in the first animal jam where he falls doing a 25+ ft 180.

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.
