except that this dude is a fvkng moron. there are no fvkng crackheads there. it's never been sketchy. nobody showed him a fvkng "shank" that is fvkng ridiculous.
using tubes Crackheads usually are more haggard/broke looking and more chill (unless they’re fiending then you’ll have a problem) tweakers are the ones bobbing and dancing to music we can’t hear and usually the more aggressive of the two. I’d rather deal with crackheads tbh, like I said, throw em a few bucks or some smokes and there’s a good chance they’ll bugger off.
@@colebrown8293 Ok, well it isn't an exact quote, but it's almost what the guy in the video said, with a word missing, and a couple words incorrectly flipped around.
@@Highminded12 "This was definitely a spot you didn't get kicked out of by like a security guard, maybe you got kicked out of from like by a crackhead" is the actual quote
Dude this was amazing. I miss those days. But what's even cooler is watching docs likes this on D7 or the Brooklyn banks or the pyramid ledges or whatever. And then being able to go skate the spots on Session. Might just be me being corny. 🤣
in my city someone fixed a bunch of stairs at the park for 500$ personal cost. This was needed for years and he was frustrated. they tore it down i mean right away putting in a 35 000 $ bunch of stairs... they get mad for insurance purposes. someone getting hurt might sue them for your repair no matter how good it is..what a waste though
Switch varial is the coolest trick for me. Switch inward probably the best one done though. Honorable mentions to the Deathwish team's switch flip and switch heelflips.
most of this was filmed in the "awkward" years of skateboarding. after the baggy pants but before the chick pants....the generation i grew up skating in.
Remember going here back in 03-04 when it first started blowing up. I stood on top of it and was like wow I can't even run and jump this thing. By far Antonio's nollie backside flip I don't even see how that is possible, really don't. The ground is so fucked and it would hurt like hell to fall, ground is so rough.
Classic Darrell Stanton butter. That sw bs 180 was so fucking textbook. You couldn’t have made it look anymore effortless. He had to wait till he rolled away for a bit to fix his shades. Lol I always thought Darrell was as cool as he looked on the board. Fucking legend.
Visited this place in probably...1997? Saw a skater named Brandon John? Later saw him in 411. It was a decent looking spot but we were there just to check it out while we were traveling between Maryland and a few other places ..landsdown...and somewhere else I don't remember...
Man these old clips make you feel old when you see 13 year olds these days getting coached to do all the tricks in the first 2:30 of the video first try lol
There is a spot with the same vibe like this outside of downtown Cleveland off east 55th, handful of pros skated it and its been in a few videos when they would come here for demos, right behind the projects, same type of shit, had to go with a crew of like 5-10 skaters or it would be really sketchy. Still kind of was but still a lot of fun if nobody fucked with you.
I forgot that I filmed Geo's rail ollie (Long Lens) but always thought that was crazy since it was so long ago & its a huge rail set back... Also shout out to Sloan for his Stalefish down the blocks, I cant remember but I think Dustin Charlton did a Switch Ollie & maybe Fakie ollied it.. Also I feel like Billy Rohan had a trick or two? All those would have been around 99-05ish
It cracks me up that you gotta go at 2am to FIX cracks cuz if you went during the day they police or someone would probably stop you. Its like were fixing it. Oh no you dont..
props on givin props to Marek. dudes on Primitive now and is still slept on zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz can't believe Antonio Durao sw varial flipped that shit too :O damn
I wonder who the architect was that designed the whole block area. It has a very postmodern feel to it. Definitely not the work of a creative person. I wonder if they ever found out that their project became a haven for skateboarders?
