This Old Ledge: Pier 7 

This is my favorite Thrasher series in recent years.

This series shows how important skating is, the informed and interesting studies it creates

keep this series as long as possible. Skate history, architecture, urban planning, city history all roll into one, luv it.

Hard to put into to words how much I enjoy this series. Every single episode is simply perfect. A big thank you to everyone who works on these. They're incredible.

I dont want this series to ever end, keep these coming 🙏

Another beautiful episode for the culture and history of skateboarding. Thank you, Ted and Thrasher Magazine.

Never thought I'd see skateboarding explained in such an elegant way. keep these coming

Incredible! Send Ted everywhere to provide artistic context to this era of skateboarding before it’s forgotten/lost. Really feel Ted is on an island with his ability to articulate all of this. This is important. Keep going.

Marcus is criminally underrated

Some of the best memories of my life. The whole sf skate scene vibe back in 1998- 2002 was so amazing. Staying at satvas/Brennans, meeting up with my friend steve and kyle. Eating all the best food... i get warm fuzzy feelings when i reminisce.

love these. they’re like a mix between pbs and thrasher

Wow. This might have been the best episode in the series. Well done.

For anyone wondering the jazz that’s playing in the background is “When I’m Gone” by Rupert Van Der Hoek

Marc Johnson’s 360flip manual 360 flip out at the pier is one of my all time favorite tricks

Pier 7 is one of the most legendary spots in skateboarding history. The Marcus McBride edit is underrated.

I moved to SF from Israel in 1996 and spent hours each day watching the pros and then coming back to skate it at night when no one was there. I was so afraid to skate while they were doing epic things, I could only dream about… Loved those days, and to see the pros and how they grew into the legends they are today after more than 20 years is really cool

i need a 10h video of ted passionately talking about skateboarding and architecture history

I remember the Embarcadero was super sketchy and we got chased out by undercover cops. But right across the street at Pier 7 we skated their til 2am. Everything their was bigger and you walked onto that landmark with the upmost respect for the territory and anyone who was better than you. We patiently sat and watch for a while because we all knew we were foreigners and had to show respect. Once we met a few guys and caught our bearings we started skating Peir 7. It really took your breath away skating those ledges especially with everyone watching. You didnt want to look like a poser. Everyone there was from another state and country. We met dudes from Europe and South America. I remember seeing Salma Agah skate by. He didnt stop he just continued skating down the street. Found memories of that spot.

Skated here for the first time in my life two months ago. Got some wheelies proper. Such an iconic ledge. Well, all of them.

This series is very well put together, I hope you guys can continue to create content like this.

I can’t begin to describe how much I love this series. Learning the history of spots I grew up watching on film brings me endless joy! Well done Thrasher, well done.

Cant wait to see you take this series to the east coast!

This series goes so hard. Thank you for making it. Take this guy around the world and cover all the historic spots!!

I love passing by Pier 7 and seeing skaters killin it. Brings so much joy.

had the pleasure of hitting this spot when i visited SF.. actually super hard to skate. the energy there was unreal as well tbh

Biggest spot of my childhood. Always makes me feel good about life watching skating at pier 7.

Coming from the other side of the country, I always loved seeing Pier 7 footage. It influenced my favorite type of skating in hopes that one day I could go there and just look at it, maybe even try a trick or two. Hopefully one day I can make it out there.

Growing up in SF skating these spots from the 1980s and beyond I love this series, it takes me back to my childhood and makes me want to hit some slappies and a ledge or 2 thanks guys.

LA & San Diego spots next! This series is incredible. We're looking at years worth of important, quality content here. I love learning about this!

This series is really great for people who probably won’t ever skate these spots, like me, but want to know about them because we’ve seen them so many times. It makes me feel like I’m there.

Elias Binghams switch fs blunt shove-it up the ledge has always been one of my favorites

This is easily the best series

This series is so good for teaching the history to all the newer generations

Best show lately,keep them doing!!

More of these! I still get excited when I see Pier 7 regularly

Absolutely loved this series

This content is great, I love how it really demonstrates that Skaters can be rambunctious miscreants who are full of that rebellious spirit, but that doesn't mean that Skaters can't be intelligent, eloquent and educated. I love this Ted guy, his approach to the narrative of skateboarding is a lot like Mullen, very intricate and well researched, almost scientific. It makes me proud to have been a skater, when I watch videos like this that show us in a different light that the societal outcasts, we have our own society, culture and history and I just love everything about this historicity of skateboarding.

Skate culture touches on so many topics,a big web, the history is so rich

thank your for emphasizing lavar and marcus impact on this spot

Dam after they finish frisco I hope they go from city to city like philly , D.C.,Brooklyn ,LA etc … the skate community as a whole needs to know these landmarks that changed the history of skateboarding .. thank you thrasher❤ keeper comin Cuddy!💯 Rip Mac Dre

Best series!

C'est encore une fois excellent! Merci Ted! History, architecture, urban planning and of course skateboarding! Wow! please Thrasher continu this series!

I want more of this. Beautiful series

Another banger episode. Hope these can go on for a very long time.

Growing up in the late 90s -2000s these spots were my skatepark every single weekend

I'm happy to be a part of this era and it will never be forgotten being from San Jose came across Gershon Mosely in a couple of late night street sessions and remember how dope he was and actually still is. SF will always have that "wow" factor, shot out to all my fellow boarders who threw down some crazy shit!!!

An iconic spot that's seen a ton of solid action over the years.. 👍👍

Best series ever !!!!! More Ted!!

This series really is incredible.

By far the best series

Amazing series, love how frequent the uploads have been. Thank you all involved I'm Aussie and I went to Pier 7 back in February this year, JP Souza was there. It was a great experience

Love this series, Ted is the man!

Such a good series. Please keep the episodes coming

Thrasher with the free history lessons. Thx

Used to love going there on the weekends and see Marcus kill it. He was ALWAYS there. Saw Lavar, Karl, York, Henry, and a ton of other guys do ridiculous stuff as well. Oh, and Chef Pierre usually had new sets of Spitfires for $10.

Henry fakie heel fakie manny is so legendary in my mind and heart. Last trick in the first part of one of my all time favorite videos. So awesome. Cali Agents represent. So rad 🤙♥️💐

Please keep this series going

Great series. I'm from the midwest and went to sf in vacation probably like 20 years ago and got a nose manual in it.

This series needs a dvd physical release with a photo book. Would be awesome to have in the collection.

So stoked on this series

Love these. Keep killing it Ted

U guys better never stop making these series 🎉

I could watch these all day.

I haven’t even started this one yet but needed to just say thank you Thrasher Magazine for this series. These will go down as history books in our skate community for generations to come..

Love this series

Another great episode in this series. Well done Ted!

Best series :)

We really will travel around the world for a ledge❤❤❤

this series is so good, keep em coming thrasher thank u

5:22 still my favorite clip of his part

I could watch this segment from thrasher all day after work.. oh wait.. I do!!! Keep this shit up!! It’s so fucking rad having the breakdown of these spots. And the encyclopedia of tricks this dude has… mad fucking props.

This series is so well done. Perfect in every way.

Knew the pier was next, it’s sick how close all of these spots are if ya know the city it’s crazy that emb hubba the blocks and the pier are all lined up like that

I remember pulling up to SF with my family on a Norcal trip, ready to rip Pier 7 in front of my family in 2004, only to show up to it being completely skate-stopped. I couldn't believe the most legendary spot(in my head) was skate-stopped and over with.

I love this, after the bay is wrapped up please do LA, NY, Philly, every major skate city please. That would be amazing.

Top tier series right here

These make my lunch break a little bit better every Wednesday

This series rips. Homie’s a poet.

Keep em coming!!

Damn, I wanna travel to all those places right now!

Late 90s had the best skateboarding to date in my opinion. It really reached maturity. Proud of my peers.

This series is so good! The skate nerd in me loves hearing all the history behind these spots

I love these.❤

Best series on the internet and dudes words are so inspiring and unique I love it.

Love these, Ted you're the man.

This is the best series from Thrasher in a while man I LOVE these videos. Maybe one on the Blubba?

Another awesome addition to the series

Best series since Bru Ray

We need so many more of these. I love Ted

Absolutely love this series.

I was waiting and hoping for Peir 7 to come up! So rad

Absolutely love this series

To have more than one iconic skate spots n one area

love this

Still need to go visit this spot, the pier 7 replica at my local park was always were the session was started

Awesome documentary series, a "must be skate" spot so far !!

I just want to say thank you for knowing the difference between a half cab and a nollie 180. There's a new trend out there where kids are calling a nollie 180 a nollie halfcab. And, they are calling a pop shove-it a shove-it. A shove-it is when your back wheels come off the ground first and you rotate on the front truck. If you ollie first then it's pop shove-it. I've been skating since 1984.

Amazing on every level! Thank you Ted and thank you to everyone involved!

Nostalgia..Good history lesson

Legendary spot grew up going there
