When will the city planning departments in NY Philadelphia etc realise that when they demolish iconic skate spots like the Banks, Love etc, they are erasing cultural history.

@Bobbie Tuggboat swing and a miss buddy. That has no place here. The south lost a long time ago - if you're thinking on their wavelength then you should go. Look at who's in this video and ask yourself if you actually respect them or if you think they should be in cuffs somewhere. We won't be waiting for your answer don't worry.

Bobbie Tuggboat dude. Shut up. Quit acting tough because most people in the skate community are passive weenies. At the end of the day you’re just as much a weenie. Acting tough in a room full of 12 years old. Yikes.

I skated Brooklyn Banks from 97-04. Use to skate with Rodney Torres. Me and my friend Ryan put the metal ledges on Seaport and that became the biggest spot down off Water St. I still skate all the time but I moved to SF in 05. Best decision ever.

Yeah, my friend Ryan from Brooklyn and I nailed two eight foot angle irons on. It actually worked really well because the ledges are solid wood. My friend Ryan owns a skatepark in Raleigh North Carolina. I tried to start a board company called Anti Virus. I still skate as much as possible and I’m 41 now

I had a 411 vhs with a Brooklyn banks section..I'm so old 😭

I skated there few times back in my teen years. One thing you have to remember is that skating there was brutal, environment wise. Alot, I mean aaaalot of cracks, uneven bricks everywhere & wacky surfaces, lot of merchandise trucks & traffic, without mentioning the intimidating aura of the locals. Kinda the SF Embarcadero of the East Coast. Unique spot, no doubt.

I always see this place and think the brick floor looks really unfriendly to skateboard wheels. Theres a place where I live in Middlesbrough England called MIMA where a lot of skaters hang out. It has a very similar floor layout and your wheel can get hung up easy as fuck man

This was really beautiful! The editing, the soundtrack, so old school NYC. It was mostly newer, though. I was out there from like '87 to '92. I remember Eli Gessner back when he was in high school, when Zoo York was just a tag. Jeff Pang was my idol! Huff was my man. Kid had pop way back then! (He used to practice riding down in elevators. Had me scared to death!) Of course, Harold was always crazy. R.I.P. He was down with that Skate N.Y.C. crew from the Lower East. All those Dominicans from the movie, "Kids." I was cool with all of them. Every Saturday at the Banks from 8 a.m. Then, by mid-afternoon, head toward the fullpipe and the banks, benches and wooden curbs at the Seaport, the red brick banks, the Hudson waterfront, everything! Home by like 7 or 8.Every week! Those were the days. Soho Skates before they moved to Varick. Shut boards when they only had one color! Speaking of which, what about Coco, Felix, Mike Kepper, Barker, Bruno or Rodney? (I remember seeing Rodney bust a kingpin slappying the planters (the really tall ones!) at the banks. It is still the most hardcore thing I have ever seen!) I will say, though, you had Peter Hyunh: that's a name I hadn't thought off in 30 years! He was the man when we were kids! He used to judge all the Banks' ESA contests I used to enter. Yo! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! One love.

Fuckin' love this!

Always great to see some Keenan footage, RIP. And nice touch having his homie Huf's footage next to his. I have never been to the banks, but I recall it from countless magazine and video appearances back in the day, and when I think of street skating this is the spot that I always visualize. Thank you for this amazing history lesson.

One better: Back in those days Harold Hunter and crew would frequent the banks. I believe it was sometime in ‘94 a producer of the movie Kids rolled up to the banks and asked me and a few friends if we wanted to be extras in the movie’s skate scene(s). Turned out they used us for the club scene instead. Filmed at The Tunnel club. Everyone got all they could eat pizza and a $10 bill for a few hours of filming. BX Banx shit. 🤘

Man I love Classic Skateboarding! Rest In Peace Harold Hunter 🙏🏽

Brooklyn banks was a true classic

90s man.....take me back pleaseeeee

i always said that quims nollie varial flip was the dopest that ever went down at the banks... ever since cinematographer... respect...

Quim, Keenan, Stevie, so many OG's. Legendary spot. Endless bangers. Already rewatching.

Awesome one that skated then in the late 80s to mid 90s, trust me, they were raw!!!

I was there at 5:56-6:07 I'm 33 now and I was probably 14 back then, Muska and Dill put on a show, Spencer Fujimoto and Scott Johnson were also there that day with them, definitely one of my most memorable days as a kid when I'd go to skate the banks

the golden era of skating

I miss this era

So cool seeing some old footage and remembering those names I used to see back in the day

got the pleasure to check out the banks in december 1995 while on a family vacation. That same trip I got to skate Pulaski and some other east coast spots. such a great trip!

Man that place looks so fuckin fun, no wonder it’s been liked so much

I love this spot

HOW COULD THEY TEAR THIS DOWN

As an out of shape skater that's recently found refuge in skater XL, I wouldn't be surprised if Session has brought a new generation of Brooklyn Banks enthusiasts to the consumer demand lines, and for that I am grateful. This is the heaviest OG street rejuvenation vid I've caught in a looong time. Give thanks!!!

Like a trip down memory lane, I remember all these guys from the 90s. Good clips

Such an amazing time. Seeing that smooth Kalis style in the Lynx will never get old.

ah! The baggy pants, massive shoes and the street lines with House of Pain playing on the track! Miss those days when was no money and big contests on the scene. (not as much as today)

Thank you for the time traveling!!

Somethin' about hearing the sound of skating on top of brick right before an ill trick gets popped and then hearing the brick sound again after the landing!

Every time the chorus says 5-0, there's someone doing a 5-0. I see you editor man. Very clever

this is the cream and cream of American skateboarding .... broklin banks are the mecca of 90's skateboarding

Named my daughter after this place Brooklyn Rain. Thanks for retrospective !

All the Brooklyn banks videos 🔥

Damn I always wanted to see lines like those at small banks, thanks RB

So good! Rewatch due

Absolute golden era of skating wen non park skaters ruled, baggy pants n big shoes n skate anything mentality. Love it.

Beautiful.

This is beautiful

pls more of this series

Thank you

Man! My jams and gear all thru this so many influential dudes to my skating! Great edit RB!

SO rad!! Thanks, RB!! Booyakasha!! Memories....

Best video on Thrasher ever!

I haven't seen some of those names in so long. This got me stoked!

Just what i needed.

Gonna miss the sounds of the bank, Session skate simulator has a pretty accurate replica to check out

Beautiful ✨

I always wanted to skate Brooklyn banks

Pure gold

This is the best video I've seen in forever, east coast skating will always be better! I live in Milwaukee so the spots are all fucked up like out there and I wouldn't have it any other way. If the spot was still there the skating wouldn't look any different, Completely timeless.

skating was so raw . Thx Thrasher

Almost thought y'all was gonna leave Quim out but you left him for the ender... BOSS MOVE!!!

Long live The Banks Of Bricks 🧱 🛹

A lot of great Trilogy and Zoo York Mixtape footage. I always liked Maurice Key's Brooklyn Banks footage. Javier's switch flip over the wall was so smooth. Ben Liversedge ripped. And an unseen Lennie Kirk clip! Amazing edit.

So good

Hell yeah man bring back memories I was there in 99

mid 90s hiphop. The best

“Even if they hit 5-0” at 5:30 and 6:20 is perfect editing

I remember skating with RB and Anthony Correa as a kid at the skatepark of Houston. Good dudes, and this rewind on the banks is just filthy sick and I love it. 🔥🔥🔥

Love this spot, my dream is skate Brooklyn Banks...dope video!

Oh hell yeah

Thank you for this.

And as another historic iconic world famous skate spot vanishes i can only wish i got the chance to skate it once . And big respect to anyone who broke in to get a brick or two . Don't lose them . R.I.P the Banks

I met Lucero and Grigley there back in 89.blew my mind..that place is historic

Pretty cool seeing some Keith Hufnagel footage but it's a shame there's so little Stevie Williams.

Used to get off the train at city hall, and go to the brooklyn banks, after that go skate the buildings on water street, then go to the south street seaport, almost everyday
