I got to skate the banks in the early aughts while visiting from New Orleans... the locals were incredibly nice, and the session was one I'll never forget. I have some old VX clips, super stoked to have documentation. Really hopeful that they can get something done!

I spent a bunch of summers as a kid in Brooklyn. I remember the first time I went in the late 80’s and it took weeks for me to figure out where the place was. I had no clue because I’d only heard about it. I never saw any skaters anywhere and Brooklyn is huge. Finally I met a kid who told me where it was. Then it took a while to get my dad to let me get a cab there by myself.

So do we!

First time skating here was in 1999. Jennifer Love Hewitt was filming for her TV show called "Time of your Life" and the crew was doing shots on the Bridge. They asked me to be an extra for the show and to skate into her as she would jump out of the way... She didn't move, I crashed into her, and the footage was never released. So not only did I get to skate the banks for the first time, I touched my first pair of boobies on that glorious day. The banks truly are a magical place.

Awesome

I've been there many times on the PS1 game Thrasher: Skate and Destroy. Never in real life though.

Nice! I think many people are in the same boat.

I just watched three of your videos and it's 10 out of 10 quality 👍🔥 I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell.

I was at the nine set last summer. Never skated the big or little banks.
