China Banks Skate Spot

Featured

This {place} has been a {famous} skate spot for the {final} 20+ years. Its a {fairly} steep transition but a lot of {fun}. There has been a lot of blood shed at this skateboard spot. The bricks are narley and unforgiving and you have to {always} {constantly} watch out for {these} damn benches. The funny {thing} is the benches have skate stoppers on them but that is not what you go skate at China Banks.

{Right here} is a an exerpt from Crashin In Skate: “Has {anybody} watched the sk8 video Powell &amp Perelta “The Search For Animal Chin”. In that sk8 {movie} they skate a legendary spot {called} the Chinatown Banks in San Francisco. {Nicely} {because} it was my {first} time {visiting} SF, I was hoping I would see some cool skaters and some legendary spots (Embarcado and The Chinatown Banks). I walked {about} for hours and couldn’t {discover} the Chinatown Banks {anyplace}. Then I got tired and headed up to my hotel {room}. {Whilst} I was bored waiting for the elevator I looked out the window. Low and behold what do I see. {Right} {before} my eyes, the legendary banks are {really} {part} of my hotel. They are on a bridge that joins a park with the hotel. I was so excited that I ran up to get my camera and took some {pictures} of the banks. {Unfortunately} I didn’t bring my board on this trip or didn’t see any skaters. But at least I got to hang with a bum at the banks and {assist} him open his bottle of Chinese wine. He claimed that his hand was broken from the war so he {required} {assist}. Anyhow, I soon learned that California is {truly} the {very best} {place} in the {globe} for skate spots, hands down. Be on the lookout for a {evaluation} of a bunch of a new sk8 dvds coming out soon. “


Ahh {appear} at how steep {these} transitions are! You have to hit them {fairly} {difficult} and {fast} and if you {happen} to go {over} the edge its {quite} a drop!

Man it {requires} all {kinds}. Our {small} hero {here} is going for a high speed carve on a {ten} Speed Bike!. Gotta give him props for that.
