What are the "Brooklyn Banks"?

**Sensei** · 05-25-2006 11:36 AM

Can't tell you, its a big secret spot

Oh, what the hell, just make sure you blindfold any newcomers you bring there so they can't find the way back

There right under the Brooklyn Bridge but on the Manhattan side, near Ground Zero. There used to be a small bank and then a big bank, but now there's only the big bank. I also saw pictures and it looks as if they removed the benches and planters over by the big bank, which makes it even bigger, and added a flat bar over to the side. Should be fun!

heres what it looked like in like october

**Sensei** · 05-25-2006 12:54 PM

ooooooh! they did remove some planters for sure, that's alot more room! I can't wait now!! We might have to stop on our way home tomorrow night 8)

i drove by the Brooklyn banks a few weekends ago and about 5 kids and an old guy were skating there; looked pretty intact. unfortunately, i didn't have my board in the car with me.

haha.... im a fisherman. 2nd guessing weather forcasts is an art form for us. i subscribe to 2 pay weather services and check a half dozen more each day - weather, wind, moon, tides, sat maps, water temps, barometer, etc.

my best guess is it will rain late thurs night /fri am. im hoping anyway.

edit: im dead wrong (as usual). now all my programs show a downpour from 5-8pm. aaaarghh. im still riding my slide setup to work and i should be picking up that new sprint 38 as well.....

luckily weather is always changing

if its decent ill see you all there

**pyrate** · 05-26-2006 05:43 PM

rain has stopped for now...
ill be there, brian (earthwing) will be there... come on out and RIP it up!!

**pyrate** · 05-26-2006 09:15 PM

well that was rainy and short, but fun.
ill be there again tomorrow 7pm. see you there....

**Jam** · 05-26-2006 11:00 PM

yup

**Sensei** · 05-27-2006 05:51 AM

Yeah, the rain stopped us from making the trek in last night, but we'll be there tonight at 7 for sure. That is, if we survive the bowl this morning first

Come on out, the more guys there to try the course the better I can set it to match everyone.

**roastbeef540** · 05-27-2006 10:43 AM

thats if we get to the bowl... t bags MIA

Mike D, I couldn't find your e-mail. I got the editing done, and video posted
on the site from slippery saturday, and you got a couple bangers in there. I
like the one where you come out of a 360 slide riding switch AND regular at the
same time with your legs crossed. Bananas. Chris Dahl from Rayne Skateboards
killed it. I am so inspired to get my sorry ass out on friday, get stoopid, and
see if I can make it to the hospital. I smell a stand up 360 to fronside chipped
toof! So everybody who can make it out to the biggest rip yet on Friday, bring
your bandages, because we are going to RIP Brooklyn a whole new one at 8pm,
Friday June 9th in Prospect Park. take the f to prospect blah,blah,blah call me
if you don't know how to get there...
