Though you'd like to see this, dropping in on banks. The first drop in is by Marty Grimes a longboard legend and OG Z-Boy been skating for 30 years or more. The banks are Paul Revere Jr. High...a must skate for anyone visiting the west coast. Sorta like dropping in on a wave.

I was just in Santa Monica last week, I did not get to the Revere Banks
(was not sure they were still even rideable). Thanks for the video.
What I did do was to find the old Jeff Ho Z-Boys shop on the corner
of Bay & Main. It was closed up and appeared to be just a front left
up as a landmark. My girlfriend was taking my picture of me in front of it
when a guy came out of the surf shop right next door. I said that I
was into skateboarding history, he said asked me if I would like to
go in? I said sure, and he whips out a set of keys and opens the door!
So I got to go in, I was so stoked! He said that there has been some remodeling
done, but there were lots of re-issue Dogtown boards in there along
with a huge wall painted in the Dog Town logo. Lots of pictures on
the walls of the original Z-Boys riding. There were a few new wheels
and trucks for sale also. I guess the shop is open for business sometimes?
I bought some Bulldog Conical wheels from the guy (I think his name
was Randy). and thanked him for showing me this historic place. He
said that some day it will probably be torn out for development.
Then I went right down the street and skated down Bicknel Hill!
