through twitter,,i ran into an old, old skate friend who i have not spoken to in about 18years.. anyhow,,he linked me to some old photos he scanned to flickr.. it is hard to believe that this is already 21years ago & we are still skating http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianbrook ... 069166968/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/brianbrook ... 069166968/ get rad!!
yes,,it has inspired me to dig out my old pics from back then & scan them at work..i am hoping to dig them out by next weekend.. i know i have lots from the brooklyn banks...good times!! the harlem banks were great (minus the over hanging lip which hindered their potential).. i think it's then sketchy location,,kept a lot of the downtown & out-of-town rats away..135st & malcolm x blvd was interesting in the height of the crack epidemic legend has it that hosoi rocked up there around that time period & pulled 5foot airs!! it was certainly not documented & never heard anymore about it..i wonder if those banks still exist??
That's awesome! I've been trying to get out skating more lately but I tweaked my achilles last weekend and now pushing kills me, it sucks. More people should post up old skate photos!
