Didn't see a thread about this already.. But I'm going to be there for a couple days next week so I was wondering where "Black Box" was or where some other cool spots like that are..
-
It's on Baker and Piedmont. If you're looking for "famous" spots in the city you can just cruise up and down Peachtree and see a lot of them, really fun cruise too. Watch out for the segway cops.
-
Ha, thanks man. I was lurking the Pics of Skate Spots thread and saw this

looks sooo fun, can you tell me where it is?
-
It's behind Bellsouth and it kind of shtanks, it's on Peachtree and North Ave. If you take the Marta around the north/south lines for the first few stops you can usually find some cool stuff.
-
awesome, thanks again!

#atlantaswag

I think it's closer to the side of campus near Centennial park.
Also, I hope you guys are bringing shorts.
-
the GT rail is in the building across the street from the student athletic center.
-
Also, I hope you guys are bringing shorts.
-
huh - always thought that rail was in athens for some reason..
check out the new 4th ward park, the Atnalta foundation ( if the public is still welcome? ), and definitely cruise down peachtree from around baker st... brown marble ledges at baker/peachtree.. bomb the hill from peachtree down baker to black box ledges.. over one street south from there next to trader vicks is the piss ledge/hubba.. peachtree marta is fun to hit and theres stuff aound woodruff park.. hit up stratosphere or talk to someone at the 4th ward park for more spots
-
Thanks, should arrive there in a few hours

looks sooo fun, can you tell me where it is?
on west peachtree near the famous bellsouth (but now called the at&t) building with black handrails and banked walls...
-
you should hit up atnalta foundation on north ave. Its a gated off DIY spot. But if its somewhere there they'll let you in and definitely fill you in on the spots. and its around the corner from the new city park if you wanna skate some tranny.
its usually gonna be around 90 degress till the sun goes down and no or very wind...so stale stank air...so a water bottle is wise. since stores are widespread and expensive in the city....
free parking is virtually none existent if your gonna be in the city. so try to avoid driving from place to place if possible....
-
where you comin' from? and what brings you to the ole dirty south?
-
Well Im here right now, coming from Memphis.. Me and my folks are stopping here for the night on our way to DC.
-
gotcha.. well ill be down at the 4th ward park around sundown-ish.. print out that erica yary pic and tape it to your shirt. lol
hope ya have a nice stay while yer here
-
HA, Ill see if I can make it over there

thanks!

1st is at a rec center at hammond dr and glenridge dr. in sandy springs.. theres basketball courts and some baseball fields around it... oh and that rail is fucking huge. prepare to get hurt
2nd is off 14th street -- look behind Ark animal hospital ( coincidentally where i take my pets! ) -- yer gonna want to hit this one after business hours i believe - but its a cool spot.. harder than it looks
3rd one is gone - that was the avondale mall rail.. pretty sure they tore the whole place down.
-
The mall at Piedmont and North, or Ponce is gone right? It had the big two story globe, a rail and some water gaps. Concrete benches too.
I used to live by that thing. Had some good fun there.
-
white banks fucking sucks, save yourself the time.

That bump to barrier is next to 75 near midtown. Not sure where that school is, I'm under the impression it's close to Turner Field. Bank launcher is a block or 2 from McCoy Park
