Title: One again, anyone know where in NYC this is? Trying to skate this weekend
Post by: dpelevator on March 13, 2018, 07:01:41 AM
Want to find the spot to skate this weekend. I have reason to believe its near flushing ave stop in Bushwick.

I have spent the morning on google streetview looking for green basketballs courts surrounded by a 2-lane track surrounded by a fence that match this to no avail.

Not near the Flushing stop at all.

Thank you! My "reason to believe" was based on the IG location tag being near the flushing ave stop.

Oh she was playin', that Starbucks is taking over a local retailer called Fat Albert's. A shame.

Anyway, the spot is strictly daytime hours and is backdropped by PS 770 and an apartment complex. Pee in the corner by the tree, try to hit dirt. Flatground is great. If you take the train, get off at any stop off Eastern Parkway (Utica Av 2, 3, 4, or 5 is the closest), then it's a short hill bomb south on Utica and bear left on Montgomery.

Shiiiiiit, that looks like a fun spot. 20 minute drive from me (in Queens). Will have to swing that way soon.

Brownsville banks. Those things are fucking sketchy, the place that is. Just a heads up.

How sketchy (as in hood) is it? I always hear it’s bad and I skate alone a lot...

I've only been there once but it didn't seem too sketchy to me, it was the day lilnicegirl filmed that line actually, I'm in the background in the blue jeans haha.  It was cold though so there were almost no people outside at all, which  made it seem pretty safe.
