Hi,

I'm going with a bunch of buddies to skate in Philly in June. Anyone from Philly on here that feels like skating with a bunch dudes from Toronto?

Oh and if you ever need someone to show you around Toronto I know a bunch of good spots.

tobey · « **Reply #1 on:** March 15, 2011, 10:24:49 PM »

live outside of it but i know great spots to direct you to because i should be spendin my days in june at the beach

examples:

:30 seconds its inside the campus of UPENN, plus there are other great spots inside the campus (tom asta does switch front heel switch tailslide 270 out)

1:07 is about 20 minutes outside of philly

2:35 is at Penn's landing, also has other shit inside the place

Temple Campus has the famous cecil b moore spot (you can get off from the train there same as love park and city hall)

hit me up here ill try to give you better information tomorrow i just picked the first video and named some other shit

just make sure you go there early, after 1 you should stay away from there and head back towards the temple campus

its in one of the worst neighborhoods in north philly

superslopp · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:27:42 AM »

yeah i know. i've only been there once and we stayed for most of the day but it is a real sketchy neighborhood.

JamesNtheGntPch · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2011, 08:47:11 PM »

heh. i made that last video a few years ago and i honestly haven't been back there in a long time. i don't think i really knew the spot well enough to make a video about it.

anyone skate in east falls or manayunk?

McDuff · « **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2011, 10:57:27 PM »

never explored east falls, but ive been through manayunk a few times. its definitely a fun place to skate. i really cant give you anything specific, sorry, but plenty of hills to bomb and little spots here and there. just like philly, id say just park and explore. and get pulled pork and mac and cheese at tommy gunns bbq.

JamesNtheGntPch · « **Reply #10 on:** July 14, 2011, 12:46:53 AM »

I'm a veggie, but I've had fries and iced tea there before. In Manayunk there's a cool pole jam that you can turn in the ground to get different angles of approach. Mifflin ledge in East Falls is a nice place to go.

Drinking and Cheese Steaks. Philly is sick. Love park is really hard to skate, definitely worth going to check out tho. Its TINY in real life. I was blown away when i got there.

City Hall is going to be renovated in the near future, or there are plans to do so at least. The new design is going to do away with the stairs and benches. I don't know what will be left to skate in the plaza.

a glass mega mini? sick.

Eschaton · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2011, 09:34:47 AM »

What the fuck is that shit? When are they building that?

JamesNtheGntPch · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:57:38 PM »

It's supposed to open up city hall more and make the plaza a central hub for septa. The fountains are actually supposed to tell you when the subway subway cars are coming.

I'm heading out to philly this week and I really want to skate that five block bleacher thing with the banks next to it. I've already skated the three block one, which is ready sick, but the other one looks way better.

That thing is about 45 min from center city, deep in the Northeast. It's fun, but might not be as awesome as your mental image (that was my experience at least).

go to Pops, best park in the city by far

not sure of its exact location but just go to Kensington and skate around

hazard and trenton is one of the street corners of pops. it's fun, but it gets packed easily.

8th and poplar is a nice spot near by. it's by a play ground and a basketball court underneath a bridge.

Brick · « **Reply #26 on:** September 06, 2011, 07:45:43 PM »

its sort of far out, but whitehall is a fun park

Heading to Philadelphia today (thursday) with my friends band. Tomorrow I'll be around in the daytime/evening with no plans. Anyone wants to skate or drink with a 31 year old dude from New York then hit me up.
