That place where Marlo and his crew hold court on "The Wire" has some sick bank to ledges, problem is getting in there....
[close]
i always noticed that and wondered why that hasn't shown up in a video yet, seems very Fred Gall or Puleo
[close]
The spot is in some web videos, Thrasher had one Altamont had one too and I have seen random YouTube videos of Baltimore that showed the spot.

Definitely was stoked every time they showed it on The Wire, in fact in the commentary of Season 4 or 5 I can't remember which one but they talk about scouting locations for where Marlo and his crew would hang and they mentioned they found a perfect place that they believed was an abandoned skatepark so it may have been actually designed for skating originally or the producers just thought it was an old skatepark from back in the day.

A pro definitely filmed a trick at that spot, I saw it semi recently. Someone else will probably remember who

The funniest is kink.com,or whatever the company is that runs it, buying the three up three down spot in sf, from BAs dope yeah right line
They show a shot of the warehouse at the start of every video I think, and you can see the stairs

true.
and im sure someone said this in the skate 3 thread.
but ea should just make skate 4 in liberty city.
that would be much more fun than some sort of skateboard utopia with 20 ft ledges.
and on topic its not really a spot but in sienfeld when geroge has the jon voight car and kicks jerry out for talkin shit there is a kid in the background olling up a curb.
i always thought that was cool.

in Sherlock, you can see Sherlock and Watson walking through the south banks i think.
I got really stoked on seeing that. Almost as stoked as the time when i walked past it and found by accident while being a tourist

The city in saints row 2 has a shit load of spots, also there was two double kinker rails next to each other in the beginning of ghost busters 2, don't know if they're the same ones happenstance was talking about.

Not a spot, but in the new ATT commercial the kid 'working' on his skateboard is wearing a Pawnshop Skate Shop tee. So random for such a corporate commercial but nice to see nonetheless.

Beer Keg Peg Leg · « **Reply #78 on:** July 14, 2013, 03:56:41 PM »

i remember i was watchign some episode of law and order with my mom and they needed to ask these skate kids for info and the detective pretended he used to skate to win their hearts and to quiz him their like WHAT BOROUGH IS THE BROOKLYN BANKS IN? and hes like MANHATTAN YO and they were like tight and they gave himt he inside scoop (fucking snitches)...anyway he was like yeah my bro used to skate yo to mariska hargitay. not even a spot.

The UCI rails are in one of the Ghost Busters movies.

I have seen two movies that were period pieces (set before people were grinding ledges) and in the background you could see a waxed ledge. Directors were blowing it! Can't remember which movies those were in... So this comment is sorta pointless.

You didn't know? Those patriots were gettin their back tails on

As per the original post, Paddy's Pub isn't in Philadelphia. It's in Los Angeles, which is where they film the show. They go out to Philadelphia a few times per season to shoot exterior shots and anything that requires them to be in a recognizable setting (Love, City Hall, Italian Market, etc.) I freelance for various FX productions from time to time.

Bad angle but this set with the rails in the new Blade Runner distracted me.
Wonder if anything is skateable off-world

Atiba Applebum · « **Reply #84 on:** October 18, 2017, 06:44:52 PM »

there's a ledge spot in Bob's burgers where the older kids hang out that looks like it would be the town spot. like a curved three step ledge.

I don't remember anything particular from any movies, but what I do remember is wanting to skate the entire San Andreas map back in high school..

Paddys Pub. @ 4:52. Woulda bet my life there was a Gonz or Natas kickflip off the bump too, but I couldn't find it.

It kills me that I remember anything about this part.
