i was just skating the DC area a few weeks ago when i was down there for some trial competition bullshit/interviews.  I got two solid days of skating in and here are some notes

the Bridge spot near navy is really fun and really easy to get to. there are also these really cool Dr. Seuss looking benches near a what looks like a roller hockey rink a few blocks over.    The locals there are wicked nice and will take you around no questions asked
The Maloof Park was a blast but kind of a pain in the ass to get to.  However if you get the chance its pretty cool to skate and everything on it was flawless. 

street skating is good but keep your head on a swivel.  the archives/freedom plaza area was really cool but my favorite spot was this random ass manny pad that was a little further down (away from freedom place) past archives.   Also near the 1st district court of appeals (judicary square train stop)  are these amazing curved benches that skate like ice with a sick ass hill as a runway... the closest land mark on google maps is   "Washington DC Human Rightsmore info‎ 441 4th St NW # 570N Washington, DC 20001"

i dont know where that spot at 212 but DC  is filthy with spots.  hope i could help enjoy your trip!!!

Japanese memorial is a granite ledge going down a hill on your left side. Supe fun, and not a bust as far as I am aware. The wave benches are along the water near the Nationals stadium. They are really hard to skate so I wouldn't make an effort to skate them but if you find yourself in the area they are worth checking out. There are tons of spots you can just stumble across between Pulaski and the capitol just keep your eyes out for cops of all sorts.

not sure about the gilbert crockett spot, but the spot in the video you posted is called John Deere (its at one of their warehouses) and its in Frederick MD. I dunno the exact address but you can probably find it if you just search it...I think its the only one around there

Downtown is awesome and all but if you go further up into northwest there are a lot of cool spots and the bust factor is generally lower. Columbia heights has a lot of cool stuff within like 4 blocks of the metro station. There is a sick ledge gap spot at 14th and Oak NW I think it is? If you just skate around you'll find stuff. Also, there are some natural brick quarterpipes in georgetown  that have popped up in a lot of videos. If you're into skating tranny, there's a pretty rad but kinda janky unmonitored bowl in this park off 20th and Rhode Island NE.

The rounded curbs/small banks are outside the U St metro station at the African American Civil War Memorial.

The fountain with all the different levels is in Meridian Hill Park (formerly known as Malcolm X park so that's what people call it)

The fountain you can do slide/popovers in is at Freedom/Pulaski.

The circle manual pad and the benches are somewhere in Baltimore but I'm not sure where.



Also, feel free to message me when you're gonna be in DC. I can't guarantee I'll be free but I might be able to hit up a spot or two with you.

[FilmJerz]

I think your thinking of a different spot for the slide popovers.  The one I'm talking bout is like a fountain with like a rounded edge people do like noseslide popovers and Ollie in trick out I think I've seen

Ight maybe ill message you thanks man

Does anyone know where them wallie benches are or the circle manual pads into brick bank  supposely both in Baltimore.  

Also does anyone know where that manny spot is its like different elevations like colored green looks like middle of projects. Prob Maryland or Baltimore ? Jimmy McDonald skated it.

Also does anyone know where this hubba with kink on it is.  I heard its in dc. Not sure where though.

There are two fountains like that that. They are actually shown back to back at 0:57 here:

The first one is Freedom/Pulaski. Not totally sure where the second one is.

[FilmJerz]

Yea the 2nd one is the one I'm trying to find

[Lumpy Oatmeal]

if you wanna feel like a real skate tourist, skate from freedom to the capital and see how many "famous" spots you can find

[FilmJerz]

skated alot of the famous ones, trying to finda couple certain ones that look fun!

[Jive Turkey]

A friend of mine is going to DC from Japan in August or September.

I told him to hit up Pulaski but don't know anything about DC other than that.
Anyone here know of any legit shops or spots to run into locals?

Any help would be appreciated.

palace 5ive is a decent shop, i got a set of spitfire classics 51 and spitfire cheapshots there last month. they had a good selection of decks and indy trucks and there were a lot of skaters around the area they said there was a skatepark nearby

[Jive Turkey]

Cool. Thanks man!
That should do it. He probably better going there first and asking rather than me trying to put some shit together.

The closest skatepark is Shaw Park, pretty chill metal pre fab stuff like banks, quarter and a barrier and i think a mini with a spine.... its maybe 5/6 slightly long skateable blocks over give or take i forgot exactly where it was though dont wanna give you wrong directions....also connected to that park is that 5 block spot that Bobby Worrest Sw Tre's in his transworld part.
