For fuck's sake, if he wants to find those particular benches, that's his business. I've tracked down a bunch of spots from videos with the help of the dudes here.

Of course there's always an asshole who has to be unhelpful - congrats, it's you this time!

(sorry - no clue on the bench spot's location...)

Sounds kinda obvious, but try sending a PM to the crailtap youtube channel. I've found a couple of different spots by just e-mailing pros or team managers and straight up asking them.

aah sweet what did i win?

the reason i was unhelpfull was that its just regular flatground benches. if they were different from every other ledge in anyway, i may have been usefull. but im not gonna try and help someone find the location of...some benches that are on the ground in a school, gosh those must be hard to find.

^the only reasonable explanation to not want to share/help in finding a spot is if it's "your" spot that you don't want to be blown out, or possibly out of respect to people that go there and skate it.

Seeing spots in videos clearly makes a spot more attractive, even if it is just another bench or picnic table. It's part of skating brochacho, skateboarding tourism; we relate to what we see. I don't think anyone would say, "why did you want to go to the brooklyn banks? there's banks at every park that are way better and smoother and easier to skate." not comparing the "iconic-ness" of the banks to this school, but those benches actually are pretty damn smooth.

And yes, the spot is in Oxnard. fact. I forget the name of the school though.
