Old city hall in Philly for favorite of all time

Roanoke, TX skatepark right now and as a kid it was Deerfield, IL park.
Benches at River Trails Park District in Mount Prospect, IL was our spot in the late 90s.  The manager would just walk by saying hey to us.  He would only bother us if someone complained and even then, he would just not care about it.

Several schools in San Diego used to have bike racks you could flip over that would result in two thin and scary but fun flat bars. I forget the school but at one point there was a bike rack, a picnic table and an old lamppost all in a row. Lil B and Smolik showed up that day. Was fun. Seventh St school in San Pedro was also super fun.

I used to live at the bottom of a hill on either side that wrapped around and down sort of like a doughnut.

This thread gave me a flashback to how I'd fly down one side... pick up substantial speed but never ate it.

Other than that I usually skate parking lots after hours. Anything will do and there was one in particular I'd go to now and then growing up. It had some little banks and a wide yellow ledge I learned how to boardslide on.

Union square with the green benches. Also brown marble. Webb park was fun as well.

I always preferred City Hall to Love. The benches were shorter and I liked the stairs.

Also preferred X-Games park to Black Diamond. That mini was the shit.


I guess I'd have to call FDR my favorite spot of all time just because I spent so much time there but I've kind of been over it for the last 8 years and barely go there now.

Same, I always liked the curved ledges and the weird slanty thing over them. Plus all the weird angled things, gaps and stairs there.

I keep on meaning to get out to FDR but just never do it

Locally it's this car parking building me and some friends skate, on the top floor there's a manny pad, super smooth concrete, and we have two flat bars and a bench with square meta edges stashed that we pull out when we're up there. It's always empty after 6.30pm and we can skate in private and drink / smoke with a Bluetooth speaker until 1am, noone bothers us. The cleaner just says hi, he knows we always clean up after ourselves so it's chill. I've learnt so many tricks up there. Perfect TF.

Internationally, Stalin Plaza is the best spot I've had the chance to skate.

Favourite one. Plus I've played skate against Pat Duffy here.


Most hectic one, but a lot of fun.

Yooo STHLM

Rålis is indeed hectic, shit’s a fuckin gauntlet.

Humlegården is the spot though

they all look equally fun

Newcastle post office, Newcastle NSW.
The steps have my favourite grind sound and feel of all time.
I've been skating there on and off for more than 20 years.

There was a spot under the viaduct (rip) in Seattle just at the bottom of the stairs that lead to to pike place market. It was a perfect bump that always had a different object in front of it ( boulders, tv's, construction signs) we'd skate  the bump and that led to your choice of either a mellow 4 stair, a pop and drop over a planter or this stair set that started as a two stair and turned gradually into a six. It was covered so it was our go to rainy day spot. Never got kicked out once.

Probably this :

Hell yeah! that place is unbeleivably fun

Costcos in SoCal all have butter smooth asphalt and freshly painted curbs. They're all good.

Wallenberg holds a very special place in my heart and I still take every opportunity I can to skate there.

Wallenberg is great...I almost prefer the upper part. Skating the lower part just makes me feel weak since I have only skated it as curb/ledges. And now that I'm old, any trip I make down there won't involve the stairs, either. Still a great spot with huge variety, and not too far from Crack Corner, either.
