Pyramid Ledge is maybe knobbed again, but if you gap out, you're good. If not, you're in the middle of the Financial District there, and there are going to literally be hundreds of spots within a 15 minute push. Hit the Quartersnacks spot map.

Hell yeah thanks 🫡

Gonna be visiting in Oct. Staying near the Pyramid Ledge. Does anyone know the bust factor/nob situation? Also any other spots in that area?

Thanks

it was knobbed last time i went there about 2 months ago. it just has one knob right in the middle of the ledge, so as the poster above me mentioned, you could gap out but that's easier said than done. there are other ledges there that can be skated that aren't knobbed currently i think, but they're not out ledges like the main ones everyone skates. bust factor is relatively high i think but marginally better on weekends.

you're just a couple blocks from Seaport there though which has some of the nicest ledges in the city. lots of pedestrian traffic but still really fun. not far from tons of other stuff too but a lot of the stuff at office buildings in that area is a bust during the week, just fyi.

Any tips on rain spots?  Was planning on coming up to NYC on Sunday/Monday but it's looking 50/50.  Staying near Central Park but was planning on skating Brooklyn/UWS park/LES.  Does that K Bridge spot stay dry?  Weather forecast keeps changing.

Gonna be in town next weekend, looks like maybe a chance of rain. Does the Spot under K bridge stay dry?
