AVE green bench saga (quartersnacks)

[FuzzGNU]

"we would chain all that shit together because it would get stolen, or somebody would do something better than you did."

Taking a bench, then claiming it as your own, bringing it spots, for only you to skate it, is wack.

I can imagine Mullen talking 5 hours nonstop about the manny pad at his local Walmart.

Haha - about time.
To be honest I was trying to build a replica for
my local skatehall/dojo - but it was kind of pricy to bend the square profiles and if you do it in the OG size it’s pretty heavy and not handy enough to move around in our place.

This is amazing.

There's two of these benches right? Do people know where the second bench is?

[Cuban_Lynx]

Oh shit! This could turn into AVE’s Boom Boom Huck Jam

Oh nice! Glad it hasn't been lost. Is it somewhere pubic or is someone in private possession of it at the moment?

There’s 4.  And then they are brought together to form a perfect circle, a stargate opens

Then and only then will we know that the United States has truly healed. It would honestly be a really cool community moment if all 4 were reunited and someone grinded all four in a single grind.

Oh wow though, I had no idea there were 4. Any info on the other two?

There's also the recreation AVE had commissioned. So that's 4 + an imposter bench? Or is the recreation included in that count?

[Atiba Applebum]

I don’t know if there’s 4.   You just need 4 to make a circle

[Nosferatu]

Probably need at least 8 to make a circle. Someone post an arc measurement.

There’s three: two OG and one replica.

First bench (as seen in The DC Video) is lost. It went from Santa Ana, to that LA spot from DC Vid, to Tosh Townend’s boys, to some dude’s garage for 15 years, to AVE for some of the footage in ‘Dancing On Thin Ice’ (everything sans the switch back noseblunt, I believe) until it was taken away by maintenance in the carpark he was skating it.

Second bench (the FA/Thin Ice/Noseblunt bench) went from Santa Ana, then it wound up in Tony Tave’s parents backyard, went to AVE for the sw noseblunt, to Tompkins for the opening of the FA and then got jacked and taken to Philly.

Third bench is the replica and that’s the one at the skatepark in HB.
