Nollie tre could be a bloodbath considering the speed you’d need but I think one or two might be able to be hail marry’d over it with the perfect pop. Even a nollie would be fucked, that bump is tiny.

I just hit the spot to take some additional photos and measurements. Long story short, it's a 6 foot gap to clear the hydrant and it's not a flat gap, you need to pop it, so you're traveling at LEAST 8-9 feet. The street only really drops >1 foot to the hydrant, so it's at least 18-24" in height from the take off. I'm sure someone smarter than me can do the math. The actual "kicker" is just under 6' and as mentioned previously, the Bondo is in rough shape imo. the landing is 5' wide and has a pretty significant asphalted crack, so it's not level at all. Hydrant is about 29" tall measured from the higher side of the street. I was flying solo so photos and measurements aren't as precise as they could be, but should give everyone a good idea of what we're dealing with.

AKA everyone can save their money, no chance it's going down

Edit: also worth mentioning, by the time you’re past the hydrant and bombing the hill, you can’t see over the intersection for oncoming traffic, so you better be looking over your shoulder before dropping into the street. The traffic is constant and it moves fast













thanks for the photos I love you

Jesus Christ that is gnarly. But so am i when I wanna be so fuck it

I am willing to give a couple bucks for flight tickets additional to my offer if someone sets up a Gofundme. What is the average cost of some plane tickets if you fly inside the u.s?

Without revealing location, we’re looking at around $500 to get him to the hydrant

Amazing recon of the spot BartHarleyJarvis. Measurements and extra photos really puts it into perspective. Looks pretty hectic and hard to skate, probably why only a handful of tricks went down there. Props to Versace for not backing down, yet. Hope you get out there and land it or at least give it some goes. Try and hit other famous LA spots. Would be great if someone documented this or made an edit of it.

Wow those photos really show how gnarly that spot is.

Switch 360 flip is so crazy if landed.

I really want to see a nollie over it now. Ryan Lay perhaps?

nah, it'd be worse. he'd be from the other side of the street, behind it, filming long lens, and zoomed in on a teenage boy's bare chest.

$20 on any shuv, flip or nollie trick. That spot is way harder than it looks.

When I saw the photo that shows the hill of the angle, I said "what the fuck?" out loud while by myself. Jeez that spot's insane.

This is on the road to classic slap if this dude makes any documented attempts. Could be the greatest $600 dollars ever made, or the biggest internet fueled bunt of all time.

I'm here for it, put me down for 100sek, has to be paypal.
