skating new york city is hard. not because we choose for it to be, it just is. the weather fucks everything up and we have to deal with it.
But i definitely agree that new york city can get very trendy and played out, but its seriously hard to skate spots in the city over just cruising around and skating random, crusty, "cellar-doors" and such because getting from spot to spot is a fucking trek, and security is usually extremely tight at spots that are really nice, i.e. plazas.
