I walked past Brooklyn Banks one night, not realizing it was a famous skating spot until the next day when ESPN posted an article about how it could be closing for 4-5years due to construction work on the Brooklyn Bridge. Ever since then I’ve been really interested even though I haven’t skated since middle school.

Today Tony Hawk posted this video above on his twitter of Mike Vallely talking about Brooklyn Banks. Enjoy!
