Keeping it going. Part one is here and part two is here.

15. The Best Spot on Water Street is a Rock

The spot depicted above is the most frequently sessioned Water Street spot in 2014.

The gateway to acquiring skate footage in lower Manhattan held on for dear life until 2014, when a rock became its marquee tourist stop. Heading further south on this once heavily-treaded path will yield nothing more than knobbed remnants of a once thriving ledge-based ecosystem, those shitty round ledges across from the Veteran’s Memorial, and nary a dollar-menu for the broke boys in sight.

Late night update. Whatever, it’s Friday.

We here on QS, like much of civilized America, love to give Florida a hard time (which it most definitely deserves.) To distract ourselves from the peninsula’s many shortcomings, we oftentimes choose to remember that it has produced a large amount of absurdly talented skateboarders.

In honor of Brad Cromer finally turning pro last month, we re-edited his Lo-Fi part from early 2012. The original part was a bit on the mellower side (edit-wise), so we tried to fit as much footage as possible into three minutes, sans slow motion and all of that. Guest trick from Brendan Carroll. Brad and Jake Johnson seem tied for the best-looking Lenox Ledges line. It’s not just a little kid spot!

Congrats to Brad. Alternate Youtube link here. Have a good weekend.
