skate journal: Brooklyn banks and granite ledge curb spot (sept 14, 2025)

On a warm Sunday I took the subway to Brooklyn banks.  I arrived to a crew having a session.  They were all nice, but I didn’t want to immediately jump in the mix with them.   So I skated to shortest part of it.   I did a couple of ollies but then could not kickflip to save my life.  Never got it.  I went to do the Wallride spot but I kept slipping out.   I got frustrated and left.   

Played skate tourist for a bit and looked at courthouse and Blubba.

Then went to a granite ledge and had fun there.  Did some noseslides on the tall part, some crooks too.  Also 50s each way on the curb.   Cool spot.
