Downtown Manhattan Pics

If you roll in Manhattan you know that the downtown area has a lot of spots that are great for skating at any time during the day. One of the spots that is most popular, due to it's revival early in the year, are the marble ledges on Wall Street and Water Street. The ledges were skate blocked for a long time but the New York rollers could not resist this almost perfect spot. The ledges are usually skateable at anytime during the weekend. During the week though, we suggest skating this spot after 6pm. Below are some pictures of the ledges provided by Chris Cofer of Evotek Media Group. Thanks Chris.

"started this little project on T-day for my fam to see what i've been up to. After pulling teeth to find these clips its clear that i haven't been doing much skating, or much filming but here's a tad bit of me ranging from 2006-2008."

Ado produced a great edit making a lot of great changes from when he first showed me it. He also labeled each spot he's skating in the video so everyone can go and skate the same spots. This idea is something that I Roll NY would like to expand on. If you have any edits you'd like to see put up here send us a message via myspace. Check out his true miszou at Colombus Circle and his royale transfer at Union Square and give him major props because I believe he's the only one so far to have done both. He also does a sick a fishbrain at Monkey Ledges and yours Truly filmed his 540 gap.
