So I've seen a million Brooklyn Banks remakes, but none of the them have ever really captured the feeling of the banks. Living 5 minutes away from it gave me the opportunity to skate them enough to figure out how to remake them, down to the steepness of the banks. It's a bit smaller than the actually banks and is closed off from the street, but at any rate the idea is being able to skate the banks while their closed for construction.

The notorious Mike V. gap.

The little D.I.Y. Spot, located by the basketball courts tons of props to set up.

The final overview of the park.

Give it a ride and tell me what you think! I'm not a big remake fan but I really wanted to see one done that felt real so feedback is definitely appreciated.

Having been there multiple times, I gotta say it's my favorite remake yet. Looks and skates good, I just gotta wonder why you made the wallrides so short?

Since it closed I haven't been there so alot of this was built off of memory of the entire spot, I always remember the wallrides being around knee high. Am I wrong? All the years of smoking finally killed my memory.

Knee high on the other side maybe, the wallrides are prob around 7 feet tall.

Def the best one out there. I enjoyed it, it's a hard remake in terms of the feeling.

Thanks river :D And yeah even my remake isn't capturing the EXACT feeling of the banks, It's a bit longer and there's still another set of stairs that I had to delete thats not even by the main banks.

Looks like a pad made vertical, with a steep ramp merged into it + chain link at the top

I think he means the ones right at the bottom of the stairs, or the ones near the start at the first tunnel.

Wedge ledges at angles about 3 of em, and a chain link fence. Can I see the vid just for the sake of seeing my spot somewhere? XD

i started a new york themed park when psn went down based on spots in deathbowl to downtown and those barriers would be the perfect. thing to help block off the tunnel i got going on here..
