  • For over 25 years, Pier 7 has been at the center of technical skating. It’s not just where you are, but who you’re with, and how you roll. That code of conduct was forged in the 90’s along San Francisco's waterfront.

      ​@@JonasPolskyagreed. Also should fly him to "le dome, palais de Tokyo". Very different style of architecture to a lot of street spots and had people from all over the world go insane there

    I moved to SF from Israel in 1996 and spent hours each day watching the pros and then coming back to skate it at night when no one was there.
    I was so afraid to skate while they were doing epic things, I could only dream about…
    Loved those days, and to see the pros and how they grew into the legends they are today after more than 20 years is really cool

  • @ReezyResells

    I remember the Embarcadero was super sketchy and we got chased out by undercover cops. But right across the street at Pier 7 we skated their til 2am. Everything their was bigger and you walked onto that landmark with the upmost respect for the territory and anyone who was better than you. We patiently sat and watch for a while because we all knew we were foreigners and had to show respect. Once we met a few guys and caught our bearings we started skating Peir 7. It really took your breath away skating those ledges especially with everyone watching. You didnt want to look like a poser. Everyone there was from another state and country. We met dudes from Europe and South America. I remember seeing Salma Agah skate by. He didnt stop he just continued skating down the street. Found memories of that spot.

    This series is really great for people who probably won’t ever skate these spots, like me, but want to know about them because we’ve seen them so many times. It makes me feel like I’m there.

    I'm happy to be a part of this era and it will never be forgotten being from San Jose came across Gershon Mosely in a couple of late night street sessions and remember how dope he was and actually still is. SF will always have that "wow" factor, shot out to all my fellow boarders who threw down some crazy shit!!!

    I remember pulling up to SF with my family on a Norcal trip, ready to rip Pier 7 in front of my family in 2004, only to show up to it being completely skate-stopped. I couldn't believe the most legendary spot(in my head) was skate-stopped and over with.

    Used to go to a warehouse that was converted to a few rooms and a party spot. It had a huge half pipe in the middle. Kinda hard to skate. Drop in was nuts. Bands played there. I guess it was across the street from the original Thrasher Mag. A friend of a friend was living in there welding cool shit. Cool spot. Always linked to Thrasher to me. Cheers

    I just want to say thank you for knowing the difference between a half cab and a nollie 180. There's a new trend out there where kids are calling a nollie 180 a nollie halfcab. And, they are calling a pop shove-it a shove-it. A shove-it is when your back wheels come off the ground first and you rotate on the front truck. If you ollie first then it's pop shove-it. I've been skating since 1984.

    Growing up me and my brother would visit fam in SF every other summer but I knew I could never live there 'cause I was nowhere nearly cool enough to live in SF what with all the pro skaters there. In a way kinda glad i stayed on the east coast where you can get most spots to yourself if you go early enough and i can suck in silence
