@@chromebomb he's not a "normie" he's a psychopath because he doesn't understand the basic concept of history, culture, and sentimental.

He said he wants 'as many as he can carry' then turns up on a bike without a backpack and takes 3....?

[@runningtimelabs]

haha!Yeah indeed...Seems like he was more into looking cool than focusing on bricks lifting.

[@alfredonski]

im walking in there with a duffel bag

[@Lionel_tig3r]

Think they were just tweaked. Shoulda absolutely just made a fat little pile in that corner and then come back for em.

[@myousickoflife]

When he lifts them up and says "thats three, thats HEAVY" lol what the fuck bro?

[@team419]

you guys should go watch nathan barley for an insight as to why they do this

[@Ricksonsaito8]

I would take this Brick over the Supreme brick any day

You just compared a joke to skateboarding history. WTF.

Damn it was always my dream to skate that spot :/

Me too that was always my favorite spot, even though I never skated it 😔

Used to take the train from Jersey and spend the day skating the Banks probably in 1996/97’. There was an energy there in the 90’s. Def some of my best skating memories. It was like leaving reality and entering the Banks for the day. It was like it’s own society in there.

[@JEdwards713]

You only took 4 and didn't bring a bag or duffle lol? Yall coulda hit a fat lick on em!

that was probably 20-30lbs and he had to tap out

[@Smoothjazzsundays]

Jenkem is putting out the best skate content out of anyone. Respect.

[@ivantwopairs1766]

I hope Mike V's got the chunk of fence he knocked off. Funny thing about this spot is that the banks aren't that good or fun to skate. But as the only available bust-free spot with banks in NYC it became the center of the NYC scene. It also made skaters better because they really had to learn to pop & boost. And they look great in photo. If these were in AZ, ABQ, or Las Vegas no one would go there.

[@ChrisHufnagel_Polymath]

Hah, thanks for sending Keith a brick. We were bummed about the banks getting shut down. So many good memories.

[@BolBoy123]

For the bridge to be supported, hopefully the bank might be rebuilt as it was, except this time using 'crete. The eerie train sounds when they get close, made it seem haunted !

[@johnnyc.3261]

Bro, this video was so dope. Sick to hear a bit from the legends at the end. I do think Koston should have gotten one.

[@ukariah]

all these legendary spots are dying before i can see them in person

[@dhvmpyr]

Only pain in this life :(

[@leredditcommander8208]

Im going from mexico next week, gonna find probably nothing, what the F is the city of NY doing, destroying historical places.

[@StereoSoundAgent]

I have childhood memories of taking the trains here before I could drive and skating the banks. This is bittersweet to watch! Thanks Jenkem

[@donovanimg]

RIP kieth hufnagel im glad y’all were able to get this to him before he passed

[@Mrtravislowes2]

Why you no mention mike vallely?

[@VintageSlide]

Ya he killed that

[@basslandpdx]

This was dope! Thank you Jenkem

[@brocksamson9737]

Seeing the footage back than seemed so raw. Something about skating in the 90s to early 2000s is s something that can never be felt again. I can't explain it it's something you have to experience for yourself if you live throughout the course of it like I did for that time. Now and days skateboarding doesn't have that "feeling" no more. It's to commercialize trendy and being invaded by hypebeast and culture vultures which I think totally ruin the raw feel old school skateboarding. Yes I'll remove my boomer nostalgia goggles now.

[@godekvideos]

Shout out to king QUIM!

[@brendonmasters]

The lean on that 180 was beyond style holy moly

[@itsMrNoble]

My friend Kim was living in the US on a student year abroad and managed to get a brick from EMB before it got completely shut down to skating. He got it and mailed to a friend of ours back in London. I hope he still has it.

[@thisoneisonme]

Man every wheel sport has amazing clips from that place. RIP man. Wish I could have skated it once in it's heyday.

[@EastsideDonkey]

At least we have Session to keep the memories alive. The historical challenges are the best part about that game. Im learning about tricks that were done there that I had no idea happened.

[@311connoisseur]

Always been my favorite skate spot.

[@pedroberoes49]

So sad im not going to ever see this spot irl
