JENKEM - The Evolution of... Miami's MLK Ledges

[@joshbarth9469]

This series is dope. More.

[@WolfWould]

That switch flip was so perfect. Leveled but tweaky. 🔥

[@MrZakkyyy]

Best series, don't stop. I'll bet that spot is so crusty in real life

[@dessyyyh]

Jimmy Russels I’m from Miami and that spot is indeed as crusty as you are thinking. Still a lot of fun to skate though.

[@llamov]

Years ago i was down there and i passed it. It is indeed hood as fuck. And this is an awesome series

[@Jeramithehuman]

Not that bad. The brick double set angle ledge down the street is way more ghetto or the ledges in over town at the basketball court are crucial

[@Jeramithehuman]

Broke my collar bone there. Thanks KFC across the street for the free ice through the bullet proof glass one cup at a time

[@kevincollins8620]

Hahaha. Damn

[@Jeramithehuman]

Kevin Collins terrible 6 months from that

Thank you Jenkem. Keep doing what you do. Long time fan.

Jenkem doing heros work !

[@petersusia1]

Really like this series

[@dbm9455]

This spot will always remind me of Colt Cannons part in Circa It’s Time

[@kmrskates]

THANK YOU! I was hoping they would touch on Circa riders having clips there in It's Time

[@graftonholler6029]

wait til you see him look gay

[@TheNotoriousBIF]

Define irony… MLK Jr. was a man of peace, yet the streets and monuments that bear his name are ofter the grimiest and most dangerous parts of town.

[@spencert4840]

Chris rock said that in his stand up

[@patrickderp1044]

@Soon Forgot miami is almost all hispanic, the 2010 census showed that very spot they are skating is already changing over

[@josie5144]

@Jake wonder what the problem is hope its not something stupidly biased or racist or just plain wrong

[@yommish]

poverty breeds crime

[@timsix561]

One of my favorite spots growing up skating Miami for sure

[@timsix561]

Even though that ground was f**ked and the edges of the ledges were rough

[@papichai73]

@@timsix561 Thats with all the good ledge spots down here tbh tho... coconut grove metro ledges *Cough cough*

[@chfour83]

Yo my dude I remember this spot like it was yesterday skateboarding with you Brad Beck Ryan Kevin huff and Ray back in the day good times good stuff

[@hiddenvoice27]

Favorite series on Jenkem no doubt, love hearing about NYC spots of course but it's cool that you're expanding outward! Would be awesome to see an episode for Boston at some point, maybe eggs or AQ.

[@Jeramithehuman]

Could you do one of these pieces for all the famous spots in Miami like triangle park, ADP, ghetto school jungle stuff like that. I feel like it could be a 20+ video series. This is seriously the best skateboarding channel!!! Nothing better than learning the history of places. Kids now don’t realize back in the early 2000’s all we had was seeing these spots in thrasher or on VHS tape so you had to make a weekend just finding people skating and roll up to them and be like hey y’all know where Arto does all the crook and switch crooks on those wooden benches type stuff?? You would end up making friends that live all around the state and you could share spots with them.

[@UrbanLikwid]

Zered killing it and still in the game killing it!

That switch flip bro. He should be on every skaters mind with that thing.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

Damn I wanted to see that Adrian Lopez line from dying to live with that sick switch 360 flip

[@c0m4g1bb]

Crazycarls adventures at that spot? Off the plaque or... What?

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

No it was his opening line in the video

[@iamnotanumber100]

Love this series 🤘

[@TheSoundstereo]

KIRBY!!!!!!!

Kirby a OG

[@thegatorgar6730]

I.could.watch.these.all.day. And I have.

[@bryanbreezy]

Love this series

[@timszarek1793]

Dude just makes me reflect on all the spots in Manchester NH✌🏻

[@autentyk5735]

The Koston line is still one of the best ones ever. Right up there with his 101 line appreciated ages ago by Greco.

[@Yungbeck]

I love skate lore like this!!!

[@Beltway]

kirby rules

[@robleymcdonnell]

You could do 10 minutes of sketchy stories from that yellow banked out ledge in the hood

[@Jeramithehuman]

Yes bro I have a good story of that place. We were skating it and noticed this black dude selling something and kept going to this little black pouch behind the run up. So it started to rain and the guy jumped in the back of a truck and left. I saw where he was burying the pouch with money every time he made a sale. Started the car then ran over and uncovered the pouch, we all thought there was money in it... boy were we wrong. It was filled with 80 bags of crack and 20 bags of white and 20 bags of brown powder. Needless to say we didn’t go back there for at least 6 months. Have found bullet casings and needles there every time we’ve gone lol. They should do a bunch more of these videos all spots off of mlk road like ghetto school and stuff

[@shanebreezy4453]

@@Jeramithehuman please tell me you atleast took it all.. lol thats a big comeup

[@Jeramithehuman]

Shane Breezy of course. I wasn’t gonna bring it back. Mind you I’m like 18 at the time and 31 now. Ended up selling the whole thing to a another black guy couple weeks later

[@PotatoPlop]

Rog at 3:38

[@kmrskates]

Solid find!! He's in everyone's clips. Hahzh

Hahahah*

[@AlexWitkowski]

this series is awesome, quality shit jenkem

[@willpower322]

Billy Rohan with the sick frontside flip

[@rew-vmDOTcom]

I’m surprised y’all did MLK and not Allapattah station. Most of Miami Dade’s train stations got fire spots

[@timsix561]

Or Civic center

[@Jeramithehuman]

Or earlington heights. I think that’s how it’s spelled? lol the civic center is dope tho. The line Kerry Getz does in photosynthesis I did that same line

[@jeremylamovsky942]

I remember being in Miami years ago and driving past this spot and going "wait that's that spot...fuck it's HOOD right here..." haha, harold inspired ripped off sleeves and wrist bands

[@zblackburnnn352]

PLEASE KEEP MAKING THESE.

[@fatalcapsaicin5157]

Cool series

[@HARDL3FT]

I remember a Zoo York ad where Forrest did a varial heel flip on the gap. Surprised it wasn't mentioned.

[@derekperc]

I remember Wenning had those 2 tricks (2:38) in his DC part then FORE did the same 2 tricks on the same ledge switch in his next part.

[@LurkMe]

I vaguely remember skating here. Another good ledge spot is at that basketball court over the bridge in... overtown. Another place to bounce the fuck out of when it turns dark

[@SE-ZESS]

So much harder to skate than it looked. Meinholz, Andre, and Abe Bethel skated there first. It’s a TOUGH corner. Locals were usually chill.

[@chadskates6175]

Such a good series. You guys should do one on the oside hubba!

[@prstoxbeats4734]

Harold Hunter!!!!!!💯 rip

[@TonyNguyenFR]

Good shit Jenkem.

Thin like the 4 block Arto FS flipped and switch FS flipped in Sorry....plus the wall on the left side. Classic spot though

[@Jeramithehuman]

[@Hardbody94]

[@daze3o5]

I watched someone pulling a knife at one of my homies there one time because we were being loud while he was like sleeping/laying on one of the ledges and my homie skated by him and like put a knife to his face so he like bolted back to metro lol and another time their was a kid that faceplanted on his bike from trying to ride off the ledge lol I'm pretty sure Forrest and Brian wenning were there when that happened and acouple others lol and someone took there shirt off there back to stop him from bleeding...kid like knocked his two front teeth out.. it was crazy lol then like 3 big ass dudes were running across the street and we thought we were gonna get fucked up thinking we were like robbing some kids are some shit but it was his son and he was with his buddies..he like thanked us and tried to give the shirt back but they told him to keep it and take him to the hospital his friends grabbed his bike and the father picked him up carried him off...
