This Old Ledge: Pier 7

[@PlantNatives]

This is my favorite Thrasher series in recent years.

[@tencents_]

Same bro

[@mrblaze6982]

I back this 💯

[@thinglizzy2718]

This and my war

[@TheBlakus420]

Yup, this a good one

[@TheOneHundredPercent]

The bee's knees 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Lincolnlogsoff]

This series shows how important skating is, the informed and interesting studies it creates

[@dyl923gonz7]

keep this series as long as possible. Skate history, architecture, urban planning, city history all roll into one, luv it.

[@matthewwilson8897]

I dont want this series to ever end, keep these coming 🙏

[@JonasPolsky]

if they fly this dude to the Brooklyn Banks, I'mma fuckin' LOSE IT! 🤯

[@vancouverbill]

​@@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

[@ben_west]

+1

[@elkgrove444]

Hard to put into to words how much I enjoy this series. Every single episode is simply perfect. A big thank you to everyone who works on these. They're incredible.

[@Jake-sg1rt]

Ever go to mikerphone?

[@coverlovercomics2579]

Another beautiful episode for the culture and history of skateboarding. Thank you, Ted and Thrasher Magazine.

[@andygreatfield]

Wow. This might have been the best episode in the series. Well done.

[@s_m_north]

Incredible! Send Ted everywhere to provide artistic context to this era of skateboarding before it’s forgotten/lost. Really feel Ted is on an island with his ability to articulate all of this. This is important. Keep going.

[@caseysmith544]

Yes, that era before the city run parks that popped up in the 1990's from about 1995 and the time after the private run skateparks closed seems to be the biggest time for skating these areas. These skate areas that were not the old parks changed how a skatepark is done from the old private style that were mostly bowls due to people skating there friends Pools during years of water restriction or a broken pool at a house of a skater or had curves like a Surf wave due to people wanting to emulate the surfer in the early skateboard era starting for use as a bad surf day/off season surf in Californina.

[@JB-xk4kl]

Never thought I'd see skateboarding explained in such an elegant way. keep these coming

[@walkingwithsierra]

Some of the best memories of my life. The whole sf skate scene vibe back in 1998- 2002 was so amazing. Staying at satvas/Brennans, meeting up with my friend steve and kyle. Eating all the best food... i get warm fuzzy feelings when i reminisce.

[@Aurora11793]

had the pleasure of hitting this spot when i visited SF.. actually super hard to skate. the energy there was unreal as well tbh

[@zackmccurdy8144]

Skated here for the first time in my life two months ago. Got some wheelies proper. Such an iconic ledge. Well, all of them.

[@adamjbaby]

Marcus is criminally underrated

[@candyapu3]

For anyone wondering the jazz that’s playing in the background is “When I’m Gone” by Rupert Van Der Hoek

[@liammcooper]

youre a god among men

[@savagesavs13]

Cant wait to see you take this series to the east coast!

[@Beardy319]

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.

[@marty.warner]

love these. they’re like a mix between pbs and thrasher

[@adamtheis6662]

couldn't have said it better myself!

[@strictlybusiness1679]

Pier 7 is one of the most legendary spots in skateboarding history. The Marcus McBride edit is underrated.

[@vancouverbill]

Yeah the MMB stuff was too gnarly for to be able to appreciate when it came out. Watching it again can really see how ahead of it's time it was

[@menash23]

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

[@bengerrits183]

This series is very well put together, I hope you guys can continue to create content like this.

[@ReezyResells]

This series goes so hard. Thank you for making it. Take this guy around the world and cover all the historic spots!!

[@dtownboys15]

I can’t begin to describe how much I love this series. Learning the history of spots I grew up watching on film brings me endless joy! Well done Thrasher, well done.

[@petersusia1]

Marc Johnson’s 360flip manual 360 flip out at the pier is one of my all time favorite tricks

[@mattimaranda9638]

It always feels like...somebody's watching me!!!

[@mattd1659]

That blew our teenage minds when we first saw that - unbelievably technical

[@colebach4217]

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.

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

Elias Binghams switch fs blunt shove-it up the ledge has always been one of my favorites

[@cameronsk838]

LA & San Diego spots next! This series is incredible. We're looking at years worth of important, quality content here. I love learning about this!

[@NoahGower]

Coming from the other side of the country, I always loved seeing Pier 7 footage. It influenced my favorite type of skating in hopes that one day I could go there and just look at it, maybe even try a trick or two. Hopefully one day I can make it out there.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Best show lately,keep them doing!!

[@fr0gs]

i need a 10h video of ted passionately talking about skateboarding and architecture history

[@turdchurner4012]

This series is so good for teaching the history to all the newer generations

[@SakosTechSpot]

I love passing by Pier 7 and seeing skaters killin it. Brings so much joy.

[@non_brewed_condiment]

This is easily the best series

[@ryanrowe1975]

Absolutely loved this series

[@noahdyedotcom]

Biggest spot of my childhood. Always makes me feel good about life watching skating at pier 7.

[@kryptothesuperdawg8043]

Best series!

[@gabriellaforce2041]

C'est encore une fois excellent! Merci Ted! History, architecture, urban planning and of course skateboarding! Wow! please Thrasher continu this series!

[@aleshutsko]

I want more of this. Beautiful series

[@thomasrainbow]

These are incredible! I hope they make them longer!

[@jperkins3642]

Used to love going there on the weekends and see Marcus kill it. He was ALWAYS there. Saw Lavar, Karl, York, Henry, and a ton of other guys do ridiculous stuff as well. Oh, and Chef Pierre usually had new sets of Spitfires for $10.

[@JakeBorchenko]

Another banger episode. Hope these can go on for a very long time.

[@brrnay]

Great series. I'm from the midwest and went to sf in vacation probably like 20 years ago and got a nose manual in it.

[@donovanlopez5733]

More of these! I still get excited when I see Pier 7 regularly

[@jameshalldorsson9695]

This content is great, I love how it really demonstrates that Skaters can be rambunctious miscreants who are full of that rebellious spirit, but that doesn't mean that Skaters can't be intelligent, eloquent and educated. I love this Ted guy, his approach to the narrative of skateboarding is a lot like Mullen, very intricate and well researched, almost scientific. It makes me proud to have been a skater, when I watch videos like this that show us in a different light that the societal outcasts, we have our own society, culture and history and I just love everything about this historicity of skateboarding.

[@ChipSuey207]

Skateboarders with PhD's will always make for interesting folks.

[@brandon-starr]

thank your for emphasizing lavar and marcus impact on this spot

[@talon010]

Amazing series, love how frequent the uploads have been. Thank you all involved I'm Aussie and I went to Pier 7 back in February this year, JP Souza was there. It was a great experience

[@RedVelvetUnderground333]

Skate culture touches on so many topics,a big web, the history is so rich

[@zekepowers]

I haven’t even started this one yet but needed to just say thank you Thrasher Magazine for this series. These will go down as history books in our skate community for generations to come..

[@michaelkelly6154]

I love these.❤

[@pinkyspiderr]

Keep ‘em coming Ted!!!

[@leopoldstotch3524]

Best series ever !!!!! More Ted!!

[@DrewBehler]

Amazing on every level! Thank you Ted and thank you to everyone involved!

[@bensb4534]

Another awesome addition to the series

[@90sskateboarder27]

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!!!

[@yawg691]

This is the best series from Thrasher in a while man I LOVE these videos. Maybe one on the Blubba?

[@STAYBOMBINFLACKO]

Dam after they finish frisco I hope they go from city to city like philly , D.C.,Brooklyn ,LA etc … the skate community as a whole needs to know these landmarks that changed the history of skateboarding .. thank you thrasher❤ keeper comin Cuddy!💯 Rip Mac Dre

[@Christian0]

These make my lunch break a little bit better every Wednesday

[@zackmccurdy8144]

Henry fakie heel fakie manny is so legendary in my mind and heart. Last trick in the first part of one of my all time favorite videos. So awesome. Cali Agents represent. So rad 🤙♥️💐

[@QuesoDipp]

Absolutely love this series.

[@wolfsbloodny]

Love these. Keep killing it Ted

[@Naturalist1990]

We need so many more of these. I love Ted

[@DaltonBalkwill]

This series is so good! The skate nerd in me loves hearing all the history behind these spots

[@2namesmusic]

So fire & done perfectly down to the last detail. When are the nyc ones expected to drop? BTW a lot of these spots from season one could have a pt. 2

[@DeadHandX]

U guys better never stop making these series 🎉

[@Berkeee903]

Loving this series

[@nessie42786]

Thrasher with the free history lessons. Thx

[@GoofyFootersRule]

5:22 still my favorite clip of his part

[@jasonfeifer928]

Growing up in the late 90s -2000s these spots were my skatepark every single weekend

[@curtsteves4996]

I could watch this segment from thrasher all day after work.. oh wait.. I do!!! Keep this shit up!! It’s so fucking rad having the breakdown of these spots. And the encyclopedia of tricks this dude has… mad fucking props.

[@DJNONSTOPP]

Love these, Ted you're the man.

[@dadadebroglie]

I watched ryde or die till the tape popped and dreamed of skating pier 7. Great episode. Those brackets are psychotic.

[@Yungbeck]

May this show never end

[@mardel420]

this is my favorite skate content on the internet

[@samrollup]

Keep em coming!!

[@nateblock9945]

These are so damn good! Best thing out from Thrasher!

[@jeff3229]

Great series!

[@joedent3323]

These are brilliant. Thank You for all the Good Work. 😊 "LiL'JpD."

[@RogerAcosta.]

I love this, after the bay is wrapped up please do LA, NY, Philly, every major skate city please. That would be amazing.

[@Hartwell10]

Best series :)

[@mike_salinas]

Awesome documentary series, a "must be skate" spot so far !!

[@matthewjames206]

Another insightful episode. A truly great series 👍👍🍻

[@barryallen8088]

I moved to sf in 2K just to skate this spot. One of my best decisions.

[@caiosanjuanc]

These are really good. Keep 'em coming.

[@turtleboypurp]

such an epic series so far. Would be dope if he hits up other iconic spots outside of the bay. I know SD and LA alone probably have so many.
