Dan Drehobl #27.



Bank King.

It was recently announced that the Kearny Street Pedestrian Bridge in San Francisco, better known as the China Banks, is slated for demolition. It was built in 1971 and numerous skateboard tricks have been documented on it over the decades. I've never visited the spot, but from the assorted anecdotes and photos, it has to be a completely difficult monster to skate. The banks don't have much bank to them and it is all brick so anything landed is worthy of celebration. I imagine you would get used to it after enough trips there, but it is probably not a fun learning process.
