This Old Ledge: Pier 7
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 08. 2023
- 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.

This is my favorite Thrasher series in recent years.
Same bro
I back this 💯
This and my war
Yup, this a good one
The bee's knees 👍🏼👍🏼
This series shows how important skating is, the informed and interesting studies it creates
I dont want this series to ever end, keep these coming 🙏
if they fly this dude to the Brooklyn Banks, I'mma fuckin' LOSE IT! 🤯
@@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
+1
keep this series as long as possible. Skate history, architecture, urban planning, city history all roll into one, luv it.
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.
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.
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.
Ever go to mikerphone?
Another beautiful episode for the culture and history of skateboarding.
Thank you, Ted and Thrasher Magazine.
Marc Johnson’s 360flip manual 360 flip out at the pier is one of my all time favorite tricks
It always feels like...somebody's watching me!!!
That blew our teenage minds when we first saw that - unbelievably technical
Wow. This might have been the best episode in the series. Well done.
love these. they’re like a mix between pbs and thrasher
couldn't have said it better myself!
Never thought I'd see skateboarding explained in such an elegant way. keep these coming
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.
Marcus is criminally underrated
Pier 7 is one of the most legendary spots in skateboarding history. The Marcus McBride edit is underrated.
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
For anyone wondering the jazz that’s playing in the background is “When I’m Gone” by Rupert Van Der Hoek
youre a god among men
i need a 10h video of ted passionately talking about skateboarding and architecture history
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
This series is very well put together, I hope you guys can continue to create content like this.
This series goes so hard. Thank you for making it. Take this guy around the world and cover all the historic spots!!
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.
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.
Skated here for the first time in my life two months ago. Got some wheelies proper. Such an iconic ledge. Well, all of them.
had the pleasure of hitting this spot when i visited SF.. actually super hard to skate. the energy there was unreal as well tbh
Cant wait to see you take this series to the east coast!
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.
I love passing by Pier 7 and seeing skaters killin it. Brings so much joy.
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.
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!
Biggest spot of my childhood. Always makes me feel good about life watching skating at pier 7.
Growing up in SF skating these spots from the 1980s and beyond I love this series, it takes me back to my childhood and makes me want to hit some slappies and a ledge or 2 thanks guys.
This is easily the best series
Best show lately,keep them doing!!
Elias Binghams switch fs blunt shove-it up the ledge has always been one of my favorites
Skate culture touches on so many topics,a big web, the history is so rich
More of these! I still get excited when I see Pier 7 regularly
thank your for emphasizing lavar and marcus impact on this spot
Keep ‘em coming Ted!!!
Another banger episode. Hope these can go on for a very long time.
This series is so good for teaching the history to all the newer generations
Absolutely loved this series
A truly legendary skate spot! Ted did this spot justice with his choice words 🤙
My favorite trick at Pier 7 was Lavar McBride's backside flip over the block, by the road. I actually won a little gold-plated Pier 7 pendent from Spencer Fujimoto for choosing that trick as my favorite trick at Pier 7. He liked that I went with sort of a "deep cut" , as it's not even a trick done on the main ledge/manny pads or a grind. Much respect and appreciation to the OG El Senor himself, Spencer! 🤙🤙 I'll keep that pendent for all my days 🙏
Sure, a lot of tricks were done over the pads by the two set, amazing stuff, but doing those same tricks over the block by the road? That requires some Tyshawn level pop and board control.
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.
Skateboarders with PhD's will always make for interesting folks.
C'est encore une fois excellent! Merci Ted! History, architecture, urban planning and of course skateboarding! Wow! please Thrasher continu this series!
I want more of this. Beautiful series
Best series!
This series really is incredible.
Love these. Keep killing it Ted
Growing up in the late 90s -2000s these spots were my skatepark every single weekend
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
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
An iconic spot that's seen a ton of solid action over the years.. 👍👍
Please keep this series going
Best series :)
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!!!
Another great episode in this series. Well done Ted!
U guys better never stop making these series 🎉
Thrasher with the free history lessons. Thx
Such a good series. Please keep the episodes coming
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..

Another awesome addition to the series
Best series ever !!!!! More Ted!!
By far the best series
Love this series
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.
Loving this series
This series is so well done. Perfect in every way.
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.
Amazing on every level! Thank you Ted and thank you to everyone involved!
This is the best series from Thrasher in a while man I LOVE these videos. Maybe one on the Blubba?
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.
Keep em coming!!
We need so many more of these. I love Ted
Great series!
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.
Best series on the internet and dudes words are so inspiring and unique I love it.
Love these, Ted you're the man.
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 🤙♥️💐
These are really good. Keep 'em coming.
This series is so good! The skate nerd in me loves hearing all the history behind these spots
These are so damn good! Best thing out from Thrasher!
I could watch these all day.
I was waiting and hoping for Peir 7 to come up! So rad
