Far and away, this is the best set-up for a double-set that youíll find downtown when you take into account your actual chances of skating. The best part about this spot is that you shall not get kicked out. The runway is perfectly ample and smooth -- wholly devoid of cracks or rough patches of ground. It may be crowded with chinamen on warm days, but otherwise, there are no grievances you could have. The set itself is a four flat four, and the landing is a pretty smooth sidewalk.

You will not get kicked out of here, but it may be crowded on warmer days.
