amsterdam houses
upper west side
Given that this spot is in back of a couple housing projects, it would be wrong to assume that everything here is perfect. You'll find an over-sized six stair, equal to about an average six or seven set, with a short runway and horrible ground, so ensure that you look for pieces of plywood on your way over here to lay down for your landing. There's a handful of concrete blocks, that could be either skated as ledge-to-ledge gaps, manual pads, etc., but not as actual ledges provided that it's the type of concrete that's impossible to grind. In front of the actual building, there's a circle of rough concrete banks that you need to ollie up onto in order to skate, or you can bring a sheet of wood to lay down in order to avoid both the roughness and the ollie up to portion of it.

You're not going to get kicked out of here.

65th Street, below Amsterdam Avenue. Take the 1 or 9 to 66th Street, and skate west on 66th until you pass La Gaurdia High School. In the middle of the block, there's a small entrance behind the apartments that you could go through.
