Update - Summer 2007: A brick has fallen out of the main ledge/bank here, so itís basically 10x harder to skate since it has been replaced with a piece of wood to cover up a hole in the ledge.

Named after a truly unique legend of New York skateboarding, the Beljuhly banks bear the same uniqueness as the man they are named after. All throughout the plaza, there's a series of steep banks with benches in front of them, meaning that they require you clear the entire bank with a wallride or a grind on the top in order to avoid crashing into the plastic bench below. Towards the northern-most part of the plaza, is the standout obstacle, which is the brick banked ledge that is backside for regular footed skaters and frontside for goofy footed skaters. It can be wallied into, rode into, etc. given the fact that the entire lead-up to the edge of the bank is slanted. It's about four feet long and a foot-and-a-half high from the top. The edge usually requires a decent amount of wax before you can grind it.

This is usually a night spot, because the people from the building usually tell the guard to kick you out on their way up. Avoid the southern part of the plaza (where the security window is) to grant yourself the most time here.

64th Street in between Broadway and Central Park West. Take the 1 or 9 to 66th Street and skate south for two blocks, make a left on 64th and it is at the start of the block.
