These are some of the better banks that you can find uptown, even though they are incredibly hard to skate. All of the approaches to them are skewed in one way or another, and every bank except one lies on either a slope or the bank itself rests on a tilt. The surface itself is brick and smooth for the most part. The steepness varies depending on which side you get on.

The less people you show up with, the better off you are. A security guard from the building will kick you out as soon as he spots you, but that may take a while. Itís also advised to avoid going near the front window of the building, but thatís not too difficult granted that the banks are at the furthest part of the plaza from it.

95th Street and Columbus. Take the 1, 2 or 3 to 96th Street, and skate east on 96th until you hit Columbus Avenue. Then skate south for one block.
