P&G Tower Banks

This is a classic spot, seen in Neil Blenders part in the 1990 G&S Video.




The parking lot is slightly sloped, and these banks wrap around the corner of this wall, making it possible to cruise around it and get a decent amount of speed.  I got a close up of the bank to show that it is a little crusty, and pretty steep.  Doing anything on these is a pretty gnarly accomplishment.  As you can see, the wall has been wall ridden, which we weren't able to land, but is definitely possible if you get a lot of speed and manage the crustiness.

There are also some smooth concrete ledges and a gap, good for grinds and boardslides.

One thing to notice is the "No skateboarding" sign.  I've never seen a single car in this lot, but I've been asked to leave this spot every single time I go.  Generally, you get about 15-20 minutes till someone in the tower sees you on video, throws on a jacket, and moseys down to begrudgingly give you the canned speech "Hey guys this is private property and they don't want you to skate here."  You can tell they do it a lot, so I usually just get there, get as much in as possible, and respectfully leave when they ask.

This spot is close to the Upper Eggleston Banks.

LOCATION: Downtown, corner of Culvert and New Street, near the P&G Towers.
