love park

[seankane]

for all you other philly kids, have any of you or do you know of anyone that has jumped the love park fountain gap? i was walking past it today and realized that its definitely possible and someone needs to take an awesome picture of it. so if no one has done it, whos going to do it?

dan barret, where you at?

 

[Steezeman]

How often is it empty? And isn't it a really big bust?

 

[Jordan Jasa]

omfg, i would to whip that. my friend who skates philly alot tells me i should go wit him one day. but idk how that would go wit my parents =/

What they don't know won't hurt them

 

[dan barrett]

Yea I talked about it with my skater friends, it's empty in the winter so one night like 2am I think imma do it

Watch this Video It's good. And at 2:37 there's a good view of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuS_08CYmW0
And I've been there once and believe me it's fucking huge.

yeah, during the day there are park rangers there since its actually part of fairmount park, but its empty at night. i've never actually got busted riding love. one time cops stopped us at city hall, but that was it. and i dont think theyll turn the fountain back on until at late march/april, so theres plenty of time to do it.

if you ever try it call me up, ill definitely come check that out.


edit: everyone saying youll do any form of trick over it needs to man up and come out to philly and do it. ill gladly take pictures of you rolling up to it then stopping 50 times then not doing it. the thing is beastly, and ive seen very few people trick a gap that size.

i've never been there so its hard to judge, but the pictures i've seen id say there about the same, love might be a little bigger.

and yeah, plenty of space, speed isnt a problem.

your absolutely right. like im supposed to be going to trenton soon wit the same kid to ride a 13 set

yo when we going?? lol cuz i wanna go both places!!!

 

[Big L]

so how did they shut it down, put like fences around it, or just security? that thing is huge, looks like a pretty fun place to mess around in

 

[CodyChirichiello]

i will manual down all of the stairs.

 

[DavidMiles47]

that would be nuts if somebody did it

 

[me1]

From the video it looks like you might want some soft grippy metalcores to roll away. It would suck to slide on a landing that big.

 

[tanner markley]

ive whipped bigger than that not joking

 

[Dustin Nooner]

yea tanner has for real.

ive dub whipped a little bit shorter then tanners gap

we'll do it.
