The ABC's

Built in 2000, P.S. 06 on Staten Island is home to one of the five boroughs best spots, the ABC Ledges.When we first started skating it, we had the whole place to ourselves. After a couple of years it became a top spot and skaters were coming from far distances to hit this place up.We even got to session with some pro's down there from time to time because it became a favourite spot for the Zoo Team & Brian Wenning loved hitting those ledges on sundays.Staten Island was home to some great spots like Tottenville High School, McDonald land park, Blessed Sacrament, Chem Bank & Tysens Park but the ABC Ledge's put Staten Island on the map!

Who will be the king of Queens?
