I also never realized how much more to skate there was at Wallenberg. I only thought it was the big steps that could be skated as ledges. Ted's architectural/historical/art knowledge make the series. Otherwise, it'd just be somebody rambling about NBDs for a given spot. Fine, but lacking for any substantial meat.

Wallenberg benefits from still being there. So many other famous proving grounds are gone - Carlsbad, the Love Fountain, etc. The courthouse in NYC is probably the East Coast equivalent at this point.

Did they mention Steve Nesser's pop shove-it? I didn't remember. The Thrasher contests upped the number of tricks done so they didn't necessarily have to list every single move ever.

I think Nuge just straight ollied El Toro, not a backside 180.

Madison Square Garden, obviously. We've demolished and rebuilt too many of the classic stadiums over the years.

Spanky's part was good. Jamie Foy's part was solid. The music really helped it. That Plan B part was what you would expect from Plan B. The 90s hits are terrible.

I was stoked they included Tony Manfre's switch ollie in the look back at Wallenberg.
