Cooper Union brass have apparently had enough of
gleaming the coop... As
Quartersnacks point out, the bank has been skatestopped with spiked metal bars running across the entire surface. "Drunk people will still climb on it, but skateboarders will not."
Well,
balls.
And here is the review of the spot from
QuarterSnacks:
Spot: Clearly a display of “progressive” architecture,
this retarded appendage of the new Cooper Union building quickly turned into one of best skate spots in the area. The bank is an upwards triangle, fairly mellow, and made out of ridiculously smooth, polished concrete. It is narrow, and you will need to dip in and out of the corner when skating it, or simply pop a wallie over one of the many slanted pillars also extending from the building.
Bust — ♦♦♦♦♦ / Almost Immediate: Your time here typically will not last longer than five minutes, but forces greater than all of us have been known to intervene and grant sessions that last for up to a half hour. The spot is positioned right next to the front security desk, so odds are inevitably against you.
Oh, and white people with liberal arts degrees will often stop by and ask you why you’re destroying such a magnificent work of art.
How will the
Coop entertain us now?
