This Old Ledge: New York Courthouse

New York City is a treasure trove of Epic Spots and rich layers of history. Ted Barrow takes us through three blocks that boast some of the best terrain in the world. Monumental spots make great skateboarding.

please never stop this series, please

[@dambroangling2828]

My war is best

[@BeardedDante]

We need Ted to this series at every legendary spot in the U.S.

[@evangundlach9538]

Legit

[@skhateboarding6631]

right, only in the U.S.!

[@thejman3489]

Check out the Dern Brothers. They have a series going where they show up at the spot, talk about tricks that went down, and get interviews from skaters that absolutely destroyed that spot.

[@BeardedDante]

@@thejman3489 for sure! I just need some architectural history as well. For the nerd in me

[@oOTevtronOo]

@@thejman3489and then they start dropping bangers on the spot themselves

[@ChesterApricot]

I love how he speaks as to what the architecture represent in the historical context but also the present sense and how it also relates to skating

[@4tinjo]

Best series ever.

[@GettingHyphy]

Think i still like My War more but this is def up there

[@turtleboypurp]

dude crushes this series, always love the side piece history of these spots that isn't related to skating. Really ties it altogether.

[@joseortega9519]

Good narrator and cool history 📜 lesson.

[@matt2993]

THIS SERIES MUST GO ON FOREVER

[@andrewkissel741]

Best series, hands down

[@FreedomStateFSS]

Idk, dern bros got a great series

[@bocarter2794]

Definitely copied dern bros

[@dambroangling2828]

Nah my war

[@offbrandaphid9112]

Room for both I reckon

[@billytheblockomus]

@@FreedomStateFSS they cool and all but they just name off tricks, ted is actually a great story teller

[@sukice]

Thank you ted

[@mattlarsen8585]

Very refreshing, nice to see skate media that isn’t just a day in the life or a boring interview

[@jptothetree]

For real!

[@collinrobertwillardson7916]

I will pay a monthly service fee for more video content like this. I love history and skateboarding, and combining the two is the best thing in the world

[@froggeryjones]

Love the random lady crossing the street at 9:08 applauding Cyrus dropping a banger!

[@SkateMediaChannel]

I've just binged the entire series. Please keep making these. Send this man around the world. No spot left behind.

[@flacyyyttem]

Will probably comment on every single one of these for the analytics, cause man this is so good and so worthwhile. Thanks for all the hard work Ted and everyone involved.

[@Jeremyramone]

An absolute work of art. Thanks "Understanding history is crucial, we as humans must grow together into something like a single family, for this we must become familiar with each other, and this means becoming familiar with each other's history, since we do not live just in the immediate present, we live in a mental time stream remembering the past and looking forward, with hope, or fear, to an oncoming future.

[@NatGreenOnline]

I always leave each episode smarter because of Ted. Such a great series.

[@sandhanitizer15]

I can watch these videos for hours. Keep 'em coming so we all have a sick catalog to sit and look back on. Shred on 🤘

[@unseenforcs]

I would pay money to see a regular series like this that covered more spots. It is so well done..

[@eastcoasttone3952]

Legendary skating mixed with a history lesson of NYC. I love it!

[@addielmartinez9120]

Thanks Ted

[@DoomSplitta]

Another absolute banger. This and My War are Goated.

[@Jb-px3nx]

As a man who thoroughly enjoys skateboarding and history I greatly appreciate your video!

[@artemface]

The confluence of skating and public space/architecture is just the best and Ted Barrow does an UNREAL job. Thank you Ted!!!

[@jordanwilbert_]

Got all the bikers watching these series too! So good!

[@XgremyX]

Skateboarders need this content. I'm so stoked Ted and thrasher are producing this series. SO GOOD!

[@futuristpictures]

Love this series - both for finding out history I didn't know, and for showing the world how deeply skateboarders care about the heritage of spaces & places in our cities. Props to all filmers & photographers for creating an archive to tell these stories!

[@SuperCezaa]

We need a thousand more videos like this one!

[@farraymusic4618]

I love the history background!

[@RobertCanales-w1q]

What a well done video boys we need more skate spots with history lessons

[@phillyboy150]

The girl clapping after Cyrus landed is just art!

[@raymondramdass633]

Incredible episode, extremely well produced and edited! Thank you Thrasher and Ted please keep this series going!!

[@bloomingproductions6886]

Thank you to the Thrasher crew for providing these immaculate moments!

[@stevenknoble1361]

[@ericpohlman5131]

Man, that was so good. Gave me goose bumps. Plus, Suciu.

[@Nomad_Skateboarding]

This series is awesome. Shout out Ted getting in front of the camera. Well done Thrasher 🙌

[@saladz3657]

Another great one. I love the mix of history of skateboarding, architecture and culture. Informative and fun to watch!

Yessss. Best series. Love the history lesson

[@pederbergenwall]

Very casual skate vid enjoyer here, but this series is amazing.

[@non_brewed_condiment]

This truly is the best series ever

[@drippyscratchcat]

What an awesome story teller and the way he presents what he's talking about is amazing. Built for this shit!!

[@derrickadams4874]

This was such a fantastic explanation of architecture and skateboarding coalesce. If you ever try to explain skateboarding to someone you love who doesn't understand it, this is a great recipe.

[@mattbushnell7885]

As many of us skaters turn middle-aged, this quality content proves very interesting. The man knows his stuff!

[@enzofer2125]

These videos are off the charts good!

[@howiespancakeshack]

These are incredible. 11/10.

Only Thrasher Magazine can deliver sick tricks and amazing History all in one. Bravo!

[@vizzybabyy]

A true historian and passionate perspective on such an iconic skate spot.

[@RollForever88]

East coast skating even to this day still captures the essence of what made the 90’s and 00’s skating so great. I can really appreciate that. Cool vid.

[@236santi]

This series is amazing

[@Subterranean_wind]

Those are absolutely brilliant!

[@peachy-tay]

[@azizabbasi4739]

The depth of emotions that skateboarding makes us feel is unbelievable. This was so good.

I missed Ted so much.

[@MegaAppl3]

Great work Ted !

[@null_bite]

yo!! wow .. this was sooo insanely fun to watch

[@drewa5355]

Best series y'all have ever done. The way dude went into detail about the spot was second to none. Beautifully done.

[@pharmeee]

Ted is so good at this

[@johannngut]

Crazy spots. This please series must go on forever

[@henryjones8287]

Love this series. They're such a nice counterpoint to the Dern Bros' vids, which are also great in their own way.
These vids are like a fine single malt to the Dern Bros' session lager.

[@bradleyniday1167]

I love when I can come to Thrasher for my shred sesh and historical lessons. Forever subscriber since the 90's here.

[@stevee.7419]

Great piece. Fantastic skateboarding!

[@ShawnPBruce]

As soon as I moved to New York I went through the Court House area and took in all the history from the space. What an iconic place.

[@rorymcclure]

Absolutely outstanding work, as always!

[@followsuittrading]

Ted's narration is gold. The lady on the street clapping after the nose manual nollie 180 flip out for the very last trick made my heart smile

[@foamy_things]

Dude is really articulate and insightful. Love this

[@qdc70]

Refreshing to hear a well-spoken guy give details on an iconic spot
