      Did I hear correctly from somewhere that the spot got its name from a homeless person named Hubba that once called the space their home? (Replying to this comment in the hope my question catches some traction) Keep up the story telling @ThrasherMagazine.

      @@chrispullar The first explanation I remember hearing was from James Kelch who just said Hubba = crack and both homeless people and office workers nearby would smoke crack in that pedway/staircase because it blocked away prying eyes from the street. Hence the "hideout" part of the name.

Had bought a board at FTC and spent a week skating around SF and Oakland and thought I'd visit the infamous Hubba Hideout to see what I could throw down. Nothing. That's what I threw down. Such an intimidating spot. Higher than you think and rough as anything with sketchy people everywhere. I ollied down it and then walked away to skate something smaller.
