    3:50 - 3:57 went perfectly with the music, so satisfying.

    Hey John so just a fun fact. A London Plane Tree is a sycamore tree and those are the trees at that skate park. :) didn't know if you knew that. Love your content.

    I love to go to Grimm when I visit the city. I noticed Cooper skatepark was right around the corner, so I pinned it for later. Guess I'll be going there next time I visit!

    Astoria Skateboard Park is the closest one to me and it’s definitely one of my favorites because of the view except that there is usually a lot of kids there
