            PIER 7
LOCALS
Pier 7 was a blessing in dis-
guise for all the old school.
Embarcadero skaters, who eventu-
ally got forced out by the
donut-eating Pigs.
Pier 7 (New Spot) has such a
good atmosphere because it is.
right by the Bay. So, when you
come to the New Spot, make sure
you bring a sweatshirt of some
sort, because after the fat
session, you will be very
sweaty and cold.
Pier 7 is a fun spot, it even.
has metal-edged blocks for

people who
can't handle
the very
rough blocks.
