RIP Brooklyn Banks (goodbye for now)

In case you didn't know, Smart Crew is made up of mostly pro-skaters/bikers/parkour/scooter kids.  Needless to say, it is sad news to report that the Brooklyn Banks is officially closed and fenced off on both sides as of yesterday.  It will be completely closed for 6 months, then partially closed for another 4 years. More information and a detailed timeline here.  They will be fully re-opened in 2014 (so they say.)







Fortunately, Smart Crew is continuing to fund the LES Skate Park nearby under the Manhattan Bridge to keep the "youts" outta trouble.



High-five to SMART!
