How It Went Down: The China Banks

This article was written by Adam Salo for the January 2007 issue of Skateboarder. Thrasher did a much more comprehensive story on this spot in 2022, but it's still cool to read this article now to see how people perceived and talked about the spot in 2006/2007.

During my trip to San Francisco last year, my wife and I were able to make a quick stop at the Banks, and I snapped a bunch of pictures. I didn't bring my board, but I probably would have struggled just to do a small backside carve. Anything that's been done there is remarkable!


Some photos from my visit:

Heck of a view!
