Spot Details

Area: Financial District

Type: Ledge, Gap, Pad, Stair, Rail

Description: Justin Herman Plaza, also known as Embarcadero or EMB first started getting skated in the mid 1980s. The first world famous street spot, EMB, drew people from all over the world. It had everything- ledges, the 3-stair, the seven, the Gonz Gap. What started as a local hangout informed the direction of skateboarding as a whole throughout the early ‘90s. It was where tricks and trends originated. And if you aspired to a career as a skater, it was where you sought out some kind of spotlight.
