2-for-1 at Ashland and Addison

Blue ledge, blue bank, ollie up to bank, Ashland bank to ledge...whatever you call this spot, it is blocks from my apartment. But as convenient as it would be for me to skate and shoot photos here regularly, I totally understand why it's not the most popular spot in the city. The sidewalk is littered with everything from gravel to broken glass, then you ollie up onto the chunky, slanted, narrow blue ledge, and then try to get your trick within the few feet that are actually waxed.
That said, there have been some pretty cool tricks done on it, and some people find it fun. So here are a couple photos of suburbanites Mike Kadar and Jim Farrell getting down on a back tail and back 5-0, respectively.
