SPOTS: LONG BEACH BENCHES
These Long Beach California benches should almost be instantly recognizable. Although not the “main” benches made famous by Brian Castillo/old S&M videos (to me anyway) which have been removed for a while now, the one’s pictured are still a guaranteed go-to spot for anyone swinging by the area.
Although this isn’t the most epic spot, it’s still good for some quick nibbling or to dial in a good run using all 3 benches. Also, the beach is right there too.
Unfortunately, these benches have recently been knobbed up, but that doesn’t really stop you from grinding the top section (notice the black tire smudges), or from doing manuals and whatnot.

**If you think you may have a good, serious spot to share, please email me- nuno@defgrip.net
are the spots that are to be shared gonna be put on blast?
That’s a shame, I was only able to get 1 good session in on that spot. It’s not a shame, it’s a problem.
That sucks, I gaurentee that the top will get knobbed after whoever owns the place notices that people still ride them.
nah, if i get something i wont put any specifics in.
if you dont know how to get to these benches i posted, my post wont really help you find them. Long Beach is a big area.
haha sucks…at least still got top ledge.
yo its a dialed spot but u can just take them off my town nobed by ledges and we took them of
fight the power !
more pictures of bikes and more pictures of spots, please.
I hate when spots go away.
luckily Minneapolis isn’t that blown up so spots tend to stick around for a long time. still sucks to see something that looked really fun to nibble on gone.
im pretty sure ive seen some one wall ride the back of the bench before. i guess that could still be done.
what nunO? your plegs dont grind over them?
haha cool cool. those ledges are chill. long beach ain’t all that big when ya know the locals
i’ll try to share a few LA spots then.
I don’t know if taken the knobs off is a good idea cos there were skaters in melbourne, Aus (my town) and they took these stoppers off these rails near a cafe, the cafe just removed the rails…thanks to dickheads that spot got ruined then, they ruined it even more
you can still go to the fun park in long beach [not el dorado]
we actually pulled one of those metal thingies out.
share spots all day. I google map them shits for people who are interested enough to ask about em
dam nazi nobs
bomont is the spot right near the beach boooy
