Description

Martin Place is the granddaddy of Sydney skate spots. Located in the heart of the Sydney CBD it's the ultimate meet up spot before a session. The plaza is split over four city blocks so, 'you can start up top and figure your way down,' according Koston. The run ends in a massive four block that's been featured in countless skate videos. ' [It's] fun to try and get some tricks down the hill into the four block,' says Malto. The consensus according to Jefferson? 'Must go to when in Sydney'¦ I feel this spot is straight out of a video game.' Martin Place is a pedestrian mall in Sydney which is home to multiple ledges, stair sets and handrails. The most documented of it's spots is a four stair set which is quite long and drawn-out.The surrounding offices and general daily grind related chaos make Martin Place a no-go zone between business hours. The best time to skate there is either after 7pm on a weeknight or on the weekend.
