HONG KONG SPOT CHECK 03 - Bank of China Tower

In episode 3 we revisit the iconic Bank of China building. Listen to Darryl, JBS and Ant Claravall dive into the early days of Hong Kong street skateboarding. Whether you're a seasoned skater or just a fan of the culture, the Bank of China building is a spot that is too perfect to be true. There are still many NBD’s to be done.. just figure out a way to get past security!

Every skater from Hong Kong felt the same feeling of stoke when they saw this Dustin Dollin Bank of China clip pop up in his iconic Baker 3 part.

2022 - Yu Long, heelflip

We wanted an NBD trick into the top bank to close out episode 3 so we hit up Mei Foo ripper Yu Long. After a good few hours of playing cat and mouse with security and one wet board in the fountain, Yu Long rolled away from this high-speed heel flip into the double bank plunge. This was probably one of the most intense and stressful sessions I’ve ever been on. We were all left in disbelief after he rolled away.
