The prolific Andy Maguire (and his brother) took a hard right from NorCal to visit the Brooklyn Banks and some other classic NYC spots. The boys got around and brought some unique moves to the legendary mecca under the bridge. 

"Growing up, the Brooklyn Banks was the Holy Land of action sports.  A central meet up to hang, shred, and get engulfed in one of the biggest cities on the planet.  This place oozed culture, and projected so much that I grew to love about BMX.  A place to belong, shenanigans, a unique offering of obstacles that could be continuously sessioned; a complete package that I knew I had to feel rather than just see.  To see it re-open after 15 years of closure felt like a second chance, an opportunity I needed to take.  My brother and I flew out the week of 9/11, for a 3-day BMX binge.  We took the subway twice, and pedaled the rest of the way.  The banks lived up to the hype, as well as the rest of the classic NYC spot tourism.  We also managed to cross some bridges, explore unfamiliar neighborhoods, meet old and new friends, and live BMX through all hours of the day, until our muscles could barely steady the handlebars.  I hope this encourages you to cross some things off the bucket list as the new year unfolds; you owe it to yourself!"
