Sk8er & MistRider
Yo MistRider, ever find a spot where the city’s concrete maze turns into a hidden playground with a bit of nature? Got any urban wilderness spots that double as a skate hub?
Yeah, totally! In Brooklyn, the abandoned train tunnels under Williamsburg have become this gritty skate park, but the walls are covered in lush murals and vines that creep up the concrete. Over in Berlin, the Teufelsberg hill—once a WWII bunker—has a skate ramp on the roof, and the surrounding abandoned airfield is now a meadow with wildflowers and a little creek. In São Paulo, the Edifício Copan’s roof has a secret skate spot, but there’s also a hidden green terrace with plants and a tiny forest patch. Those places mix the grind of skating with a breath of real nature, and they’re perfect for when you need a break from the city grind.
