[CaptainCorpulence]

@dailysk8shp2

Embarcadero's Most Blunted ... but most people thought it was just an abbreviation for Embarcadero.

[Christianofcanada]

[willis02]

yeaah thomas ! ,

[Don1970]

Who the hell gave this a negative rating?? Some people just don't have a clue what they're looking at. Too young I guess.

I should note... I said Mike Carrol and the first Plan B video made it really popular, which I think is true cause that vid had an effect on me and many others, but also Mark Gonzales made it official when he ollied that same spot Jamie Thomas is hitting. Gonz ollied it back in '86 giving it the name "Gonz Gap". He was also the first to kickflip it. Lots of history.

[JGsk8s]

[Skatemore1243]

@WarMachine0003 dude, thats a disgrace

[goingnowhere]

@WarMachine0003 wow

[Don1970]

@WarMachine0003 EMB or Embarcadero was huge back in the early 90's. I remember seeing it in skate videos that came out in the 80's, but the spot exploded in the early 90's when videos like "The Questionable Video" from Plan B came out in '92. Guys like Mike Carrol made it extremely popular after that video came out. I remember wanting to go there so bad when I was skating back then. Hubba Hideout was another hot spot. Does anyone know if it was part of EMB?

[cheezyhightops1]

@Don1970 Yup, Hubba Hideout is right around the corner from EMB. A few minutes walk. One time back in 94 we tried to crash out under the Hubba. It all seem like a dream today, those were the best days.

[Don1970]

@cheezyhightops1 Nice! Thanks! Yeah, I was never out there but I always had it my head that they were near each other.
