Oh man I remember like this was yesterday. Epic day. The Birth Tour coming to Boston! We all met at Eric Flames on Newbury St in Boston at the time...chilled a bit, Chris signed some shit blah blah...crowd of skaters gathered near 50 or 60...just taking off to skate with the group going against traffic on Newbury was Epic. I can stil remember hearing about this...because the initial spot we all hit up first was the fountain at the Church...the jump is huge...no ones 360ing that to this day
Anyone commenting on the spot where this happened is a fool. Videos depth of field? 2 dimensional? Referenced for hight? Chris said 10 feet high, the rail was.... 5ft tall maybe? Anyone, even today, would think twice about gapping that. Tell you guys what... go to the spot, 540 and reply to this video please...

My point below was most of the group was still at the fountain and not with Chris and the other guys at the Prudential center yet.
