How many of you know or rather remember Hubba Hideout in San Francisco? Well it is now gone! Yep they, the city, destroyed it. I remember the first time I saw it in the first Plan B video, Questionable, which sold EMB and the Bay Area to my young mind. When I first moved up here I would spend endless nights taking the M line from SFSU to downtown SF getting off at Castro station and skating all the way down Market. The ledges throughout this stretch of the city then you'd hit the brick further down all the way to EMB like the yellow brick road. By far one of the most influential skate videos and meccas ever! First the EMB got redone some years ago, now Hubba gone, and the ledges at the pier are almost unskateable. The soundtrack to the video Questionable is mostly various Primus songs/albums and the Beastie Boys "Check Your Head" album as they all killed it in and set the bar high for skateboarding. Here are some of the original skaters: -Mike Carroll -Rick Howard -Colin McKay -Rodney Mullen -Danny Way -Shean Sheffey -Ryan Fabry -Pat Duffy -Sal Barbier -Matt Hensley It is rather interesting or coincidental to me how this video played such a big part in my life as most of the San Diego skate spots in it I skated often growing up then San Francisco spots I skated regularly once I moved up here. Here are my memorable moments from the video almost twenty years later: Pat Duffy killed it in that video from the banks/hips at Jump Ramp School in Scripps Ranch San Diego and that other HS. The huge rail in Solano Beach at the middle or elementary school. Then the crazy steep handrails in the rain at the high school by Lake Hodges (I forget the name though should remember as I was arrested for skating there, haha, San Pasquail maybe they also had the above mentioned banks). San Diego Sports Arena Double set, the benches in Poway at Webbb Park, and rails at SFSU. Then the crazy rails and gaps throughout Marin County. Danny Way just destroyed it throughout Carlsbad. The L we used to call it cause in an L shape you had Carlsbad High, Valley Middle School, the church and Magnolia Elementary School. And the killer skate sessions at EMB (RIP), the pier and Hubba Hideout (RIP). Damn that whole video beginning to end is a must see if you have any fascination with skateboarding. Many of the guys on that first team were fuc'n young and some still skate or are active behind the scenes. The above names are by far not the inclusive list of who murdered those skate spots as the whole Plan B Team all did in their own rights. Enough of my memories here's an article from ESPN and videos below article: Here's the Questionable video in six parts (the audio isn’t very good and they change out some of the music in these cuts). At about 4:50 in the Part One is Hubba Hideout for those that just want to see the reason for this article. For those that want to enjoy all….enjoy and if you have stories of Hubba Hideout, EMB, etc have at it!

Hey, I'm Travis, and I work at Lucky Lady Tattoos in Richmond, KY. I've been there for 5 months, but I've been tattooing for about 4 years. I like traditional, the Smiths, and skateboarding. I work with Gilk.
