Raoul Wallenberg High School

CL/\SS OF 2013!

Haha this is kind of funny, I went to this page thinking it would be about the school. The category is even under schools, but everyone is commenting on its being a street skateboard spot. Well, I came here to comment the school since I went there for four years, however I have also been a skater in the city for half my life. Seeing how the latest review was two years ago, a serious update is in order.
First off It all started with that unnecessary wheel chair ramp three years ago or so. I say unnecessary because prior it was a somewhat high bank leading to the gym door a wheel chair could have EASILY gotten their. That ramp made the four undoable from the street and that was what made Wallenberg world famous because of the Gonz 20 years ago.
wellll… fast forward today. You need to see it to believe it (photos added please see for reference.) This once world famous skate spot is literally NO MORE! They have put in those cheap bungalows along the ENTIRE lower yard. That means no more lines down there. As for the four? well I talked to one of my previous teachers and guess what. Theres plans to… take them out. Even the Big Foot painted there in honor of skaters has now been vandalized by graffiti and the paint is peeling. I remember when they put that up man. It breaks my heart.
R.I.P to Wallenberg.
$h!t R.I.P. to San Francisco skateboarding for that matter.

class of 2007!

Wallenberg has never quite been the same after they put in that wheel chair ramp, HOWEVER some folks have been known to find other ways around that:
Don’t forget about the long long ledges, that little bank off to the side, and all the free space in the world. You can skate there whenever you like, just don’t try it when school is in session.

Damn you Wallenberg! Why’d you have to tempt me with those huge ledges of yours? I pulled a couple launches earlier in the session but the last one has cost me a jacked-​up, swollen, and stiff-​ass elbow at the moment.
The Old School Skate event was fun — as I said, lots of fun ledges, smooth surfaces, and as the last review mentioned a good bank to get some speed off of.
So yeah, it’s a cool place to skate but I’m taking one star off for leaving me with a wrecked elbow. No, it’s not my fault — blame it on Wallenberg!

For street skating, this spot is legendary. From Gonz pirate-​grabbing the big 3, to Chris Cole tre flippin’, this place has roots. It’s always a chill spot to skate on weekends. Worn out ledges, lots of flatland, even a bank. Sometimes flatbars, usually a cone or something to ollie.
