Boston-area filmer Jason Jenkins put together this video on Beantown’s well-known spot you've seen over the years in numerous videos—the Long Wharf, aka the Aquarium. It’s been skated for over 25 years, by all different generations of skaters. Jerry Fowler walks us through the hallowed ground, Dunkin in hand, and lets us know the history.
"After nine years, Jenkins' Log is back. In this clip, we're diving into the history of one of Boston’s most storied skate spots — Long Wharf aka Aquarium. I had the chance to bring Jerry Fowler back to his old stomping grounds to talk about the golden era of skating at AQ and what makes the spot so unique. Then, we bring it full circle with some new clips at the spot featuring Andrew Whittier, Benny Goldman, Tommy Wisdom, David Milliken and Curt Daley. In the nine years since publishing a new Jenkins' Log Clip, skateboarding has changed, Boston has changed, but AQ remains. Go skate and enjoy it while it lasts!
Featuring: Jerry Fowler, Matt Willigan, Jahmal Williams, Joey Pepper, Will Harmon, Zeb Weisman, John Wisdom, Nate Keegan, Tommy Wisdom, Eli Reed, Ben Tenner, Matt O'Brien, Brian Reid, Andrew Whittier, Benny Goldman, David Milliken and Curt Daley.
Music: Denny Laflare"
A solid lineup of Boston heads, and as Jerry mentions, the spot ain't perfect. Sometimes you're landing on cobblestone.
