It's not really an urban spot but if you sneak by the cops in chestnut ridge you can use some of the trees that have fallen down as like rails/boxes and in the frolf course there's benches/ picnic tables that you can grind and it's pretty hilly back there so you can actually get a decent amount of speed without really doing anything
cheaaaaaajust moved back to buffalo after going to uvm.. so i haven't got anywhere on my list but heres what I've come up with so far.
my hit list so far is..
dfd @ the UB north library
right elbow @ daemen college
dfd @ the park school on harlem
fdfd @ albright knocks gallery
My buddy mikey and I went to hit the dfd at park school back in December and It didn't go too well. The inrun doesn't provide too much speed and the size of the lip you have to build to get up onto the rail is significant. I'm pretty sure he has the video of him nutting it.

Yeah, right by the Albright Knox, across the street at Hoyt Lake directly next to Marcy Casino. Pictured here.
This of course means nothing to you unless you are familiar with the area.
There's also a nice trapezoid shaped rail by Centennial Pool on Porter, down by the waterfront, you could go down either side as just a down though and they're attached to a high wall for trannies. I couldn't find any good pictures of this online. I'll take a picture next time I'm there.
And Level 1 actually filmed here for Shanghai Six. They filmed a rail down by the Bison's Stadium. I think that rail might have been taken out actually, but hopefully not.
There's another thread somewhere on here dedicated to Buffalo Urban spots, I'll see if I can find it.

I'm at UB now and damn that DFD at the library....I have a few spots on North and south campus that would be baller but I don't know school rules for getting caught and stuff. I have a 20 foot banshee that would work. Check the HV thread. Next year I want to make a WNY skiing edit of area talent including urban stuffs.
Graduating college next week, and honestly my girlfriend and i are sick of where we live (knoxville, tn) and shes from buffalo. I got to visit and loved it so decided it was the right fit

Well Buffalo is a cool place, hopefully next year our parks will be better at the mountains.

Dude I'd love to get an urban crew together. I got a light, bunjee and camera ready!

you've had one all winter and didn't mention it? thought i asked (begged for one on the HV thread)
daemen has a long down elbow that is just asking for it
I like nicks idea of getting all the wny riders together for a video. I've met most of the people around here except for cheaaaaa and I think one other kid.

Well the police took it pretty early this winter. Long story short I should have it back by this winter.

Very random but at this past UB fall fest concert I wore my NS SnapBack and one of you guys called me out. I was drunk so I didn't catch your name. Reveal yourself!

shreddinthegnarrIf you want a girl in your edit, I'd be down!
Heck yeah! Like anyone would deny a girl to film with the crew! Right now its nothing more than an idea but i figured we have a pretty good group of skiers in the area who'd be down!
ABallsWell it's nicks idea so it's his decision but he'd probably be fine with it. Are you the girl at holiday with the teal jacket and grey pants?
Nope, I only got out to holiday once this season and it was the day before closing and 70 degrees. I think I was wearing my teal line hoodie and shorts tho, maybe you saw me?

Yesss. If this happens, which it should, it'll be pretty rad.

Nah I wasn't there Saturday, just closing day. Anyways hopefully this video will come together because it sounds sweet.

Yeah man. I mean I'm by no means an amazing videographer and my camera setup right now is a TM700 with fisheye and a GoPro 3 and I don't see myself getting much more equipment than that. Maybe a cheap steady cam for the gopro. Also have a bunjee (if the police return it) and a good flood light that runs on an extension cord
Woah. Count me in. I have a bungee as well. Also have done the down section of the trap on porter it is a nice spot. No bust factor and everyone coming off the 190 is like wtf
Also other places I have done some urban spots in buffalo:
UB north down rail that's above walkway in between student union and Knox.
UB north long mellow rail out side of governors (car tow)
Old black down rail outside city honors (RIP)
Helped a crew with the triple link on back of bison stadium (did not hit)
Maybe more to claim list that I am forgetting
I really want to try some different things maybe a wall ride or something. Let me know if you guys do this

Anybody want to try this rail this winter? There's a Nike SB video of Grant Taylor, I think, hitting it on a skateboard, so it would be doable.

Sooo anyone down to hit some urban after this dump you guys are getting? I'm from Rochester and I need someone to show me some spots if I went for a mission at some point this week
Built a (shitty) lip on the porter rail, both sides. Probably going tomorrow. Don't have a bungee or anything. But I may see some people there. I suck ass (at skiing).
I would like to come out and get some street if theres still a bunch of snow. Im located in SW pa but would be willing to make the drive if some homies are down to squad up.
I have generators, lights, shovels/rakes, scoops, winch, etc..
