Brightons notorious urban rail "Green Monster" has been torn down for undisclosed reasons. I know most of you are upset by this but you have to remember she is in a better place.

It doesn't look very large. Must just be the angle. But yeah, sick that its sorta useless to everyone but park rats.

if i lived there i would have grabbed matt and went. if i died, it would still have been fun. i probably would get like 8 feet and slide off the side and be like "fuck".

Its not so much the length or challenge of the rail that makes it cool as much as the setup. Its on a little hill on a sidestreet(no cops) and the hill goes down like 10-15 feet for an inrun and then all of the sudden theres the rail and stairs and it ends with like 5 feet or so for an outrun. Its like it was made for jibbing. Im just so mad i never got around to hitting it. My friend drove up there the other day to check it out and i told him that if there was enough snow we're doing it that night, but thats when he called and told me it wasnt there anymore.

I have no idea. Its a great looking rail, but the in-run has to go across the street and the end of the rail is a little sketchy.
