Campus Orientation: Drexel

Photos by Eric F.

There’s not much to be said about the Drexel skate scene. It’s pretty small. I came to Drexel three years ago, and the only other skater I knew was Brian Dolle. We skated around campus almost every day, and saw many skaters from throughout the city come to skate some of the more well-known spots. The next year, there were a few more skaters and the year after that, even more! We also made friends with people at neighboring schools and they joined us in our frequent sessions.

There’s a huge flat gap not far from the 7-11 campus. Here’s Ben killing it!

If you ask anyone at Drexel about skateboarding, even non-skaters, they will probably mention Race Street. Tim, an engineering student at Drexel, is seen here kickflipping the perfect flat gap that used to be found on the closed off section of the street.

Our friend Dave Pollen built a mini ramp in his dorm after becoming frustrated with the lack of transition at Drexel.
