From pencil neck to one of the most muscular pros in the game, Nick Dompierre hasn’t forgotten his roots.
Recently, the former pro posted a throwback to one of the most iconic skate spots in the world, Brooklyn Banks.
On March 21, 2025, Dompierre shared a throwback photo on Instagram of himself with a backside noseblunt slide down the 10 stair handrail.
The post had a simple caption: "#tbt way back when at the Brooklyn Banks. What a time it was skateboarding back then. I think this was 2006. Good times. #nyc #skateboarding"
But that wasn’t all. He followed up with another video where he reminisced more about the legendary session.
He wrote: "Backside Noseblunt Brooklyn Banks, NY
Last week I posted a photo of this and it’s crazy how many people commented at said they were there for this.
This was 2006. What a time in skateboarding it was."
For Dompierre, the Brooklyn Banks have always held a special place.
Despite the fact that the spot has been closed off several times over the years, it’s clear he hasn’t forgotten where he came from.
The Banks were once the epicenter of skate culture, and Dompierre, a guy who spent countless hours on his board, always remembers the vibe and spirit of those days.
It’s not just the trick itself that’s memorable, but the fact that so many fans remember being there, living those moments with Dompierre.
He’s always been the kind of guy who stays connected with the skate community, and this throwback is proof of just how much the people around him mean to him.
That’s something a lot of skateboarders can relate to. How a single spot, a single moment in time, can stick with you and become part of your legacy.
Brooklyn Banks is one of those spots for Dompierre. It’s not just about the tricks or the fame; it’s about being part of something bigger than yourself.
While the Brooklyn Banks have had their fair share of shutdowns over the years, the memories made there are timeless.
And for the fitness guru, a guy who started out in the streets with a much smaller following, it’s clear that those moments shaped his career and his connection to skate culture.
Even now, years after his pro career ended, Dompierre continues to pay homage to the spots and people that helped him get to where he is today.
