Anybody remember Bobby Orioli at this skate park?

The very first time I walked in the turf, I looked straight ahead and there was jeff grosso playing the pinball, he looked over at me I think because the sunlight was let in and maybe blocked the vision of the pinball lol idk I was 13. I met Steve alba, and I think spidey, and Jason Jesse i believe. I bought the new corey Obrien that day and Steve signed it. Yeah, would love to know where that deck is now😢

That was fun to watch. Got to go there with McGill when I worked for him bitd.

Dude rocking the Rebel Skates T!!!! Who dat!?

It's sad about what happened to the place. The park and the nearby neighborhood is a hotspot for gang activity.

Fresh for 89!!!

Killer!! Made it out there a few times from where I grew up in La Habra. Loved the Monster Bowl!

I remember the movie Rad when those biker dudes would do their little stuff in the pipe and then come out and leg stall up on the fence. That was pretty cool even tho I was a skater and couldn’t stand those biker dudes haha.

3:44 I'm sure glad they cut off the footage of the bikini girls there as it was starting to get too ethnic.

This is the coolest shit ever

Incredible

I remember going to the Turf when I was a kid

Sounds like A Certain Ratio - Shack Up playing in the background near the start.

I had Steve Caballero board with Dragon on the bottom and had the Indie trucks, who remembers the Bones Brigade? My favorite skate movie was Propaganda. lol Mike McGill the Mctwist Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi, Lance Mountain, Natas.

I still have my green I.D with my picture on it that said Turf I got to find it, I was like 5 6 years old, we had a big crew I was youngest but we would ride our skateboards all the way from 30th and National all the way to loomis I think that’s a long ride anyway imagine being 5”6 trying keep up with the older kids. lol I was scared to drop in from the big key hole. lol

I had my yellow card. 🙌🏻 I forgot all about the old dude, but was watching some salba vids.

Awsome 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Geeze this all looks so tight and tricky to skate. Especially the clover.

I remember one dude behind them counter had a shirt that said "Fuck 'Em" in the Santa Cruz font.

The craziest thing about the older days of skateboarding is how we all just gravitated to each other without phones or internet if you had a board you were one with everyone that skated and that’s it

Sick footage of some real gnar with style. who is the guy in the green shorts, no shirt? just ripping.

I spent countless hours here as a kid.These planters definitely weren't designed for skateboarding but how cool is it that this spot and that crater/volcano design would end up influencing so many skate park designers all over the world. Learn your skate history kids..

💚💛🌴⚡🖤😇🌺

Reminds me more of a ski lodge than a skatepark I wish more places where like this

A bunch of arcades and skateparks sounds like the best place ever

God the people in the neighborhood must have HATED this invasion.

Bob Peterson Rad

Didn't know Jim Gray skated that well, hitting 10 o'clock or higher on every turn in the pipe. Even the Gray slide looks sick (seemed dorky in photos).

Wow.

2:48

awesome Mr. Jim Gray. We down in New Orleans looked up to ALL of you guys (everybody in the world looked up to you guys bruh, I hope you all know that). Man how we slobbered all over the magazines just to see you guys rip it up in CALIFORNIA heaven. Salutations. IN SEARCH OF LESTER KASAI, LOL...

everyone trying to get some

I had a Blockhead Jim Gray board back in the 80s.

Dope 🫡

Epic!

KIller sesh💪🏼

Imagine your house was the one on the other side of the street !! Sad to watch this go away but happy all the kids today have nice parks.

Thank you for posting my friend!

I skated that park back in the day, late 80's

Gold

Awesome vid. Lotsaa Shredding. I broke your G&S board in half back in 86 on a curb cut. Traded some Kryto wheels for the deck. I think I sat in the rain. Oh well. Great shape.

Why can’t we have any cool spots where everyone hangs out and skates at nowadays

Wtf

Epic

Why did they get rid of this place?

i can only image what it feels like to be skating all of that beautiful concrete.

Was there opening day

Are used to go there all the time as a kid I lived right down the street going through the creek bed even when the water park was there man I remember we used to sneak in there when it finally closed and we were using it and when it filled up with water it was pretty scary. Sometimes you couldn’t get out somebody had to throw your road so while I was the man we had some great times there in the wave and then also the BMX track at the YMCA in Orange on my God man so great times now we don’t have any of that gotta go to the skate park far away and I don’t even know where a BMX track is anymore.

Spent a lot of time shredding 🛹 there in the 90's! Love the video brings back the memories. Anyone else remember jamming to Social Distortion here?

Second comment of the day on a decade old video- Goddamn this makes me happy! This should be put out again.
