Best Skatepark INSIDE A SHOPPING MALL?!

[@zarc]

Kinda surprised that everyone wasn't doing a mall grab walking in, but knew Gabe wouldn't disappoint.

[@20_47Racing]

Coming back to this notification on my KZbin account I realized how much y’all taught me how to skate board and now I’m racing cars, sparked a passion for going fast, thank y’all and don’t worry I haven’t completely abandoned my board!

[@brailleskateboarding]

Welcome back! Glad you are still skating.

[@tmjp13]

You still skating?

[@4Hiroshi7]

Love hearing the business side of opening the skatepark . As a small business owner I appreciate the details of the behind the scenes. Also his advice on expecting to spend double, and having the right team/negotiators is some of the most necessary advice for business

[@zorkblat3858]

Huge props to Rob. I feel like Aaron would love this park. Also, it's great to see Ricky being able to session again!

[@brennyfb]

I will never get tired of seeing Nigel’s pop shuvs. Absolutely beautiful

[@ladylovejlw3]

Nigel's foot work always has me going back and rewatching it. He is just flawless when he nails a trick.

[@zRythum]

one of the most underrated skaters in my opinion

[@musclecarfan74]

Great video, back in college I had to write up a proposal for class, I wrote one on how to get a skate park in my community. We got one the following year a basic metal park, back in 2003. Now we have an indoor park our town is less than 7,000 people.

[@brailleskateboarding]

That is pretty awesome

[@joshuaadams5295]

I love these small parks! I wish my town had something like this when I was a kid and started skating. I would have been so much better way faster. These parks are just perfect and learning. especially for grinds and handrails.

[@xditsrxnx]

This should be in every mall

[@leanneraughton6154]

true

[@jonesman23]

Shoutout to Nigel and Rob and the whole team for building that skatepark!! You guys and the braille team really bringing skateboarding forward❤

[@DoingNothingKing]

The owner seemed absolutely rad to the max. This is honestly every teenagers dream to learn the fundamentals to skate. Just blown away how awesome this is & the owner great stuff

[@chaosoul-seanleeriggs369]

JD with the ender, whole squad went and tore it up. You did a great thing Rob, it's awesome to know that many new skaters will get their chance to hone their craft!

[@platinumspoons4004]

Woah! Dude, I used to go to this mall as a kid! There didn't used to be a skatepark there, it used to be a buffet! Crazy!

[@dylnfstr]

We had a full blown Woodward in Grapevine Mills Mall here in Texas when I was a kid. But sadly it doesn't exist anymore. I have a prominent memorie of wearing my H.I.M. collab Adios? I believe and they were jamming fall out boy when I was learning how to ollie on banks.

[@mikemoffitt3048]

I grew up in south jersey in the 90s/00s we had Vans skatepark at the Moorestown mall and Woodward at Franklin Mills mall. Both parks are closed now but were some of the best and most diverse parks of their day.

[@Unlockingparadoxes]

I hope that everyone is having a great Summer so far this year.

[@TheGingerBeef]

Back in the day, we used to have an indoor skatepark in the basement of West 49's flagship store in West Edmonton Mall. It's a distant memory now, but was pretty cool while it lasted!

[@imyourhosttoasto_o9905]

Idea. When you do the "best skatepark" videos, what if you played a game of skate where every obstacle is a letter? That would be cool.

[@RedonRedGutta923]

Rob needs a Nine Club episode!!!!

[@nrgzrbny]

The changes Sunvalley Mall has gone through over the years. Dang. No more movie theater. No more ice skating rink. No more pet store. Plane crash in 1985. I grew up shopping at the mall then ended up working at Cinnabon for a few years then came back a decade later as Mall Security. As soon as I saw the parking lot I knew it was SV Mall and exactly where on the property you were. lol

[@LuvLockDwn]

I live so close to here was hyped to see it open up i watched them build it over a few weeks thru the windows

[@TheSasakiSquadv2]

Would LOVE to see one of these in the American Dream Mall in NJ. Session Big Snow for snowboarding then session Rob Skate Academy, you could even surf in the morning. The trifecta!

[@Adam-M-]

You should put taller pads on all of the support columns since they aren't for skating anyway. They might protect you from additional liability, and the existing pad is too short to prevent a head hit.

[@depax95]

Didnt see any pads on any column.

[@Bigboigamerguy]

Dope I really hope this place stays around.

[@joshuaschmidinger3993]

This was great and the vibe was special 😎👌 this had a completely different feel to it(almost reminded me of Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, lije an 80's early 90's vibe of skating in a mall, also the original THPS 👏)so cool. Love braille ❤

[@evandelgadillo]

Rob is awesome. Seems like he genuinely cares and wants to be of service to the skate community.

[@charliechristian1097]

This looks incredible we have a bunch of malls going out of business here one of them is turning into a pickleball complex might be some opportunities for a long term low rent lease to start one of these if Robs Skate Academy will franchise............. Main thing that bums me out w my local is that the banks and quarters are short but steep. The street section is tight and the snake run and the bowl are gnarly as. I'm 27 getting g back on my board after about 12 years off, so I definitely love the beginner level features because I can't really risk big injuries what with work and family and all that. Love you guys. This park looks absolutely mint

[@gregmayeux6001]

rob skatepark facilities are like a goal to me !!!! indoor structures in shopping mall here in France let's go

[@NathanMcBroom]

This is so sick. Thanks ROB for all you've done. And great job, guys, on the team back to back down rail line!

[@itsPOPROX]

That's pretty dope. I kinda miss the buffet tho but it this is cool to see. It's gonna get pretty loud in that section of the mall. Hopefully it attracts people to come back to Sunvalley.

[@C0NFUSED_FR]

i love these beginner friendly parks, unfourtnantly my local is aimed towards pros 😭

[@sqiudy-catmedland1421]

Same 😭

[@Adam-M-]

Yeah, I don't know why they fill parks with huge features that the average skater can't do. There needs to be a balance.

[@IHateSmilingFriendsTheTVShow]

​@@Adam-M-you find the balance in the street n then once you've figured it out tear up the park (atleast that's how I navigated that)

[@ALPHAF15H]

Maybe one day y’all will make it out to Fort Collins CO. We have so many parks out here.

[@Anthony-uz5tj]

i hope he goes nationwide that park looks awesome

[@TheSquareOnes]

Wow, really impressive that Nigel designed, financed and built this entire place by himself, that guy can really do anything.

[@BlindmanDru]

Nigel's skate academy looks like a great place for beginners. Also, every lodge and rail looks super buttery and perfect

[@LevelUpDaily434]

Wish I had one of these near me, just a lil bigger though. Those obstacles were tiny. I'm new, 5 weeks in right now, and can drop in to bigger half pipes than that for sure. I'm sure it's still helpful for learning but you need various sizes all in one place so you can play around. That's one way you get better. Theres a park near me with half pipes that are way too big, but I still roll in off the hip and see how far up i can roll up them. One day I'll get it, I can already tell. Keep at it everybody, confidence is 99% of the battle

[@MichaelCRodriguez223]

JD and Nigel's progession is actually insane.

[@Seb_Falkor]

Really cool to see some behind the scenes bits with Rob and those plans and permits. Don’t see that that often.

[@Mark00864]

17:53 Nigels late flips are siick!!

[@rowley66]

makes me miss Vans skatepark inside great mall milpitas. had 3 street sections, 2 bowls, a full sized half pipe ( Steve Cab would be there often) an outside concrete area with quarter pipes kickers and a spine, and a mini ramp and a wave to quarter pipe. i had a membership for like 3 years in a row. included a full skate shop arcade , lockers and couch to chill on between or after sessions.

[@zachfarmer1388]

We need one of these in Memphis Rob! Get the youth out of the streets and into something productive!

[@HunterDickelman]

I'd love to see a beginner's skate park in NW Arkansas. I'm trying to learn how, but it's hard when there isn't someone with experience there to help

[@cooleyzz]

i dont skate anymore but this one was funt o watch everyone going all out. need more content likethis

[@donnytucker]

That place looks super fun! And that was indeed a legit mall grab. 😂

[@aidenhanchett]

Grand Rapids, MI used to have a massive skatepark inside their mall, even an inground concrete bowl and a vert ramp

[@cappakrunchcappakrunch9681]

Only thing that I could say would make it better to learn on is having those rail cappers that primitive has - A square rail that slides over and locks on to round rails. SUPER easy to use. ALSO- Aint nothing wrong with the mall grab.

[@Tenka649]

dude i always flinch when the edit comes when a new scene starts. this freaking sound man xD

[@eyespliced]

Ooo! Hey, a indoor skatepark might work at Hilltop Mall. There is certainly open space anyways.

[@sotyfan1]

The boys were cookin on that three stair and rail. Yuhhhhhhh

[@TheBiscuitFactory]

JD is a little beast.

[@vandercudo]

JD is amazing.

[@AndyReynolds-xk5rl]

yall taught me what skating is💓

[@elijahstallings6655]

liKed just for Nigel landing those tricks on call

[@Heavymetalstonie420]

If your from az and know about Vans skate park which is no longer but it was in a mall and it was sick. With fast forward skate shop in it.

[@serj1017]

NGL the tricks sound amazing in there when they were all going off the three stair it was like asmr heaven

[@dannyguzman7052]

I remember when I was living in Jersey back in 08, there was an indoor park at one of their malls.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Really cool

[@jasontaylor5188]

Makes me miss the old Vans skatepark at the great mall in Milpitas

[@Jan123.]

This is so awesome! I wish we had one of these here in Berlin!

[@gotfetti]

that’s a perfect park for beginners

[@spartandyl3462]

Best mall skatepark of all time was Woodward inside of sugar loaf mills in Georgia. It closed down sadly after a lawsuit I miss it so much. Went to summer camp there

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Awesome definitely would like to have one of them near me🔥🔥

[@annualgiftman9472]

That looks like so much fun! : ) I wish I was near I would start skateboarding again!

[@gbreedwell]

You should fly out and do the one in Buffalo... or even better, get Braille skateparks in Simon Properties and malls across the country!!

[@Ghost-mw7fg]

should def think bout indoor park at Chico ca this town needs it

[@hitdrumhard]

first a plane falls on santa claus at the sun valley mall, and now they have a skate park!

[@miguelmorganus3773]

Our mall has a skatepark in it now called the food court and it has a bowl in it and it's a nice looking concrete indoor park

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

Go to smalltown malls and build small parks like these, bet you got some money coming in.

[@SaltGrinder]

cool park, I see a broken tv or shattered glass wall in the near future (which is also cool)

[@termikes174]

That old vans park at the great mall was fun. Rip

[@bakedkalechips69]

There used to be one at Ontario Mills in California also. I used to go all the time when I was younger. Rip

[@termikes174]

@@bakedkalechips69 I wrote great mall like everyone would know where it’s at. It was in Milpitas, CA. I would rush there almost every night in my mid 20s after work and skate til it closed. Cheers my man

[@brailleskateboarding]

I remember when that Mall opened! Was a huge deal

[@Surms41]

Yall should teach JD the WORD to get camera. He needs to capture the crazy. He could just say YOO! and snap the camera at the dude. Hes insane!

A mall in Moorestown NJ had a skate park in it back in the day
