Nike Built An Unusual Skatepark In LA

@@alvincorral7526 oh he gets Buck, I just mean with videos, he’s been filming and uploading like crazy and he could still upload the same amount of videos per week! But idk it just seems like if I were in his position I would already be super burnt out…

[@hectorsarinana4486]

I’m somewhat local to this park and I remember when they first built it the park was pretty solid and everything skated well. As time went by it wasn’t taken care of particularly well and made some obstacles a bit rough.Although it’s a bit rough it does give off more street vibes that way where nothing is perfect in the streets and you gotta really go for it to land some stuff. That rail was definitely swapped at some point. It was originally in the middle.

[@WordandSpiritGuy]

Yeah a cilp on that stair set wouldn't really look like a skatepark would it

[@misap113]

It’s amazing you still recorded even though you were sleepy, your creativity and drive is really inspiring. Don’t burn yourself out!! Take care of yourself

[@galvanizedgnome]

[@RobertSmith-ge8hj]

For someone who is a predominant street skater I’ve never seen someone who obsesses over every little aspect of each obstacle. For me skating Street was about making the trick work despite it not being the perfect skate park like set up. That is what makes it challenging and cool.

[@standardshirley2480]

yes, so much, the same trick on a ledge looks way better when you have to ollie from a bit further out because of a crack and then nollie off a curb into light traffic. Perfect ledges and rails in x games and olympics produce something that feels more like ice skating.

[@ReezyResells]

But this is a skatepark review not a street spot review

[@tye829]

Exactly. Growing up kids would skate in the little downtown area of my town and there was this loading dock we would do tricks off. This other group wouldn't skate it because they said the runway was too short. Just thought that was foreign... like what? This is the loading dock we have... we don't have another one... never gave a thought to its particulars

[@naviis9441]

I live in pacoima and the 9stair middle rail was normal but cut by locals. There used to be a fire hydrant on the manny pad where the the dip is but got stolen. Ledges were also ruined by the new gen kids that go there.

One of my favorite videos of yours. Authentic, inspiring and pretty entertaining. 👏 👏 Crazy how consistent you are. Tall trick pallet, too. 💪

[@YTN3rd]

I had never thought of that but making a skate park of your favourite skate spots. Thats awesome.

[@ConsciousSharing]

the production of your videos is so incredibly engaging and thoughtfully. I love that you match your tricks to the beat of the music

[@dirtbag3548]

For those who wondering about the ledges we flipped it around because the original side got fucked up from us and the bikers grinding it a lot.

[@HobbyDrop]

I seriously look forward to everyone of your videos. Thanks for doing what you do!

It’s weird that people will just go sit up at a skatepark and not even watch the skateboarding 😂

[@RazPerignon]

Perfect skatepark, because it doesn’t feel like your at a skatepark

[@A-LittleMoreContext]

I've love getting to see grind you've been on. I feel like I can see that your level of skating has increased from where it was a year or two ago and I feel like there has been a more positive vibe to your videos lately too. I hope that means things in your life are better than where they were before and you keep that motivation.

[@Anothervictim87]

This is my hometown skate park. This place was crackin when it first opened in 2009. Now it's like a wasteland. This park also use to be a no go zone back in the day because of all the gangs that use to hang out there.

Even once a week upload is great man thanks for another inspiring one

[@dirtbag3548]

It’s sad that park is empty now I used to skate there almost everyday for years because I lived 2 blocks from it. The rail in the middle was cut by us. We used to start fires in the gap and the loading dock that’s why it looks dark and has holes now.

Sick footage bro! I love all your videos! You have a such a clean style! Don’t burn yourself out either your a monster! Also where exactly is this park at anyways?

[@GreenMachineOG]

the whole 9-stair + hubba area looks like it's straight out of skate 3, there was a prebuilt asset in the park creator that featured both spots together. It even included a similar gazebo top on it

[@laxerdude45]

If I remember correctly, this skatepark was a Lance Mountain Brainchild, and not necessarily P-Rod, although it certainly was a Nike SB project. There was an article written about it in Transworld when it was first built.

[@laxerdude45]

It's also loosely replicated in EA Skate 3 in the "Danny Way's Hawaiian Dream" bonus level

[@donavanguevara1806]

wrong skatepark

Definitely prod skate park I went for its grand opening on go skate day about 15 years ago. P rod senior was there. And it's in Pacoima not LA but no biggie

Lol your warm up consists of wrecking that ledge. You kill it

That park looks nice but it’s actually kinda funky and hard to skate, and now it’s about 20 years old I think, so it’s pretty crunchy too. That 9 is no joke too. Great skating. 🔥🔥🔥

I am a track and field athlete and I have found over the years that I don’t feel the pain and discomfort that my teammates do when we are doing difficult,painful and strenuous workouts because I don’t give too much attention to the pain and still feel like I can do more while others feel that they can’t and won’t do more. So I agee that what you are saying is accurate.

You should go check out the skateparks in Bakersfield. There’s 3 and they each kind of have their own style to them. Heritage is kinda small though, so if you were going to skip one that’d be the one.

Ghetto park but dope skate spot! The 9 stair is a Sylmar High School Replica. You should have showed the long manual pad and ledge that rides along it. It makes good for practicing and grinds go long and easy.
