Good times!!

[@DoBetterAndDoMore]

@ryan.sheckler Thanks for being you Man

[@Asasonthegod]

I’ve always wanted to skate with you bro… they just opened a really nice new park in Georgetown, Texas so if you come to Austin soon it’s about 30 min away.

[@franks6349]

that park looks huge, and probably even looks bigger in person, park looks like its built for bmx

[@robertcooney1938]

As an old pro BMXer, you're right. It looks like a BMX park and pro skaters.

[@chris_cashflow666]

I thought it was the Factory for a moment

[@michaelmiguel6937]

Core memory unlocked

[@vxyz5219]

Looking back at this after so many years and it's even more insane than I recall

[@robertbrink]

IT WAS NUTS

[@1dayullsee]

Back when parks used to be crazy he always skated big. the dew tour parks were mixed with bmx sized stuff and sheckler used to kill it regardless 😂

[@FriendxA]

he still does

[@yvngtrichome7256]

It’s giving back room vibes

[@episodebeats2817]

Damn time flies.The current park is definitely more user friendly...

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

This park was so crazy!

[@robertbrink]

no doubt. even bigger/gnarlier in person

[@itmightgetdark]

reminds me of cream city skate park outside of Chicago. place was pretty much built for chaz ortiz when he was a kid and coming up. I skated it in 2008 and even saw chaz there. he was the only one skating without a helmet and he was like 14 haha.

[@XvXMONSTERXvX]

Ryan Sheckler was in his peak during this time. That step-up looks like so much fun. He made skateboarding look cool and fun during this time long with Chris Cole. Shout out to him for getting me into skateboarding side note they should build a replica of this park for a best trick competition. I would really like to see who even has the skill to get buck like that these days

[@fabriceklaus1946]

did you watch lifer ? i think sheckler is always in his peak

[@DoSomething-]

What park is this? Dam looks straight out of tony hawk pro skater custom park build!

[@augustvong7057]

[@zephyr2905]

Is that a bmx park?? Wtf 😮

[@robertbrink]

insane right?

[@gabaghoul23]

its a razor scooter park- sheesh know your parks bruh :D

[@devinanderson6716]

his first what?

[@codymitchell2650]

Training Facility

[@kiernooo]

This place looks like a blast. Can see why he rebuilt it though

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

I remember when they were called private skateparks, not training facilities. Other sports use TFs because they in fact are facilities aka multiple things to aid the athlete like PT, equipment, personnel, etc. This is just a personal skatepark.

[@toneloke454]

Man I thought I was just exaggerating with my memory of seeing this way back. Nope, my memory was correct, this thing was gigantic and insane.

[@dlizard04]

Hey bruh did you ever go here? What is it surfaced with? It sounds like it takes impacts but is smooth to ride on.

[@gabaghoul23]

i remember when i seen him at tampa back in 1999 wearing full pads doing shit over the box that i couldnt even do after 20 years of skating... his dad was like- take notice son.. my boy's going places. Well pops- you wasnt wrong!

[@judderzm2252]

Is that sheckler with a shaved head

[@colinredwood]

Dude that park is nuts

[@failforwardfast8609]

This park is awesome, Sheckler is a legend

[@coasterthekid8867]

One of my favorite tech deck sets was based on this park

[@robertbrink]

Damn I didn't know they made that!

[@droberts4888]

He really just said that.

[@poolbwoy6585]

is it just me that finds these places horribly uninviting? everybodies "training facilities" back in the day looked like prisons lol. even the fantasy factory looked like some weird dystopian attempt at reminding u that skating outdoors once existed.

[@robertbrink]

I mean ... they are fun for me and everyone I know.

[@enterpassword3313]

What were you thinking could make it more "inviting" i dont understand what you are thinking about

[@bassyey]

You probably just want an open air facility, like normal skate parks. The problem is leaving it open to element will make this hard to maintain and will shorten lifespan resulting in more maintenance and money. Because majority of these are made with wood. This being wood means they can easily shift things around if they choose to do so.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

​@@bassyey"Normal skate parks" don't you mean "public training facilities"

[@fabriceklaus1946]

this takes me back to my childhood. can we talk about the ultra boned kickflip to casual nose manny ?

[@robertbrink]

insane

[@kenthomson8598]

How many people got broke off there. Place was mini mega ramps.

[@suntzu6122]

This guy is pretty good he should consider going pro

Wtf is a "tf"?
