THE TRUE WORST SKATEPARK OF ALL TIME!

[@freshbud6113]

Lol. So many of us grew up without any sort of skatepark at all. As bad as this is, I would have killed for it growing up. It has actual obstacles that aren't curbs.

[@jayorsilentbob8334]

[@golendorfjules1838]

The video isn't about people who don't have parks, i mean, there are thousand of videos like this from braille alone (maybe hundred braille alone lol), your post is implying they shouldn't do this out of pure respect for people who don't have or didn't grew up with skateparks, which is ridiculous, I'm from paris, I myself did roller before i got into skating when i was younger and i almost never went to skatepark for either of them because street skating was enough to enjoy, and because parks are always crowded. You got to enjoy this video for what it is, and got to admit this is one of the worst skatepark ever made.

[@derpderpin1568]

@@golendorfjules1838 No. His post is implying that this isn't a terrible park. Like not even top 1000 worst skateparks out there. There are literally thousands of towns that have nothing more than a broken mini ramp stuck in a gravel parking lot. This is drastically superior to what a lot of towns have.

Projects like these are often the result of municipal government leaders awarding the contract to build a skatepark to their buddy who’s a general contractor (and who doesn’t know or car to know the first thing about skating). The GC obviously subcontracts everything out and pays wayyy less than what the contract pays

Nigel I get you and take this from an engineer who had his fair share of beefs with city councils, they are not, by any stretch of the imagination, 100% comprised with competent or even educated people. Some of them are borderline corrupt and do this kind of projets all the time to benefit friends and family that have construction companies.

[@Jacentheintern]

It’s like you’re describing the place I used to live. The skate park was, in fact, built by a construction company owned by the mayor’s family and in a double whammy they used eminent domain to force a small business owner off their land to build it. The park sucks.

[@brucedunn2293]

Some kind of transparency organization comprised of skaters/engineers should be formed to monitor park builds, bringing attention to problems like this before they’re set in stone.

Mfers built a liminal skatepark. To be honest, I kinda like how simplistic it is while being surrounded by a nice field of grass. If they'd at least implement more space to have it less cramped and actually have room to land a trick properly, this could be a neat spot.

[@twoskies3226]

I live in a small town, and to me that looks like one of the very common, "continuing project" sort of things. They probably intend to pave and expand obstacles as money becomes available, but no money ever does.

[@stephen12morrison]

So just beyond the treeline of this park is a series of office buildings and I worked in one for 8 years. I had a friend of mine that would always sneak off somewhere and take a mid day nap. One time he went to the skatepark and took a nap in the snake run and was woken up by police because a news helicopter flew by and called him in to police as a potential dead body 😂😂😂

[@elementneon]

Without McNugg & Mogely these videos are lacking the positivity to balance out all the negativity now. Even JD is putting out more negativity now. Hoping y'all find the positivity to balance the vibes out moving forward. For what its worth, a lot of these parks y'all say are the worst, make some of the most interesting videos aesthetically. The place is unique, like nothing I have seen, makes for a great video even if the park would work as a daily local.

I don't know about the worst, but you could check out Breslin Park in Louisville, Ky.

Also, if memory serves me correctly, it was designed by the people at Home Skate Shop, our local shop.

[@brailleskateboarding]

Interesting

[@gcracker2512]

It's a shame they build stuff like this with no clue as to how skateboarding works. In all honestly, if they took this design, and just scaled it up a bit, I think it'd be a fun park. Like if they made that snake/slalom run taller and wider, also with a bit more of a transition that's actually skateable, then made more room on top for that box. Honestly, It'd be a cool design for a small local park. But whoever built it killed that by building it so badly. In reality it's a waste of money and resources. Like scale this thing up by 2x and it'd be a solid local park.

[@ronin_gthayc3020]

It would be mega sweet if you guys would come to the UK and do a uk wide tour of every skate park. And I'm talking "every" one.
