More than anything, these videos just show how good Gravette is.

[@mattstanbridge]

I came here to write the same thing. His ability to carry out what he imagines is impressive.

[@legend7951]

He's one of my favorites, he makes skating look fun when he's not having a meltdown

[@trainwreck2k2]

No kidding. He kickflipped into that bank right of the rip like he was landing on flat.

[@jamponyexpress7956]

good way to put it. @@mattstanbridge

[@drippyscratchcat]

That shifty frontside wheel slide down the "pyramid" bank was crazy. Shows how damn great he really is. Very adaptive and versatile.

[@ReesgAnimator]

We need a budget ass contest series at parks like this, see skaters adapted to it.

[@Tryingtogetradical]

Street league is no longer impressive, I need to see Yuto string together a 9 here

[@calebfitch7504]

Great idea!!

[@user-zg5pm4jz9c]

😅 fax tho

[@Lemurs]

How dope would that be

[@PaintGuy]

This is a great idea.

[@cityofphilomath204]

Thanks for visiting Philomath, David. We hope to have you back at the groundbreaking of our new Grindline skatepark in a couple years. Just finished the prelim design and we're preparing to submit a funding grant to the state next year. We might use your video of our park to help make the case for a new park. Thanks! See you in a couple years.

[@chrisj683]

What a legend! Props for showing up. Seriously though, on a positive note, the best thing about this park is that it can be used as the start point for the C2C trail.

[@avva4090]

I wish this comment had more visibility! Thanks for investing in things that make communities better ❤

[@Domotravels]

my city would never!

[@ibuprofen-noodles]

omg the city reacted

[@McChud87]

That little power slide drop in was so sick

[@HookedOnFonik]

So stylish

[@TsuFox1]

Re-watched it like 5 times. Soooo slick

[@hjv7121]

I somehow missed it on my first watch. Read so many comments about it that I had to go back and check it out. Indeed super sick. Don’t understand how he even came up with the idea to do that!

[@littleevilboy]

Literally came here just to say that

[@TheXIAOone]

Exactly what I said out loud. So rad

[@dattajack]

My best friend and I went to city council meetings to get this park, even presented a cool design. The contractor ended up using their 10 year old's design instead. This is literally a park designed by a clueless 10 year old, not the older experienced skaters that actually helped get the park approved. Silver lining is they built the Corvallis park soon after across street from my house. Dad is the closest house to the Corvallis park so the philomath park fiasco was easier to forget. Still a crying shame.

[@shawnfromportland]

Dam

[@jamponyexpress7956]

I don't blame you for sour feelings, even after 3 decades.

[@kylesalmon31]

Corvallis park is pretty sweet.. a lot of people living down there though lately

[@howiwatchvideos]

Hey that 10 year old kid put almost a hour of his time into designing this park. Put some respect on his name.

[@skylerrodriguez9889]

More like 10 min of his time@@howiwatchvideos

[@theMrGrowl]

he actually crushed. That skatepark has been waiting a long time for this day

[@michaelgpartridge2384]

Well said, brother👌

[@jackhorsley3912]

These videos with Dave are the only skate videos I can enjoy that aren't all cringe and a bunch of dudes trying to act all serious like fashion models. This is what skateboarding is about, such an amazing skater

[@ELOSCHAZ]

Look around u. Skaters are fashion models

[@ronaldraygun3591]

It was pretty cringe watching him try to dry that puddle with a paper bag tho

[@jackflicker8577]

eh it's what he had@@ronaldraygun3591

[@jackflicker8577]

truer words have never been spoken

[@leafyconcern]

Yes! It’s what skateboarding is actually like

[@horsetranqualizer]

between the banter and the shredding this is probably one of the most entertaining skate series ive ever seen. gravette's the man

[@sn1000k]

No doubt

[@tommangan7]

My favourite series on youtube, gives me a comfortable nostalgic feeling that i cant quite explain

[@joejoe2658]

you just did

[@HookedOnFonik]

Agreed

[@brandonandalexander]

The pacific northwest tends to produce that feeling, especially during winter months. If you stop by the redwoods this time of year it feels like your in fucking Narnia

[@saucehardt]

@@joejoe2658smart ass joejoe 😂

[@jerjee]

there’s no obnoxious music or some fake personality being put on. Just pure vibes and skating

[@matthewmeredith297]

I like how he gauged his speed in knots. We need more nautical jargon in skateboarding.

[@jackwatson7323]

The rail was roughly a fathom long

[@treyhayes101]

petition to change frontside and backside to port and starboard

[@MrJackWorse]

I did a starboard sternslide down that two fathom long railing.@@treyhayes101

[@KTom-ob4gj]

Let's not forget a bow and stern slides/stalls

[@FundyisleLegacy]

Came here mention I loved the nautical touch

[@kendallcordova8253]

Depressing, hilarious, and amazing all at the same time

[@HellaDesigns]

Every time I see these I'm reminded Gravette is no doubt one of the most skilled and creative dudes on a board, Its actually unbelievable how good he is lol

[@scogg837]

I feel a little guilty that I derive such joy from watchin Gravette lose his shit over a trick. It's only bc I can empathize. Thanks for the vid!

[@jackhorton5728]

It reminded me of the kinked rail video LMAO

[@jbean9021]

I work with a guy just like this. Awesome, nice guy with these insane, over-the-top freak outs and it’s hilarious.

[@kevinrice7291]

Please do more of these. I’ll buy a pack of bearings for every episode

[@mattstanbridge]

His ability to carry out what he imagines is impressive.

[@wiley8561]

there is nothing this man can't skate. truly a wizard and genuinely funny as hell

[@jeddrockwell4543]

Hijacking to say look up the old issaquah skatepark he grew up at and you’ll know why lol

[@heathschmidt7516]

Love how he always skate’s the crap out of these nasty parks and makes them look fun!!!

[@ganjjabarsmedium2347]

Gravette is a legend. Love seeing these crusty old pieces of Northwest skate history. Thanks Bronson! 🤘🔥

[@HookedOnFonik]

I absolutely love these episodes with Dave. Just raw, fun, and funny.

[@Creechuur]

Ah, I've missed this. Gravette is a true hero, suffering for our amusement.

[@OsoGP]

This series is why I will always ride Bronson

[@sn1000k]

As soon as I get my skate warehouse settlement check...

[@NISHIAKI]

bad skateparks are good street spots in disguise. and vice versa

[@dannyblitz2122]

Im writing this down

[@kingdomcoomies518]

This man has been one of my favs since his “And Now” part! V stoked to see this

[@ryanwhitacre773]

I've always had a problem with skaters bitching about bad skateparks. Treat it as you would a street spot and be creative. Bad park Dave shows how to do that. Probably my favorite youtube series. Keep em coming!

[@thepancakemann]

I have the opposite problem. I have an issue with pedestrians bitching about skaters skating street spots and telling them to go skate in a skatepark. Meanwhile the skateparks are on the edges of the city and look like this.

[@PoppySquidJr]

The only issue I have with them is that they're only fun and creative if you're already a good enough skater to not need a park. Skateparks should be the safer place to learn in a structured environment before hitting the streets, imo

[@Quxrk]

Yeah bro you’re missing the point. Sure this place offers fun challenges but skateparks are supposed to be perfect obstacles for you to get good on so you can then take it to the streets. Also if you were some 12 year old trying to learn how to skate how on earth would this park help you?

[@hristophercunozm]

This is literally my favorite skateboard series of all time. I hope they keep coming 😂

[@everegenx]

Cant get enough of these

[@drewtabke3294]

Love this series thanks for providing

[@aaronschwanke3563]

Absolutely love David Gravette!! just an absolute treat of a human and a skater!!! 👌 so glad I grew up watching you and get to watch you now!

[@Alebobb]

This kind of videos are too good, we need more.

[@DerJansemann]

Like a wizard David is putting some magic onto those unique obstacles. Just awesome. :D

[@peterjarnes25]

Keep these videos up, I freaking love it!

[@waynesmith7353]

Always love these vids keep up the awesome work boss man 🔥♥️🤟

[@killukrue]

What a great Promo for Creature Skateboards Tremendous strength at the end lol. that Unbreakable chinese wood lol

[@alecbaker13]

[@stevejohnston1272]

Dave is a piece of work-love the guy!

[@artemface]

Love the series and always blown away how much more Gravette can do that your average pro, dude is legit so good

[@klement1337]

Best video of 2024 all ready, I love this serie!

[@Lbundy]

This one actually looks pretty fun especially since no one prob goes there 😂

[@alexraia1377]

Until you take a fall on that cheese grater concrete

[@PHS.44]

Favourite skater, top man

[@stavjoon]

I love this series a lot keep em coming plz

[@shawnpattisonball4370]

Love these reviews. Keep em coming.

[@ohmaramusic]

Honestly if stuff like this existed in the streets it would get skated for sure.

[@laggy3099]

Yeah that rail/ledge combo thingie looked unironically sick

[@benmcreynolds8581]

This is amazing. You actually made it to Philomath skatepark lol born and raised in Corvallis, Oregon. Always hoped you checked this absurd place out.

[@shawnfromportland]

[@Toyotarunner13]

[@Beradikals]

The jig dance pre focusing the board was hilarious.
