They Should Do This to Every Old Skatepark!

[@No-barkNoonan]

You look super comfy on your board and like you're really enjoying skating at the moment, its great to see, wholesome and infectious.

At 56 I've started skating again after a 40 year break. Love your videos.

[@caesaremrichfam5057]

Sick. That’s sweet.

[@paunchcoorlightly4000]

thanks for continuing to upload. I know motivation can go up and down with years of doing this but we love to watch em.

[@bendegros]

I have the desire to make videos but not the time and the will to actually do it.

[@sk8forlife-01]

The man can still rip!! Kudos to whoever maintains that park and spent the time and $$ to make the improvements.

[@jamierobinson5452]

After a 15 year break , I Started back skating about 2 months ago. I’ve been straight up bingeing your videos. Glad to see the new post! ❤

[@chaddsinclairofficial]

I see myself in the background at 2:44 LOL was dope meeting you btw!!

Hi Chad!!!!

9:25 💕👏👍 Wooo 🥳 Nice to see you Ben and hear Adriano. Hope you guys are well. Much love 🤙

[@Adrenaline_Biker]

We asked for lights to be added to our local. They’re adding a bowl with no lights 🤣😭

[@non_brewed_condiment]

Been trying to get lights for so long

[@GamingFlatOut]

WELL, ……….looks like they made it gnarlier before they’d make it safer 💀😂 What city is this one in ?

[@anthonyholder7629]

They dont want you there at night lol

[@Jeremya74]

They don't want people out at night..the bad hurts the good as usual

[@waltdebruin8847]

Thanks ben for inspiring me to switch to thunder’s. Made the world’s difference. God bless 🙏

[@CF565]

Oh man, the unbroken smooth sound of his wheels when he's riding the bowl, you just know it's buttery!

[@antonmyhrvold]

The park looks so fun :) You have a really good bs heel and switch fs flip Ben! Keep the good content up brother 🔥❤

[@zevan9592]

Awesome! Glad you could make it back out to railside!! It's really nice now. So much fun to skate.

[@SeaOrcRonnie]

Great video man. Love watching you skate. Brings me back. We’re from the same era.

[@Joseseo]

I was just thinking about you! Definitely my favorite KZbinr, keep it up.

[@bendegros]

Thanks 😊

[@ClippitOfficeAssistant]

They are doing this at my local! Big dirty old Millenium park in Calgary. Was long overdue, there was huge chunks of concrete missing everywhere. So stoked!

[@River_uwu]

Oh hell yeah! I live in Calgary too

[@Hartwell10]

No way! Millz is legendary. That’s great news. I live in Edm and always stop there for a sesh when I’m in Calgary.

[@SavouryLobster]

That whole park needs an overhaul. Some iconic spots but some super out of date spots too

[@scotthaggar]

Hope you are right, red bowl is such a good shape, but just too dang slow… 🤠

[@ClippitOfficeAssistant]

@@scotthaggar beginner section is done, they are doing the bathtub right now. Assuming they will do vert section next!

[@gallowsend]

that was fantastic skating imo, Ben. inspiring. skatepark is alive again!

[@tacticsboardshop]

That park looks super fun! Keep shredding and keep up the good work! 🛹🙌

[@elMRKILLER]

Too busy being an “Adult” but watching you shred brings back many memories cheers

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Very cool that they reinvested in the park. Always good to watch you freely skate through a session. Stay Rad Sir.

[@samuelmazack]

Awesome Ben. Always high end content we love to watch. Keep them vids coming out.

[@ls.c.5682]

Stockwell in London got resurfaced back in 2022 after needing it for some time, and it absolutely rules. Great to skate, great sessions, loads of big names roll through and blow minds. Shin Sanbongi there was absolutely peak!

[@Catalog3005]

If that’s a Todd Francis pigeon t-shirt, that’s sick!!! Kinda jealous 😭

[@Shademax4273]

Cool to see dude still killing it.

[@TheAnimeist]

9:49 Switch heel flip over the euro gap was super sweet.

[@najtrows]

Such a chill vibe to this. Can't wait until I lost some weight and can try flip tricks "for real" again :D FS Flips are one of my goals and yours looked so comfy in this vid. Also amazing Hardflip dude.

[@johnm3946]

They did the same thing to Kona skatepark, it's so much better now. I bet it's labor intensive. Looking solid, Ben!

[@Mole-Life]

The first back heel on that hip looked amazing.

[@jolandryx]

So nice that they surface it....that park is so dope and last time i was there it was almost imposible to skate...it was too grainy and rought! Good job poco city!

[@maxb5480]

you're an inspiration ben!

[@schittsville]

Had a fever for the last couple of days but seeing Ben post after a while definitely made my day!

[@jackhignell2431]

Haven’t been to rail side in years, now I’m remembering how many Great features there are. This could be one of the best parks in BC after the resurface

[@subieracer005]

That park looks so much fun!!! You can totally tell how smooth it is.. Your board wheels are so quiet!

[@paullech6736]

Good to see you getting out there.

[@AlexNiedt]

Rail Ben goes hard! 🙌 Would love to see a switch hardflip if the regular ones hurt 😄

[@mateusds909]

Love watching you skate man. Did not have the summer I was hoping to have. Hoping for a decent fall.

[@grimcity]

Sick, man. I can't imagine scouring an entire park... it sounds great! Rolling on the 8.5 of your board design right now... really enjoying the fat nose/tail.

[@world_of_manny_malibu]

That park looks perfect

[@datukalex]

Looks as smooth as one of your California patches

[@Amad-AshtaanMadison]

they did this to one of the Kona bowls, super good idea to revive old crusty parks

[@HaisteComputerRepair]

What a great improvement, if the Port Moody and Coquitlam parks could get the same treatment I would be pretty hyped

[@bendegros]

Port Moody is sooooooo bad. I used to love that park.

[@HaisteComputerRepair]

@@bendegros Right? I went there this Summer for the first time in a few years and the amount of pushing to maintain speed was kind of brutal. Still had a bit of fun though.

[@patrickbeaudoin1073]

I noticed the filmer says eh a lot just like we do in Minnesota hahaha, Ben clean trick, great video park looks fun

[@proffessasvids]

Yes Ben! Legendary! Xx

[@Love4boost]

I got the new Ishod 8.38 Easy Rider. Well done on the new shape. I avoided Deluxe boards for years because they were always too steep for me, even though I really wanted to ride them. The timing was perfect too because Spitfire put out a 97A radial for Delfino. So now I am really enjoying that combo. The 97 radial full had too much grip for me, so now I’m really getting a sample of what I’d consider my Goldilocks setup.

[@bendegros]

Awesome to hear!

[@quasar55cancrie65]

Looks like a big fun park😍

[@samyS2k]

Hey Ben I don't know if you only helped design the shape of the 8.25 real easy rider board but I got it in 8.5 and the shape is rly awesome. Big thanks and big love for your videos. I thougt you were done with making yt videos but when I wasn't shure what board to get, I saw your video and I knowing your videos for so long I instantly knew this board would fit me as well ❤

[@bendegros]

I’m glad you like it🙂 I only designed the 8.25. The 8.5 is one of their classic shapes on the new concave.

[@meII0w-xl]

nollie flip was nicely dipped

[@bendegros]

Hanging on for dear life.

[@Jeremya74]

Park looks FUN!

[@LBJ-85]

They actually resurface a lot of parks here in Queensland like that but they are only polishing turds here, that park looks really fun so well worth it.

[@AlumarsX]

Here in Kansas City they demolish the old parks, only to build an even turdier park that only takes half the size of the lot but gets filled with features you don't have a run up to.

[@Mark-wrecken]

Oh damn my local park! I had no idea this was being done.

[@robertbarrett8937]

What park? That kicker to ledge looks fun

[@_Maxten]

My park used to be rly polished and slippery and i liked it bc i was the only one practicing primo slides n then they re-did it and now its just a normal good park that everyone likes except me LOL. Slippery floors are also good for eliminating razor tail, it doesnt rly scrape and shrink the tail like a rough ground would

[@Avilamatt86]

That park looks really fun … 🤩

[@l.j.i]

Dude this looks amazing!! What park is this?! Looks like Coquitlam. The park in Richmond off of River Road needs this baaaadly... I remember Chris Haslam pumping around that park when I was a kid and now you need to push like crazy to even make it from one quarter to the next! It'd be great to see it go back to how it used to be!

[@suryowibisono7857]

You look so very happy...

[@anowysz6]

hey ben, do you know any more details about the grinding process they used? it would be good to know what its called, or what equipment they used. i figure the more people who know what to recommend to their cities, the better, so more parks can get the same treatment as yours!

[@bendegros]

I couldn’t tell you what it is exactly. It’s a commercial concrete grinding process I’m sure. It’s not super uncommon.

[@hijackjoe]

OMG, I just got a skateboard and I live down the street! I'm pysched

[@funkydankspliff]

Ben I have some backyard concrete that’s rough, do you know whats the epoxy that makes the smooth finish for outdoors skateparks?

[@bendegros]

Sorry I don’t.

[@gabriellaforce2041]

Resurfing the concrete is really an interesting option, because here it demolishes some old parks to make new ones. However, some new skateparks are well done, but a little too generic and there is practically no more flat section in those new park.??!? Flat are not impressive so they put 1000 obstacles in a space that should not have those . Anyway, good skating and video!

[@UnrealK9999]

You inspire me boss

[@later_skateboards]

Are you planning to review the new venture v8s?

[@markstaud]

Knowing the price of concrete regrinding it would be so much cheaper.

[@Theeezfoo77]

Thanks dad

[@yokaibyte2133]

Did they put on a weather coat? If they didn't, given time, acid rain would make it rough again.

@ben - do you know who did the work? There’s a bunch of parks in the PacNW that need this treatment. There’s a real niche market here for a smart contractor.

[@bendegros]

No idea.
