This Whole Town Is Haunted (Auburn CA)

[@normanl.6891]

Really appreciate the local groundsman keeping the DIY tidy and skateable. Hyped on your community clip outro idea! And congrats on the Tactics affiliation. Will use your link when I order another set of the Reynolds sliders. So good.

[@dadboard]

Yeah that dude was rad. He was just sweeping the spot when I pulled up and seemed really stoked to have some company. Good dude.

[@andrewkissel741]

That Tribe tee and last spot were both super sick!

[@something_in_the_radiator1665]

beat me to it!

[@dadboard]

I wanna go back and get a trick off that little curb to driveway thing. I was already pretty cooked by the time I got to that school

[@THE8BITWARRIOR1]

Thanks for making my ACL reconstruction seem faster to recover ☮️ your vids got me by the last 6 months! I’ll be skating again next month ☮️

[@dadboard]

Man that’s rough but glad to hear you’re recovering! Hang in there and get back on the board asap!

[@thaiguyry209]

Phife Dawg! That nose slide was super nice. Something about the sound and angle from that clip was awesome.

[@dadboard]

Thanks, Ryan! Always appreciate you, my dude!

[@AustinCushenbery]

Pretty cool to see this on the tube now. I was lucky enough to help build some of those.

[@donaldwhyte3634]

Just came across your channel. I dig it. Keep it up.👍🏼

[@dadboard]

Thanks dude, appreciate you stopping by!

[@williamday1412]

Great adventure around the town made a great video and edit Dad Board Those locals so lucky to have a diy that decent and also with ol’ mate happy just to have a chat pretty cool.

[@dadboard]

Thanks for tuning in, dude! That DIY is pretty sick, just needs another QP on the other side and maybe a couple more little things to make it complete. If I lived closer I’d definitely contribute

[@levicuen5931]

Auburn resident for the last 3 years, I love it up here.

[@doripanda]

Up the mountain further into Grass Valley and Nevada City it gets even more spooky lol

[@dadboard]

Nevada City is super chill, but yeah the further you go north the wilder it gets

[@Riv_Flow]

North San Juan dude 🤣🤣

[@ashleybrown4754]

Reno citizen. Can confirm.

[@NateMarcott530]

Dude I’m 2 miles from that spot had no idea it was there There’s a bigger skate park in the Main/Historic part of town. That old building is a lumber sales place. Keep posting man this is great

[@LeonPaxton]

The adventure aspects of your videos keeps me hooked! Prospector music goes hard too 😂

[@dadboard]

Thank you, Leon, I appreciate that, man. I like to make it just as much about the spots as it is about the skating. Not too many other things like skateboarding that take you through the cuts and corners of a city that you otherwise wouldn’t have any incentive to explore.

[@LeonPaxton]

@@dadboard Hell yeah man, it's so interesting to see! That's so true. Some of the best adventures come from spot hunting as well

[@ianm659]

Cool spots! As a fellow dad skater, been enjoying your videos. Heelflip up the two stair was proper 🤙🏾

[@dadboard]

Thanks, man! 🍻

[@ryanwalters3531]

Love that you are local to Sac and just document your adventures finding street spots on your own. It’s a pleasure to watch. Keep it up DadBoard. 🙏

[@simonvidetta1976]

Great edit! Loved the nose slide and grind on the ‘it’s the bikes that done it’ tall wall/ledge. The Nollie over the ledge towards the end was sick too, great idea for showing other clips at the end 👊🏻

[@Kahweekah2o2f]

5:40 that’s the lodge in the background. Glad I found this

[@NoxiousPond]

Dude this is easily the coolest video you’ve done. You should do more of these weird skate spot tour kinda things

[@dadboard]

Thanks dude. I try to get out on missions like this when I can but it ain’t easy to travel very far with all my real life obligations. I’m just lucky my wife is supportive of my addiction.

[@the_kid-i1k]

the pop out makes the humble noseslide look so nice

[@dadboard]

Yeah man when you’re my age you gotta figure out ways to make simple tricks more appealing 😂 🙏

[@CTCAC2000]

I love the DIY concept. Back in the late 90s, there was a pretty big community built DIY park in downtown Sac at 19th and R. It was so much fun. There's a Safeway there now.

[@dadboard]

I remember! I was like 12 but I got to skate around it a couple times. I think it was on land owned by the post office and they shut it down.

[@overlandmk4]

Wicked episode, chill spots and skating🤟

[@dadboard]

Thanks for tuning in, dude! 🍻

[@mateusds909]

Great music choice!

[@soberskater]

Really cool idea w the outro... I'm gonna have to land something cool now... 👍😎

[@phakoo23]

Grew up going to that movie theatre! Rad nose slide with the background full of memories. Gotta try and find that DIY on Google maps!

[@begis420]

You should have checked out the Grass Valley skatepark while up there. I would go while visiting family back in the day. It looks like the locals keep up on the maintenance.

[@dadboard]

The last time I was there was maybe 2 years ago, it’s sick but the majority of stuff there is beyond my skill level for transition. If I’m up near GV I’ll stop by again for sure

[@Riv_Flow]

I’m from Madera/Fresno but work up in Nevada City on the weekends and GV skatepark is one of my favs in all California 🫡

[@skateturd916]

​@@Riv_Flow skate it while you can cause they're demolishing it and building a whole new park. Not sure exactly when but they recently got the new design.

[@j-mac7401]

Killer T'shirt brutha!

[@hanzyhanzdriscoll3938]

Hello from Grass Valley, when I was a kid skating that school with Cardiel and Toad , John boardslid that massive rail, no cameras no nothing just got it for fun

[@Deveron-er7rc]

I love when you take trips out reglur area. But I do miss you skating the big red crub. Because of you I was riding the bus home I rod pass this small look like a frame to ledge. You inspire me to wax her down. Can't wait for your next video

[@dadboard]

It’s been awhile since I visited big red. That spot looks way better than it is to skate tbh. It’s always kinda sticky and the ground tilts downwards at an angle so you gotta approach it weird. I do kinda miss it though, maybe I’ll do a night mission soon

[@Deveron-er7rc]

@dadboard please do and thank you for inspiring me and older skateboarders to keep skateboarding. You doing the Lord's work. Peace and blessings

[@Kyle-wu4rr]

Got some spitfire 93s with your Tactics link. They slide super well and are a lot of fun. Thanks for reviewing them.

[@dadboard]

Hell yeah, thanks dude! I was riding those in this video. I basically swap em out for 95% of street spots these days. I like 99’s for parks but the 93’s just make street skating so much more enjoyable

[@shshshaw1984]

That tall white ledge is definitely a bust. Auburn local here. Glad you enjoyed the town. Keep ripping brother

[@dadboard]

@@shshshaw1984 I was surprised I got a session on that thing tbh. Must have just been good timing. Auburn is fun, I spent a lot of time there as a little kid.

[@shshshaw1984]

@@dadboard for sure that's cool you got a few clips on it. I'm 38 and use to skate all around auburn when I was in grade school and high school. So many hidden gems of skate spots lots of schools and churches but they use to give tickets back then idk about now. But anyway you got a new sub from me brother 🤜🤛

Was there a couple days ago cool to see some action from people out of town

[@dadboard]

I didn’t even scratch the surface on exploring that place. Definitely gonna go back and just drive around spot hunting. So many little nooks and crannies up there

[@PsychoCitySkateboards]

The music you have playing 🤣🤣🤣

[@dadboard]

I’ve been waiting for a chance to use some bluegrass in a video 😂

[@CULTVR3]

Oh man, I was in Auburn a few weeks ago(NorCal native) to visit my favorite brewery Moonracker 🤤 Highly recommend!

[@dadboard]

Never heard of it but I’m gonna have to check it out. Always down to support a local brewery

[@CULTVR3]

@@dadboard If you like Hazy IPAs they are the best. Similar to Fieldwork (they have pub in sac) but Moonraker is a bit less sweet imo. 🍻

[@travis3216]

You around auburn? I’m about to move back with some family and we have a backyard skatepark out there. Would love to have you over and skate!

[@darreneffle4118]

Hey your missing northfork and oakhurst . Lots of crazy spooky haunted stuff here.

[@evantuazon]

homie dripped out!!!

[@mpretasky]

Raised in Auburn CA.. I also went that school- Placer High school.. There is a bigger skate park at the over look at the American River . going towards and behind the fair grounds.

[@dadboard]

@@mpretasky oh yeah I’ve been to the skatepark about a dozen times over the years but never really skated the streets up there. Sadly they haven’t really mained the park and the ground is pretty crust these days.

[@FabledCity]

That campus looks so fun.

[@Rasec1120]

the crook pop out was sick.

Thanks man!

Haha that’s the spot! I left that broom there

I stopped in there to use the bathroom while getting gas on my way home to Reno and the light bulb popped, then the light fixture fell off of the ceiling and broke. That place is creepy.

[@lucasbgw3442]

I can't find the description

[@TheHundredEyes]

There's a pretty decent skate park there at the overlook park on Pacific Ave.

[@beamoscrilla7691]

I used to live across the street from the high school. I used to take my daughter on walks through there when she was a baby. I never got any spooky or haunted vibes there at all. Or anywhere else in town really. But lots of good places to eat and lots of friendly people. Great place to live and raise a family. You missed the skatepark at the overlook though. Maybe a 2 minute drive from the schoool. It’s the place I always saw kids skating at.

Pop out is insane

It feels like California is just a giant skate park at this point. You can go to a random podunk town and find great spots.

[@dadboard]

To be fair Auburn is a pretty big place. There’s some even weirder little towns further out that way that probably have some gold too

Yoo Madera (20 min from Fresno) skatepark might be a little too transition but it’s definitely local spots to hit even pros come to this small town and Fresno to film at colleges or the streets!

[@dumbdata34]

Weird grass is a bad omen eh
