They Finally Remodeled This Skate Park

[00:00:12]We're at the Glendora skatepark. We came here 2 months ago. They were doing construction on it. We didn't know what exactly they were doing. We didn't know if they were doing like a brand new skatepark or like just a remodel. Still the same skatepark. They all have like brand new black coping.

[00:00:27]This rail still sucks by the way. That pyramid thing over there kind of a wonky design but brand new coping which is nice.

[00:00:34]>> It is in a terrible spot.

[00:00:36]>> Yeah, I know. I know.

[00:00:55]I feel like this was here originally but who knows? Maybe they put it here for this.

[00:01:24]This is crazy.

[00:01:35]Glendora maintenance man call me if you need me to come to your skatepark and pick rocks up. I got you.

[00:01:42]It's cool.

[00:01:50]Oh, it's so steep for nose manual.

[00:02:18]>> I guess I have no speed.

[00:02:23]Wow.

[00:02:49]Oh my god.

[00:02:52]I might fuck around that curb.

[00:02:54]Brand new. Park just reopened in February. It's March.

[00:02:58]Look at this. Like That sucks. They're just like It's already fucking falling apart.

[00:03:17]That felt like crazy.

[00:03:18]>> Yeah. These things like just suck.

[00:03:20]>> What is that?

[00:03:20]>> Like a ledge boogers. I don't know.

[00:03:22]>> Yeah.

[00:03:23]>> Look at that.

[00:03:54]Dude. so little.

[00:04:33]>> It's like watery Gatorade.

[00:04:35]>> Watery Gatorade?

[00:04:36]>> Nasty. It looks good. It's probably getting my lips red, but it's just tastes like ass water. No, no.

[00:04:42]>> [laughter] >> What do you think about it?

[00:04:43]>> water.

[00:04:45]What do I think of what?

[00:04:46]>> Well, explain No.

[00:04:48]>> When it's a bump to ledge, I feel like if you're going to do that, like you want the ledge to be tall cuz it if if the ledge would be easy to get onto without a bump, then it's like you don't need a bump.

[00:04:58]So, when you put a bump to a ledge that's like low, it kind of makes it more challenging.

[00:05:03]When you have stuff like this, it's like kind of a steep quick pyramid to a a fucking kinked ledge that's a foot tall.

[00:05:08]Like that's It's almost like when we were skating Hermosa where it's like you have a bump to a ledge that's only this tall and basic shit becomes challenging because even just like lifting your nose up off the ground, it's above the ledge. So, it's like every trick you do kind of slams onto it and it changes the way you do tricks.

[00:05:27]Like when you skate a ledge from flat, you're having to like pop up to it. You don't like come crashing down on it. So, it's almost like skating a set of stairs onto a ledge. That's what it feels like when you skate a bump to a little ledge. It's like you know, you can still do it, but it's just it's like it's harder than just skating it on flat. What do I know?

[00:05:47]I'm at fucking Finkbeiner Skatepark.

[00:05:49]Kind of That's the name of this park.

[00:05:52]On a Friday afternoon. Is it Friday?

[00:05:54]>> Yeah, it's Friday.

[00:05:55]>> Hey, I got it right.

[00:06:58]Oh my god, I'm going to sack this thing.

[00:07:15]Stupid ass.

[00:07:25]>> I thought it was kind of sick, but it's different. You're right.

[00:07:28]>> Told you.

[00:07:29]Told you it'd be different.

[00:07:32]I probably just lost like 100 subscribers from that one.

[00:07:35]>> Maybe you gained a different 100.

[00:07:38]>> Yeah.

[00:07:39]Yeah, fuck those original 100, actually.

[00:07:42]If you unsubscribed because of that, I don't blame you, but like good riddance.

[00:07:50]But only if I got 100 new ones.

[00:07:52]Otherwise, please come back. I'm sorry. I'll never do it again. I like when tricks like make me laugh when I do them, and that's definitely made me laugh.

[00:08:02]>> That's the whole point. Have fun.

[00:08:03]>> I guess.

[00:08:05]I had fun. Now that that's over, I can skate the shit I actually want to, which is this ledge. You can tell by some of the ground they like change out a lot of shit. I don't know if this ledge is new or if it was already here and they like changed it. It looks new because the concrete on the top isn't the same as the rest of the stuff. So, I'm assuming they just built this. It also looks new.

[00:08:25]I don't know if again, if they just like fixed it, if that's what the original one, but based on the rest of the dimensions here, I have a funny feeling that's not what that was. Cuz this shit's perfect, and the rest of the park is very old school.

[00:08:43]Most good thing about the pyramid is like So, every obstacle here I skated, the one challenging thing was like it's hard to get to.

[00:08:50]The pyramid's big as shit and in the center of the skate park. So, you can get to it from any place you want.

[00:08:55]>> Yeah.

[00:08:56]>> But it's really good from like that bank over there.

[00:08:58]>> Yeah, that looked like a perfect setup.

[00:09:00]>> I also think I want to try some shit over the top because the pyramid's kind of mellow, but the top's not too big.

[00:09:05]>> Yeah, it looks nice and like >> You know what I should do?

[00:09:07]>> What?

[00:09:07]>> I should nollie heel the top of the pyramid today.

[00:09:09]>> Yeah, you should.

[00:09:10]>> I'll do that.

[00:09:29]You think front big spin or front heel?

[00:09:31]>> Ooh, both.

[00:09:43]>> That's okay.

[00:09:44]>> That's right.

[00:09:50]>> Oh my god.

[00:10:08]>> I love how last time we were skating you were telling me to do front 50s on ledges.

[00:10:13]>> Well, yeah.

[00:10:15]>> Explain yourself.

[00:10:17]>> Well, cuz like you're doing at the end it's different. I'm trying to do the [laughter] whole thing.

[00:10:20]>> Okay.

[00:10:20]>> It's easy at the end.

[00:10:23]But the whole thing is tricky.

[00:10:26]Whatever.

[00:10:27]>> Yeah, whatever. You just want to see me die.

[00:10:35]>> Oh, what the fuck?

[00:10:36]>> What?

[00:10:38]>> That was fucking dookie.

[00:10:41]Both of those sucked butt.

[00:10:50]That was a better front three.

[00:10:51]>> Yeah, that was good.

[00:10:53]>> What's next? Big heel?

[00:10:55]>> Yeah.

[00:10:56]>> Now I know it's going to big heel.

[00:10:57]>> I like that.

[00:10:58]>> His lands are getting harder on both tricks and it's kind of a bad way to do it.

[00:11:01]>> I know.

[00:11:02]>> I should do easy tricks on one hard on the other, but >> I don't know. I'm just do what feels right.

[00:11:20]>> Was that a devil's technically?

[00:11:22]>> Yeah.

[00:11:22]>> Cuz he rode down it and then I big heeled it.

[00:11:24]>> Yeah, that was sick.

[00:11:27]>> Oh, I stuck. What the fuck?

[00:11:37]>> First try?

[00:11:38]>> Yeah, I didn't think that'd be first try.

[00:11:40]>> Yeah, that was cool.

[00:11:41]>> That front crook was like not good at all, but that felt pretty cool.

[00:11:46]>> Do you wonder why I don't talk to you in your videos?

[00:11:49]>> Okay, so I'm going to switch to backside to backside.

[00:12:04]That's a good way to start, huh?

[00:12:05]>> Yeah, you can probably see.

[00:12:07]>> That kid said that's what I'm talking about.

[00:12:08]>> Oh, that's so cute.

[00:12:10]>> A man.

[00:12:10]>> [laughter] >> Oh, yeah.

[00:12:13]I'm glad he approved.

[00:12:14]>> Yeah.

[00:12:15]>> That was cool. That sucks.

[00:12:15]>> Yeah.

[00:12:35]>> Suski to Bigfoot for tonight.

[00:12:36]>> Bigfoot to >> It was crazy. I've actually done Suski Bigfoot.

[00:12:41]Like >> Like together? That's cool.

[00:12:44]>> Weird.

[00:13:24]I got that first try.

[00:13:25]>> I don't know. That was cool.

[00:13:28]>> I would have done that line on first try line, but tre flip or big flip wasn't.

[00:13:34]But kick flip five out of double back side flip works first try, it's so stupid.

[00:13:37]>> Yeah, well, you knew you were going to have more fun skating this type of stuff, so >> Yeah, I would.

[00:13:41]>> Better obstacles, better tricks.

[00:13:43]>> Papa John's.

[00:13:44]Okay, what about Sorry.

[00:13:57]I'll come back.

[00:14:21]It's going to be 80 >> 90 million billion degrees.

[00:14:24]>> Yeah, it's hot now.

[00:14:25]>> That nollie flip felt very bizarre.

[00:14:27]>> It looked cool.

[00:14:28]>> Should I nollie hill this piece of shit?

[00:14:29]>> Yeah.

[00:14:30]>> Prove to the world I can.

[00:14:32]>> Yeah.

[00:14:32]>> You don't know one that I couldn't.

[00:14:34]>> I know, it's only you that says you can't.

[00:15:00]>> Scary.

[00:15:00]>> Yeah.

[00:15:01]>> It wasn't nollie hill though.

[00:15:03]>> Yeah, it was good.

[00:15:05]>> Kick him back three was questionable.

[00:15:08]>> Interesting.

[00:15:08]>> Yeah.

[00:15:09]Any other drink?

[00:15:10]>> Yeah.

[00:15:10]>> The ledge could be fun. I'm going to try like five or 10, but like I feel like I can kick flip nose grind nollie flip it.

[00:15:17]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:15:18]>> I could go slow, since it's downhill I I probably like get in kind of comfortable. Let me try that. Let me see how it >> Yeah, we love a flip in flip out.

[00:15:25]>> It'd be cool.

[00:15:27]Let's see how nose grind feels.

[00:15:32]Damn, you land downhill, too.

[00:15:34]>> Yeah, that's why you're cooking at the hip.

[00:15:36]>> why I was picking up so much speed.

[00:15:43]I definitely can.

[00:15:49]Holy shit, I almost did it.

[00:15:50]>> Yeah, I told you you could do the shit fast.

[00:16:09]>> What the hell?

[00:16:11]That was weird.

[00:16:12]>> Yeah.

[00:16:18]>> Ah, that was so good.

[00:16:20]>> Oh.

[00:16:20]>> I locked right in.

[00:16:27]Oh, no. I tapped, but I do think I I kind of figured IT OUT.

[00:16:30]>> YEAH.

[00:16:39]>> I THINK FOR THIS VIDEO, I'M JUST GOING TO DO KICKFLIP nose grind and get the 180 out.

[00:16:42]>> Okay.

[00:16:43]>> I feel like I've done a lot in this video, but I do want to do this on something.

[00:16:47]>> Yeah, I think it's good like feeler for it. Like I mean, you did the one where you tapped, but like >> I know I can do it.

[00:16:53]>> You could definitely like yeah.

[00:16:55]>> I might try to like film this for a part.

[00:16:57]>> Yeah, that'd be a cool one.

[00:16:59]See, days like this also helping you figure out stuff like that. It's good.

[00:17:02]>> It's true. I would have to figure out like the perfect ledge to do it on, but it's got to be out there.

[00:17:06]>> We can find something.

[00:17:30]>> Yeah.

[00:17:33]>> All right.

[00:17:34]>> That's sick.

[00:17:38]>> Kind of our skate park.

[00:17:40]Overall, I'll pretend like I didn't just do that line first try.

[00:17:45]Be nonchalant.

[00:17:47]>> Yeah, Mr. Nonchalant, we like it.

[00:17:49]>> It was easy.

[00:17:51]Overall, this park's like it's fine.

[00:17:54]The hip's really fun. This is really fun. This not so fun when you're trying to do like something more tech maybe, but just grinding it the road you around the park downhill puts you at the hip.

[00:18:06]You could just do that. Like you could come here just skate this to this and you will have a blast.

[00:18:12]>> So you're rating on that?

[00:18:14]>> Yeah, it's this is NASCAR. That's all it is.

[00:18:16]>> Yeah.

[00:18:17]>> Except the right turns only. That's all you're doing here.

[00:18:20]That's why you come here is just to make right turns right here. That's it. Rinse and repeat, hit the hip, come back, start over.

[00:18:27]You're going to have a good time.

[00:18:29]Anything else here?

[00:18:31]Probably not worth it unless you're close or local or something, but I'm sure that mini ramp's kind of fun.

[00:18:37]It was just like because all this coping is new, I would have had to have waxed it and I'm not going to wax the coping.

[00:18:43]The kink thing is like interesting, I guess.

[00:18:47]It's unique, so it's like it was fun to grind, but you're not going to like go out of your way to come skate this, you know?

[00:18:54]>> are just off, right?

[00:18:55]>> Yeah, it's like the kink is kind of like quick and steep. And then everything else is kind of whatever. Flat bars and the ledges are all kind of bass.

[00:19:02]The down rails are like just a as you can see, just a goofy proportion, so oh, you can see the track from here.

[00:19:09]>> Oh, yeah. What I'm talking about.

[00:19:11]Yeah.

[00:19:12]>> It's like 40 years and it's just right before it's going to get worse over time, but Yeah, Glendale Skatepark. Come here and skate this in the hip and you're going to have a fucking blast.

[00:19:21]So, based on just the hip and the ledge alone, probably like a seven out of 10.

[00:19:26]>> Dang, that's high.

[00:19:27]>> But, if you factor in everything else, it becomes like a three.

[00:19:31]Rest of the park's pretty fucking hot ass water.

[00:19:39]Okay, bye.

[00:19:40]>> Okay, bye.
