it's not as fun as skating, but it never hurts to be the guy who brings a broom and trash bags to a spot. i have 24 hour access to an indoor park thanks to pitching in and giving back to the community.
That was my first thought as well.
Me and a few of the older guys go at 8 am on Saturday and Sunday and clean up our park. Even tho it’s a shit hole it’s our shit hole.
you pick rubbish at the skatepark? What are you Canadian or something? They are the ones who do the strange things.
I clean up my local skate park every time I go so the township doesn't decide that we don't appreciate the tax dollars that go to maintenance would be better spent on somewhere it's appreciated.
@@jhowardsupporter Cleaning the park you use is weird? tf kinda thinking is that?
A spot that dirty would be a definitive _pass_ for me. I don't want to get sick skating.
I see a new Ben Degros upload and I drop everything lol
Agreed I was watching search for animal chin and the notification poped up and I was out of there faster than you could say, "have you seen him".
That must get expensive lol
me too lol
whats it like promoting luv and San Francisco knowing that they are associated strongly with homosexuality? N expressing your admiration for Ben just seems to bolster that claim. I mean his is from Canada but he's not like the dudes from Carts Of Darkness, he's NOT gonna hit 70k on a shopping trolley.
Can I have a free deck from you to tryout ben
That "yeah!" biker is gonna be hyped when he sees this video 😄 best of luck with the brand. Already off to a solid start with the generator wood. Love that wood ❤
That really makes my heart ache to see such a beautiful and smooth outdoor park littered and disrespected like that.
Coming from an Omaha skater who just got a local DIY destroyed by the *city* after coming together to try and save it.
Which spot was that? I only ever go to Roberts but its so damn packed most days.
always love watching your videos. they provide a lot of insight on what products are good and just about the skating world in general. you truly inspire me to keep on skating and your positive way of presenting yourself and just the way you balance everything in your life is a great example on how to lead a nice life
I'm excited about the new skate shop! I hadn't skated in years and and then I ran across your videos. Got addicted to all the information, and now you have inspired me to buy a generator / DLX board. This new shop of yours is awesome! Now I have a go-to spot to get future gear!
Nice vid as always Ben! I love your style and how solid it is!! Thank you for being a clean skateboarder and cutting out all the bad stuff, I really respect that😃🙌🏼
Glad you're still out skating! I took a 5 week hiatus. Starting to warm up here though. Time to start getting back at it!
Filled out the form ben! This is a dream come true. The most informational skater making the perfect deck!
So much content lately wooo. Definitely gonna go check it out as I’m always looking for a new source for product, in the prairies here we are confined to zumiez and the local shops. Also want to support the boy. Keep up the good work
Damn here in San Francisco we are known for human turds On the sidewalks and needles and crust but damn that park is pretty shitty! I always thought everything in Canada is clean and beautiful!!? Oh Ben if you need any graphics for your boards hit me up!! ✌🏼
i instantly thought of soma when i clicked on this video
who's soma
How much for a random person like me
I've never seen so much garbage before lol
JayLuv Designs SF yeah, no one be taking shits I’m the damn skatepark lmao
Congrats on the new venture! You’re awesome- keep up the great work.
All the best in your new endeavors, Ben... keep killing it! 💪

I'm not _as young_ as you.
Recovering alcoholic/druggie, and it feels divine to be rolling around again on a board!
Your vids Help and inspire, and your humor isn't too bad!☝😎
Glad he's doing videos again
Love the idea, can’t wait to try your shapes!
"Just your regular grime and filth." Lol... Good stuff Ben! I'm really stoked about the boards because I'm kind of tired of all the wack graphics and what the skate industry has become. I remember a time when blanks were cool. Lastly, you seem like the kind of dude who should be designing boards because you have so much knowledge and passion for it.
Love the vids glad ur uploading again
Great video Ben thanks for the incredible content its Great 😊🍻🤘
Really loving the new videos lately!
Great show and very entertaining Mr.Ben, keep it up, we wish you guys the best on your new skate board business.
"Needley Businesses" had me lol'ing
Man, I would not want to fall at a park that dirty. You were really close to tagging the back of your head/back on the corner of that ledge! Maybe it was the angle, but it looked close. Good luck on the new business venture.
I always used to see syringers at downtown skate plaza. I once saw a guy climb out of that man hole naked in the middle of winter.
And what are the chances that crack had something to do with it
you are really killing it man
the fact the skaters/bikers don't take care of the park and don't chase junkies away is a testament to how much you did not have to beg for a park
I have the same issue with my local park, the scooter kids break glass and tag nonsense all over. Kids dont realize a $1,000,000 park is not something to take for granted
@@MrKylederp bust heads man make the little fuckers care when i was a kid in the early 2000s you learned skatepark etiquette or you got kicked out (and the next closest park was like a hundred miles away) so getting kicked out wasn't an option you either had respect for the park and everyone in it or you didn't ride
It is the middle of winter in Canada, this is the first week it's been nice enough to go outside and skate. I went to the park yesterday and it's freshly swept, generally in the summer when people are there everyday it stay's clean.
Where that park is located that is not possible. There will always be junkies there trying to stay out of the crap weather there because its close to one of the biggest hit areas of homelessness and drug use in Canada. The park is also on borrowed time as the viaducts above it are going to be torn down and the park with it. Locals often clean it and the city does sweeps every now again as well. He just went in a bad time when not many people are out.
They try, but it's hard to keep up in the downtown core where many homeless, mentally unstable, and those struggling with addictions seek shelter during the rainy seasons of Vancouver. The rest of the city's parks are very well maintained by the locals.
Awesome!!!!! Congrats I'm a subscribers of you from the Philippines.... Berto
Since this video has come out I have seen two different clips from here haha surprisingly the park looks semi clean but you can see bums in the background. One was on an Instagram clips mix and the other was a clip from our local ninetimes skateshop. Trippy that I haven’t seen it before then I recognize it twice within a span of days. Looks fun!
That reminds me of the actual plazas and squares I grew up skating in South America but not nearly this bad, haha! Geez, man
😂
Nice video alway happy when i see this kind of show
Awesome Ben I filled out the form. My local shop also carries BBS shop decks. The only thing I don't like about them is the steep nose. If I could get that 8 inch deck a little longer with a mellower nose it's all I would ride. Basically I want the G008 crail shape on generator wood haha
Awesome. Good luck in your most recent endeavor!
Ideal size and shape for me is 8.75x32.5/14.5 WB. Full nose and tail with steep concave. Congrats on the collaboration. Sounds like you guys have a great idea in mind. Keep up the great videos, you inspired this broken down 25 y/o to get back on the board haha.
Hell yeah Ben!! I’d skate a steep 8.375 blank for days, this is so sick.
Hey Ben I really like your channel and you skate real good, heres some info if it helps you at all, I'm from San Luis Obispo California. In my town we actually have 2 pretty big skate shops. CCS warehouse and Skate warehouse (skatewarehouse.com) and so this is where I get gear (Im currently skating a 8.0 Zero deck). Im also a old guy I'm 35 and i skated in the late 90s (Jamie Thomas was my fav skater back then along with Ed Templeton). I actually just recently got back into skating and I'm nowhere close to your level but having so much fun and its great exercise but trust me I get whooped (I'm not in the best shape) anyway thanks for uploading these awesome videos!!
I can assure you Venice skatepark is squeaky clean.
Not the skatepark. The old pavillion with the ledges that Guy skates in mouse. The smell there was revolting.
@@bendegros oh that's been gone for years! Epic spot tho.
Wow. Always packed a broom and garbage bag with me everywhere I went to skate. All of us need to Be grateful for having places like this or a DIY or even a popular street spot!!
Aww I was there yesterday, would've been sick to see you there
Biohazard Park. We used to bring a broom to clean up. You need a full hazard suit for that place. KRAZY. Nice footage. Seriously that place is sick as in I'm feeling sick.
Reminds me of my local park, always filthy and as it's under a railway arch always damp patches and puddles even when dry outside.
Some bright spark also decided to throw a load of paint around the place one day 😡💩
Good video. Have u done a review of those huf shoes ?
Is this the Vancouver Carpenter?
Well I went to the site to check it out and noticed that almost all of the generator blanks are sold out! Hopefully that's a sign of things going well and I'll just have to check back for a restock. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for this project!
do you think you could review a blind deck at some point ? Great videos !
That's so sad to see, I used to see this park in videos and I've always wanted to skate it. I really hope there's a effort to clean the place up.
Thanks for using the tunes!
Thank you!
Yes!!! Ben has a video today!!! ❤️😁😁
Yes Ben! I am totally down with the blank decks! And yes, this is great to help you out. 8.75 and 9.0 though pls
I was trying to pin down his accent and where he's from him being Canadian makes a lot of sense
I skated a lot of times in there when I lived in Van, too many syringes on the ground and it was definitely scary to fall, and if I went there early there was still a few homeless people sleeping in the skatepark, none of them seem to care about the skateboard sounds but it was awkward to skate. Nevertheless there is a lot of people helping on cleaning the skatepark, but there is still a lot of work to do since it's near to hastings street still I would definitely recommend people to go, the park itself is fun just don't go with kids if you're a fearful parent, other than that you'll be fine
How are the bones stf 99 wheels? Might cop some. Been riding on the f4 spitfire 101
That bank session was sick
OMG id be so afraid to fall on the ground at that skatepark lol
Hey ben I was wondering what u would think of my set up, personally it's perfect for me. I ride the antihero 8.5 navy eagle deck the length is 31inches with a 14.25 wheels base. I got 149 indys bronson bearings popped the shields out, and spitfire 58mm radials. I do street and transition and i find it to be very versatile. Love the channel bro keep on making good videos!
For pop i prefer a steep (kicks) Deck with 14 3/8 wheelbase (its a Shopdeck from a German skateshop who uses generatordecks) with forged indys. When i want my manuals more consistent i have to choose a little flatter Kicks, also with indys (forged or Standart height) a Jart with 14 1/2 wheelbase works great....I am really interrested in custom shapes designed by you, the biggest problem is the shipping. But im sure there will be a lot more interests from my country.
When that park first opened it was amazing now its fell off its too close to the dt core and with the way that place has been looking since the pandemic its pretty nice considering
Would love to get me some nice Blanks but I'm from Germany.. shipping would be overkill.
Sehe ich auch so! :D
Same
That’s sucks that no one cleans. I always walk around my local park and pick up trash before skating
I wanna start my own skate company just i dont know how to get in contact with certain woodshops because ps stix doesnt have any info on purchasing
Ben, any chance you could put Jart on your list of boards to review??¿ Thanks and Saludos desde Madrid!¡ ;)
classic underpass park, chicago's logan square skatepark is pretty similar
That is awesome news!
Can you do a review on Royal Trucks?? I would love to hear what you have to say about them!
Do a tensor mag light review would be interesting to see what u say about it
Could you make the specs of that Cardiel you reviewed? Congratulations?
I remember when this 1st opened lol
I love blanks. If you can get Generator standard 8.125 x 31.6 with 14 WB. (Shape that guys like Shane O'neil, Mcclung, Spencer Hamilton use) I will grab a few. They have a minimum of 50 per design but not sure how you can get the blanks. You have to know someone I guess. A local shop here has them from time to time. Straight from Mexicali I believe.
i did the survey but i guess shipping to Germany won't make i a real option for me sadly.. though i am very interested to see the shapes of the boards you come up with
Hey Ben, how will this shipping costs look like for those in California?
Awesome
Hamilton has Beasley mark appleyards old park and my park it’s pretty dirty there too
3 videos in a week, damn
It seems like the seat ledges are the dirtiest thing about the park. The concrete seemed pretty smooth around were you had your sesh.
Man, that park is a shame. What a waste of those nice ledges!
Filled out the feedback form. Hopefully of some help. Good luck with it all!
This is the most Canadian video you have put out
Can you do a Baker or DGK deck review?
What carhartt pants are those? And are they worth the money ?
Can you review the adidas liberty cup shoe
Love your vids Ben I also follow u on Instagram I'm excited I ordered my first fresh deck of 2020 much love from norcal .
I think bonsor might be 1st because when I do hand power slides I get dust all over my hands
That shit would never fly at my local! Like it gets dirty and there’s usually some beer cans left around but that’s usually cause we skate the trashcan and it’s the only trashcan till you get to the parking lot. But even still if it got that bad the city would probably have a cop stationed there making sure people clean up their trash
Love it
Even Burnside is way cleaner than that park !
When is the site re stocking 8.5?
Do one of these at bonsor , I've seen dudes litterly shooting up
And its still my fave park to go to :)
Austin!
I will check out the shop.
Now that park, I couldn't/wouldn't skate there. The filth would be in my head the whole time. I slam way to much for that place.
It makes me happy to see skaters aware of their surroundings and not glamorizing filth.
Skated there this summer and it wasn’t nearly this gross. Infact, I was kind of expecting it to be more grimmy but after seeing this video I think I just got lucky
Thank ya
Ewww that is one grimmy park ben ); when r we getting a review of them HUF galaxy's ?!
Umm yeah, that park needs to be cleared by a hazmat team. In the meantime I’m psyched for your Canada Skate Shop collaboration.
What are the name of those huf shoes?
this entire skatepark looks like one of those rough concrete bowls with three feet of vert that people just dump shopping carts into.
make a review on the erick winkowski board
SoCal USA. I like Wide boys, 9-11 inches. I ride Indy 159, 169, and 215. Ideal Decks have double kick, Wheel wells, Interesting & functional shapes. madness has some sick stuff, so does welcome. $40-75 is reasonable. Ps stix and dsm are the best woodshops imho.
How do HUF shoes skate ?
I'd put some game cameras that flash every pic in the bridge webbing & parties might disappear
