judging by the sign that says its for the "housing residents", one can only assume there used to be a bunch of town houses and stuff there, maybe even more of a park.
JUST WHEN YOU THINK LIFE IS ALWAYS SMOOTH SKATING...WE ALL EVENTUALLY... NO MATTER YOUR STATUS IN THIS LIFE, WE WILL ALL MEET THAT BUMPY ABRUPT ENDING THAT LEADS US BACK TO THE GRASS AND DIRT IN WHICH WE SHALL RETURN... 😳😳😳😳
Context is always key. When a spot is a legitimate “skatepark” there is the expectation that the design will facilitate, rather than hinder skating. But when a spot is “natural,” the expectation is less and more leeway is given judging suitability. In the context of a skatepark, this spot is awful but if it were found in the middle of an industrial park, it’d be accepted as weird and challenging.
Dude, not only did you show a genuinely awful skatepark (unlike every other "worst skatepark" video), you showed that there is no such thing as a bad skatepark, just a lack of imagination. Thanks, Dude!
We had months of excitement with just a single slippery yellow painted curb placed onto an existeing roadside curb. Every nite the road was filled with skaters sharking that thing.
@@dirtyswampman I'm talking about mind set, Man. The shittiest spot in the world can still be fun with a little imagination and the right attitude. Like Jason just showed us. Personally, I skate a lot of crusty ass streets and empty parking lots with no obstacles at all. Many might call them boring. I think they're grand.
I have pictures of skating this in 1990 when I visited in the Navy. Saw it from the freeway and made it a mission to find it. So, where you see the "road", it used to be semi-decent blacktop but has since worn away. Only the concrete pad is left. It was terrible, and so was the wooden skatepark at the AFB down the road.
I used to live there when I was in 3rd grade through 5th when my dad was stationed in Hawaii. It looked exactly the same back in the 80’s. I’m 45 now and haven’t seen this place since then so it’s really tripping me out. It’s literally the first skate spot I’ve ever skated. Just dropping in is super sketchy. 😅 Not sure if it’s still military housing.
The Intro was so accurate. I started to hate these "worst skatepark" videos, cause mostly the parks shown are much better than the parks here in rural Germany and I would be so happy to have a park nearby.
zb in sachsen anhalt gibt es ausser in halle, burg oder gardelegen kaum nen vernünftigen park der wirklich auch für skater konzipiert ist. In kleineren Städten sind teilweise die skateparks komplett kaputt
So from looking at the condition of the cement and the ground in the surrounding area, I can guarantee that at some point that was a full halfpipe, what happened was that both the transition ramps were poured out of solid concrete, but they did not design a foundation that could support that much weight. As time went by both sides started sinking, but one side had worse ground conditions and sunk further down making it unskateable, so it was removed. In the flat you can actually see where the cement cracks and goes slightly more downhill because of the remaining quarter pipe sinking down from it's own weight.
Been riding bmx for 28 years now, and I will say with utmost confidence that this ramp would be terrible for pretty much any school of bmx. Short steep ramps are the worst on a bike. And for the guy who said it's for stalls, there's only a couple stalls where steeper is better, and absolutely no one would build a ramp just for icepicks/toothpicks. This thing's transition is a mess when you look at it from the side. Who's this actually made for? Whoever wants to ride a wonky, odd quarter I suppose. I just think it was made poorly
The way he starts running from way far back really slow and then speeds up right before it had me in tears. Crazy that was how he got speed to do a blunt flip.
I moved to Hawaii in 1986 and I am sure that vert quarter pipe was already there. Another one just like it was in a similar field on Schofield Barracks closer to where I lived in Mililani. Seeing those quarter pipes from the road so many times may have been what originally inspired me to start skateboarding. Thanks, housing managers!
@@dannyway5496the youth center on post had a bowl that everyone used to skate also, it was right next to the outdoor skating rink. That’s bad ass that you were there, it’s a small world sometimes!!!
I’m surprised the locals didn’t build onto this. My friends and I used to throw in on some Quik Crete, some caulk, and even a couple hundred bucks on lumber to modify an abandoned lot to skate. I acquired a few loitering tickets back in those days and a few guys even got charged with vandalism but the spot stayed hot until the tickets eventually offset the risk lol. This looks inspiring to me
OMFG I use to live right next to that thing when I lived in Hawaii. I lived on Valdez Pl in Military housing as my dad was in the Navy. I use to climb all over that thing. I lived in Hawaii for 6 years and that field was where I use to play with my friends. Seeing the housing brought so much memories of my childhood. I can almost see the house I use to live in.
I think this is an old “playground” for military families- it used to be on base and was somewhere for neighbor kids to use as a slide/little biking area- either way props on the blunt kick flip out- that might be the most technically difficult one I’ve ever seen
"It's hot today...I just think I am looking for excuses" 🤣👌 Jason you crack me up, potato humor is next level 👏 love that you find a way to skate no matter what, you are a true champion bro 😊👍 "why do i do this to myself...I don't have to answer" this park needed to be Christened with an "ouch dad".
I'd bet that where the gravel is there was another quarter-pipe with 1½ foot of almost vert at the top. It was probably a cement mini-half-pipe back in the heyday of vert, and they demolished one of the quarter pipes knowing it would be unskateable.
I bet it was made for a skate or BMX competition back in the day of traveling competitions with everything being built just for that occasion. Probably in the summer with a wood roll-in and maybe some wood ramps and what not. The “small flat land area” looks like it was put there for a stable spot for an old school camera setup. I remember seeing those pointed out in a video from many years ago that mentioned they do that for the camera to have a level spot. Maybe an x-games clip or a skate video. I wish I could remember exactly but that was probably 20 years ago.
@@CScott-wh5ykThanks buddy. I rewatched most of the video and did you hear where it was exactly? At the end he makes it seem like Hawaii I believe. If he said it I missed it. If my theory is correct there should be info on a google search. They did local press and a bunch of posters usually so there should be info. At the end he says that there are a bunch more the exact same way so it seems like a traveling comp. Especially when he talks about the quarter being made wrong, they probably used local contractors that weren’t proper ramp builders.
Had the EXACT same slab & quarterpipe when I got to Schofield barracks in 96.. Me & some young homies along with the Army Engineers got a lil crazy Stonehenge lookin park built in the late 90s!! @jasonpark do a Schofield park review!! 🤘🏾
Im gonna take a guess and say this was probably a full half pipe/spin ramp a long time ago. When skating really started to explode in the 80s it was all vert, and if im not mistaken there was a healthy skate scene in Hawaii back then. It probably used to look similar to the Animal Chin ramp.
Personally I'd imagine it was just a small BMX park, the gravel right before the cement and stuff just makes me think the person that built it just wanted a little spot for their bike
It seems this was put there right in the beginning of skateboardings life. Back when the skate competitions consisted of flat ground and like one or two ramps. This quarter is actually probably among one of the first quarters ever made.
If I had to guess judging from that Housing Manager sign, either the developers ran out of funds/ran into a dispute shortly after they started building and the project was disbanded, OR residents complained to the Housing Manager about skaters in the area which caused them to can the project.
Dude, I lived for those Hawaii quarterpipes. Those were my proving ground! We are definitely playing our next game of SKATE on that thing... You're going down, kid!
In Brazil, worse ones are common. Here, many public bids are won by companies that don't know how to make skate parks. The State does not follow the process properly. Believe it or not, I've seen a track like this one before. But to make matters worse, there was a wall 3 meters in front of the ramp.
Jason you’re so insanely talented I can’t express just how gnarly you are! Your bag of tricks and style is like no other skater in the world. So fun to watch. There’s no way on earth I’d have even tried to skate that park and I like skating quarters lol 😆
i always think the same thing. i see the "worst" skatepark videos and think how privileged they are to even have one at all and some are completely skateable. most little towns and villages in my area have laterally nowhere to skate not a single flat surface and the nearest skateparks are completely broken from a design stand point (stairs and rail with no run up, metal ramps that are not flush to the ground, cracked rough terrain etc) far worse than anything in the "worst" skatepark videos.
I like the theory that there was another quarter pipe making it a sketchy halfpipe. Maybe it was stage one of a skatepark that never got finished. Or maybe there were more obstacles that got torn out... In any case thanks for showing how much fun you can have with a positive attitude!!
That thing looks SCARY af. I'm sure it was a full half pipe at one stage but wow, very strong vertical session for a 5ft ramp. Some SUPER good tricks pulled off here! Nice. Oh, love the "flatland area".
i would love the know the story behind this, did they start and just realize they don't have resources? did it used to be a whole skatepark? it's like an artpiece lol
I’m guessing they probably demolished all of the smaller obstacles and just left that one because they didn’t know what to do with it since it’s just a giant piece of concrete
The judo and one foot rock to fakie looked so tight. Seems like with the additional vert at the top, it really forces you to completely throw yourself into the trick to even reach the coping
Wow! We have been to a lot of “worst skatepark ever” and we can confirm, you may be the winner of finding the actual worst! We would still have fun here though too
This was the video I didn’t know I needed til I saw it. Also that ramp has been like that since I was in elementary, I used to drive past it on the way to school every morning and always wondered why there was only half the ramp. I think there used to be other playground equipment by it but they took it down. That blunt kickflip was amazing man !
Looks like it's more intended for bikes. As to Braille's "Worst Skatepark" videos, perhaps you're not picking up that that's a joke title, mostly. Sure, they critique parks. But they also skate the hell out of them, showing that even a "bad" skatepark can be fun. Which, I think, is the whole point of the "Worst Skatepark" series; To show that even sketchy skateparks can be fun.
This is the scene of some great 80s movie about a kid trying to learn how to skateboard. The teacher is this old Japanese guy with the long eyebrows and mustache and he forces the kid to try to learn everything on this little skatepark. The kid hates every second of his training but then when the teacher takes him to a regular skatepark the kid suddenly is flying around like Tony Hawk .... the kid then realizes the beauty of his master's training "If you can be decent on the bad... you will be great at the good!" or something 80s like that. Then they do a jumping high five and it freeze frames as their hands hit in the air and the credits roll playing Journey "Don't Stop.. .belieeeeving!"
imagine the "housing manager" looks out his window finally hearing the sound of someone shredding gnar, he rolls up his sleeves, nods in agreement that "yes, this is the finest skate spot in all the land, and i built it!"
I found your video yesterday and just got recommended another "WORST SKATE PARK EVER" video. You're right, it doesn't compare. Not even close. Subscribed.
i laughed so hard when you said there was more than one of these. just the fact they'd think this was some established way to make a skatepark, or that people were so impressed by the first one....either way is hilarious. it does still make a cool spot though, great video
At the beginning of the video when you mentioned how gnarly it would be to do a blunt fakie, I thought, "Yeah, no way." and when you did it and kicked out, I thought thatd be the end of it, then you did it and my jaw literally dropped, then you go and kickflip out of it too, absolutely insane. Also yeah, not gonna namedrop any channels, but one of the bigger ones click-baiting "Worst Park ever" posts parks that look like some of the dopest parks I've ever seen, and I live somewhere with pretty solid skateparks. I guess anything that doesn't look like a street league recreation, or a state of the art skate plaza is "The worst park ever".
Housing manager was probably like "Hell yeah, let's build a skatepark in the field to keep those kids from thrashing the curbs at the building entrance!" ... Project gets underway ... "That quarter pipe cost how much to pour?? Fuck it, pack it up, that's a wrap." Then Housing Manager is tormented for years by his peers for that one time he blew the entire annual maintenance budget on a quarter pipe..
That's probably the gnarliest session this skatepark has ever seen
Fr this skatepark wild
facts
In a few decades probably
fir real
😂
The saddest part about this is that they could have built an amazing skate park using all the available space
They could’ve build an ok skatepark with j the concrete they used for the quarter pipe
Better off treating it like Burnside. Here's the land, build whatever you want.
with none of the available money
judging by the sign that says its for the "housing residents", one can only assume there used to be a bunch of town houses and stuff there, maybe even more of a park.
This skatepark seems like an art piece making a statement about life
yep. its pointless so just try and have fun and not take it serious

it's like someone took the skate park editor from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, dropped a quarter pipe - and that's it. Saved it, called it a day.

@@PhilipLemoine Looks like they either ran out of funding for the rest of the park or the city guy that wanted it got voted out

It is, and the vert is so you can do stalls on a tiny quarter

Reminds me of back in the day when we used to skate the concrete loading ramp at the local Farm Service company.
If you can progress skating there you deserve to be an Olympic medalist 😂
Looks like a old BMX ramp from the 80s
This was the video I didn’t know I needed til I saw it. Also that ramp has been like that since I was in elementary, I used to drive past it on the way to school every morning and always wondered why there was only half the ramp. I think there used to be other playground equipment by it but they took it down. That blunt kickflip was amazing man !
Looks like it's more intended for bikes.
As to Braille's "Worst Skatepark" videos, perhaps you're not picking up that that's a joke title, mostly. Sure, they critique parks. But they also skate the hell out of them, showing that even a "bad" skatepark can be fun. Which, I think, is the whole point of the "Worst Skatepark" series; To show that even sketchy skateparks can be fun.
Wow that thing blows 😂😂
The run up is like Lancelot storming the castle in Monty Python's Holy Grail.
08:17 Randy Muller freestyle part! Best part!
Gotta admit, that blunt flip was worth the watch
Didn't know Fallout4 had a Skate Park
Dude you are gnarly. That was impressive skating on that insane quarter pipe
This is the scene of some great 80s movie about a kid trying to learn how to skateboard. The teacher is this old Japanese guy with the long eyebrows and mustache and he forces the kid to try to learn everything on this little skatepark. The kid hates every second of his training but then when the teacher takes him to a regular skatepark the kid suddenly is flying around like Tony Hawk .... the kid then realizes the beauty of his master's training "If you can be decent on the bad... you will be great at the good!" or something 80s like that. Then they do a jumping high five and it freeze frames as their hands hit in the air and the credits roll playing Journey "Don't Stop.. .belieeeeving!"
imagine the "housing manager" looks out his window finally hearing the sound of someone shredding gnar, he rolls up his sleeves, nods in agreement that "yes, this is the finest skate spot in all the land, and i built it!"
My favorite part was the "I'm just making excuses" while skating at the worst skatepark of all time
I found your video yesterday and just got recommended another "WORST SKATE PARK EVER" video. You're right, it doesn't compare. Not even close.
Subscribed.
that sound it made on the top of the ramp is beautiful, that skatepark (quarter ramp) is now holy
“ you can’t even feel good after a trick “😂
I thought the 1/4 pipe would be like super small from the thumbnail, but it's actually big and vert (??).. Nothing makes sense at all here hahaha!
I love how this place is now literally labeled as a park on Google Maps as "World's greatest skatepark"
i laughed so hard when you said there was more than one of these. just the fact they'd think this was some established way to make a skatepark, or that people were so impressed by the first one....either way is hilarious. it does still make a cool spot though, great video
At the beginning of the video when you mentioned how gnarly it would be to do a blunt fakie, I thought, "Yeah, no way." and when you did it and kicked out, I thought thatd be the end of it, then you did it and my jaw literally dropped, then you go and kickflip out of it too, absolutely insane.
Also yeah, not gonna namedrop any channels, but one of the bigger ones click-baiting "Worst Park ever" posts parks that look like some of the dopest parks I've ever seen, and I live somewhere with pretty solid skateparks. I guess anything that doesn't look like a street league recreation, or a state of the art skate plaza is "The worst park ever".
“Even skate it as a flat gap”
*instant regret* 😂
That's an old bike ramp. Looks like a good time.
Amazing video, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber my friend.
I’m invested in the history of this spot now… I wanna know when it was constructed who made it and if any pros hit this
Housing manager was probably like "Hell yeah, let's build a skatepark in the field to keep those kids from thrashing the curbs at the building entrance!"
... Project gets underway ...
"That quarter pipe cost how much to pour?? Fuck it, pack it up, that's a wrap."
Then Housing Manager is tormented for years by his peers for that one time he blew the entire annual maintenance budget on a quarter pipe..
