The air walk...that really just impresses me so much...it's such a different physical move for a skater and db really deserves serious props for that...they say db Cooper jumped out with all that money and was never seen again...well...db did that air walk...and you can go see that guy anytime you want!!! Well...I mean if he isn't asleep or something!
im proud to say I live only a walk away :) Does anyone know where you can buy this dvd at or anywhere I can find it? I let someone barrow mine and never seen it again and would really like to get another copy. Thanks!
@DreadlockRasta21 It is still there. They just remodeled it and put these pink planter things in the way of the ledges and made it illegal to skate there. (cops are everywhere) I believe they recently changed it so you can skate on some days yet it is not the same as it once was.
DC Shoes - Take the million and throw it towards building a perfect Love Park replica outside the city. A milli probably wouldn't cover everything, but it would be a hell of a start. Even if that got built people would still skate Love though. I'm sure that would piss the city off... but hey... whatever...
i just fuckin came back from love park this kid was fucking tryna back 180 the fountain it was fucking sick i ollied the 7 set at love check the video out but this place is fucking sick all respect
The basic story is that the Philadelphia city officials decided that skaters were totally destroying love park with their board, like grinding and stuff so they shut it down. anyone who said they've been there recently is lying. its been closed for such a long time, and if you skate there you get arrested
i live in a new neyberhood so its a very smoth ground once a couple of skaters came by and saw me skate on a low thing it is very fun and then theres a little hill behind so you could come and grind it with full speed and this was on my right outside my house im i annoyed no the kids are very good at skateboarding so its very fun to skate with them so why dont you go to your mom and cry huh?
the song for this video is called "be with me" by "vast" it took me months to figure this out i could not understand what he was saying

skating atmosphere back then during the 90's man.....the vibe was just so amazing, seemingly more friendly, and fuckin epic
my man Donnie Binaco threw down that sick airwalk at 3:08 only to have his name misspelled in 411 for the rest of skateboarding history
2:22 guy is standing on the LOVE sign...
i used to live there. i was too young to skate it at the time but i wish i couldve. i just bought the full dvd. ive skated FDR though.
Pappalardo would wear a "I heart Ny" T shirt while doing a switch Ollie down the love gap!
last few days again me and my friends are making history skating the last few days live has left we will miss it :(
And they finally shut it down:(
i still skate there i will never stop skate there it the best
Vast - Be With Me
i was just there last week, its not closed at all and everything is still perfectly skatable
Chris Cole was absolutely insane. The zero new blood part and ride the sky part were unreal
haha that Vinnie Ponte bit was in the opening to 411VM issue 5. Was he a local guy? Don't seem to ever see him in a 411 again, classic crowd hype
We still skate there
lol bam made the love gap when he was like 14.
PHILADELPHIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOME SWEET HOME
frontside flip
coooolllll the best tricks !!
its like right next city hall. how could you not find it?
RIP to this place
sucks though
just stepping onto love park with a skateboard gets you warned/in trouble
but chris coles switch fs flip was so crazy
I was skating love park yesterday, it's still there.... Lol
so is it still there just unskatable??? or is it chained up or did they demolish it... and is the hole park unskatable or just the fountain??
They remove the water in the fall and it is shut down all winter. That is when most of the skate videos of people hitting the gap were shot.
Love park is still open and still skatable, not legally tho
and they have the fountain filled up now.
post the whole video in parts
im proud to say I live only a walk away :)
Does anyone know where you can buy this dvd at or anywhere I can find it? I let someone barrow mine and never seen it again and would really like to get another copy. Thanks!

i live in NJ and its just a normal walk way and a fountain that has steps its set up just like a skatepark but its def a reg park
I've been on the premiere of fallen ride the sky and chris cole bs 360 the fountain gap :D
you know what i seriously what love park to come back because josh kalis made his name there
3:43 is that a switch frontside flip or switch frontside heel?
Reminds me of Freedom Plaza in DC. Really lame that they prohibit skateboarding there now.
Is that Dyrdek at :48?
All the time, every time I try to skate there, I get either chased away by cops or get kicked out within' the first 5 to 10 minutes.
@MrScottCarr I was there last night, I ollied the gap, the fountain is drained. And the ledges are fine.
so whast the deal. can you skate there or not cuz i wanna ollie the fountain gap
This place isnt there anymore?

@Type7a We didn't do all the damage. and that place is a landmark for skateboarding
i was there 2 days ago the fountain wasnt running :(
@jessesetsfire yea i was just there yesterday. two dudes tried to do a backside heel and a frontside bigspin. they didnt land them but shit was tight.

What i've heard is that if your found skating in love park by the cops, They'll taser you and you'll be arrested/fined or something :P
The basic story is that the Philadelphia city officials decided that skaters were totally destroying love park with their board, like grinding and stuff so they shut it down. anyone who said they've been there recently is lying. its been closed for such a long time, and if you skate there you get arrested
I doubt it, they probably just took it away because it was go skateboarding day
It's a skate monument
The skateboarder's home !
i live in a new neyberhood so its a very smoth ground once a couple of skaters came by and saw me skate on a low thing it is very fun and then theres a little hill behind so you could come and grind it with full speed and this was on my right outside my house im i annoyed no the kids are very good at skateboarding so its very fun to skate with them so why dont you go to your mom and cry huh?
