Ricardo is a smart kid. He’s definitely gonna do well in life. You can tell he has learned from what he’s seen. I definitely relate. If you’re reading this I appreciate you bro 🤙🏻
So perfect how it encapsulates a side of skatepark culture that isn’t just skating, the people who hang around the parks as a second home. Skateboarding growing up feels like a learning experience and all the different characters at the park teach you all the types of people in world you will encounter. As well as other lessons that due to the huge generational divide between our parents culture and our own, parenting is unable to teach… Thanks Nic. love it.
This was interesting. I feel so sad for those kids. They're clearly adrift with no real positive influences in their lives. I hope they make it out alive.
Kids always been like this everywhere. Most do just fine. None of these kids seemed to be angry and lashing out, but just cheerful with no cares. They'll be alright.
Seems like an interesting new series. There's kids like this at nearly every skate park I've ever been to. I'm glad this didn’t come off as judgemental. They're just victims of difficult circumstances.
My local skatepark growing up was in Port Jervis NY right on the river, not too far from this town just a county over. Very similar vibes there during a certain stretch of years. This video took me back, I feel like this is almost a universal phenomena in these types of rural neglected skateparks. Awesome video!
Really beautifully done. Funny and heartbreaking. It's wild how these kids are almost identical to the skatepark lurker kids I knew two decades ago, most of them unfortunately ended up dealing with major addiction issues and died or are in and out of prison. I truly hope that these kids can make it out and break the cycle, they have much more to offer the world than they think.
He's like the park enforcer or something. He just hauls ass around the park doing boned out ollies making sure people pick up their trash and keeps the metal ramp kids from getting out of line.
thank you Jenkem for always delivering diverse, genuine and heartfelt (skate) content. I'm always excited for new uploads on here and hope y'all will continue to find the time and inspiration to keep it up. much love!
damn bro how eerie yet interesting. This could have been anywhere in the united states its not unique to just new york. It could have been any time period as well. These types of kids were around in the 00s and they appear to be around now in the 20s These are the type of kids that I call "the kids who have no place to go", they have no place to go so they just lay on the ramps. sometimes one or two of them actually will get into skateboarding but most of them just lay around on the ramps. This was fascinating to watch
As a kid, I would visit my step-family in Devon, Alberta, a small town near Edmonton. My most notable memories are those spent at the local park just like this one. All the homies I met there had such raw personalities that were uncommon growing up in the city. Thank you for the nostalgia, Nic!!
Man its crazy skatepark kids really are the same anywhere and anytime, park was full of kids like this when I was growing up 10 - 15 years ago. Just kids with problems at home coming to hangout.
this is soo awesome dudes! heavy nostalgia, so stoked to see the “grummets “ (that’s what the good to do kids called us) still going strong! Love from TX
I skated this park once about 15 years ago. The long mellow quarter in the back corner was fun for a day. Glad it still exists but it’s definitely not a park anyone chooses to go to if it’s not their local.
Damn so crazy to see an old local park! Learned my first boardslide on one of the flat rails there. I haven't gone there in a minute, might have to go back. Just need the city to fix up the ground among other things, or really just care about the park
We have one here too. At my old age i just go there early morning usually to try a few tricks and kick around. Any other tine of day and you'd probably get this video's exact scenario. 😂

this confirms that metal ramp kids are the same in every state. love it
pretty much the same here in the UK
Same in Germany
Used to be one of em, now I skate on the metal ramps
In every country*
Same in Ontario 😂
That Albanian kid with the sunglasses is the most interesting person I've ever seen.
Probably time to leave the house I would say.
Skate culture at its finest. This is not a skatepark , its a teen center.
Ricardo is a smart kid. He’s definitely gonna do well in life. You can tell he has learned from what he’s seen. I definitely relate. If you’re reading this I appreciate you bro 🤙🏻
he doesn’t i hate to tell you that
@@ariannabrock7980 he doesn’t what?
I feel sorry for these kids. That park is the only place they have to escape.
I grew up at a metal park! This is so accurate. This little documentary reminds me of the movie kids or gummo lol. So good.

These supreme videos are getting out of control
LMAO

Nic mosher is so talented. makes the best docs ever

5-7 years from now check on those kids again
I think we all know what happens
someone has to buy the meth @@candycouldntbesosweet
This hits so close to home. I moved out of that environment years ago… I’m just happy this exists. I don’t have words for the feelings. Thank you.
flashbacks to my childhood, feel for these kids. keep the chins up. y'all gonna get outta there.
Damn, this takes me back...universal, timeless truths you can find all over the world. Great piece guys 👍
Thank you from the entire East Fishkill skate community!🙏❤️🔥
Nic! Glad to see you back in the swing of things!

True shit. I was one of them .
Can confirm, us lucky ones ended up In rehab, the unlucky ones I think about all the time RIP
Well that’s depressing.
Honestly kinda the worst section of skate culture, those kids need like actual help
Should have interviewed the kid w out the shirt on he’s so mysterious now I need to know his lore.
😂
He's like the park enforcer or something. He just hauls ass around the park doing boned out ollies making sure people pick up their trash and keeps the metal ramp kids from getting out of line.
@@StationaryRocketFlipChampionLol that’s sick if that is true. Do you know the backstory of Ricardo? Is he trolling?
thank you Jenkem for always delivering diverse, genuine and heartfelt (skate) content. I'm always excited for new uploads on here and hope y'all will continue to find the time and inspiration to keep it up. much love!
more of these please, more stuff by Nic
Please keep up with these kids!
Glad Nic is still working!
Big ups Ricardo, yo the kid is strong minded, good luck brother
He seems to be well equipped, but yet fighting off brain damage at the same time.

This is my local all these kids do is break glass and get in the way none of them actually skate
Awesome job Nic!! So excited to see new projects from you.
This video is an art peace.
strobeck be lovin’this
Damn, this takes me back....hope these kids find what it takes to get them out of their shitty situations. Please follow up on them, Jenkem.
Good to see you out and working Nic, wishing you the best

Brings me back.

Man its crazy skatepark kids really are the same anywhere and anytime, park was full of kids like this when I was growing up 10 - 15 years ago. Just kids with problems at home coming to hangout.

This video is a great documentary for people in other countries to see how its like to grow up in U.S.A.. I feel like Im in a zoo Thank you!
This is a masterpiece
I used to work at this park. Good times way back when.
Shout out from Wappingers Falls.
The best of us we're metal ramp kids, good times
Gothic King Cobra vibes
The kids are alright..
I have a special affinity associated with those blue ARC parks. I really miss my old metal home park
These are the children of all the kids from Gummo
Faith in humanity: restored
cool, I had the same energy and friends/places/drugs/skate when I was their age
Ricardo with the bulls beanies voice let alone says make me an actor asap
Felt like I rewatched The Florida Project
Nic is the new and improved harmony
How do we reach these kids (in my cartman voice )
These kids born wrong era shoulda been born in the 90s
1:50 I swear this is Christopher Walken‘s long lost kid
Please make this a series, with s different town each episode
Thanks Jenkem 🖤
shoutout hopewell junction, if these kids played any other sport besides skating they would be fully funded and cared for by the town
feels like home
Holy crap those kids are stuck in 2009 hahah
Amazing !! Jenkem been killing it lately!!
that’s type shit crazy 💯
damn some real shit, sometimes this is the best environment you got when you have a broken home
Ricardo with the 70´s Tony Alva style 🤙
This felt like the start of an A24 horror film LMAO someone help them kids
this is gold journalism
That kid is destined to be a Hollywood type cast antagonist
y'all are killing it fr
Beautifully made.
Can’t wait for more of these. Really hit the mark on these jenkem
so good.
I skated this park once about 15 years ago. The long mellow quarter in the back corner was fun for a day. Glad it still exists but it’s definitely not a park anyone chooses to go to if it’s not their local.
uuuuuugh this level of nostalgia hurts
Ramp tramps in pajama pants is as metal skatepark as it gets
Yoo Ricardo gotta teach the others. Best of luck to all those kids.
Damn so crazy to see an old local park! Learned my first boardslide on one of the flat rails there. I haven't gone there in a minute, might have to go back. Just need the city to fix up the ground among other things, or really just care about the park
big ups on that michel legrand track!
love you nic beautiful stuff as always
Ricardo knows what’s up
work of art
They got Puerto Rican Max B
We have one here too. At my old age i just go there early morning usually to try a few tricks and kick around. Any other tine of day and you'd probably get this video's exact scenario. 😂
so good
thank you for this!
This shit reminds me of high school so much
That 5-0 was sick
❤
Really, really good. Thanks.

Ricardo has cool thought processing,hyped Hawaii still has parks like this allover

Jenkem posts a lot of cringe (usually because of the people hosting it) but this was an excellent piece. More like this
