That's probably the gnarliest session this skatepark has ever seen
Fr this skatepark wild
facts
In a few decades probably
fir real
😂
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
No, just a normal ramp, you can see the base of the other quarter of the grass.
Used to be full
@@itisjustacommentso he’s right- a part of us has been lost. Some conceptual art sht
@@patrickbyrne5070 deep :0
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... 😳😳😳😳
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 is like when the kids keep pressuring the city to make a skatepark so they say fuck it and drop a random quarter pipe so they can say they did it.
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.
That's exactly what I was thinking. It even looks like the editor, with the fence around the perimeter and the huge flat empty space lol
Fuck me tooo! Lol
exactly what i was thinking. kiddie's first skatepark in thug
Tony Hawks Underground 2 babyyyy
I had an identical thought
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.
Willing to tell us where this is?
@@MarylandResidentwouldn’t you like to know, maryland resident
@@MarylandResident hawaii
hey man the hickam afb park is fucking heat put some respect on the name
@@roofb1612 it most certainly is now. In 1991, not so much :)
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.
Wow. For real.
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.
I love that this quarter pipe actually has a lot of history to it! Thanks for sharing.
Yup that makes sense 80s New Zealand all over, standing wave made by good intentions
That’s a trip lol
One of our friends just said he thinks this quarter pipe was built for BMX. That would actually make a lot of sense.
this does makes the most sense. I am sure the truth will be stranger than fiction.
It is, and the vert is so you can do stalls on a tiny quarter
I was thinking the exact same thing. Definitely looks like a BMX suited ramp.
Your friend is a genius
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
This is the skatepark where all the legends were made.
if only OP middle name was Skate then he would be Jason Skate Park
🤣🤣🤣 that’s pretty good.
100%
damn that,s soo word man gotta get their names realz they deserve titles of legends rode hereee, lol😄
It’s literally not.
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.
Homie is rad for going out to session that quarter... Vert way over ish. He even fks with that 2x2 square obviously he lives to skate
is this an awful skatepark or do bad parks not exist? tf you talkin bout
@@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.
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.
There never was another side lol. Its been like that since I was in elementary school in 1996.
It looks like they started but gave up on one side.
Where is this?
@@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
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.
Yeah honestly I get it they’re just trying to get views but most of them look pretty decent, and some look actually good!
jap das hab ich mich auch so gedacht. wo kommst du her? ich habe immer das gefühl dass viele von den parks ursprünglich für inline-skater gestellt wurden.
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
@@constantlylearnandgrow3487 Hi, komme aus dem Sinntal 😁 muss ca. 30-40km bis zu den nächsten brauchbaren Parks fahren.
kids today are used to buttery smooth computer made parks.
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!
My dad was stationed at Schofiled from 91-94 and they had a quarter pipe just like this near the baseball fields. It did have a longer roll up though.
We have probably had a session together.
@@bigsarge966 I was there.... lol
That’s awesome lol
@@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!!!
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.
That housing manager has a great sense of humour. I bet that his lounge room window had a good view of this death trap.
I wanna see a skate contest happen there. Throw down the biggest trick with only that much space to run up on would be epic.
Literally- this park could get cult status because of how awful it is
@@jerryleganker4630 thought the same thing
Please make this a series, loved the detailed explanation of why this pipe is challenging, and having the feedback on the attempts.
The 100 yard guerilla walk roll in had me dying! 😂
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
Housing manager was an old pool skater, passed during construction and this was left as a monument..
cap?
Seriously?
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.
Great video. I love the vibes of the channel, and you've got the perfect name for this sort of series, lol.
That blunt flip fakie was seriously so clean. I had to watch it like 10 times! Thanks for all the great content Jason
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 said on the sign that its a skatepark so I wouldn't think it was for the military
@@InnerAnimationsHe never said it was for the military, but for their families
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.
Yep
Yep
If it’s where I think it is, it definitely was
Not gonna lie, I laughed harder at this than I have at anything in a LONG time... that extended slow run-up to the flat... ded.
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 😆
Haha well thank you! I appreciate that, and yeah it was a challenge but somehow weirdly fun!
I died at the late introduction to the flatground square 🤣
Somehow you turned what definitely looks like the worst skatepark ever into a really fun skate spot.
OH yes because no one before him thought of skate it up and down.
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
Great vid, that was super fun to watch. Making the best of something weird and kinda shitty is always entertaining
I usually can say "still better than my local" but not today 😂😂
Maybe you gotta collect all the pieces of the halfpipe like the triforce or something?
THPS American Wasteland in real life haha
You cruuuuuuuushed this skatepark! Insane. Do more terrible parks, its makes the sweet tricks look cooler.
the slow running from a distance had me weak 😂
Hilarious. I think this may actually be the worst skatepark
"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".
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.
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.
i was thinking the same thing.
Nope, never. Was always just a quarter pipe.
It's like it was going to be a half pipe, but the funding got cut halfway through the project
It’s like they started building it then decided, good enough. 😆
Somebody else commented that's visited this exact spot and another down the road, and unfortunately it was never a half pipe
This is an amazing workout! You’re really doing everything that could be done and leaving no stone unturned. That landing was so smooth!
I love that you actually had fun! Found it on google maps in under 5 minutes. Next Oahu trip I need to see it in person.
I can't find it and I want to skate it.
@@JohnDoe-le7ml Just west and slightly north of the Honolulu airport. Near Main St. & Mack Pl.
Damn, took me like 20 or 30 mins to find it lol
@@nomadben Finding things on google maps is a weird passion of mine 😁
@@OhanaFilms found it! thanks.
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.
Your videos are a cure for a bad mood. Thanks for making me laugh. Blunt flip was clean too. So good.
His video sent me into a bad mood. Interesting.
Always entertaining and very impressive with a ridiculous bag of tricks. Much respect
Great tricks and you're a great entertainer! Thanks for the video.
😂Great vid! Thanks for the laughs bro!😂 keep havin fun 🤙
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!
Game of skate on that thing sounds amazing - gotta start working on my front rocks…
That is a horrible quarter pipe. I can imagine a lot of frontside slashes getting hung up! Very good session.
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".
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
I was genuinely concerned for you on that last trick, but it was flawless. That old quarter pipe can now rest in peace...pieces?
I cannot stop laughing bro you verbally violated this park in every way lmfao
Super fun vid. Good dystopian park fun. Subbed
LMFAO “The Flatland Square” 😂😂😂
Also that early grab was NOT terrible it was sick. You are good man.
I had sweaty palms every time you rolled up to this spooky ramp.
I love how jason just casually nails an already difficult trick on a even more nuts structure...
Bro the way you stomped out the Blunt Flip to Fakie was Sick!!!
Amazing video, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber my friend.
This looks like a never finished "Miniramp" wich looks similar to the one in my Town. Just that the ground it was built on is slightly steeper and build from Metal. So on one side you have vert to oververt and on the other side it s kinda usable. Same hight doh
dangerous levels of comedy and skill, holy crap I was lost in laughing
That’s an amazing find. It looks like judging by the imprint that there was another quarter pipe that maybe deteriorated and was removed?
To skate this reminds me of wave skim boarding, where you sprint towards the wave with your board, on-step drop onto the board and hit the wave and ride it back to shore. Sorta. Haha cool vid!

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 energy boost was a game changer
If there’s one person I trust to be the authority on skate parks, it’s Jason Park
Reminds me of back in the day when we used to skate the concrete loading ramp at the local Farm Service company.
Dude you are gnarly. That was impressive skating on that insane quarter pipe
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 !
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!!
Awesome find and epic vid I’m love you Jason ❤
Wow. so impressive i ALMOST FELL OF MY COMFY CHAIR. You make even this look easy. and thanx for really doing your very best;) Thanx bru.. kind of makes you wonder what it used to look like when it just opened.and why more than half of that ramp gone missing?Housing manager got tired of it?
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
Bmx
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.
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!! 🤘🏾
that sound it made on the top of the ramp is beautiful, that skatepark (quarter ramp) is now holy
If J-Park is struggling with the awko half taco, then we all know no one else is skating this face to flat launcher
Bring Gravette out to this park LOL please someone send this to him
Nice dude , I love it. Pretty funny 🤣 That's the first thing I thought when I seen that quarter pipe , half it's height is vert.
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
You probably did the best trick ever landed at that spot with that blunt flip out
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
I was there in '90, it was just the quarterpipe. The blacktop was rideable though.
@@Housetian2 Oh no way. That’s funny 😅 I guess whoever built it really liked quarter pipes 😂
This brings back memories. I lived on Schofiled Barracks back in the mid 90's. They had the exact same quarter pipe.
This definitely earned a new sub 👍
If you can progress skating there you deserve to be an Olympic medalist 😂
Expected clickbait, definitely not clickbait.
yo Jason thanks for showing us this spot. If you haven't thought about it yet you should hit up skate line or some skatepark foundations to let them know that this place is here and see if they'd be willing to build something there, and make a video about it!!
That blunt fakie was dope considering that transition back down😎
Wow that thing blows 😂😂
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
If you guys ever come down to Hawaii I’d love to take you here haha (and maybe some actual good spots too!)
@@JasonParkSucks we will be in Hawaii in September! But we will be on the big island
This vid is awesome! The PMA is great, you remind me of a skateboarding Sam Pilgrim.
08:17 Randy Muller freestyle part! Best part!
Jason I move for you to seek out the local building authorities, find someone who knows about these "parks" and interview them on the channel.
Also: thanks for making me laugh again. ❤
^this^ interview the housing manager from the sign and ask "why this"??
This reminds me of the Skateparks of my childhood, you just made it better somehow.
In Coffeyville Kansas there is a halfpipe in the park that is literally just half a 40' pipe. No coping, no way to drop in safely, just 180° of terror.
I grew up in Hawaii and they had a hand full of those. The flat land was double that. But the exact same 1/4 pipe that was 5' and over vert. Is this near a military base?
Its so cool seeing these ancient abandoned skateparks and thinking about what they used to be
Is that in the old camp Catlin park? I used to live right across the street. Memories
Bro! Big love for going for it! Respect
The run up is like Lancelot storming the castle in Monty Python's Holy Grail.
thank gawd this is geting news coverage! I remember seeing this and even as a kid thinkin (wtfff) like did they give up soon as they started? 😂 when I was in high school just dropping in on that thing was hairy
