I always forget to talk about where the skatepark is! The first one is Perry Skatepark: 2301 Grant Ave, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 and the next one is Redondo Beach Pier Skatepark: 500, Fishermans Wharf, Redondo Beach, CA 90277
I’m working to bring a skatepark to my town of under 20,000 people. There is a team of us, this was encouraging and informational on what works and what’s needed. I really just want to offer my town the best most sensible and attractive skatepark for generations to come. No reason why a town with tennis courts and baseball fields can’t have a quality skatepark.
Yeah it should be totally feasible. My town has just over 3K people but even we have a skatepark with a halfpipe and some other small features, and the next town over (maybe 15K ppl) has a really nice pumptrack with a bunch of other stuff next to it.
This is Perry park in redondo beach! I grew up skating the three stair and occasionally the four stair that looks like it’s by a new manny pad now. This was THE spot back in the day. Everybody skated there. There used to be signs that said we couldn’t skate, bike or be on roller skates over there, but that was a huge part of why a lot of people went there. And of course we always did it anyway lmfao nobody was really going to stop us from skating, but It’s cool to see that the park changed their minds and did something they knew the locals would appreciate and enjoy. Back when I was in elementary, the teen center by the basketball courts used to clear a portion of that basketball court to bring out store bought ramps and rails and stuff on Fridays, (a lot of the people who worked there skated too) so I assume they might have had something to do with this change and were probably even pushing for it being made into a skatepark for a while. I’m 23 now and just got back into skating a few years ago. I don’t live in Cali anymore but It’s super cool knowing the old spot got a few upgrades for me to look forward to the next time I go back and visit. Lot of great times there. Lot of great memories. I didn’t know about either of these skateparks before today so I’m definitely going back to visit ASAP! Super stoked to try the pier skatepark it looks awesome! Thanks for the video!
Gotta say man I have been watching your videos a decent amount and I love the content and I do aggressive inline I don't even skateboard. But the way you approach the parks and explain everything is amazing keep it up.
I really felt that humbling when after you finally get that nose manual flip off, you fumbled the next flip. Thanks for building skate structures, they literally save lives and give this country a culture.
Man I’m in SoCal and seeing this makes me totally want to venture out of my safe space. I’m 50 and a little nervous. Thanks for being brave dude! Anxiety can be crippling but it’s inspiring to see you overcome it and shred! 🧙🏽♂️❤️🛹
Try longboarding instead, you'll find that you can plan ahead better and fall less. I was able to get my 62yo dad to get on my 48.in dancer once and he was actually able to move smoothly on it the first time with my direction.
Im new to skating but I've been boarding for a while and its always amazed me how well boarders are able to bail. Like that bail at 1:40 was actually crazy keep up the good work!
Hey John ! Theres a fresh new word in the french dictionnary for skatepark : "planchodrome" (pronounced pl-ant-short-drome) can you say it in the next vid please ? It would be a treat for all your french-speaking followers ! Thank you Loved the video, both parks seemed very fun to skate ! Keep killing iiiit !!
John, you’re legit bro. Just subscribed after watching your videos here and there. But keep doing what you’re doing and I look forward to more content.
Bro, I don't know if anyone else notices, but your editing is truly amazing! I don't know how you do it, but on every one of your videos your pops and lands go with the beat of the song. It is truly mind blowing to me how you work that out. It's not like you edit the actual trick. And most times your pop of the trick and land of the same trick is in time with the song! I admire the editing all the time. Keep it up man. I'm along with many other commenters, makes me want to pick a board up again.
ah thanks! it's not so bad to do. in editing you just move the clip frame by frame until the landing and beat sound like one noise. it's like one of those things you might not notice that often when done right, but it feels really jarring (to me) when some one doesn't line up the audio.
Hey John, you provided some interesting information about the parks you went to, but I think many of your viewers would appreciate if you could start by simply mentioning the name of the park and where it is located. I can tell by the comments that I’m not the only one wondering where it’s at. Either way, love to see you showing your love for the sport
I love watching the videos of this guy love watching him skate, I wish I could skate I want to buy a skateboard but my parents say it's a waste but I really want to skate someday
Hey, John. You have any idea what the specs are on that euro gap? Like kicker height, gap length, and step up height? I’m looking at those ledges and guessing maybe 14” and 12”? I only ask because I’m helping design a park in Tahoe and we plan to have a euro gap. That one you’re skating looks pretty awesome. Thank you!
You should come to the Midwest and skate some actually horrible parks or review some DIY spots, I think it would be funny seeing you skate through crust and the massive cracks

Tell them to stay away from American Ramp Co.

I live in a similar sized town and im glad someone built one here.
Dude you looked like you were having so much fun! The mani pad sesh makes me want to pick up a board again after not skating for 15 years!

I love hearing stories and spot history like this. Thank you for sharing
I LOVE your videos. The music, the timing, the editing, the battling!!! Stoked for your happiness. I enjoyed this a lot.
I love how John breaks his skate sessions down. On each obstacle. Love to see the progression
Such a good video John, im glad youre having fun i would have missed watching you skate. Makes me want to start skating again
Big props for putting out content on the regs for the common man. I always watch a vid or two before a session so I'm juiced to skate .
Keep it up! Appreciate the inspiration to keep pushing.
Gotta say man I have been watching your videos a decent amount and I love the content and I do aggressive inline I don't even skateboard. But the way you approach the parks and explain everything is amazing keep it up.
The cleanliness of your videos, tricks, and style is why you are my favorite skater 😅🙏

I really appreciate your format for videos/thumbnails/titles. It has inspired me to do a similar thing and has been wildly successful!!
Appreciate the consistency my brother keep up the good work!

I love how you can make a skate vid into a nice sip-a-hot-drink-n-chill video🤙
Bro, seriously, you're so sick. You had some amazing tricks in this one. Super enjoyable to watch.
5:46 when he thinks Seagulls are Eagles!
All hits are synched with the music! So good!
It’s such a chill spot, I’d love to skate this
your manual tricks are so good. love to see the process
John, you’re legit bro. Just subscribed after watching your videos here and there. But keep doing what you’re doing and I look forward to more content.
MAN this guy is too good. Solid style. Solid tricks.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciated you skating to jazz. Jazz is the best music to skate to imo
That sw heel nosemanny heel out was amazing ! That perfect foot placement landing in the manny
Great idea!! Would love to see more of these!! It's like a legit diy!
That seagull was so stoked you called him an eagle.
😆
That front side flip on the quarter was hella extra! I liked it but it made me laugh too
I don’t even skate but I really enjoyed this video. You’re a vibe bro. 😎 I felt like you were teaching me
Front flip to sw manual looks so good ... one of my favorite tricks (to watch)
Love the facts and figures about the spaces you're skating in.
Maaan, i love your skating style. It´s so satisfying to see.
loving the handstand/cartwheel bail
Such a chill vid ❤
👌Chillin. Thanks for the vid John, super relaxed and enjoyable.
A.W.S.O.M.E, I ENJOY YOUR VIDS SO MUCH!!!!!!, KEEP IT UP!❤

Dudeee i love how when he pushed the manuals down the music sorta matched
Where is the 30K park located?

Killing it with the manual tricks

This dude has undercover cop energy
Nice one John!!
Buttter!! So good! Thank you John!❤
It was so fun to watch
Man you skate so much better goofy than me. And it's my regular stance 😩
Mad props
cant wait to see you skate the new silverado !!
The music matched perfectly with the fs flip manual part
Skatedogs used to bring ramps here and do skate lessons! They definitely picked a great spot for it. It's good to see cities being so cool like this!
Damn - @7:11 that FS flip/switch heel line was clean bro!
That second skatepark looks AMAZING!
Dope video John!
i go to that beach often and its very nice to see someone make a video of that skate park try there food there its good is hell
Lol I adore California skate parks. Almost wanna live there for 6-12 months hitting all of them daily. great video man
switch heel nose manual fakie flip
and smooth as butter

That foot adjustment mid switch manny made my jaw drop
kickflip nose manual nollie flip out was sick

Either way, love to see you showing your love for the sport
absolutely in the future my bad 😅 i'll pin a comment with that info
Awesome video man
That was sick
that fs flip to switch

There's an Easter egg hidden 1:46 🎉
John Hill is a national treasure
I love watching the videos of this guy love watching him skate, I wish I could skate I want to buy a skateboard but my parents say it's a waste but I really want to skate someday
Master shredder , good job bro
Hey John, whats the reason you prefer Thunders? Have you skated aces or ventures?
7:11 bro you barely made that fs flip that was dope 👌
Im hyped
Im gonna go learn mannies now
Switch heel nose manual fakie heel out is INSANE!
Hey, John. You have any idea what the specs are on that euro gap? Like kicker height, gap length, and step up height? I’m looking at those ledges and guessing maybe 14” and 12”?

Looks awesome
that park was crazy. we all need that kind of mayor 😣😣
cartwheel bail earned a sub my guy ;)
Are bmx bikes welcomed at the redando beach park?
This is super cool!!
Love it💯
Is there a park/location you recommend for newer skaters to learn street?
love ur work John. come to denmark soon:)
Switch heel, switch nose manny, switch nollie heel is insane :O
Funny looking eagle 😂
Can't wait till Giger hits this park
That redondo park is so fun the first time I skated that park i was going ham on every trick I knew 😂
I wish so much to have a place like that here in my town, sooo gooood small park woth good things to try, these wallie/ledges looks so good
Looked like a class session
You should come to the Midwest and skate some actually horrible parks or review some DIY spots, I think it would be funny seeing you skate through crust and the massive cracks
Hell yeah John 🤙👊🔥
2 funny little curb thingys however 2 of those 1/4 pipes would be excellent
How on earth did that park cost 30 grand? It literally looks like 5-10k at most
I want to go out and ride now thanks man
Calling Seagulls Eagles is quite the upgrade for them
