The history of skateboarding is actually so beautiful
I moved there from Iowa. I had nothing even close to this park. I knew of it from the Tony Hawk games and also from the locals. I literally teared up when I pulled into the parking lot. I could just feel history when I pulled in, like no other Iowa kid has seen this. It was so beautiful, I still tear up to this day lol. The Ramos family is so nice and everything they do is awesome. Thank you Kona and to everyone that keeps it running.
People often seem to forget the roots and origin of skateboarding... This was a sick piece!
People don't forget, it's the new age that doesn't know
pretty cool to see the origins of longboarding and skateboarding as well as how blading help kept kona alive today
First skatepark I ever skated! Skated there from 1984-86 before moving. I got to meet a few pros during that time. Mike McGill, Tony Hawk, Fred Smith & numerous others! Such a special time for me!
I love this park. I skated it after I shattered my wrist and everyone was worried about me skateboarding so I snuck off to Florida and rode all over town till I found Kona and then next day skated the hell out of that place. This is after building the metal park. I love this place. It reminds me of the old Pink Panther Skatepark.
The story about the grandparents almost made me cry...
I was just at Kona yesterday. It's always fun whenever I get the opportunity to go out there, I always learn something new. It's just a really awesome well-rounded park where everyone can go and skate how they want and have fun with it.
This is absolutely LEGEND ive never seen Rodney that small!!!
Lived in Jacksonville my whole life and live literally 5 minutes from this epic skatepark. It's sad to see it today in such bad shape, they don't sell boards or equipment & it's always in disrepair and dead.
that’s so sad. why is that? it’s has loads of fun things to skate. has skating died in florida, or are they all street skating?
@@skaterdude14b I lived 20 min from Kona. The owner, from what I know, just neglected the park due to money problems I think. The street section is garbage now. Sucks... Skating is not dead in Florida though, you can find plenty of great skateparks around Jax.
I've left so many square feet of skin on that crete... Mrs. Ramos was my Mom away from Mom for many a summer in the 80's. I still donate blood there on the regs too!
ErgoCogita I remember Mrs Ramos from THPS4 😂
I am an inline skater but always respected skateboarders...we are all family
No we aren't fruit booters suuuuuuuck
FunkyDoolittle we must join together against scooters
Stedman Gram no. Scooter kids suck. We have to team together to take down a bigger evil
Kona Jacksonville fl I skated this park almost every weekend.. I saw the entire bones brigade there.. Good times back in the 80s- early 90s.. Thrashers in Ocala, fl was another park we quite frequented having grown up in Gainesville..
The ride channel should have a day a week dedicated to vintage rodney mullen clips
This may be the coolest video I've ever watched. Thank you
I love that my local park is kona if you haven't been yet come skate there is always good times waiting
KONA Skatepark is Great memories! Some of the Best Contests and Coolest People. I always looked forward to going!
Pipeline...gone. Del Mar ... gone. Kona still stands like the Stonehenge of Skateboarding
Looking forward to checking it out in 4 days. Absolutely love the history of skateboarding. It is a young history and it is awesome.
I feel very fortunate to have spent the years I did at Kona and to have been allowed to roll around in my pathetic way with the real locals. From the perspective of 30 years, it's cool to have been on the periphery of something special like this.
holy moley pls keep this documentary vids coming and thx for making this one
Thats why i love skateboarding as a sport, its not just a hobby, or an activity, its got such a history, like, skateboarding was the icon of those times, and to see now how its progressed, its just so amazing to be part of such a large skateboarding history and community ya know. im all emotional, get me some kleenex.
I was told its a phase im going through...😂. A phase called life
Really opens your eyes on skateboarding and what a influence it brought on.
"He became...Rodney Mullen".....statement of the century.
Thanks for the posts! I skated here a lot in the 80's and early 90's. I loved to go at night when the park was virtually empty and a lot cooler. A lot of my skin and blood ended up on that concrete, but it was all worth it. The old blue u-pipe was my favorite ramp there. You had to get used to the quicker transition from one side to the next, but after you got that, it was a ton o' fun. It was hard for me to leave it to skate the rest of the park, but I had to "get my money's worth". You could haul ass on the snake run and carve out some fun lines! The last time I was there, my friend broke his leg in the bowl, and I had to carry him out from the bottom and to the hospital. We had just paid for another hour too!
reminds me of THPS4
rck3321 YESS
Loved Kona on that game!
Best days of skateboarding, skater 4 ever, awesome, thanks for the video
I'm from Massachusetts and I'm heading to Kona in a few weeks. Psyched!!
I got chill when I found out that Rodney Mullen and mike McGill and tony Alva skated there because I literally just skated that park today, 50 years later
The first time when I went there, it was so cool walking outside
SUCH an important video. Proper roots.
Rodney forever king
agreed
The Hendrix of skateboarding
@@FabioGnecco true this...
wow that halfpipe at 2:53 is massive!
Kona has been a major part of my past. I can still remember skating the vert ramp and scarring the birds off of their wire.
Carlsbad definitely should be paid homage to since we just recently saw it's passing on come about.
It's a legendary spot here in San Diego and such a momentous part of skateboarding history.
We bladers helped the boarders come back in the 90's, and now the boarders have left the bladers in their dust, thanks.
ive lived in jax for years and been to kona a couple times. i always ate it at the bowl from the time i started skateing around thirteen to today i still fuck up atleast once in the bowl. almost twenty years old and that park is some of the most fun i can have
CASkateparks should add a street section. It's such an influential park, that it needs to be both modern and classic.
more kona !!! and vintage skateclips. skateing roots are now deep in american history
Mental place I love it. Not heard Bio used for a few decades either.
Marty Ramos rules. Thanks to the Ramos family for their passion project for forty-three years (so far)!
its good to see my home park on youtube
this video got me so emotional
that drop in was fucking gnarly
my carlsbad high school in 1984 to 1986 in the past. I happy your history and great but now is miss. I love your film. Awesome THUMB UP! :-)
I want meet talk Rodney Mullen .
It makes me want to actually ride a skateboard. Kona was one of the first parks I ever skated. Never was much into video games.
More documentaries like this please!!
This makes me wish my parents were into skateboarding
I went to Kona in 1984 and it was huge park. I saw a kid just ripping and asked somebody his name, they said Buck. He had a bald head and ever since then till this day I have referred to bald guys as a "Bald Buck". I had no idea who he was or anything till watching this video now in 2013. Wow.....thats freaky. Cool that his is still skating.
I rode Kona back in the day and it reminds me of the Mall Wall skateboard park in Springfield Virginia.... Mixed with Barney's concrete curl down in North Carolina in Nags Head.... Those were the days....skateboarding was developing and getting faster unlike today how it is actually getting slower....there was an aspect of skateboarding USA which was a skateboard park in Manassas Virginia... Bonnie and I rode this park religiously in Manassas Virginia.... Her brother Blaize was just a youngster...
just beautiful
good old times

She: Are you high?!? Me: No. I'm watching 70's Skateboarding.
Love the history of skateboarding
I've skateboarded from the early 1980's through the late 1990's, I skated with Lynn Cooper and Russ Howell and competed against some of the best and never heard of Buck Smith until watching this video. Perhaps because all the guys I skated and competed with are on the west coast.
Great show guys.
KONA needs to be on every skater's bucket list... I'm only a state away and am going in June for my 2nd time... and I hope to go even more frequently...
Since you clearly didn't read what he said properly, I'll repeat it a bit better for you.
"Man I love skateboarding these days, but old school is the best. Thank you for uploading this magnificent video."
Wow the first drop in, now thats legendary
I'm proud to live in Jacksonville for this reason only
Awesome. Absolutely the best!!
I live like 15 minutes from Kona.. DUUUUUUVAL! :)
so good!
Greatest skatepark ive ever been too. Thats all i can say . Im going again on Saturday :)
Man i love the Skate today but fuck this is Old Skool the best thk for upload this magnificent vid bro
Kona Locals only! I wonder how the vibe was up there?
I hope i get to skate there in the near future.
That park raised us! They used to have to put Coke cola on the ramp with a mop and mop it so it wouldn't be slippery!
GREAT VIDEO! You should perhaps do ASTOR PLACE NYC w/Alex Corporan and the SHUT skates crew.
i was driving on my home from florida and my parents suprized me with going to this park and when i saw it like freaked out like no joke..
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Best post eeevvveeer!!!!
So cool
I still have a Buck Smith wizard deck. Great times.
Man, skateboarding is fucking ancient. Long live skateboarding!
I love this park... Go almost every Sunday.
2:53 the first mega quarterpipe
So awesome yeaaaaahhhh!!!!
We used to have a great 10ft vert in my town, but the government tore it down after 20yrs...
Ohh Kona, how I would love to ride this place so... :)
Skated my ass off there. Snake run and front slide revert on the big wall!!!! Yes!!
Sorry. It's just... I'm happy, 'cause I freakin' love Kona. Gotta go there some day.
I've been to Kona once. The place is fucking rad!
+Gavin Looks like a fun place...plus, a lot if history too.
kona ftw !
WTH!!! I live in Florida and thought Kona Skatepark was in Hawaii all this time! I have to go now!!!!
I just started skateboarding, and i think thing like this just stimulate my generation too do something else then gaming and that stuff.
Why not both?
you should do one for derby in santa cruz california
derby was the fuckin spot! all through the 90s we'd have over 50 to 100 people meeting up before going to a show. old school hip hop like gangstar guru,krs one, digable planets. or punk shows lag wagon, nofx,pennywise, good riddens, and yes black flag. lol smoking bamer weed,dropping lsd when it was 2 bucks a dose.lmao shrooms, and lots of mickey's grenades. more chick's than dudes, and massive mash pits. the skate sessions before the shows with all the chick's watching from school was rad as fuck to show out. only skate park anywhere on central coast California at that time. some time later was the skate station in sand city but that's another story. DERBY PARK SANTA CRUZ CALI! HE'LL YEA
SKATEBOARDING makes me happy and YOU should try it too
GET EMB, EL TORO, CARLSBAD, HUBBA HIDEHOUT and all the other famous spots!
I'm from the east coast. NC actually. Did any of you guys ever go to the skate park in Cherry Hill, New Jersey? It only lasted like 3yrs. 80 to 83 maybe. I went and at the time it was the best park in the country. The place was loaded with pros who came from the west coast. I saw lots of my idols that I had seen in Skateboarder magazine.
I love that park I love next to it it has the best.vibe
1 clip of rodney mullen
