It's a weird blessing to me watching John... He reminds me soo much of my friend who was like a brother to me. My friend passed away, but watching John is like skating with my friend in a weird way. I love all your content already, but when John is featured it's kinda special to me. So yeah, thank you both.
This is a perfect spot for Corey Keen to fix up. He's done so much stuff with street spots already it'd be sick to do a series fixing up old spots like this.
They could make metal caps for them that would wrap the top with basically metal coping. Pre-measure them all and pre-fab em then tote them in and out.
i might be wrong but it looks like it might have had a skate stopper on and then they have tried removing that and its just wrecked the rail and deteriorated over the years
We had guns pulled on us in March '98 in Tallahassee Florida! We were just skating a ditch in a gated neighborhood. Got into it with a home owner. Cops came in super hot. They said the call came in as "4 black males, robbery in progress", and we just had to believe them. But who knows though, the people very well could have said that.
@@robertbarnhart7791 when people call cops on skaters they lie all the time, one time they said I was trying to open locked doors to break in when I didn’t do anything like that😂
Even an abandoned building has an owner, and liability insurance blah blah blah. They have to at least make an attempt to stop people from hurting themselves so they don't get sued or whatever.
Those front boards through the chunk were gnarly. Bro, how can you show that spot without mentioning Matt Mumford gap to 5-0!? 😂 The cover of Transworld "The Reason" that image is saved in my brain forever. There were lots of tricks that went down there. Someone gapped to front nose on it I wanna say. Hopefully that spot gets a resurrection!!!
Someone took a hammer to the main curb at one of my local spots recently, left concrete chunks all over the parking lot...Plenty of weirdos out there 😮💨
depends where this is. some gangs areas do this shit on purpose because they are using these places to do "other" things. idk if it was dan, maybe a zach vid early on? some gang was beefing with skaters, and they poured oil and put marbles into a bowl. then use a pick axe as a message??
@@chrisschneider850 would be surprised because this is an elementary school in a pretty affluent neighborhood, but there is norteno territory a mile or so away, so I guess it's possible 😅
Mark appleyards back lip on that thing is insane when you think of the gap, the first part of the rail went out from the high part flat before kinking.
I know bmx'ers go to that spot and thought maybe their pegs broke a chunk off that first rail but to have the same size & style of chunk taken out of all 3 rails is too much to be a mere coincidence. I guess somebody just really, really, really doesn't want people skating there anymore since their willing to go to that length to stop it...
people literally made the rails worse than the skateboarders have done to it. What total hypocrites. You better tell those pesky beavers stop gnawing on that wood.
16:20 They made the rail like that because its cheaper and easier to weld a chunk of tube to the end. Bending tube is time consuming and expensive. They definetly couldve smoothed it out more tho.
I was sitting here thinking of a way to patch the chunks that might last a few sessions and I couldn’t come it with anything. It’s cool someone tried at least. They might of succeeded but it was just demolished again. Could lay a thin steel cap over it but of coarse it just wouldn’t be the same.

Try to repair it. Drill vertical holes with a hammer drill, set rebar in anchor epoxy, build a wooden support form, wet down the old cracked concrete surfaces, fill with concrete and shape it. Grind the whole rail with a disc grinder if needed. Probably not very difficult and not that expensive.
I confused it for a second aswell. I believe the spot your referring to with the bank to wallride is in Atlanta and has slightly rounded rails compared to these..
they probably just messed up that spot becaue Zach Doelling was just skating that maybe like a few months ago. He was trying noseslide bigspin heelflip out down it
So instead of it just being a normal handrail that happens to be waxed, and basically just looks dirty. The powers that be thought it would be a good idea to take massive chunks out of it to stop skaters, like that's somehow better?.. Make it make sense 🤦🏻
Bro im a bodybuilder and it pisses me off that people and authority ruins skate spots for you guys. Especially abandon places who gives a fuck let people enjoy life it is to short already.
talking about swastikas while walking passed multiple peens painted on the wall was killing me
Man, I read your comment as I saw the dong lmao
Sameeeee 🤣🤣

I'm sure he'd be keen to do it 😅
Good point

Oh, got some FUCKIN' jokes, do you, buddy@@user-ne9sd4ow1o ?! 😂
That board to the jaw was crazy. Bro took it like a champ
easy fix. pin two boards and fill it in.
right? 6 dollars for a bag of kwik crete and youre done!
13:30 Dan really turned John getting smacked into a flight Deck ad 😂
i might be wrong but it looks like it might have had a skate stopper on and then they have tried removing that and its just wrecked the rail and deteriorated over the years
muska came to seattle in 1999. there was a hole in a hubba downtown, he plugged the hole w/ wax. so plug he handrails w/ wax.
Dan in his natural habitat @2:33 😂😂
rude.
You could probably temporarily fix all of them w/ 1 bag of quick dry concrete, few cut up 2x4s & screws. 😊
Yep.
If there's gonna be a trick worth going down on it, Rhino will be there. 😂
Skating in a $200 jersey is crazy
I could see if it was in use, but who cares if it's abandoned? They did more damage than a board would.
Don’t underestimate the hate
It's Laguna Niguel. The 1st city who's police drew guns on teenagers/skaters sitting in back of pickup truck during the early 90's LA riots.

Damnn, that rail was crusty as hell! John is something else, mad respect. Powell is so diverse 🔥
you took it like a champ... lip n toung bites hurt like hedouble hockey sticks... sweet tricks on the fd up rail btw your a god John
Surprise Kelvin Hoefler sighting at the end.
Love how the vandals only succeeded in making it more fun.👍🏻
Someone took a hammer to the main curb at one of my local spots recently, left concrete chunks all over the parking lot...Plenty of weirdos out there 😮💨
That sucks.
Idk if it was a hammer, but there is a big chunk taken out of a waxed curb at one of my states skateparks

that's how much pop flight boards have btw
2:27 haha yeah, theres a meme called "hale hortler" with that sort of weird drawing 😆
MichaelDANgelo carving them sculptures.
Dan’s got some good one liners in this vid.
Dude freaking flight deck to the face is intense. Good trick. Insane
I haven’t seen Zach on any of the Powell sessions lately 🤨
I thought Deville was literally paying him peanuts for a sec there.

lol swazy c and b nice...thanks for another banger Dan
John, you are still the man.
Battery powered angle grinder and make those chunks fun lil dips smooth enough to skate through 🎉
you could legit fix all of those rails easily if you could guarantee no one would fk with it for 48 hours. like, permanently fixed.
somebody just go up there with some cement and fix that rail ....wouldn't be that hard and the whole community could keep on shredding this
Just tuck the grinder in your shirt! Let’s Go!
Jon continues his side missions
people literally made the rails worse than the skateboarders have done to it. What total hypocrites. You better tell those pesky beavers stop gnawing on that wood.
Man I'd fix that spot up bondo
is that the old superior courts building in laguna niguel?
Put that first aid kit in your car!
The angle grinder had me laughing.
john is a beast!
Great one!!!
16:20 They made the rail like that because its cheaper and easier to weld a chunk of tube to the end. Bending tube is time consuming and expensive. They definetly couldve smoothed it out more tho.

Fix it! Get two 2x4 with 2 clamps and some concrete mix..bam!!
Send Dowdy the pin and he can fix it up in his next DIY episode
Who’s the guy that did the board slide through the stone rail? I fw him

poor John! Hope he isnt too hurt ... poor boy!
I feel it’s more likely the school who would do it than some random person who hates skating.
Try to repair it.
Drill vertical holes with a hammer drill, set rebar in anchor epoxy, build a wooden support form, wet down the old cracked concrete surfaces, fill with concrete and shape it. Grind the whole rail with a disc grinder if needed.
Probably not very difficult and not that expensive.
can u actually see that happening?😂Def. proper method though.☑️
$200 in Steel Stick and that rail would be good as new 😅
Saw the last step off
I remember Malto skating that spot. Can't find the video though.
Were these the rails that Zach tried nose slide big heel on last year?
You coast skaters I tell ya come up to downtown Minneapolis where the vikings are gonna crush the rams🤣🤣
Just get'n' it no matter the condition
757
When's the next GK Lockers video comin out, brother?
where is it?
I always thought that was the place with the big bank to walk right beside it. Maybe not
I confused it for a second aswell. I believe the spot your referring to with the bank to wallride is in Atlanta and has slightly rounded rails compared to these..
50/50 the big rail and kickflip off early.
Forbidden trick
@patriley2 on any regular rail yes but a chunked out rail I give a pass. Any board slide with a pop out early would work on them.
they probably just messed up that spot becaue Zach Doelling was just skating that maybe like a few months ago. He was trying noseslide bigspin heelflip out down it
Kirchart
Dad Corrigan
More Bradford screen time please, get that boy huckin some shit. Okay let his face heal first.
gnarly

Nice John!
9:24 Poor phillip.. 😢
cant someone try and bondo it? maybe a metal cover or something
Vote YES on proposition 2025 turning JOHN and ZACH PRO !
Little ledges mounted on poles... T

Insane how someone would intentionally do this... Wtf man
Need some angle iron, or square tube cut in 1/2.
Dude what hat is that? My name is technically Bob Baker lol. Weird.
