I still can't believe that not one of those California skateparks survived. I'm from Boston and I still dream about all those parks from that time period and I never got a chance to skate any of them. I can only imagine what the locals felt like. I wish someone would build replicas of these parks. Vans has done a good job with the combi.
To bulldoze a place like that is criminal. To think of all of the big names that have skated there and all that's there now seems to be a car park?
A real tragedy.
I mean it would be awesome if it were still here but if you were the owner back then and you find out that kids are hopping the fence and not paying, and they poop in your office, what motivation would you have for keeping the park around?
As a 3 year member of the Skate Ranch (84-87), I can say my best memories were there. The Hawk vs Hosoi battles in the contests and just cruising the park.. The Keyhole was where the all the bad a**es skated, you knew you were it when you dropped in and was able to do something other that stall out or bail. The parks today are cool but, will never be compared to the Ranch!
I think that is how all of us locals felt when The Turf in Wisconsin was dozed. It was for me a heavy, sinking feeling, and the sadness of knowing that it's not going to be the same without it. There was nothing at all around us like it. I still miss that place.
Skating will always be changing and adapting, but certain spots are immortal. Del Mar seemed like one of those places.
kevin r pff don’t compare our park to some Midwest dump
kevin r That and Rotaion Station in Rockford IL. I stayed in northern IL so we used to hit both of them up.
@@cba.literallycant. nothing out there compared to Cherry Hill in Jersey.....the best planned and laid out park ever built bar none , ask any real pros from back in the day.....it just didn't last long and not many of these guys in this video got to ride it......
As skaters we appreciate the park, the locals and culture that DMSR nurtured. It's part of what made us get into skating rather then something else. It was fun to make. Thanks - Ride
Hell yea
Tony Hawk should rebuild it!!
Honestly
JGB was THE MAN! The most iconic photos of that special era in skating were from this dude. RESPECT. Will FOREVER cherish the sessions at Del Mar. What a privilege to have skated that place. RIP.
History and legendary moments happened there kids. Skateboarding would not be what it is today without Del Mar and places like it.
Great childhood memories, special place.
Are kids today going to be saying thirty years from now, man, starring into that phone was some good times!
@Bass Fishing with the Antichrist ok boomer
kids today are still shredding, boomer.
Skated Delmar the winter of 86/87. Totally stoked to see this documentary. And equally stoked with all the concrete waves getting built nowadays! Keep shredding everyone!
Never skated or even visited Delmar Skate ranch but through magazines I felt some kind of connection to the place.
I never really skated, but I always hang out with skaters. I miss those days and these videos bring back a lot of memories :)
Del Mar Skate Ranch was the Apollo Space Program of Skateboarding. Thank you 900 Films for creating this amazing look into the history of the skatepark that meant so much to so many.
My older sister let me tag along sometimes from '82 to '86 so many amazing memories. I remember Grant taking pictures. We always called it Surf & Turf though.
What a good video takes me back to the day of real riding..... If people only knew how and why skateboarding ended up the way it is today....
Such a fun park to skate, even to just go and watch after surfing Torrey Pines. It was torture when they destroyed it! I remember seeing the demolition from the 5 freeway.
I spent many hours there as a teenager. I remember some kid, not sure who, would come out of the keyhole and do a front flip and land on their feet. Amazing.
Keyhole was the first place I dropped in vert, the left side. When I got to the other side I hit the coping and nearly died. Our parents dropped us off and we'd skate for hours. The two pools next to Keyhole were sketchy as hell, but so much fun! I grew up idolizing Grant Brittain's photos, forgot he worked there!
The last scene gave me goosebumps, all the concrete rubble from the demolition. Sad.
Brings back great memories. Lived there from 82-86 everyday. The McTwist was Tony’s trick and I believe he broke his leg there if im not mistaken
Kevin Staab is the cockatiel of skateboarding, he wore more pads and safety gear than anyone else, probably why he can still skate later in life...
More, More, More!
Love this, great memories. Thanks guys!
man what i would do for a Kevin Staab witch deck again!
Look on eBay..
Ebay,
@@dotty7992 really .... go find me one on ebay if you think its just that easy
@@trimmin420 I'm a Natas Kaupus and Mark Gonzales fan myself, but I will keep an eye out. ;)
Rad content , thanks for posting
I love these documentaries this should be on tubi
Growing up in South Carolina where all we had was pavement driveways or flat parking lots. Man I would have been in heaven at Del Mar
I got to skate there off and on from 82 to 85. The Navy made sure it wasn't too often.
They dug it up yesterday.
Exact copy of this park is coming to Branford, Florida.
In a way these guys are OGs and it's awesome that they got skating started and kept it alive during the 80s. But jesus, skating is so much better now. Nostalgia is not better than progress. Know your roots, but make your own history, too. carry the torch
late 70s and early 80s, we used to jump the fence on the freeway side to get in. Fun times!
I was there. I own the memories.
That would have been great to have. We had nothing in central Texas like that.
As an old 80s skater I can say it definitely kicked ass. But most of us were just trying to keep up with all of the amazing tricks those guys were pulling. Now we just try to protect the knees while we carve the bowl.
We had a similar thing happen here in SA a few years ago, they bulldozed our concrete park Boogaloos
GOOD TIMES !
I loved that place. I had A dream I was skating around the little palm trees an rolling into the peanut pool.
Please do the Rise and Fall of the Carlsbad Gap. One of the gnarliest and most influential street spots ever.
i feel for them. its hard when your second home gets closed down. my local parks vans orlando just closed 5 months ago. its just terrible
we need more spots guys!!
indeed, that is the memory i have from the late oceanside skate park, it was a bloody free for all, i saw lots of gnarly shite go down there, not just skating but just lots of good times and crazy days. it s a shame the city destroyed it and decided to do absolutely nothing with that property. it still remains to this day and empty lot. what a disgrace. cheers from oside
They closed it down?! D= I've wanted to skate there my whole life.
I liked the square pool alot👍
thanks you Ride for making these. so dope.
reminds me a lot of ocean bowl today
I'm surprised Tony hasn't had it rebuilt
you just broke my heart dude
Del Mar Skatepark was , in my mind the best Skatepark in San Diego County it was a shape like a Horses Shoe like D.P. said find a line . If you can ride a pool or Wood Half your good . Locals were down . Every Skatepark has locals . Locals are nessessary. Good times. A break from O.C. OR L. A.
glad i got to ride it
Bulldozed just to be an empty lot... what a waste...
Yeah it was supposed to be out last week. I wonder what the hold up is?
ROCK onN
I'll tell you now, because so many have asked why it closed. It was because of insurance & not being able to insure the park. In the end no one would insure it & because of county laws it had to be closed down. I'm not sure if anyone sued Del Mar Skate Ranch for damages, but that's the main reason. Funny it closed just before the big boom of skating from 1988. Anyway I'm proud to say I skated it & will never forget it.
I’m supposed no one remade this park I wanna skate this so bad
Owen Nieder, I havent heard that name in years...
I remember always wanting to go there and then Thrasher doing the photo shoot of it being destroyed.
He actually came in the late 80s to Manassas Virginia and rode our ramp and stayed for a long weekend....
Part 2 please
What about the concrete wave and big o in Orange County?
Is part 2 coming out anytime soon? Lets go!!!!
dont forget about the whole not having youtube or any sort of internet access to other skaters. Only way you would even see new tricks would be in a magazine, probally once a month or every other month.
I saw Blender and clicked.
Every park in California got dozed over insurance issues. Spring Valley(Skateboard Heaven), Oasis in Mission Valley, Home Ave Park, Carlsbad, Upland, Winchester ect..
DMSR was the only park left in the SD area but like all other, money and insurance laws here in Cali were too strict.
The best thing to ever happen is to label skateboarding an "extreme" sport and remove liability from the city and now there are parks everwhere. Too bad it didnt happen back then.
I like Lance's Lord of the Flies comment. That is so true, however, when your young its cool...when your an older guy at the park, its not so cool.
That spot for them is like our l'toro or our carlsbad gap
think of coming with newage skateboard to 80 looking strange but you do kickflips easy fakie ollie and stuff
Duane nailed it.
It was like their camp Woodward
Upload part 2 already,its been 3 weeks.
Dude, that park manager looks like Benny Hill.
I've been skate boarding since I was 7 growing up in queens ny and I was born in 00, street skating is fun but I wish I was a kid in the 80s to skate these type of spots
What were the dimensions of the keyhole ?
Skateparks are shrines. Treat them like they're sacred. Because they are.
Who's the Blondie at 9:17, looks familiar
I miss hand plants
Ventura Ace
Part 2??
it said christian hosoi on the title but he wan't even in the credits or on the film skating.....huh
1 person bounced with the turd in the highball tent.
They destroy a place for kids to hangout and have fun and turn it into an empty lot?!! That’s seriously messed up.
That's capitalism for you .
@@jimmytgoose476
Ya maybe. Although I’m all for capitalism.
Why is that then ? It's destroying the planet and corrupting mankind .
Anyone know what music track is playing at 2:07?
Where is part 2?
To you guys who think back then was the shit. Skateboarding was considered a crime back then. All the parks closed across the country, the mags changed or died off. It was not cool to skate at all, it was considered a kids toy. We lived for the pics in the magazines to see what was going on and how to learn the new tricks. You were rebel thats for sure. All 3 parks closed in Va Beach so we built half pipes. It was awesome but man if I could have lived by a park like Del Mar or Upland.
Peanut bowl!!
if you dont give that envelope you have no idea whats coming
I have an original del Mar deck
Tony Hawk sent me
Grant- I'm sorry we were such fuckheads.Toby.
you forgot about Gator to the added list of skaters at DMSR
Have you figured out why yet....?
Del Mar made skateboarding. Skateboarding would'nt be where it's at today if it wasn't for Del Mar....
Does anyone know exactly why it was closed and bulldozed?
Wikipedia says the owners sold some of the adjoining land and a hotel was being built . The new owners didnt dig having a skatepark next door so it had to go ☹
@@jimmytgoose476 ah that makes sense! Appreciate you. 🙏🏻
You're welcome ✌
I think Kevin Staab is slowly turning into Sally Jesse Rafael.
Multiple stories of kids pooping at the park, hopping the fences and not paying; why are you all surprised the park was shut down?
Don't forget skatopia
SECOND!! oh wait...
First place I played 720.
I used to play it and Super Mario too. I spent many a weekend night at the Ranch.
00:15 holy shit swamp ass/balls ahhahaa
Skate parks back then look more fun :/
All you talked about was key hole Possibly the worst part of that whole skatepark
But why do they bulldoze all the skateparks like Del Mar and Kona?
M.A. K Konas still standing
