In case anyone was wondering, this place is vaporized. As if it was never there. Drove by the other day and the entire lot is now filled with shipping containers. Heartbreaking.. RIP...
andrew: there's ENDLESS amounts of abandoned buildings, idk why more people don't do it also andrew: shit happens... guy got shot in the face over there 6 months ago, middle of the day
I've filmed this place in 2014.. I was delivering a load and needed somewhere to park afterwards. I started seeing parents dropping their kids off to this abandoned building. All the kids had skateboards in their hands. Me being from NY, I asked them could I come inside and film them..Kids said kool , Not a problem.. Amazing place..
I'm not a skater but I did BMX back in the day. I really appreciate these guys turning nothing into something just driven by a "screw it, why not" attitude.... I can stand behind that mentality. That's how you get barren concrete jungles transformed into cool hangout spots... just guys wanting a sick spot to skate at. And like he says, you can't really appreciate it the same way unless you were one of the 50 guys actually sitting there forming concrete at midnight in freezing weather. Super cool.... it's a shame places like this are suddenly being demolished, after years (or decades) of being left alone.
NoAnchorTV good luck with that! I don't know the processes of making a snowboard park but im sure the stoke of seeing everything come together is there haha
I get how he feels, me and a few of my buddies had a little skatepark on an abandoned tennis court but then a bunch of kids blew the spot up. So much work for nothing
I used to help build and skate an old mini golf course in Buffalo that was completely over grown and behind a grocery store. At its peak all the mini pools had extensions and stuff. It was awesome. It was in one of the most sketchy places though. A lot of people used to use there. I once saw a guy that seemed sober and he was with this dude high off his ass. The dude just fell straight on his face in glass without putting his hand out or anything. The sober dude did nothing. Just looked me in the eyes and lit a cigarette. I thought to my self “ If I make any facial expression I might be dead”
@@ThePickles69 yeah it had nothing to do with the fact they put an article about it on the internet which attracted thousands of viewers. It was this guy.😂
If I’m not mistaken I think The city of Newark tore it down after street league plastered pros skating it on the Jumbotron at super crown (prudential center) in 2013 or 2014 I forget which year
But i know of a spot in the woods off the side of the highway in north jersey , in like some old building I guess they forgot to knock down after building the highway , I’ll ask if the builders mind me telling since they have so many other spots
I built a skatepark in this abdonded building and we where doing this for 2 months and this was our life staying up till 5 am planing it and where the next slappy rail is gonna go then one day like 15 cops pull up and say nect time they see us here they will arrest us for trespassing
Last questions answer, they are too lazy or think that it comes from nowhere haha. It’s hard work cleaning up and claiming a spot for skateboarding. I hope i can get to that scale someday
The city of newark new about the spot they left it alone cause no harm no foul the property was purchased that's a valuable industrial area that was the only building not building in the area not being used.
people like him keep skateboarding alive for the true skaters

GhettoCeLebritieZ RichSunZ where is it located?
Parents definitely were not dropping their “kids” off in downtown Newark at an abandoned building

More people should! Its fairly cheep and brings alot of people together.
NoAnchorTV especially cheap when you have a whole crew chipping in on materials
Yes! I am building a snowboard park in the woods for next winter and applying similar tactics!
NoAnchorTV good luck with that! I don't know the processes of making a snowboard park but im sure the stoke of seeing everything come together is there haha
It is for sure! Thank you!
NoAnchorTV it is not cheap at all! I build one with my cousin, and it is fucking expensiVe
Rip shortys
Any updates on this homie? Is he still good? Love these segments.
I miss the warehouse park me and a bunch of homies built back in the day...NJ represent!
Love that dude's attitude.
The world needs more people like this that use abandoned buildings and transform it in to skatepark
New York City would be wise to encourage its countercultures.
Me and my friends used to sneak into an abandoned warehouse that had pallets plywood and filing cabinets. It got torn down a few years ago
God bless these men. They are pioneers. Good men.

Hell yah dude!! This guy is awesome and built a sweet ass park.
Anyone know about this guy and his scene? do they have a vimeo or Instagram lol?
It’s not on the kids to teach themselves. So much of this world is if you know you know. Start a conversation today
Wonder if he still lives there 5 years later now
Man I got drunk at that warehouse. Cheers bro! Miss painting at Shortys RIP
Man what a beautiful place.
Any updates on this homie? Love these segments.
The place has been demolished homie
I heard it was demolished and they’re doing it again
i been here 2 years ago it was still there but now when i drive by it looks like it got shut down
where was it ?
Me and a friend are building inside an abandon building. Gonna be sick
I know the building is gone, we need an update on Andrew
Thought this was FDR for a second lol
Wish i could find a place like that to live. Lol like no joke. I'd be more comfortable there than most places. Especially with a skate park in it
beautiful sentence to end on
Skate or diy - Trevox
Don't ride a skateboard but I go there all the time to hang out place is amazing!
So you’re the reason it’s gone
@@ThePickles69 yeah it had nothing to do with the fact they put an article about it on the internet which attracted thousands of viewers. It was this guy.😂
Destry Broderick lol exactly
Motorcycles probably forced them to have to take it down
Is this still around? Where is it?

But i know of a spot in the woods off the side of the highway in north jersey , in like some old building I guess they forgot to knock down after building the highway , I’ll ask if the builders mind me telling since they have so many other spots
So that guy lived there for at least 5 years with no heat or electricity and people were shooting people in the face? That's pretty bad ass.
lolz. and i think my living condition us shitty
Gotta keep a strap if u living like that lol.
I think they lived up the road. In another factory
That's called poverty bro.
I built a skatepark in this abdonded building and we where doing this for 2 months and this was our life staying up till 5 am planing it and where the next slappy rail is gonna go then one day like 15 cops pull up and say nect time they see us here they will arrest us for trespassing
NICE INDOOR PARK
Last questions answer, they are too lazy or think that it comes from nowhere haha. It’s hard work cleaning up and claiming a spot for skateboarding. I hope i can get to that scale someday
