[@OhighOSkater]

Kona looks awesome. Need to make that trip

[@commongamer1698]

Man I remember this place was a level on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. Used to play the mess out of that game as a kid. Just found out this park has always been just 5 1/2 hours from where i live. Definitely have to make a trip out some time.

Amazing editing at 1:09 .... shout-outs to the editor! Seth Brown, your artistry did not go unnoticed! Great stuff.

[@chrishayes8691]

I used to love skating the old vert ramp and the pool back in the 80s. It looks like they re-done the pool and took out all of the vert. The original pole actually had invert.

[@youknowho2541]

Yellow wheels. Your trucks were too loose and you wobbled bub. Tighten those trucks fam!

[@mintyhippo347]

There definitely wasn't actually this much skating. Obviously fake

[@wheelbasemag]

The ratio of party to skate may have been offset using futuristic editing techniques. Or we just left out four hours of shaky, loud, and obscene party footage. Maybe.

[@mintyhippo347]

wheelbasemag :( B-sides? C-sides??!?
