Hi man i love you vids and i hope i can get as good as you at skating hope you have great day :)
You speak so fast 😑
Clip at 8:15 is my local park 😂
I could use all the luck i can get...thanks.

The kids running around one is frustrating, especially when so many skateparks are surrounded by actual parks with slides and playgrounds
Yeah but I don’t have that because there is a park walking distance from my skatepark
mine even has a small safe spot for them to learn to ride/skate
Gg, I’m the 100th like and this is annoying, especially when ur scooter, Bc there’s also skate board and bikes to look out for
Same... I have a BMX park in my town and there is a pump track and I love to ride it. BUT there are alot of parents who let they're little fu**ing kids run aroud it by foot. just pisses me off honestly... ALSO when they learn how to ride a bike on the pump track and they are SOOO slow and there is literaly a pump track for little kids next to it... WHY DO THEY DO THIS
@@FE0003 So true
skatepark story: I went to a skatepark with my friend (I ride bmx) and some other bike rider came up to me and gave me a few tips about how to ride in the bowl. The next day when I went back to the skate park, another pro bmx rider taught me how to jump a gap. It goes to show how nice the bmx society can be. Edit: the same guy taught me to get my bunny hop higher and I can now jump a cone.
Last week I was just skateboarding around at a skate park and then this stupid bmx’er started snake me and other people like crazy
When I go to my local park which we call the top park, I bring my bike to start having some fun on the skatepark, I only have one issue with my bike, ITS A MOUNTAIN BIKE NOT A BMX BIKE. I also tend to encounter a lot of people on scooters using the big ramps that I ride ACROSS so I just go from the left of the ramp to the right. I am also not skilled enough to ride on the smaller ramps. Edit: I normally ride from the left of the ramp to the right when there is nobody on scooters,
So was it like- Aye mate, you wanna know how to [insert offer] And you’re like- oh yea mate!
Bike riders are just the middle of skateboarders and scooter kids

So I’m a rollerblader, I’ve been rollerblading for over 6 years and even though I almost never snake ppl (At least not on purpose) and follow park etiquette, a lot of skate boarders are always aggressive towards me. I usually don’t wax the ramps and stuff unless there’s no one else in the park. It’s sad how rollerbladers are treated by other just cuz we don’t do skateboarding like them. I’m my experience, a lot of skateboarders constantly snake me, it’s annoying.
Rollerblading is still a type of skating. So 🤷🏽♂️ they shouldn’t complain. I’m someone who’s going to be learning how to rollerblade for the first time this year. I really want to get good enough one day to try out a skatepark cause it seems fun. Hearing shit like this is annoying cause it makes me already feel like I am going to have an awkward experience having to deal with people and their judgement.
Tbh I was complaining to myself when this dude pulled up with rollerblades yesterday until he started busting out crazy tricks and shit. He was a cool guy, totally respectful, no snaking, etc. I felt like an asshole
I’m a rollerskater (quads) and one thing to note is how genuinely terrifying it is to rollerskate at skateparks- most of the time, you are the only rollerskater. I have taken the time to learn skate park etiquette but the reason many rollerskaters don’t is because there aren’t many other rollerskaters at parks due to them being scared of getting weird looks, etc and therefore avoiding skateparks so many don’t even know there is such thing
Ikr! Roller skating at skate parks is soo hard. I don’t understand how (even tho I can skate backwards normally) I can’t skate backwards down the ramps. Being the only roller skater there is also really embarrassing 😭😭
im a rollorskater too and im the only rollorskater in the city
@@Joon-uh9lg literally sameee people stare at me as I skate by and when I’m in the skate park in awe. Has nobody ever seen a roller skater before or something??
i roller-skate and skateboard. I find them both fun but if i’m honest, it is a bit annoying to see them at a skatepark since they could just go to a skating session somewhere like a hall. However! I know sometimes they’re not free but it is still a bit annoying, most of the people that roller-skate/blade are pretty nice though. Atleast some of them are good!
Same bro but I'm a scooter guy
Once a family of 4 came and set up a picnic on top on the main ramp at the park and the kids left their bike/scooter in the middle, on the flat ground. It wasn’t a big park at all, but the worst part is, they left all their rubbish and leftovers there.
That's so annoying and could be dangerous
Why would you have a panic at a SkatePark? That is just idiotic and no common sense.
I have a similar story but it was a whole ass baseball team sitting in the middle of a park talking about their game
That sounds a bit odd 😂
Did you throw your vehicle of choice to them?
I was riding my skateboard, and someone said “do a trick” but didn’t know any so I kept trying and I was able to learn a manual, thank you to that guy

I remember being g a kid maybe about 7, I had been Rollerbladeing for a few years and was ready to try to learn how to do do park tricks on my blades and within 5 minutes a bunch of skaters came and yelled at me for being on the skatepark and I just completely gave up roller blading after that point
back in the day Skateboarders were Aholes because they were wannabe Bam Margeras
same happened with me skateparks are really toxic and thats why i dont really skate anymore, especially not at skateparks anyways, everyone just has to complain at you for trying to skate, like sorry i dont have much experience and trying to learn!
@Flex1b0b-_- this is what I feae about skateparks..
Then you picked up a skateboard, right?
skatepark story: So I went to a skatepark one time and saw a roller blader a skateboarder and a scooter rider and they were all hanging out and giving tips. I think it was just nice to see different riders getting along and hanging out together
I am an inline skater. Last year I discovered skateparks. I visited a dozen skateparks and even uploaded a few videos. No one has ever given me nasty looks. In fact I am always warmly welcome and greeted. I think if one shows up with a good attitude and with proper respect for the facility and community, it does not matter what types of wheels they skate on.
@@FredHsu same here started roller blading again after 22y , just watch and wait your turn , show respect and it gets you far :)

One time I was on the sidewalk skating and I saw a scooter person do the greatest trick. My man hopped off thr schooler came back on mid air and did a 180 all on a 4 inch curb. Not annoying just impressive. Dude, I gotta add this, I skate with a hoodie and jeans on in 100 degree weather
Skatepark story: one of my first times going to the skatepark, I had finally learned how to roll into one of the bigger bowls there. There was a kid going the other way, and he happened to slip out as I was coming near him. I asked if he was okay, and he nodded and went back to the top of the bowl. His parents were giving me death glares for the rest of the session, even though he was fine. Message to parents of young skaters: If you think your child isn't going to get hurt at all, think again. It's just a part of skating. And if your child does get hurt, don't just blame it on the nearest other person.
definitely true
My dad used to be skater so he teaches me stuff like rules of skateparks thankfully
been there, parents should be better about that stuff
Yes you're definitely right
@@MrCoolmusclecar yeah some parents are dumb af
Skatepark story: young kid came up to us and said he was a ninja and was running around the park and he kept saying he could beat me up. It was strange.
That is very strange

@@ArtyBeans a strange world we live in...
Lol
It’s annoying how so many parents think that they have so much more authority because they have little kids
Yuppp. Im in my mid thirties and childless. It is genuinely appalling how many people think their children grant them full authority over any other human within spitting distance.
I remember there was this one time where I took 2 of my friends to the skate park and we were all doing BMX. I was learning how to grind and there was this one ledge that was perfect for learning. There was this one roller bladed who would go flying right by my head when I tried to get set up for the ledge and wouldn’t consider letting me pass first at all.
On Halloween, an amputee in a light up wheelchair was chilling at the skatepark with everyone. We had like bike cranks to move the wheelchair so he was getting pretty good arm exercise and he wasn't in the way. He was pretty chill
Cool
thank you SO MUCH for specifying that it isnt ALL SCOOTER RIDERS, but just the annoying kids who get in the way. I am a scooter rider, and yes, like everyone, occasionally accidentally snake someone. But the scooter community also hates the little snakes, and my local park has a playground RIGHT NEXT TO IT, but the parents and even SUMMER CAMPS decide to raid the skate park.
@Azer_TM so u hate the people who actually ride the park and do tricks more than the kids who were dropped off to go there as a playground basically
I’m not saying that little kids don’t get in the way, but if any skater grabbed my kid or trashed his scooter, he’s going to be doing half pipes in heaven.
@@MrMartis913 nobody is abusing kids dumb dumb
@@man12_game I hope you’re right I’m just responding to what I saw in the video. To be fair, I’ve taken my kids to the skate park numerous times and the other skaters were very polite.
Finally someone that understands
Always have enjoyed extreme sports (even now as an adult). Used to hang out with a bunch of guys back in high school who were into skateboarding, wrestling, video games, etc. and on the occasion we weren't busy we would go to our local skate park (which has since been turned into a stupid parking lot 😩). I used to have two skateboards back then, fishtail broke in half after I went (literal) street luge'n downhill on it (I hit the curb, land on the grass, while the board hit the fire hydrant). The second board snapped in two after I grinded a railing at my old high school...let's just say I was walking funny for a while.
Venice Beach has separate areas (across from each other) for roller skaters and skateboarders, would be amazing to see this more widespread.
One time at a skatepark it was totally empty, and this really nice lady took her time to cover up the bad or inappropriate graffiti, and I just had to say thank you to that nice lady.
Not that woman, but some idiots do that at my local skatepark and I'm planning to do this. Thank you!
That was nice of them
You Were fast enough to read that
What a nice lady!

As a rollerblader I always follow park etiquette and I never wax anything. Certain grinds suffer for it but I know people generally don't like it. What annoys me is when skateboarders start hating or having prejudice against me for rollerblading when they don't know anything about me. If they took the time they would find that we share a lot in common. Besides the fact that I also skateboard.
I am a bmxer, i have the same problem too
I’m a rollerblader and I agree
Annoyance makes sense, however it should be treated on a person to person not stereotype.
whats baffles me the most... is that most people who ride bmx or scooter were originally or are still skaters trying to widen their horizons.
There *must* be rules in skateparks saying "If you do not use/have your wheels, leave", "Enter on your own risk, you may get in the way of skaters and might get hurt", "If you're here to complain about the skaters skating, leave. This is a skatepark, not the managers office KAREN", "This is a skatepark, not a playground. Do not leave your kids here", and "Have skating etiquette and dont be in peoples way"
here in dallas texas the skatepark i go to literally is always crowded by rollerbladers and im just trying to wait for a an opportunity to skate and I just hear SQUEAK all the time from them
As a roller blader, my experience with skate parks is that the skate boarders just are so aggressive towards me when I’m just doing my own thing when I’m literally out of their way. I don’t wax or anything, it’s just annoying cause I’ve lost confidence to even go to a skatepark now :/
yeah some skateboarders have a superiority complex, there is to some extent the same vibe in this video. Many skateparks are not just meant for skateboarders, unless it specifically says so, other sports like inline skaters or bikers should be able to use them too.
Yikes I’m roller skating and I’ve been wanting to head to a skate park near my area but this is the exact reason why I’m nervous to, I’m good but I’m a very passive person so I worry that situations similar to this will happen
yea skater kina suck no cap
Bro the blading part was completely false, this guys probably thinking he’s superior bc he’s a skateboarder, also I’ve never used wax a skatepark either.
Bro go away. If you’re that big of a p*say that a few people actually made you quit rollerblading, then I feel sorry for you. That’s weak AF
The rivalry between scooterers and skateboarders is what caused me to drop both and start aggressive inline skating
ME 2 LOL
*Character Development*
Same 😭
aggressive inline is just superior (not in the way superior to other riding sports, no rider wars lol but superior in its own game)
I can’t speak on aggressive incline, however the rivalry goes both ways, skaters think shooters get in the way and shooters think skater get in the way. Both are true. However in almost every case it is the person not the activity. Same with BMX other then the damage and bigger space the bike takes up.
In my area, which is lucky to have a number of skate parks, and more being built, they've made a number of rules to try to mitigate this stuff. R/C cars and anything else with a motor, are all explicitly banned. I had never really thought about it, until I saw the signs at the parks.
The most annoying, this thing happened when they were filling in the bowl in the skate park and they closed the hole thing and it was Christmas holiday
Skate park story: I was skating and I went up a ramp and I slipped. Two people grabbed me and helped me not fall. I was probably 8. If I fell I definitely would of broke an arm. That shows how nice people can be.
That isn't being nice or anything lmao your lucky they have good reflexes

Skatepark story: I went to he skatepark and saw loads of 5 year olds playing on the quarter pipes like they are slides. I asked them to move multiple times and even once they did move, their parents didn't, they were literally sat on a ledge chatting.

lDeyet haha.
@ItzAkiro very lucky
@ItzAkiro lucky I live in greenville home of box so skate parks are hot spots for all sorts of people but mostly people makeing stupid tik told and blocking ramp
@ItzAkiro I have not seen any one borrowed a board but Walmart boards they will just stand on them and do dances
I used to go to this really cool place (I’m a roller skater) which is a cleared out grocery store with ramps and stuff (a Sainsbury’s cause I’m bri’ish 🇬🇧) but I don’t really go there anymore because THE AMOUNT OF SCOOTER KIDS DROVE ME INSANE. for example, me and my friends would just be practicing on a half-pipe and then kids would RUN THROUGH THE CENTRE OF IT. Keep in mind, you can very easily go around and also just in general, the amount of times I have been cut off by kids, or seen kids going around the wrong way, or kids falling over in front of me is too many times to count. The place I went to is made for roller skaters but scooters and skateboards can go there too but I have also seen wheelchairs and even once saw a mother walking around with a BABY STROLLER. I seriously think they should add an age requirement because those places are dangerous for kids under the age of 8. Speaking of kids, they have no concept of self awareness and will go right in front of a speeding skater. I COULD GO ON AND ON COMPLAINING BUT I WOULD BE HERE ALL DAY.
i skate everyday and im tryna learn at my skate park (not the best park in the world) and theres always kids who throw stuff and damage property, they seem to think the skatepark is a hangout spot
I used to skate back when I was a teenager and I was super into it, went on to bmx and now I'm mountain biking and I cannot imagine dumb kids running around and playing on the trails or people blocking the trail because they're making an edgy tiktok or whatever. Props to you skaters for dealing with this nonsense.
wow, that sounds infinitely more dangerous than running around a skatepark I can just imagine somebody taking a selfie in the bike trail, only to get absolutely annihilated by a biker that rounds the corner going 30 MPH

Exiting?
When I was younger I used to run around the skatepark when it was empty but as soon as anyone got there I left so I wasn’t in the way
At the skatepark I go to the bowl is trashed there is some sort of a milk shake stuck in there from about a month ago and dirt and spray paint and even chocolate and sticks and it’s rly hard to even try skateboarding or scootering in there
I really disagree with ostracising types of skaters that are not on boards. Im a skate boarder and I see roller skaters and scooters are as much a part of the skating community as us. It's really important to be inclusive and although you specified that its not ALL of them it still sounds like skate borders are superior and tbf we don't own the parks.
this!
I’m a rollerblader and skateboarder and I totally agree
Naw, get off our courts if you don't play as a basketball player would say!!!!!!

Amen. Inline skaters have a long history with skate park. Why on earth can’t inline skaters use skateparks? The issue is not what type of device you wheel with. The issue is people respecting the facility and the culture.
As a BMXer I can confirm that our pegs do damage ramps, but it's really heartwarming to see skaters are so considerate. If I wouldn't be a BMXer I would probably be a skater. You guys are so chill and nice!
Bro i met only toxic guys
@@d4rwi i have met a mix, most skaters have been cool, but yes douche-nozzles do exist unfortunately.
Ya that is tru
Scooter kids are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying but people that actually go on scooters and are not kids are also very very very chill and nice In my opinion 😊😊❤❤
Interesting in that in my area, most if not all BMXers are also skaters.
I remember going to the skatepark just trying to have fun and then this kid bumped into me, then the kids mother blamed me for hurting her son. She was a karen as well.
Skateboard story:I was at a skateboard park with my friends to skate.And we immediately spot this boy who’s using the skatepark as a playground and he’s about 9 or 10 yrs old and then there’s a teenager riding his skateboard and he doesn’t see the boy-so he crashes into him and then the mother of the boy came and started screaming at the guy how he should be more careful and stuff and the boy didn’t even get hurt much so the mum complained to the security (they were monitoring the skatepark) and they laughed and said they should use an actual playground instead of a skatepark the teen then came up to us and helped us with some stuff tho!He was super kind!
As somebody who does parkour myself i think parkourers should stay away from skateparks in general. not just because "it's a skatepark so skaters should be the only ones" but also because we have a lot more freedom when it comes to spots
Yeh i agree i also do parkour. Like me and my friend found a great stair way it goes from left to right so you can jump and climb there pretty good but then he sayed lets parkour at the skatepark. So i basically sayed ''ill rather go on roofs then going to a skatepark'' i dont go on roofs but i would rather do it.
True
Yeh I do parkour and I would never go on a skatepark
I did parkour at a skatepark before, but that’s because it was like midnight and no one was there, made sure to not break anything
I used to run the gambit (back before I got all old and my joints started to hurt and I got lazy), doing parkour, skating, rollerblading, longboarding, etc., and I totally agree. While skate parks can be fun, and a lot of the time (even though it's not typically illegal) you DO get hassled by security or police for doing parkour for a variety of reasons, but the sheer number of locations you can free run, the fact that you don't have to haul a board around that signals what you plan to do, and that skaters have so much trouble getting spaces of their own makes me generally against parkour in skate parks. If no one else is there (I've done most of my free running at night anyway, when it's too dark to skate safely) then it's no big deal, but if anyone's trying to practice, get some lines in, or whatever then let them have the space. Skaters need that space significantly more than free runners do.
Story: I ride scooter and am a local to my park, some kids were playing on the pyramid in the bowl. I would try to go to another spot in the bowl but they would follow.i was getting sick of it so I waited till they were sitting on the pyramid and went around the bowl and jumped over the pyramid (and them). Here comes the best part, one kid after being jumped 4ft over had the audacity to say "you shouldn't get in the way"
omg

my list that's a very abbreviated version of yours: 1. Children on scooters/pushbikes 2.

The town in WV I live in put in a skate park around 2006 and demolished it in 2010, it was just a 50x50 square of chain link fence with a halfpipe, a couple ramps and a single rail sitting in what used to be a FoodLand grocery store parking lot next to a small park, it was only built as the city councils piss poor attempt at keeping the local skaters off the sidewalks and out of the way as that was around the time they started trying to build the town up as a nice retirement community, but at the same time would leave the gate locked 75% of the time and the cops were called for trespassing on any skaters who’d climb the fence to get in because the city maintenance employees just couldn’t be bothered to unlock the gate, they had camera posts at all four corners of the fence claiming it was for insurance reasons but it was really to catch trespassers, anyone doing graffiti, or anyone dealing drugs (the park across the street that I mentioned had a pavilion where all the unemployed Juggalos, drug dealers and general skids would hang out all day every day but the city chose to target the skate park instead ), eventually they demolished it citing the aforementioned “trespassing”, grafitti and dope dealing but they also demolished the pavilion at the adjacent park as well as the skate park and bought the foodland building to convert into a fire/police station

Fun story: I once went to a push park in Northern Ireland, where I live, it was an outdoor one and was totally free to enter. And one day when I was there some “very smart” little roadman decided it would be a good idea to bring his ELECTRIC scooter to the PUSH PARK, a park that completely functions on kinetic movement. He got in the way of so many people as the bottom of the scooter kept dragging across the top of a hump and then he’d freak out cuz he thought he broke his scooter. Never have I hated where I live more

Yesterday i was in the skatepark doing tricks and some random kids just went into the skatepark to play soccer, and there was a soccer field 50 meters from the skatepark. After some time they ended up hitting me and I complained and they leaved, thankfully.
I worked as a painter and we often had to do repairs on walls and floors. We had a lot of unused cement often and one day had an excess prepared from a trainee. I asked my boss if i can take that bucket of cement home to "fix" something at home. What i actually did was taking it with me to fix a long overdue repair at a local skatepark that day. I know how to do it properly, so it would have lasted as long as no one intentionally destroyed it again. And that is exactly what happened 3 days later. But it wasn't by skaters, bikers or anything. It was our city itself that destroyed it again and they nearly fined me for it, because i pretty much messed with their property. Weeks later i visited and hoped they would have repaired it themselves, but no. They didn't. That was nearly 10 years ago. I recently had the chance to drive by my old city and were able to take a look if the skatepark was fixed at least by now... To say it short. The skatepark doesn't exist anymore. It's now a big empty cemented spot only some old cars were parked at.
I am pretty sure skate parks arent exclusive to skateboards, its just their name. People riding scooters etc are fine by me as long as they have etiquette, what really grinds my gears is abnoxious people who annoy others and are inconsiderate, and yes, that includes the skaters you mentioned getting pissed at scooters and the like.

Exactly
While I can definitely agree that some of these are quite annoying, people practising other sports besides skateboarding are simply using the skatepark "as intended". The thesis that somehow scooters or inline skates are not "skating" and that the skatepark isn't made for them is kind of a self centric way of looking at things. BMX I will give you, but mostly because skating with them is genuinely terrifying sometimes (massive metal frames that if they hit you could seriously injure you). Even then, it's honestly fine and it's better that everyone just feels welcome!

ive never been to a skatepark but am learning how to skateboard. the first time i skated was with my cousin,she was really nice and taught me how to skateboard. she taught me infront of her house since we live in a neighborhood/village.
Story: Me and some people I knew went to a skatepark for a few hours and in that time there was a large group of kids. We were all waiting to ride and whenever we did we just got snaked. We started to tell them to move out of the way then thier parents started shouting at us. We old them we were telling them to move so we didn’t hit them. They continued to complain until they left. It just shows how little parents know
Yeah the kids just kinda are their cuz their parents said so like the can be really annoying but they're just there, then the parents are the real bosses
make one or two fly and they will stop, now i don't even try to avoid them, i go where i go, if they don't move, too bad for them hahaha
@@bmaxime8771but that’s exactly what discourages kids to learn new things like skating. For example when I was a little kid I always wanted to learn ice skating but of course your balance isn’t really that good yet, you can’t really break and have to rely on the ice rink to stop you. My parents took me a couple of times but whenever I was there it always ended with me crying because I was either pushed over or almost run over a couple of times because older and more skilled people would skate super carelessly and purposely not pay attention where they’re going or would always do these sharp breaks right in front of me. It really took all the joy out of it for me and made me afraid of ice skating. I think If we all pay attention to one another we can create an environment that’s fun for everyone. Of course annoying Karen parents are a problem but always remember it’s not the kid‘s fault and that If the kids are actually skating they’re maybe just trying to learn.
My favorite time is when a parent decides it's a great idea to carry their screaming 3 year old wearing Fisher price roller skates over to the deep end of the bowl in the skate park and drops them in right after you drop in and are heading full beans into the deep end... Great fun 😱
Must of hurt
10/10 parenting right there 🥸
Those are awful people,they're hurting not just the skaters but their own children as well
I used to go to this Daycare / after school care, and a few times we went to this skate park and I can't imagine how annoying that would be for anybody not in the daycare (this was for like 5-9 year olds)
2 Asian guys in their 40s have started running skateboard lessons at my local skatepark in Sydney. They come everyday between 3 and 6 with around 15/20 Asian kids. They block up the whole park and sit on the ramps with no ettikate. The 2 older guys are making money and feels like screw everyone else and is mega selfish and annoying. What can we do about it?
As an inline skater and (learning) rollerskater I often avoid the skate parks cause of the fear of getting stares or accidentally getting in the way of people (and maybe also because that the skatepark that's nearest to me is made out of completely metal and you literally have no grip on it) Although I'd love to learn tricks with my inline skates (And when I can rollerskate better with those too) I just don't want stares or people getting mad at me
Bro same
Same
bro, skateparks are for ppl. just go there
I do roller derby and ramp skating and I go to a indoor slate park as a club
7:57 “So if someone got hit by one, it could definitely be a problem” Long story short, I was playing with my friend and jumped off a hill and a RC CAR hit me and flipped me upside down and I broke my arm. He was not lying.
Lmao how do u jump off a hill, also what did the guy driving it say
Skatepark history: I remember vividly i was on the skatepark once i saw kids playing soccer i was like yooo dude this is not a soccer field. Almost sprained my knee for that type of guys.
Atleast you guys have skate parks or a few places where you practice tricks, my country just have roads and not all of them are wide enough to scate safely but you could ride a bicycle or walk
I’ve only been to a skate park twice, both on rollerblades. Even if some of the skaters don’t understand how they work, they still try to make me feel welcome and try to help me learn what certain ramps can be used for! Such an awesome vibe
*I also haven’t ever used wax lol*
I'm from Canada and there are a lot of skate parks
i am Australian and there is one skate park in the whole town
From Greater London and the skateparks r always full of drunk people and barely any skaters in my neighbourhood
Personally, I never faced trouble while rollerblading at skateparks, I’m cautious and don’t snake people. Enough said.
there was this group of roller bladers who were first really good an also very polite and they let me and my friend go before them, i dont have a problem with them if they arent being annoying
i do agressive skating and we do try not to snake people but i cant just jump off my rollerblades so sometimes to avoid getting hurt i have to do so. :)
It's really annoying when a kid gets in my way on the skate park, and what's the most annoying part is that it isn't the kid's fault, it's the parent's fault. There's a seperate area on some skateparks for kids to play, but the parents just want insists that their kid wants to play on the ramp and the bowl. I really get worried that i'll sometimes hit one of the children. I wish parents didn't do this...
one thing that my friend hated at the skate park were kids with scooters for 3yrs old making him falling by touching the board
As someone looking from the outside (don't ask why I'm watching skate videos, I don't know) it's so strange to hear that people in the skate community will treat others differently depending on what they choose to ride
why you watchin skate videos?

@@EvilDaGoat just wondering, I never got an answer
As a bmx rider, I can see why people would get upset over damage to a park, but I think its blown way out of proportion. Most bmx riders use plastic pegs nowadays, which cause no damage. Even those who ride metal pegs (myself included) don't cause as much damage as people say we do. grinding on coping with metal pegs does no damage at all, because the pegs are sliding on the coping the same way a skateboard would. same thing goes for ledges with angle iron on them. When it comes to concrete ledges, bikers with metal pegs cant grind on them well without flipping the bars, so they normally wont. Riders with plastics pegs do, but since the pegs they use are plastic, no damage is caused. I've seen just as much damage done from skateboards as well as bmx riders. Anything concrete in a skatepark is eventually going to get chipped and damaged, and sometimes a bike does that one grind that finally chips it, but sometimes a skateboard is the one to do it. Skateparks are also funded by bmx riders as well as skateboarders, so both have a right to be there using the ledges, regardless of the potential damage. No biker is intentionally chipping ledges, same as how no skater is. Luckily, Skaters and bmx riders have gotten along well together, because both are respectful of the park, and each other. Some people get overly angry at the thought of letting a bike into a skatepark, but the vast majority of people don't care, cause at the end of the day, we're all there doing the same thing.
I dont do BMX, I am on the skate side. But I think it's the same thing as like why any group gets hate and assumed as bad. When I lived in New Orleans a lot of the parks there were old and not good. All the wear over the years made metal pegs damage it a lot worse than it would otherwise. Now that I live near nicer parks I dont see that issue and I've definitely noticed a lot less metal megs when I do see a bmx rider. The other issue is a few to many people have been snaked by bikes. Because the bike is so big it makes it easier to get mad I think. I never have a problem with bmx riders nowadays except the occasional snaking but that happens with Scooter Kids and just less experienced Skaters too. Now I mainly just street skate to avoid it. Honestly, you just do you and if someone gives you crap about it just understand it's really just them being dumb or trying to fit in. I hope you quickly nail whatever trick or thing you're currently working on and have a great day homie.

Truth!
In my community, the skate park was destroyed and crushed, so I and no other rhcoice but to skate around the park. It gets really annoying because little kids keep getting in the way when I do a trick and in the end,I have to bail all the time.
96 degrees is cold for me, where i am the average temp is round 100s if its a bit cool. complete average is 105-110. rn its cold so the max is getting a 100-99.
at my local park, skateboarders, scooter riders, and me (basically the only rollerblader) are actually really nice to each other. i understand the conflicts you are talking about, but i have personally never seen it aside from the younger side of scooter riders who snake everyone.
I take my kids to the skate park, they love watching guys skate and bike. I think if kids are in the way it’s not the kids fault it’s the parents. I’m always making sure my kids are not in anyones way. Just teach your kids to watch out for others.
Bro really said to scooter people, roller blade people, rc car people, and bike people: you’re annoying because you are using the skate park, like u goofy ahh, where else are we supposed to go, the is coming from a scooter/rc car! Very rarely bike person
Reminds me how my older brother is fundraising to get the skatepark upgraded, mainly because a lot of random kids decide to climb the halfpipe and destroy it ffs. He's putting all his effort into it and apparently "is fighting the urge to not deck those kids"
As a scooter rider, I apologise on behalf of the scooter community for little kids on scooters. Most of us are older and have some amount of brain/common sense to not get in the way of people on a skateboard, rollerbladers, and bikers, and when we do, most of us apologise and move on, we don’t want to cause a scene.
my parents were the annoying skatepark parents sad to say. Even at the young age of 8 I knew my mom sitting on a ledge was causing problems and it embarrassed the hell out of me. It's why I didn't properly learn to skate until I was in my late teens
I drive my Rc cars at my local skate park and that place is a hot spot for skaters. And we have a pretty big Rc community so whenever no we aren’t Rc car drivers go to parks we usually don’t go if there are more than 3 people at the park or we don’t go at all if there are people there or we ask if we can drive there
Me at 3:00am: Ok, I’m going to bed now Brain: you like skateboarding now and must watch all the content on this channel Me: *oh ok*
I'm glad this video mentions that a lot of times its not roller-skaters/blades fault when they snake people. I'm a long time derby skater, and I just happened to come across the skatepark a year back. Where I'm from, I often receive angry glares and annoyance literally right when I show up to any park in the area (even if I didn't started skating yet)
prejudice has many forms
I’m not even a skateboarder, but here in Vienna when I go cycling in the city I often see those annoying little kids at skater parks just running around ignoring the actual skateboarders (until something bad happens) and it always makes me angry cause their parents never do anything about it
There is a massive playground next my local skatepark but STILL there are little kids getting in the way
8:27 The spray paint looks sick, what the hell
I've been bmxing since the 80s so back then we really weren't accepted. Skateparks should be built to handle the punishment of BMX, they've had 40 years to realise this. We've all got to share the space and respect each other, parents and little kids are a problem. I often just warn them about the physical danger that they are in. Some of my kids bmx, some skate, I've taught them to be really aware of where Everyone is and what they're doing to avoid conflict and collisions.
good comment mate skaters n bikers still fight
As a rollerblader we don't snake nearly as much as any other sport. The large majority of us are grown adults that completely understand skatepark etiquette. Skateboarders themselves are the ones that are snaking each other constantly but they never want to talk about that. We also don't have to deal with posers because we have little too none of them.
That best thing about being unpopular is that nobody's pretending to be you lol. Rollerbladers can be the best at sudden stops and evasion too.
Nah Rollerbladers snake a lot. I get cut off by them so many times.
96 degrees is the average summer day in az where I live and it's not that bad
First one is too relatable i was skating at a skate park with my friend and these kids were laying in the middle of the park
I am a scooter kid and I never go near skaters so I try to keep my distance but I feel you on kids who get in the way of skateboarders

My local park got shut down years ago due to drug deals and someone getting stabbed and another guy getting shot. Both were separate occasions but the skate park was near a t-ball field so for the safety of the kids the park had to go apparently.
Same. It hasn't been closed down yet but there are a bunch of kids that look 13-16 that vape there because they ignore them.
i am a scooter rider kid but i only use quarter pipe's as a slide if i'm too scared off dropping in on some realy steap ramps
1:10 that’s my local it’s Oakdale skatepark it’s amazing. It’s so cool to see it in your video
10:59 man that hurts my soul. As a skateboarder, seeing that guy break a skateboard relentlessly made me mad.
Cops have no right to destroy personal property like that... The cop or his department better of paid for it
@@Utonian21this is why cops are just glorified school bullies
Bot (i just noticed im a year late)
I once was carving a bowl and some dude with a rc car pulled up and was generally being a jerk about how I was getting in the way somehow.
as a snowboarder, for me in snowparks only issue are people who tend to sit down in middle of snowpark, or people who cant even ski or snowboard that well, and they decide to go on snowpark, just to ride down, be unpredictable, where they will go, or maybe they fall. And for example on bigairs, there are certain trajectories which people take, they line up, and then suddenly one of these people who can barely snowboard or ski, just randomly rides on landing , which is a nono zone for anybody to ride. I have hit a person who i didnt see because of bigair, that hes riding towards the landing and then fell, luckly he ended up with just broken arm for him, but for me, both palms were broken, because i did a 720, and i noticed him midway thru air, and i tried to move my snowboard in a way, so it wouldnt hit his head or something with edge, which could be lethal. And then there are those people who sit down behind jumps, cos, you are on top of the hill, you dont see anyone behind a kicker or something, nobody rides there, the slope seems empty, you ride, and then you jump, and suddenly oh, fuck, there is a couple just sitting there and making out.
All the roller bladers at local park are expert level
OMG. IOnce I swerved to avoid this scooter toddler and got a literal CONCUSSION. The parents just looked at me and walked away with their traumatised little kid as if IT WAS MY FAULT.
why didnt you sue them
@@buzzard3983 sue them for what?? idk they sort of walked off what was i supposed to do
When growing up, I love to skateboard but never skateboard in public. I was always scared even when my parents encouraged me to go. The first time when I went I was 7 years old and some yelled at us. After that day I was scared to go out again. When growing up I would always practice in my garage and never told anyone that I skateboard. When I started to mature I started to realize that the world can be harsh on people and one of those people are skateboarders. I still don’t go to skateparks but I practice in driveways or indoor skateparks now. I’m still scared what could happen to me in the outside world, even this stuff happen to me. Even tho I’m on my property police yell at me, indoor parks there is always going to be one annoying kid. When I get to the age of an adult, I wanna make secret skateparks for skateboarder all over the world so we can have our peace. Im an 17 year old now I still have 4 years to go but still I wanna make it best for skateboarders.
i really love to just run around in skateparks, but i dont do it often if not at all because im afraid of taking up space or getting in the way
