San Diego is skate heaven. More skateparks there than anywhere else in the world, its insane

Great video Zack! Loving this series, and this is my favorite episode so far. As a creative, it’s cool hearing his thought process for the designs and the different problems and obstacles that he has to find solutions for and often turn into opportunities. 👌

This is a great gem to the skateboarding community.

great episode! this really demonstrates the amount of energy and advocacy that goes into this kind of project!

I hit the like button so you will kill anyone who builds bad parks. If you need help telling the difference between a good skatepark, and a bad skatepark, I can explain that to you. Or, maybe go to the Dreamland people and talk to them.

Really great video! Thanks for this one! 👍🏼

Wow, jam packed with gems! This is my favorite episode. You & Kanten did an amazing piece right here.

Excellent series Zack …very insightful

This is really great, Zack, probably my favorite episode so far. I'd like to hear more about industry standards and how those play into the design. I actually had a long conversation about some of this with Jim Barnum, Kanten's colleague and it was very eye-opening but I see there's so much more I need to learn!

Zack, thanks so much making these videos! The first one came out the day I made a survey to make my skate park better and we are already working with the city and in our funding phase!

Awesome video. Thank you

This is the exact point I'm at as the project leader of our park, down to the point that we don't want to call it a "park", we got some land deeded to the town for recreational use, we just need a push!! We're struggling to get an organization started to start our nonprofit to start the GoFundMe etc, been working on this for 10 years and am about to rip my last hair out!

Beautiful. Many times less is totally more. I hate feeling like I’m on an obstacle course personally.

Great watch!

Kanten Russell was a killer skater! Huge stairs and super tech!

Been admiring your work on IG, fantastic to hear your insights behind the outcomes. I’m gonna be a landscape architect in a year and my dream is to plan skateparks, still got so much to learn. Thanks!

It would be cool if he talked about what you can study in school or how people can get started using certain programs or whatever methods used to design

Civil Engineering. Start playing with AustoCAD LT. It's a lot cheaper than most other programs for real technical design. I'm not aware of any true design manuals for skatepark design. A lot of it is passed down knowledge.

Really thoughtful dude. wish he would of designed our park rather than tony hawks foundation. Still he shared a lot of points why public projects are not the best set ups for skate parks. though his looked good and I think free space or parks are super important and we need more. My heart is still set on building a indoor park pay to skate set up. super interesting video Zack.

Legend ❤

Nice !!!

We are in rockland, maine!

This is awesome trying to make a utilitarian park

Awesome video! what's the name of the level app?

It would be a tourist attraction for me… I would travel to skate that for a week

Thanks for these videos. Very insightful. They built a new 14,000 sq feet park near me but honestly they tried to cram to much in, there’s no place to stand out of the way and there’s a fair bit of cross flow. So I’m actually pretty disappointed at how it turned out. I shouldn’t complain because it’s still great to have the space but it’s just the little details that let it down.

The details matter so much!

There is a lot of different techniques for the Ollie on transition maybe transitions change so you must change your Ollie style

Well, if the main idea is adding complexity to what would be simple, next time i wanna see you build a 4 floor tall skating building (and for skating only.. without accessible paths for a guy on wheelchair to cruze by while someone is skating ). So, not a park which is single floor/flat. A SkateBuilding park

This really shows the level of appeasement that goes into any sort of government project. I forget that is a major part. How do you make the people that don't want a skatepark happy? How do you make the skaters happy? How do you do they in current laws so the project isn't drawn out by law suits? In the end people on all sides aren't going to be happy. Gotta make them happy enough.

Love the series but I'd like to give a small tip on clipping audio and the alternating stereo tracks, please try to edit parts to a mono or a duplicate of the working one so that we can hear it more clearly, thanks!

perfect example of navigating through a bunch of BS community stuff but making it happen anyway
