judging by the sign that says its for the "housing residents", one can only assume there used to be a bunch of town houses and stuff there, maybe even more of a park.

Context is always key. When a spot is a legitimate “skatepark” there is the expectation that the design will facilitate, rather than hinder skating. But when a spot is “natural,” the expectation is less and more leeway is given judging suitability. In the context of a skatepark, this spot is awful but if it were found in the middle of an industrial park, it’d be accepted as weird and challenging.

I have pictures of skating this in 1990 when I visited in the Navy. Saw it from the freeway and made it a mission to find it. So, where you see the "road", it used to be semi-decent blacktop but has since worn away. Only the concrete pad is left. It was terrible, and so was the wooden skatepark at the AFB down the road.

And for the guy who said it's for stalls, there's only a couple stalls where steeper is better, and absolutely no one would build a ramp just for icepicks/toothpicks. This thing's transition is a mess when you look at it from the side. Who's this actually made for? Whoever wants to ride a wonky, odd quarter I suppose. I just think it was made poorly

Personally, I skate a lot of crusty ass streets and empty parking lots with no obstacles at all. Many might call them boring. I think they're grand.

So from looking at the condition of the cement and the ground in the surrounding area, I can guarantee that at some point that was a full halfpipe, what happened was that both the transition ramps were poured out of solid concrete, but they did not design a foundation that could support that much weight. As time went by both sides started sinking, but one side had worse ground conditions and sunk further down making it unskateable, so it was removed. In the flat you can actually see where the cement cracks and goes slightly more downhill because of the remaining quarter pipe sinking down from it's own weight.

Im gonna take a guess and say this was probably a full half pipe/spin ramp a long time ago. When skating really started to explode in the 80s it was all vert, and if im not mistaken there was a healthy skate scene in Hawaii back then. It probably used to look similar to the Animal Chin ramp.

It seems this was put there right in the beginning of skateboardings life. Back when the skate competitions consisted of flat ground and like one or two ramps. This quarter is actually probably among one of the first quarters ever made.

If I had to guess judging from that Housing Manager sign, either the developers ran out of funds/ran into a dispute shortly after they started building and the project was disbanded, OR residents complained to the Housing Manager about skaters in the area which caused them to can the project.

that sound it made on the top of the ramp is beautiful, that skatepark (quarter ramp) is now holy

I love how jason just casually nails an already difficult trick on a even more nuts structure...

This looks like a never finished "Miniramp" wich looks similar to the one in my Town. Just that the ground it was built on is slightly steeper and build from Metal. So on one side you have vert to oververt and on the other side it s kinda usable. Same hight doh

Awesome find and epic vid I’m love you Jason ❤

I found your video yesterday and just got recommended another "WORST SKATE PARK EVER" video. You're right, it doesn't compare. Not even close. Subscribed.

I like the theory that there was another quarter pipe making it a sketchy halfpipe. Maybe it was stage one of a skatepark that never got finished. Or maybe there were more obstacles that got torn out... In any case thanks for showing how much fun you can have with a positive attitude!!

I was genuinely concerned for you on that last trick, but it was flawless. That old quarter pipe can now rest in peace...pieces?

This definitely earned a new sub 👍

Bro! Big love for going for it! Respect

dangerous levels of comedy and skill, holy crap I was lost in laughing

This was the video I didn’t know I needed til I saw it. Also that ramp has been like that since I was in elementary, I used to drive past it on the way to school every morning and always wondered why there was only half the ramp. I think there used to be other playground equipment by it but they took it down. That blunt kickflip was amazing man !

This brings back memories. I lived on Schofiled Barracks back in the mid 90's. They had the exact same quarter pipe.

In Coffeyville Kansas there is a halfpipe in the park that is literally just half a 40' pipe. No coping, no way to drop in safely, just 180° of terror.

That energy boost was a game changer

If there’s one person I trust to be the authority on skate parks, it’s Jason Park

That’s an amazing find. It looks like judging by the imprint that there was another quarter pipe that maybe deteriorated and was removed? To skate this reminds me of wave skim boarding, where you sprint towards the wave with your board, on-step drop onto the board and hit the wave and ride it back to shore. Sorta. Haha cool vid!

i always think the same thing. i see the "worst" skatepark videos and think how privileged they are to even have one at all and some are completely skateable. most little towns and villages in my area have laterally nowhere to skate not a single flat surface and the nearest skateparks are completely broken from a design stand point (stairs and rail with no run up, metal ramps that are not flush to the ground, cracked rough terrain etc) far worse than anything in the "worst" skatepark videos.

Its so cool seeing these ancient abandoned skateparks and thinking about what they used to be

This vid is awesome! The PMA is great, you remind me of a skateboarding Sam Pilgrim.

there was a spot like this where I grew up where a truck bay to an old building had a huge dip down that was basically the neighborhoods quarter pipe and we would put our own ramps and plywood on the otherside of it to keep skating off the dip to the parking lot, the owner loved it and now that place has been done over and the dip is gone but all the skaters go to Skaters Edge now (a place in my city)

It reminds me of when I got bored at THPS and wanted to create a park an abandoned just after the first quarter pipe.
