10 People Who Ruin Skateparks!

i don’t skate why am I watching this

The kids running around one is frustrating, especially when so many skateparks are surrounded by actual parks with slides and playgrounds

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.

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

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.

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.

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

as one of the kids that would run around my nearest skatepark without a skateboard, i am very sorry for what ive done

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

someone in my city decided that it would be an absolutely great idea to build a skatepark right across the street from an elementary school. I'm sure you can figure out the rest of the story...

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

my list that's a very abbreviated version of yours: 1. Children on scooters/pushbikes 2. Karens/Kevins 3. people that get in the way 4. parents who think they have priority 5. people who think the skate park is a cool place to hang out and smoke 6. vandalisers 7. Zach (i know you're out there somewhere you silly little boy) 8. people who think they own the skate park and have priority

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

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.

It’s annoying how so many parents think that they have so much more authority because they have little kids

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

“Idc what you ride” Roasts all types of riders except skateboarders

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.

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.

The rivalry between scooterers and skateboarders is what caused me to drop both and start aggressive inline skating

Venice Beach has separate areas (across from each other) for roller skaters and skateboarders, would be amazing to see this more widespread.

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 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.

Skatepark story: I went to a skatepark right after I purchased my very first skateboard. Doesn't get any more exiting than that.

Just bought my first skateboard its gonna arrive in 1-2 days cant wait!

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 :/

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"

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

'Scooters are annoying, Rollerblades are annoying, BMX'ers are annoying' - skateboarders

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for saying not all scooters are annoying. I am a scooter rider and I am about 11 yoears old and still trying to do a tailwip or bar spins and my local state park is pretty small compared to like Venice or things like that, i do snake a bit accidentally and people get pretty mad at me for a small thing. But just overall thank you for the awesome content

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

Skate story : in the first 6 days of having my board , I went to a skate park and fell over onto a glass bottle and cut my arm over, got 6 stitches 😬

one thing that my friend hated at the skate park were kids with scooters for 3yrs old making him falling by touching the board

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

I just started aggressive inline, and i gotta say, trying to learn with skateboarders yelling insults at you all the time gets old fast. that being said, although common, theres a decent percentage of skateboarders (usually older) that are excited to see rollers again after so long. its really only the posers that cant handle a little wax that complain ;)

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!

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!

Thank you so much for this video I'm kind of getting into skateboarding so I want to know where I can skate at also I've always wanted to put an RC car in a skatepark so I'm going to do it after hours so there's no skaters to hit

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!

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.

at 9:48 the sign for the closed park is actually from where I grew up (Arlington, TX) it has since been opened back up

1:10 that’s my local it’s Oakdale skatepark it’s amazing. It’s so cool to see it in your video

Skate story: I was at the skate park and this kid snaked me and I got mad at him so he started to try and eat my skate board know there is bite marks in my new deck

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.

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

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.

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 😱

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

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

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

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

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.

My mom is pretty good when it comes to skateparks, im new to skateboarding but my brother has been skateboarding for a long time and I remember that sometimes when he wanted to go to a skatepark she would drive him there and just wait in the car for him to come back, i'm glad that my mom has been so accepting and excited that I am picking up this skill.

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)

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.

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

HEY DUDE WANNA ASK HOW U MAKE UR VIDS/WITH WHAT PROGRAM?

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 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

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'm 12 and was doing parkour at my local skate park a couple days ago because there was no one there, but when actual skaters came I went somewhere else to get out of their way. Do you think thats ok.

HEYDUDE I WANNA ASK HOW DO YOU MAKE UR VIDS?

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

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.

96 degrees is the average summer day in az where I live and it's not that bad

My skatepark story that's annoying is my skatepark was amazing bit now it's decent because there only 4 small ramps and there's so many children there and there's no bowl they removed it!

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.

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.

as a "scooter kid" who is 14 i see this as an absolute loss and win at the same time.

Another skatepark story: I'm a photogrpahy A-level student who chose.to do skate-photography for my recent project. I've been into skating in general too but was always too 'shy' to nervous to go to he skatepark or talk to anyone there. This time I had to, and while asking for consent to ake photographs of skaters [who were by the way really chill about it, and even done tricks just for the camera], I came across too bmx riders, they were SO chill. And even nice about it. I remember his bike fell and he gave me extra time just tog er a good close up shot. At the end I got his email to email him the results because he did wanna see em :D Him and his friend also posed for a photogrpah at the end before acting which helped ALOT with my grade because although I picked skate-photography, the main them was street photogrpahy but we had to include potriture too! So thanks to those two :) and the other skaters too :)

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)

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’m just a kid, 10 yr old here I have a skatepark near my house and there’s a rules that kids should wear protection if they’re gonna play with their skateboard/ scooters but if they’re just gonna play I always say GET OUT OF THE WAY, and I yell to the kids parents GET UR KID OUT OF THE WAY U DORK R U STUPID OR SMTHING that the mayor put a new rule that no kid with intentions of playing in here without a skateboard/scooter/bike/etc are allowed on the skate park

as someone who uses RC cars at skateparks, i get that its annoying and it can get someone hurt if theyre used during popular times. my friend who uses rc's too used to use them when parks were busy, but i told him about what can happen when theyre used during busy hours. its fun to use them on skateparks because of the ramps, etc but it's important to use them during times when its quiet :)

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.

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

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

Most pay to roll skateboard parks do have a old geezer night, no kids allowed. That's when I go. Lol. No wax is allowed at any time in the park! Come to Kona in Jacksonville, Fl. Wednesday after 5pm is old dude night, 30 years old and up only. And when school is in session, best time to skate too, lol.

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.

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

The same thing happened to me about a year ago. One of the bowls were shut down because they were filming.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This happened TODAY at my local skatepark. These scooter kids (like myself) were pushing this shopping cart down the 8 foot ramp and drooping it into the skatepark and nearly hit my autistic little brother

Skatepark story: this is near when im 12 almost turning 13, I rode scooter at the time and I liked going in large bowls and pumptracks, there was a mom and her toddler sitting on an obstacle, the mother is holding her toddler away and tries her best to not make her toddler run amuck in the track, I like going up and down the tracks and still do and at the time i was a quarter to halfway done with the track. Then I do it again and the mother unawarely releases her toddler to run around the pumptrack thinking im outside of the track when i was doing a 180 going back into the track again keep in mind i didnt have any stops that would make the mother let her toddler run around, toddler runs right into the pumptrack right where speed starts to ramp up, toddler runs into me head first and toddler gets hit so far its almost flys out of the small bowl, parent gets mad, cradles child, blames me for not paying attention, I tell the unresponsible mother to be more responsible and not let a 20 pound 4 year old run into whats like a racetrack of jumping and high speeds, proceeds to call police for battery on a child and i talk to the cops and talk my way out of this and the mother looks at me infuriated, And the mother was given a ticket of 800$ for false calling

10:59 man that hurts my soul. As a skateboarder, seeing that guy break a skateboard relentlessly made me mad.

Yo...I must have missed the Braille video where Aaron got busted lol 8:18
