The Skatepark No One Could Skate 

Peedroooo!! So, Channel Street was illegally built by an amazing community of local skaters (and punk rockers) and was eventually shut down by the city (possibly because of liability issues?) After several years of the community working to make it safer with upgrades funded by themselves, donations and a series of great punk rock fundraising shows along with the focused effort of city councilman and San Pedro native Joe Buscisno the park finally opened officially legal just this year. The amount of work and the quality of work behind this community created DIY skate park is beyond incredible. Big love and huge shout out to everyone who helped make this dream happen. San Pedro baby!

Ive become addicted to watching your videos, i love the rawness of it from the skating to.the conversation. Its made me get back on my board again!

It's amazing how determined skaters can be, just look at the stuff we build for ourselves

"I was going slow... gotta go fast!" Great Matthew quote

Have an awesome weekend Dan, take care!

Just saw the Powell Peralta video! Congrats Dan! Well earned Sir!!!

I live 15 minutes from fdr I go all the time they recently tore down the big like 12 foot halfpipe because of a fire. Now they got donations and built two cement halfpipes with a spine and it is BUTTER! and they resurfaced the whole park with extra cement and are still adding more i love the progress you gotta skate there sometime would love to see a video there no one really goes on youtube. Keep up thr great vids man love ya

When AJ really nailed the 5-0 around the bend and just started getting funky I just busted out laughing. That dude fucking rocks

Wow. This place looks insane. Thanks for showing me the best skate video of the year so far! For real. This is some of the best skating. I want to do a west coast skatepark tour and this would absolutely be on it.

lol the background on his phone and how proud he was to have it is one of the saddest things ive seen in a long time

hey Dan, your videos are awesome. great commentary while the skating is going down. your videos make me fill like I'm there with you guys.

wow that 5-0 around that kink was so sick.

Matthew and AJ absolutely killed it 😱 Shredded it into pieces 🔥

Love the way you spread the love Dan.

I miss Phil I love when these two skate together. Its like they push each other.

Just have a feeling this video is gonna be super awesome! Much love from Denmark to your content Dan!

Really like watching these guys skate. One has sick lip tricks and the other absolutely airs it out.

Appreciate all the great content, Dan. Good job!

Damn that DIY is actually insane. Better than my little dinky 90's skatepark fom when I was a kid that's for sure!

love your vids. So raw and natural

you keep me going with these uploads. your videos are a national treasure for countless generations to enjoy. love

Aj really is super steezy on his board!!

Geeze.. A.J showed out.. I was pulling for Matt so hard on that gap near the beginning and he actually made it.. it was a good video.. I am grateful to get to see this sorta thing.. I’m just trying to leave a comment.. I could say a whole lot more bout today’s episode.. any day..but I’m just leaving a comment..

This might be one of my favorite parks to watch Matthew & AJ skate, they were doing some gnarly lines

Much love for the channel.

Best channel on the interwebs. Thanks Dan.

your commentary made be laugh so hard during multiple parts of this. you’re a straight comedic gold treasure dog

AJ grinding around that curve was SO sick

Love your ADD when dude is talking to you and you’re like ‘Ooo skateboard!’

That doorway angle is badass! Some nice canvas for murals on that pillar. (edit) Also love the input Deville had on the history of that place.

New phone footage looking extra crispy. Mathew and AJ being absolute animals as always, you love to see it!

That decked out rock n roll!

I used to live there we brings back memories seeing that skatepark I was never able to go to it but I'll always pass by it when I was little

more Mason please more Mason! been my favorite skater for 10 years an we dont see enough of him much anymore! could watch that guy skate all day, style is so good.

What's up Dan?! this was a dope spot. Maryland represent!!

appreciate the upload🤙 sick park sick skaters

Awesome to see some high quality transition skateboarding and from what Powell Peralta was built on.

I just discovered your videos and they are very entertaining to watch. Matthew freekin shreds

AJ's aggressive, controlled style reminds me of Salba. So sick!

Matt always gets mad air he’s another I could watch all day

Wow bro crispy everything....

Dan had me geeked when he said “the only reason I don’t go that high is because it’s hard, and scary and I can’t do it”😂😂😂

That 5-0 around the outside of the bowl and level out to find a good landing trick to executing the right speed of a better timing to clear the gap between the other sides of the quarterpipe!

Haven't seen this section at Burnside before nice!

i love when the camera fucks up and it locks into x3 on matthew, really adds some bill strobeck effect.

6:05 I've been waiting to see that trick for ages, so cool

That place is definitely a work of art 100%

Aj Nelson footage always hypes me up!

AJ at 9:44 was so satisfying! Great video Dan!

Dang. These guys are insane!! Like wow 😮

best skate channel on YT

"When I get lost, I also air out of the skatepark to flat" 😂😂

Dan flexing his phone subtly

6:06 I'm definitely going to try that fakie bs tailslide in my local mini bowl.

Dude that look's super sick

Have you ever skated “foundation” skate park here in Asheville nc? It’s a funky diy spot I bet you would like. VERY funky haha

Matt and A.J. Are both gnarly

Videos and parts are cool when companies release them . But seeing the bros just rip having fun, is so entertaining on all levels

I respect your hustle. The title made me curious. If you'd have just said you were at channel street I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't give a shit. I saw a picture of concrete jersey barriers on the flat bottom of the blue section, like damn they care that much about people skating? Anyone gnarly enough to skate a place like that should be allowed to just on principle.

This is exactly why I made the "YES SKATEBOARDING" shirt. We skate where we want!

Matthew probably kills it in snowboarding.. Dude is a beast.

Great commentary

I'm here for the Starfox references 😄

That park looks so cool

lol "yeah when I get lost, I also air out of the skatepark to flat" hahah I was like, where is he going?!

Matt is insane, gotta go fast!

That fakie 5-0/tailside thing AJ did was wild, I’ve never seen anyone do that before!!!

That angle from under the arch... you should make a print of Matt skying that. It was gorgeous.

Good footage again, sick to see good skaters actually just skating rather than endless hipster and superstar skater bs

does this phone have the thing that go pro does with motion smoothing or something? really cool

keep on posting !

Was that a backside crailslide by AJ? That whole line was beautiful.

Daewon Song have there a Video Part - you would love it see what he is doing there! Nice Video - Love this Chanel

i used to live down the street on harbor in downtown san pedro. used to always bike past it wondering why they just shut the place down

This the same skate park Daewon Song skated for I forgot what part. Think it was his “Real Street” part or somethin but was a few years back.

I’m gonna go to channel st next week and skate that shit like a quarter pipe.

You look so familiar dude. Did you used to skate at shrimptown, in Maryland?

So when is Matthew getting his own board? Love watching that kid skate!

Matthew is such a nut. So fun to watch, but so unrelatable seeing him blast airs into outer space.

The level of skating in this video is insane!

congrats pie face🤙🏽

Dan " I got the new I phone the zoom is so smooth" also Dan " Its stuck in times 3" lmao

Is this where Daewon's Berrics transition part was done? channel street or something? Either way, check that out, awesome stuff. Awesome vid Dan, that gap wowo :O

I looked up "airtime" in the dictionary, and found a picture of Matthew. He's fun to watch.

This is some Tony Hawk Underground shit 🔥🔥

"The only reason I don't go that high is because it's hard and scary and I can't do it.". Yeah, that's me watching every trick on every one of your videos.

Dan you’re my favorite channel

great vid! Are you still getting those other two guys to do the casper slide on a rail or not since Zac did it?

Dam I guess you updated your phone !? N it’s fkn sick 🤙🏻👍🏻🤟🏻

@Zach Dowdy did a video on this spot a little while ago I believe that goes into the history of the spot and the group fundraising/building it.

Matthew is a freaking wizard who found the counter curse to gravity

I definitely saw Andy skate this park

WOW, you should have seen it before the overhead freeway construction began? 😮

Matt in to mx? all legs, crazy to watch. he absorbs like coming down on a yz.

intro is beautiful wtf

I need a Mathew pro model. Dude is the best

Matthew “you gotta go fast” Wilcox

Matthew and AJ make me wish I was a vert skater lol

Long coping grinds are sickkk as the small ones

I heard they are trying to make that park an official city park for skateboarding. they definitely arent going to tear it down and destroy it from what I heard. It's also Daewons fav park, he used to skate there before it was even close to what it is now also he said that park is hard to skate has a big learning curve!Said it has a crazy layout and dimensions but not in a bad way. Just you could get hurt easy there it doesnt skate like other places. I never skated to there but I bet it is awesome! exp being under a bridge I always thought parks were cool that are under bridges 👍🏻. like that bowl looks like it almost doesnt even have a flat... well not much of one anyways. especially in the middle. imagine being in a car and looking over and just seeing someone doing a hand plant like that on basically a wall where he was doing it! they prob like damn that's nuts!
