Hollenbeck Skate Plaza - Los Angeles, California | Skatepark Tour
Hollenbeck has been around for a while and was one of the first skate plazas built in the United States. Although there is a DIY quarterpipe in the corner, it was built without any transition at all to mimic real street skating.

The Marion Skatepark is located in Hogin Park, just outside of downtown Marion. The park is made up of a few metal ramps set on top of a cement slab that was once used for shuffleboard. It's not much but the ground is really smooth and you may still find some fun things to skate here.

      @stvnhill 12 днів тому

      Yes, I think you're right. That seems to be the intent here. While there's no such thing as a standard pool wall since they're all different, I think the builders went overboard with the steepness of these. Most of the users of this park will not be able to enjoy the pool because it's too steep to drop in on. It's kind of a shame because kids don't have any transition to learn on when skating this park.

      Definitely some interesting dimensions on this one. This mimics a backyard pool more so than any park I think I've ever done a video of. I'm starting to see a lot more parks build bowls that have mellower transitions to make them more accessible for less experienced skaters.

      I've been there and I still get "misfires" from time to time. My experience has been that it comes down to the last second turn you have to do smack both trucks onto the curb at nearly the same time. To make that step easier, I'd play around with loosening your trucks for a more flexible turn and experimenting with different approach angles (i.e. coming in at a sharper angle that's closer to 90 degrees.)

    I have sensitive feet and you talk about other shoes with better midsole. Do you have any suggestions on shoes with good midsoles?

    • @stvnhill
      @stvnhill Місяць тому

      A lot of shoes only have a foam midsole in half of the shoe, meaning that it starts around the arch of your foot and goes back to the heel. This is great for preventing heel bruises, but the ball of your foot and toes have no padding at all (aside from the insole.) Thus you need a shoe that has a toe-to-heel foam midsole. New Balance currently makes 4 that have this, the Tiago 808, the Tiago 1010, the Tom Knox 600 and the 480 (both high and lows). As for Vans, your options are either the Rowan 2 or the new AVE 2.0. Emerica has a few models with the G6 foam in it, but I'm less familiar with those.

    Me and a few friends drove 7 hours from Toronto Ontario area back in 2005 and 2006 for the opening of this skate plaza. We were 17 - 18 at the time. It was a literal dream. It was incredible. It looks like from this video a lot of the ledges have been repaired with a steel siding. Anyway, I kickflipped the 9. Crooked the 7 stair rail, 360 flipped the grass gap thing. 50 - 50 the double stair rail. It was a memory and a trip I will never ever forget. I turn 37 years old this year. I might need to make one last harahh back to this place before its too late.
