Thanks for visiting Philomath, David. We hope to have you back at the groundbreaking of our new Grindline skatepark in a couple years. Just finished the prelim design and we're preparing to submit a funding grant to the state next year. We might use your video of our park to help make the case for a new park. Thanks! See you in a couple years.
What a legend! Props for showing up. Seriously though, on a positive note, the best thing about this park is that it can be used as the start point for the C2C trail.
I somehow missed it on my first watch. Read so many comments about it that I had to go back and check it out. Indeed super sick. Don’t understand how he even came up with the idea to do that!
My best friend and I went to city council meetings to get this park, even presented a cool design. The contractor ended up using their 10 year old's design instead. This is literally a park designed by a clueless 10 year old, not the older experienced skaters that actually helped get the park approved. Silver lining is they built the Corvallis park soon after across street from my house. Dad is the closest house to the Corvallis park so the philomath park fiasco was easier to forget. Still a crying shame.
Every time I see these I'm reminded Gravette is no doubt one of the most skilled and creative dudes on a board, Its actually unbelievable how good he is lol
The pacific northwest tends to produce that feeling, especially during winter months. If you stop by the redwoods this time of year it feels like your in fucking Narnia
Grew up skating with David in Issaquah. Lost contact with him around 09 I think. Cool to see him still doing his thing. I remember he rolled up to a 17 stair rail and over crooked it second try. Blew my mind. He’s nuts. He also fs lipped a 15 rail with skate stoppers on it. Keep killing it, David! I miss pumping around the OG Issaquah park with you and Peyton!
I've always had a problem with skaters bitching about bad skateparks. Treat it as you would a street spot and be creative. Bad park Dave shows how to do that. Probably my favorite youtube series. Keep em coming!
I have the opposite problem. I have an issue with pedestrians bitching about skaters skating street spots and telling them to go skate in a skatepark. Meanwhile the skateparks are on the edges of the city and look like this.
The only issue I have with them is that they're only fun and creative if you're already a good enough skater to not need a park. Skateparks should be the safer place to learn in a structured environment before hitting the streets, imo
Yeah bro you’re missing the point. Sure this place offers fun challenges but skateparks are supposed to be perfect obstacles for you to get good on so you can then take it to the streets. Also if you were some 12 year old trying to learn how to skate how on earth would this park help you?
This is no joke... These worst skateparks of the pacific northwest resonate with me SO MUCH. Im from Oregon also, and grew up skating. These videos give me so much life for some reason. Maybe its you making the best of a pretty bleak situation, but these videos lift me up in ways few others can. Sounds cheesy but they mean so much. Hope you keep the series going, and I hope to see more soon. I also love it that theyre always in the rain or wet. Classic PNW. Can I give a request? More in Western washington please! I live on a boat in NW washington. Id love to see what other shitty parks are around here! Lol! Camas washington is my favorite episode so far. Thanks for making these bronson speed co!
I grew up in Philomath and this skatepark was one of the best things to come into town at that time. This is good work David, thanks for doing this it made me laugh in commiseration 😂
Thanks for putting this on the map. The city of Philomath now has moneys set aside to redo this park. It's going to be an awesome one, I'm excited for the kids!
I don't even skate anymore cause my knee will explode but I live for these Gravette vids of horrible skateparks and just watching him rip it up so casually.
I literally hit rewind on almost every trick cause my eyes just didn’t comprehend what I saw!! David is something else and one of my favorite skaters to watch! Between David and William Spencer!
This dude have the perfect name for being on Creature. His name literally have "Grave" in it. He was my favourite on King of the Road, too. Always up for it. True Veteran.
David is seriously one of the biggest talents ever in skating history, i wasnt expecting this level of thrashing on that concrete house they put in the middle of the skatepark 😳😱 not to mention how wet everything is, this is injury scary territory right there
I can't believe I was just laughing at Gravette for falling on his ass try'n to focus his board! LOL!! He's so rad! And that miniramp is just like mine in my shed. Except I love my granite coping more!
I judge the fuck out of people who follow influencers and UA-camrs and all that shit, but if I'm really honest with myself I could fully watch content of Gravette just doing his thing on the daily.
More than anything, these videos just show how good Gravette is.
I came here to write the same thing. His ability to carry out what he imagines is impressive.
He's one of my favorites, he makes skating look fun when he's not having a meltdown
No kidding. He kickflipped into that bank right of the rip like he was landing on flat.
good way to put it. @@mattstanbridge
That shifty frontside wheel slide down the "pyramid" bank was crazy. Shows how damn great he really is. Very adaptive and versatile.

I wish this comment had more visibility! Thanks for investing in things that make communities better ❤
my city would never!
omg the city reacted
We need a budget ass contest series at parks like this, see skaters adapted to it.
Street league is no longer impressive, I need to see Yuto string together a 9 here
Great idea!!
😅 fax tho
How dope would that be
This is a great idea.
he actually crushed. That skatepark has been waiting a long time for this day
Well said, brother👌
That little power slide drop in was so sick
So stylish
Re-watched it like 5 times. Soooo slick
I somehow missed it on my first watch. Read so many comments about it that I had to go back and check it out. Indeed super sick. Don’t understand how he even came up with the idea to do that!
Literally came here just to say that
Exactly what I said out loud. So rad
between the banter and the shredding this is probably one of the most entertaining skate series ive ever seen. gravette's the man
No doubt

Still a crying shame.
Dam
I don't blame you for sour feelings, even after 3 decades.
Corvallis park is pretty sweet.. a lot of people living down there though lately
Hey that 10 year old kid put almost a hour of his time into designing this park. Put some respect on his name.
More like 10 min of his time@@howiwatchvideos
Depressing, hilarious, and amazing all at the same time
I like how he gauged his speed in knots. We need more nautical jargon in skateboarding.
The rail was roughly a fathom long
petition to change frontside and backside to port and starboard
I did a starboard sternslide down that two fathom long railing.@@treyhayes101
Let's not forget a bow and stern slides/stalls
Came here mention I loved the nautical touch
Every time I see these I'm reminded Gravette is no doubt one of the most skilled and creative dudes on a board, Its actually unbelievable how good he is lol
My favourite series on youtube, gives me a comfortable nostalgic feeling that i cant quite explain
you just did
Agreed
The pacific northwest tends to produce that feeling, especially during winter months. If you stop by the redwoods this time of year it feels like your in fucking Narnia
@@joejoe2658smart ass joejoe 😂
there’s no obnoxious music or some fake personality being put on. Just pure vibes and skating
His ability to carry out what he imagines is impressive.
I feel a little guilty that I derive such joy from watchin Gravette lose his shit over a trick. It's only bc I can empathize. Thanks for the vid!
It reminded me of the kinked rail video LMAO
I work with a guy just like this. Awesome, nice guy with these insane, over-the-top freak outs and it’s hilarious.
Please do more of these. I’ll buy a pack of bearings for every episode
there is nothing this man can't skate. truly a wizard and genuinely funny as hell
Hijacking to say look up the old issaquah skatepark he grew up at and you’ll know why lol
Gravette is a legend. Love seeing these crusty old pieces of Northwest skate history. Thanks Bronson! 🤘🔥
I absolutely love these episodes with Dave. Just raw, fun, and funny.
bad skateparks are good street spots in disguise. and vice versa
This is literally my favorite skateboard series of all time. I hope they keep coming 😂
Ah, I've missed this. Gravette is a true hero, suffering for our amusement.

This series is why I will always ride Bronson
As soon as I get my skate warehouse settlement check...
To all the sponsors - please never stop supporting this man. He’s a treasure to skateboarding.
Cant get enough of these
This man has been one of my favs since his “And Now” part! V stoked to see this
that sip and gulp was a crazy way to start this video
Like a wizard David is putting some magic onto those unique obstacles. Just awesome. :D
That power slide at 2:17? I would die immediately 🤣
This kind of videos are too good, we need more.
Absolutely love David Gravette!! just an absolute treat of a human and a skater!!! 👌 so glad I grew up watching you and get to watch you now!

“It’s probably so water logged.” That was great, lol.
What a great Promo for Creature Skateboards Tremendous strength at the end lol. that Unbreakable chinese wood lol
😂

Gotta check out Hobart Indiana's "skatepark." Shits a mini metal death trap on the corner of two extremely busy roads with no guard rails lol🤦♂️
I’m not even a skater but I love this series. And watching skaters in general. So much talent
This one actually looks pretty fun especially since no one prob goes there 😂
Until you take a fall on that cheese grater concrete
I grew up in Philomath and this skatepark was one of the best things to come into town at that time. This is good work David, thanks for doing this it made me laugh in commiseration 😂
Favourite skater, top man
Hahahaha "What did you do to me? This is my body!"
The greatest thing ever said following those glorious stomps. 😂
"IM FUCKING GIVING IT EVERYTHING!"
Dave is a piece of work-love the guy!
Thanks for putting this on the map. The city of Philomath now has moneys set aside to redo this park. It's going to be an awesome one, I'm excited for the kids!
I am glad that this man exists.
This is amazing. You actually made it to Philomath skatepark lol born and raised in Corvallis, Oregon. Always hoped you checked this absurd place out.
🙏
@@shawnfromportland hope you are doing great Shawn!
Love the series and always blown away how much more Gravette can do that your average pro, dude is legit so good
i see david, i click
the BEST skate series, the only series I have youtube notifications on for
Now they won’t fix it…. Look how much stuff you can do.
Designer/ engineer: I told you I knew what I was doing!
Love this series thanks for providing
This is by far the greatest series on UA-cam.
Gravette is love, Gravette is life.
The nose manual on that weird corner bank and the revert down the the death pyramid were outrageous
I don't even skate anymore cause my knee will explode but I live for these Gravette vids of horrible skateparks and just watching him rip it up so casually.
Can’t get enough of gravette. Give me more!!!!
This series is the best skating series on UA-cam currently
this is where I grew up, I am honored to have the park featured.
Just when I thought this couldn't be funnier, the board breaking attempts at the end took it over the top.
I have been going to that skate park for 20 plus years and never seen anyone skate it like that! So cool and fun to watch!
Need more videos like this!! BTW that Creature hoodie is fire 🔥
I love that this series is still going ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
2:21 was not expecting that…..
I literally hit rewind on almost every trick cause my eyes just didn’t comprehend what I saw!! David is something else and one of my favorite skaters to watch! Between David and William Spencer!
“What’s so hard about that?” -the GOAT. 5:13
Watching you skate this forgotten park is sweet
Gravette deserve SOTY for this series 🏆
Dude that ending was awesome. Thanks, Bronson and family.
The worst skatepark is no skatepark. This one is decent if you bring a broom. 😂
Coolest highlight of the vid for me was giving lil man the high five that kid doesn’t know just how cool of a dude he met that day
I don't know why these videos are so enjoyable...
twisted tea line had me dying! great series
My favorite series on UA-cam
This dude have the perfect name for being on Creature. His name literally have "Grave" in it.
He was my favourite on King of the Road, too. Always up for it. True Veteran.
That pyramid's so brutal, might as well call it Moctezuma's Revenge.
I really wish he didn’t bail on that “Irish jig” to board snap! 🤣🤣🤣
Comedy genius and skater Extrodinaire, sign me up !!
I treasure these, dude’s a gem
Being a true local. These tricks were inspiring. That 50-50 on the half pipe railing was sweetness
“Your just coming at the flat bar going 12 knots and you just zipped out like a friggin I don’t know dude!” 😂
Hahaha “he was comin at the flat bar going 12 knots….” Lol 12 knots!!!!!
We need more of these videos with David.
Best person for the best series, just natural fun videos.
You made the most of that place man. You're pretty impressive. Hats off
This is skateboarding. Seriously this series is amazing thanks everyone involved
I'm a City Councilor here in Philomath, and we just unanimously approved the plan for a new skatepark on Monday!
David is the man! Thanks for the content.
Best series on UA-cam, hands down. I'm buying a Gravette jersey.
god i love gravette and this series soooo much
Dude the power slide down, bs flip, 360 bs flip line was borderline part worthy it was so impressive 😂
David is seriously one of the biggest talents ever in skating history, i wasnt expecting this level of thrashing on that concrete house they put in the middle of the skatepark 😳😱 not to mention how wet everything is, this is injury scary territory right there
I can't believe I was just laughing at Gravette for falling on his ass try'n to focus his board! LOL!! He's so rad! And that miniramp is just like mine in my shed. Except I love my granite coping more!
Dave skates a dilapidated old relic and Shreds it. One of the most down to earth skaters. We need more personalities like Mr. . Gravette. Sweet share
That board was destined to remain at that park
Unbreakable
I judge the fuck out of people who follow influencers and UA-camrs and all that shit, but if I'm really honest with myself I could fully watch content of Gravette just doing his thing on the daily.
return of one of the best series on yt
This man is doing the lords work 🙌
5:08 the sound on that rail is unreal
Best skate series on UA-cam imo
One of the best UA-cam series without a doubt
The jig dance pre focusing the board was hilarious.
Greatest series, love it. Long may they continue
haha that was way more enjoyable than I expected! Thanks!
