With Ryan's ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan, I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
I actually really want to do this in my town. Its inspirational how many people actually used them. I want to see that same thing happen where i live. I think i'm going to try this.
Sometimes a simple swing in a person's life can make an unhappy person feel like there's some light in the world. Maybe some uplifting of the human spirit can lead to someone making a breakthrough in their own lives to avoid a lay off or avoid losing their home.
keep up the good work. We need more like this. Yes some kid might fall off one. Yes some kid might get hurt. Yes some kid might..... well you get the rest. Kids take chances. part of growing up. Let the kids have fun.
00:52-00:55 I ride my bike over that bridge all the time. Great little community right there. Atwater Village... great breakfast burritos... Right off of Los Feliz boulevard by Riverside Drive behind the tennis courts, If anyone cares who's in the area
You can think of better ways to help people with $1k? Really? THEN DO IT!! I love this project. If you watch the video you can plainly see how this brings people together. Makes families closer. It also spreads a little happiness. Those swings might be the one silver lining in a crappy day that causes a person to break. You never know.
What a fun and sweet thing to do for our community. I'm not sure how it classifies as hipster art but even if it is, its a kindness to remind people to play in a world where fun usually requires a DVR.. I am so sad to see negtive comments, especially ones tha t express concern about who is at fault when someone breaks their neck...has our societ become so litigious and paranoid all people think of when they see a swing is "DANGER!!!" followed by "Who can I sue if I get an owwie?"
There are swings at MacArthur Park that would clearly support an adult's weight. Yet adults can only use them if they are accompanied by children. OF COURSE, I understand that allowing the homeless adults who live at 'McCrackhead Park' in the playground would make it thoroughly unpleasant. But as a woman grieving pregnancy loss, it just twists the knife. As I walked past the swings, I keenly remembered the physical thrill I would feel in my stomach as I swung back from a great height 30 years ago. If I was wearing my baby boy on my chest, we could enjoy the swing together. As a small infant, he would probably fall asleep. But as he got older and entered the "delight" phase, he would screech with unabashed joy at the fun and pleasure of the swing. I have no children to bring with me. Nor am I "with child," so the fun of swinging will have to remain a distant memory for me. Just like the very brief life of my embryo.
Some cool ideas here, I especially liked the swing they installed under the wharf. Unfortunately, the end result of this concept will be some horrific litigation when multiple children get nasty splinters. It appears that they didn't bother to sand the wood planks, there are sharp corners evident in the video. Hopefully I am mistaken about this.
Wow people. Their doing something fun and that other people would enjoy. I cant believe this world has come to putting someone down for doing a good deed.
i love swings....this seems like a really nice project. it's a shame that if someone did something like this in my area, within about 5 hours, all the swings would be vandalised/stolen.
@NYBuildings I don't exactly know what it is that you do, i'm an architect, and yes, maybe a shelter would be better, but it doesn't mean it is more important. Part of helping society is actually making them happy, now, you may not find a good use for a swing but most kids will, being happy aviods deseases and stress, wich actually leads to a better society, a shelter is just a temporary "patch", changing the mood of a city is an actual solution

this video deserves more than a like, its one of those videos that are charitable and compassionate, unlike a lot of other videos on youtube.
just saw 3 of these swings in Griffith park today. gave me much joy! so many people using them.
Great idea! Swings are such fun. Love the ones over the river. Nice shot of the girl with the plane taking off, too!
Damn, those long-lined ones look frikkin' awesome! Wish I lived in LA...
The world needs more swings.
This made me so happy I was tearing up. :) Thank you.
This is... poetry, I had a smile through the whole video
Ohmygosh. What an amazing idea and video!!! I especially love the big ones off the bridges. Extremely awesome.
World needed those people.
I love swings before, love em now. I believe I can flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Isn't it amazing how something so simple as a swing can instill so much joy in so many people?
youre never to old for swings
Once I saw the guy try out the swing I couldn't help but think of being a kid on a swing, and smile.
The name says it all, this is an awesome project, nicely done.
I love the song, "Perpetuum Mobile"! I reminds me of the movie "Mary & Max". :~)
I cried. :-) Thanks.
That made me warm inside..
I'd love to be on that seaside swing so much.
Who in their right mind would EVER dislike Swings?!?
that just put a smile on my face
this is fantastic and should go on vimeo
this video reminds me how the power of our childhood can really influence our world today. Great project guys!
Truly inspiring!
I actually really want to do this in my town. Its inspirational how many people actually used them. I want to see that same thing happen where i live. I think i'm going to try this.
time-lapse videos set to perpetuum mobile are always awesome.
this is a beautiful idea! awesome job guys
This is so awesomeĄ
someone recently did this in my area. it was at the upper bluffs in toronto, canada. the other morning, i spent about an hour swinging on it.
Use this song and occasional still images to make anything you're doing seem like a heartfelt adventure.
I'm not going to lie, that swing underneath the boardwalk looks pretty awesome.
Awesome! I hope you guys can keep doing this forever!
It is really touching to see people actually enjoying the swings. The music is beautiful too, is it Penguin Cafe Orchestra?
2:00 Looks fun.. really long and relaxing swing. ^__^
they should do this everywhere!
This is awesome. It's really awesome.
Amazing!

@TheNynjspider
The bridge one looked awesome. It had a super high swing range and could be swung on above water.
This video was really good.
beautiful
THIS IS EPIC!
Brilliant.
Swinging was the best part of recess!!
keep up the good work. We need more like this. Yes some kid might fall off one. Yes some kid might get hurt. Yes some kid might..... well you get the rest.
Kids take chances. part of growing up. Let the kids have fun.
my faith in humanity is slowly becoming restored.
Yeah, I know those places! Gonna make sure to check under the pier for that swing
very awesome.
I want! Come to NYC! :D
Lord bless you all.
Awesome video
the beach one was sickk
00:52-00:55 I ride my bike over that bridge all the time. Great little community right there. Atwater Village... great breakfast burritos... Right off of Los Feliz boulevard by Riverside Drive behind the tennis courts, If anyone cares who's in the area
The swing under the docks was pretty fucking cool.
this makes me happy ! Swing on :)
come to my town and do this i would love u forever
If you like swinging, then you should visit Estonia. Their swings are huge :)
@Ekolius I was wondering for a minute... hey I know this song, but from where?! Then I remembered, Mary & Max! What a great movie.
AMAZING
the world is strange. i just watched mary and max for the first time about an hour ago and then this music is from the theme song..
You can think of better ways to help people with $1k? Really? THEN DO IT!!
I love this project. If you watch the video you can plainly see how this brings people together. Makes families closer. It also spreads a little happiness. Those swings might be the one silver lining in a crappy day that causes a person to break. You never know.
that's awesome!
Did I see one of these on Craigslist?
There should be more swings in every town.
BRILLIANT
What a fun and sweet thing to do for our community.

so thats why the song sounds like avicii- penguins, this song is by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
That is awsome!
Simple act, so much happiness. Ku -effin- dos.
thanks. just thanks.
Very cool.
awsome!
@TheHounds35 Is it bad that the same though crossed my mind? (When one breaks someone is getting sued)
the one at 2:44 would probably be my favorite :D
This is awesome. I love swinging. I want to swing over water.
this music track is from the movie mary and max
did you guys do the one in runyon canyon?
@bobbawon that may be an unrelated rash, however that heavy warm feeling has subsided :)
I wonder is the one in Santa Monica beach is still there...
@nemzz9st then tell me, which city do you think it's better to live?
that one under the pier is sooooo sick i want to go on that one like now
PLEASE DO THIS IN NYC
@SuperTimmac - what are YOU doing to fix all those problems?
Some cool ideas here, I especially liked the swing they installed under the wharf. Unfortunately, the end result of this concept will be some horrific litigation when multiple children get nasty splinters. It appears that they didn't bother to sand the wood planks, there are sharp corners evident in the video. Hopefully I am mistaken about this.
@mikesbaker
This does make a difference. Far more than $1000. worth of help for one person. This makes the city of LA a better place to live.
what pier is that swing on? i really wanna go swing on it :)
anyone know what that song is called? i love it
Wow people. Their doing something fun and that other people would enjoy. I cant believe this world has come to putting someone down for doing a good deed.
i love swings....this seems like a really nice project.
it's a shame that if someone did something like this in my area, within about 5 hours, all the swings would be vandalised/stolen.
@NYBuildings Do you live in LA?
Swings make people happy :3
This was cool. :]
There should be more swings in the world
Great... Now I have to look through comments TWO times to find the original comments
this is a good thing
who else instantly thought of mary and max when the music started?
Can u do this in Pittsburgh?
@NYBuildings I don't exactly know what it is that you do, i'm an architect, and yes, maybe a shelter would be better, but it doesn't mean it is more important.

swings=happiness:)
