I sketched my dream skatepark for my small town of 3,000. Close to 3 years later (city council meetings, finding local construction teams) it was done. The delays helped me develop the design over 2 years! It cost less than this park and is about 200 feet long! but everything was done local (and the concrete is holding perfectly after 2 years 😁)
No one asked

Hey I’m trying to get a skatepark for my town I’ve been going to city council meetings and I’ve been talking to local contractors I just need sum tips to do this I’ve got the mayor on my side but I just need sum sort of direction thank u
How about you drop the name of the park, so this doesn't completely sound like it came out of your azz?
Hey, John! Thanks for visiting the Commerce Tx skatepark! A bit shocked you didn't take a trip 15 minutes away to the interesting sulphur springs park! I called commerce home for a few years, went to the meetings when deciding what the park would be like, waited a year for it to get built, and was astonished after learning they went with a smaller design at the last second, but somehow the park still cost $150,000. To the people questioning the price tag, from what us locals learned, most of the money supposedly went to building the disk golf course, was supposed to help add a paved walking trail (more than whats shown, and evidently still hasnt been built), and was also supposed to be used to build dog park in the same area. The disk golf course was made but nothing else.. we've talked to parks n rec workers out there and they think the city pocketed the money. As for the cracks, yes it's concerning that the park is already seeing such cracks and craters in the pavement after having only been built and in operation for the last 3ish years, but regardless the locals and myself absolutely love the park for what it is. It's very fun, flows well, and is fantastic for our small group of regulars to sesh together on summer evenings. I appreciate you reading the comments on the facebook page and doing research. You can actually see my comments on the page comment section on your video showing pictures of what i came up with as an addition for the park that the locals and I tried proposing to the city and spohn ranch to add. I'm really glad to see a video showing off and promoting the skatepark, and very happy to see you shredding and enjoying it yourself. Thats definitely the best tricks EVER landed there to date 😂 I can see my wax job on the side of the quarter where I'd do kick turn tailslides lol. I think the best trick ive landed at that park has to be nose grinding the sloped ledge of the gap, into a nollie big spin off!
Ive actually heard candid conversations amongst local government basically bragging about how bad they rip off and steal from their community even bragging about ways to steal their houses. Its pretty sick. But thats how the democrats operate.
Kind of the same story as the skatepark in my hometown, took us skaters almost 10 years to get the city to build one for us. Great video John!
John I’ve been watching you for a while, even though I found your videos ok I didn’t think about you or your videos twice. Recently something has changed where I don’t miss a upload and your content and company is something I profoundly enjoy. Thanks for doing what you do.
Much love ✌🏼
love parks like this. nothing crazy, very simple, but very clean and well made
That's a cool park that any local should be happy to have.
The issue isn’t that they aren’t happy with it it’s that they fought so hard for a park and compared ti what’s they wanted to get (a park that will allow skaters to have everything they need) they got this wich is pretty much a slab of pavement with 4 spots enough for maybe 5-10 skaters max not an entire community of skaters
@@Atomiiku 🤣🤣🤣
Its concrete and that ramp to rail is sick
I can certainly say that that park did not cost $150,000
@@CaitofFate I was comparing it to a slab of pavement I didn’t say it was pavement and I never said the spots were bad that has nothing to do with the point of my comment
My city has been declining skateparks in the area for 25 years. So the community created their own park in an abandoned tennis court on the edge of the city with homemade ramps and rails. Around this time last year the city tore it down and banned us from skating there. The outrage finally caused the city to accept the skatepark proposal. It’s supposed to be done this fall!
Better late than never.
It is a comfy fun skatepark.
Every crack can be fixed, there are DIY channels even on insta.
Simply enjoyable.
I love the attempt counter! Really gives us a bettwr idea how tough some of the tricks you're doing are!
Love the addition of the attempt counter. Mine would be into the thousands for any of those tricks
I love the music you choose for your videos ♥️
if they paid $150k for that they definitely got ripped off like crazy
Money laundering.
I’m a projects estimator for a steel beam rolling company in DFW, Texas. I just acquired a client who builds skateparks and let me say there’s definitely plans to get a lot more accessible skateparks all over Texas.
I come for the skating and I stay for it - but the filming/editing is such a dope bonus ;) Go John!
So peaceful, awesome sound mixing the skating and chill tracks
Hell yeah bro that was sick man. Love your content keeping it up and shred the nar nar
Rocking the storror merch, hell yeah !
Hell yeah shout out to the disc golfers. Was a skateboarder as a kid, now disc golfer as an adult. Like disc golf just as much if not more. Highly recommend sport..
Do you ever take skatepark requests? It would be awesome to see what tricks and lines your mind would come up with at my local park in Texas. Sometimes you put things together I wouldn't see other people think of.
I love this video and appreciate how much time and effort u have put into it and especially with the thumbnail spending alot of time trying to get it right even if it didn't work out definitely subscribing keep it up ❤
Skatepark advocacy is hard work. Kudos to the skaters who got this park built. Bigger picture- you have to understand that many, many Texas communities spent well over $150k and ended up with prefabricated metal ramps laid out on an old tennis court. Those skateparks quickly fell apart and town leaders were hesitant to go down that route again. This Commerce park looks well done in concrete with flush bottom edges to the slab. If I were on the Tony Hawk Foundation grant committee, I'd have donated $5k for this in a heartbeat. Will last a long time and provides descent variety.
Awesome video man, love the storror t-shirt aswel!😉
Cool park. I’m digging your content bro, just subscribed.
Added bonus for that Storror shirt ❤ lol
Wish our skate park was like this growing up. Instead we had ramps and rails that were too high to learn on.
Great video, John!
Love to see the Storror shirt John!
How far you taking this skate park tour series? We have a bunch of pretty crazy skatepark in Oregon that also have interesting back stories in origin and location. Klamath Falls and Irrigon come to mind... there are many more tho
I'm liking the attempt counter too
be thankful ! here in kalookan city philippines has no skatepark
Thanks Tony. More street parks please
this park looks sickkkk
I usually never comment but I really enjoy the format of these Videos !
Freaking awesome seeing you rocking a Storror shirt ❤
John Hill has one of the most satisfying nose grinds I've ever seen.
I definitely feel the battle for the park on this one. My city has almost the same exact scenario where petitions and conversation started around 2013 to build a new park since our only tiny old one hasnt been touched since the 90s. The city wont listen at meetings and us dedicated skaters dont have enough money or signatures to create one ourselves so were stuck in limbo. Was nice to see a mostly happy ending in this video in a situation like this though!
You gotta come visit huntsville AL when the new team Payne skatepark is finished!
Appreciating the STORROR T-shirt I see you have on 👌🏻
Make a video on the skatepark in pflugerville texas, I went there once and it’s got a lot of unique obstacles
Where was everyone? A beautiful sunny day and not one other person 😂
how do you listen to music and film at the same time?
Theres a very good chance that the city required additional improvements to the property. The actual concrete work was probably only a fraction of the total project cost. There was certainly stormwater/drainage improvements required plus parking, landscaping, lighting and other amenities
love the video construction. little bitta skate little bitta history, little bitta skate, little bitta history.
Good work man. enjoyable 10 minutes
love the storror tee!
sick vid I will definitely be driving out there sometime have you seen roni’s mac bar in Waco it’s literally a restaurant for Mac and cheese and it looks dopeee
Would be cool to see you do a series where you learn to skate transition more
What’s your camera setup for these vlogs?
You should come to Omaha NE we got like 5 parks around the city , tryna get an indoor one of these days
I just love just getting home from a long school day and sit down take some cereal 🥣 and watch your videos and the vibe the chill jazz music 🎶 just hits different that’s why you are one off my favourite skaters ever😤😁
There is a park like that around where I live. Its a 40 minute drive but its usually empty. Its a place I can go skate with my young kids and not feel like if I'm not watching they're gonna fall down a 10 ft. ramp.
Love the t-shirt !
I feel like this is a perfect park to skate if you have it all to yourself with a group of friends.
I like johns music choices. He keeps it classy. I’m about his age and a bachelor and Lofi and jazz is so great.
Here in Berlin, i would LOVE to have this skatepark nearby! How do people (kids?) get to the park?
Great video John! That park looked awesome! You should do a video at the Des Moines IA park
That park is so fun to skate! Also, it is massive!
This was awesome and I would definitely like that for a park for a beginner
That park has most definitely never been shredded like that😂
Mr. Hill, I don't know about all that mellow, it looks like it's setup to be as intense as one makes it.
Bro, come out to Kerrville. It’s a drive from where you are but it’s a nice one. There’s a skate park out this way that was also a part of Tony Hawk’s foundation and there a competition happening there on June 10. Would be dope to have you there.
John hill has the model stance and skateboarding style of a pro video game sk8ter. Its what i call steezy ninja
These days i would always recommend going through a skater owned skatepark construction company. Dreamland skateparks and Evergreen skateparks have been building ALL over the united states and even out of the country for many years now . Great video as always John 🤙👊
Evergreen parks are horrible for actually skating. They basically just build glorified pump tracks. Probably fun if you have plenty of parks near you, but if you live in a small town you’d much prefer having a park where you can actually learn tricks.
I was skeptical myself until I skated one . This town vernonia in Oregon has one of the smallest populations in the state and they recently just got one and I have never seen a skate scene grow faster .
I feel like people just see the price and the final result. Putting in concrete like that isn't cheap and there's a good amount of prep work that needs to happen which also costs money... Honestly looks like a cool park to me.
rockin the storror shirt!
You should do a trick tip on frontside heels I always feel like they feel nice but I can never them or fakie front heels
We have one at Clifton forge va that he donated too as well
Shout out to tony , that’s a nice park , I wish that was my local
There should be more small parks like this. Can easily squeeze into weird spaces in existing parks. Cheap. Really low intimidation factor. Although could always throw in a skateable bench or two.
reppin storror ! love from uk
That’s actually a really dope mini park I’d love to have that as a hidden gem here in my city somewhere good job Tony
You should skate some Midwest skateparks, Minnesota and Iowa have some great parks
Thats a sick park! I wish that was in my hood!!!
Bless you
nice shirt! storror is awesome :3
great videos john! ^w^
Dude! Imagine hanging up and bust'n yo mug on that flat "hump"
(I dig the horn man!)
This seems like the perfect park for John
DBC.. Daily Blessings Coming! .. Thank You ALL for Everything, Everyday!! ... I wish I had that skatepark... LoL. Las Vegas parks are freaking Crazy weird and the Good ones are not close to me...😢
I love your content man. I use to watch you when you first joined revive. Tbh I miss the old you!! when you had vlogs and was grinding your clothing brand, those were some of the best video on this app. I still rewatch them to remind me how I got started on your channel. Please go back to the old video style. They were so creative and felt personal to the viewer. Please John!! I think others miss them too.
We’re finally getting a concrete park built in my small town and it’s definitely not easy and it’s only the first phase of many possibly
I live in Waxahachie Texas a hour south of ft worth. Our closest park is midlothian and it’s hardly a park but we ride around our town best we can
tesla and a 4Runner, damn John!
I got to say - having that try-counter is great for someone who is just at the beginning :)
Bor love the storror shirt!
That's so pricey for something that seems so simplistic, that's a tough one :/ however for somewhere an hour or two outside a big city even 1 skatepark is a big deal. A new one every year just sounds unbelievable!
is that a storror shirt from the parkour group?
My town of monroe louisiana has been trying to get a skatepark for 20 years!
I like little parks like this, they usually have the best ledges and trails, and they are rarely busy. However, they always default to the 4ft quarter which is great for dropping in on for speed to hit another obstacle but not good for most people to learn new tricks on. A foot shorter makes a huge difference when you're trying to learn blunt to fakie lol 😆
yah, so true, I designed the skatepark for my small town and made sure there was 2ft, 3ft, and 4ft transition because I've seen so many small skateparks that only had overambitious big transitions. I still struggle with the blunt to fakie on the 2 footer though...
damn you could literally make the same exact video with the same amount of info to dive into with my city, signed petitions for a park when i was a kid. got approved by the city council and the mayor never got built until about last year. ( 2009- present day pretty much )
That park has such a good flow 😂 I could skate that for hours 🛹
I don’t like how John says he sucks at transition when he is kinda cracked at transition. I’m referring to other John Hill videos btw
Yeah i can understand how the sponch ranch design got everyone extra hype for a let down. still looks like a nice mellow skate spot.
as someone from the Philippines, I would love to skate that park
Similar story to my local park in my municipality in Toronto
Yo I've been watching you for years across many accounts
whats the music?
The Blake Doyle park in Pensacola is new and awesome. cost like 2.2 mil though... Someone pocketed some money on that one haha... Had to get permits to get a permit guy to draw up plans for a permit.......
so like was there an investigation on the 150k?
Hey bud... you have a chrome update you need to install.
The storror top made me subscribe
As a local, i never knew tony hawk invested in out park.
wherent you in portugal?
John Hill I have a terrible, cool and unique skatepark recommendation for you that you might like to review. It's Spring Time Skatepark in San Antonio, Texas. It's awful but looks cool!
