    [READ ME] So stoked to provide you guys an update on the "Fake Skatepark" in NYC! Here's the original video if you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/Bswpu4ne8D4/v-deo.html
    Do you guys find this as interesting/fascinating as I do???
    A couple announcements for y'all:
    1. I just posted a new video on my second channel yesterday! I'll be uploading WEEKLY on that channel every Thursday, so check it out and hit me with a sub! ua-cam.com/video/b8NVnfHhOgY/v-deo.html
    2. Also, don't forget to grab this special offer for 20% off a windbreaker from Arrow Skate Co (my clothing brand): arrowskate.com/discount/FAKEPARKS
    Thanks for watching, and I hope your 2022 is off to a nice start 💜
    - George

    Hey this was a New York State Department of Transportation planning, design and construction project that was part of the K-Bridge. I was the Landscape Architect Design Supervisor for NYSDOT. The open space was designed to be a multi functional space with a Skate Park component, with the understanding that it could grow and expand with time. There are two new playgrounds being designed one on The Brooklyn side and one on the Queens side. Wait for the new Skate Park on the Queens side it will be sick. And you could skate over the K-Bridge to access either side to enjoy the Manhattan view while crossing over. Enjoy!!!! The spaces that I have envisioned tend to have a life of their own, after they have been given birth they mature and take on a life of their own as part of the community!!

    sick video George, i really like the way you edit and put everything together. i have actually been to this "fake skatepark" and i also had a blast skating it.

    Hilariously there is a "real" skatepark about two blocks from this and it's always empty. But this "fake" skatepark is starting to get packed with people.

    This is going on my list of Parks to check out once it gets warmer... NY could definitely use more parks like this. I wish they'd put some money into my home park Forest Park Skatepark to make it more like this.

    That spot looks awesome! I'm sure you've heard of Zach Dowdy, that dude makes DIY spots. If you haven't heard of him check out his videos, that dude works really hard on skate spots. Unfortunately the spots get destroyed from time to time. I agree with the feeling of skateboarding at a park vs street skating in the city, totally different feeling. Thanks for all your work and the rad videos you put out

    Sick spot, that kickflip up the euro was actually pretty crazy. Hopefully it sticks around for a while.
    I don’t mind skating in public, I actually like it when people hang around and watch, but what I don’t like is feeling walled off and being stared at like I’m in a zoo.

      Depends what you mean by negative. I am totally fine with differing opinions and mature conversations stemming from disagreement. But I have a 0 tolerance policy for comments that are purely based in hate (judging based on appearances, bullying, homophobia, just trying to make someone angry, etc)
