I grew up in Eastlake and essentially lived at the original Eastlake skatepark. It was truly my home away from home. What was amazing about the original park is we had skateboarders, bladers, and BMXers all sessioning together and having a great time. It wasn’t the greatest park in the world, but it was our park. When the original park was torn down it honestly hurt. A place I spent thousands of hours at over 10+ years was suddenly gone. Fast forward a bit later and there were talks of the city reviving the park. Even though I live out of state now, I became extremely excited. I envisioned being able to teach my daughter to skate at the place I learned. My dream quickly turned into a nightmare when I learned the city would be leaving the new park up to a group of Tech School students with absolutely zero experience on how a skate park should be built. First, I want to say I don’t blame the kids. They did their best with the limited knowledge and skills they had building these types of structures. The city is 100% responsible for essentially wasting taxpayer dollars to build what I can only describe as a death trap. That’s the end of my rant or whatever the hell that was. I shot the first “Brofest” video that featured some of the local skaters and BMXers before the original park was destroyed, which can be found on my channel.
They built the original park and never did a thing for upkeep. All repairs were done by the people who used that park. Then the city decided the park was no longer safe and shut it down. Then this unforgiving, and unbridgeable abomination showed up...
parklifelee the city failed us when they left the project up to a bunch of high school kids. You can’t be mad at the kids... they didn’t know better. But the simpletons that thought it was a good idea in the first place need to be held accountable for completely wasting taxpayer dollars on a death trap.
I grew riding the original park for 10+ years. Idk what hurt more... watching the original park get destroyed or seeing what the Eastlake Skatepark has become.
🗣️He has been riding a similar set up for the past few weeks inside his buddy's warehouse facility check videos back on Jay Dalton's channel & you'll see them ride it's exactly like the spine in Spencer's upload. Jay is way better than most people think & very well rounded that's why he started on Scotty's Crammer's UA-cam years ago & made his own success off the clout from other sponsored BMX riders introducing him while posting a line or two of Jay doing the craziest hangfives that anyone has ever seen..🚴
I was stoked to see a Spencer video. Then I got more stoked when he showed that sick park. Then even MORE stoke washed over me when I saw Jay. Nick Bruce, I was close to stoked out. But when freakin AARON SIMONE showed up?? I overstoked and am now in the ER. Old school Connecticut vibes all over this one. GO TO WILLIMANTIC!!!!!!
How ever much the local council paid to have those ramps built was too much! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the contractors first bash at a skatepark. Oh my god🤣
Welcome to my neck of the woods were every skatepark is just plain terrible unless you go to Ray's. Back in the 90's I guess Independents skatepark was one of the best parks in NE Ohio and there was also Chenga during that time. Want a good laugh, check out the Mentor Skatepark across from the high school.

redninja216 yep...
It’s nice to see an old head reminisce about a place that I still shred
"nice little touch"... LMAO dead ahahahaha
I literally spat my drink out when I heard HM
@@PaulPenalver just comes out of nowhere too
The city: "Stop riding on private property, we have a skatepark downtown!"
*The skatepark downtown*
Been at that park once or twice when visiting family in Eastlake everything there is so much sketchyer than it looks
Same i went there too and broke my neck
Eastlake Council need to get their money back

@@LakeCountySkateboarding yea man I’m sorry to here that
Honestly I am super impressed Jay was even able to ride that spine. That thing looks impossible
It was the ease in which he was able to ride it which impressed me! Hats off to Jay

Not only is that steep AF but slippery! Who built this ??
that ramp is so effed up. but now i wanna see skaters hit it too
@@davidfetter728 me i built it
The transitions are so mellow on that vert setup.
Give this man an award for the least sarcastic UA-cam channel ever!
Greaselake Ohio baby! That mini ramp transition is so brutal even Jay Dalton was sweatin' it...
Can you imagine being a kid at this park and having all these guys show up.
Minds blown for decades!
They showed up at my random crap park and I was like what 😂
or just a 28yo like me
Imagine being a kid thinking this is a normal skatepark and tries to drop in on that mini lol
Lol ikr
Jay is a god, who else could ride that ramp
so well ❤️
“Welcome to my ramp, this is my ramp, I designed it”
Jay Dalton 2020
Loving the vids Spence, my life hasn't been the same since you took a break from UA-cam. Happy to have you back bo
Oh my gosh. The Harry main reference was amazing 😂
Calling it now spencer set that shot up for the thumbnail like always 😂😂😂
That guy who was the local pro had no chin for his strap 😂😂 he was ripping though
The nice little touch of beef flavour made it even better
nice little touch
Lmfaoooo I was not expecting the "nice little touch" shade to be thrown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
jay is the only human that can ride that ramp like that.
nice little touch innit!
now thats a tbt and its not even thursday lol
At least it sounds awesome anytime you send anything on those metal ramps lol
That ramp is terrifying haha
"UA-cam pushes videos back... Months"
Now I understand
that harry main quote hahah
Noice little touch
LOVED the Harry main “nice lil touch”
this is even better than my local 😂😂
I was stoked to see a Spencer video. Then I got more stoked when he showed that sick park. Then even MORE stoke washed over me when I saw Jay. Nick Bruce, I was close to stoked out.

I detect an Arron Imposter. That guy was WAY too quiet to be the real Aaron Simone.
That was almost as good as yesterday's vid! Cant wait for tomorrow's upload!
Nice little touch innit
"Looks like a senior picture now"😂🤣
Nice little touch init 🤣
7:33 hahahaha man I miss Skegs
Some bangers at the end of video
6:43 dude... 😂
NICE 'LIL TOUCH INNIT
thumbnail as good as always 😂
Thats happen when the county build something without professional advise :/
Yeah man never have non-riders make a skatepark
They did it worse. It was our high school junior welding class that made it. It was quite possibly the worst idea they thought of.
@@midmin375 What a cool project.
@@midmin375 as someone who took welding age 16,
that is fucking hilarious information.
Thanks for the good laugh haha.
Need more of these fine skatepark visits
Your personality makes me laugh
This is the best 😂
Awesome! Super happy to see you this often again. Stay safe. Peace
A NICE LIL TOUCH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Man whats with the harry jokes im fucking DEAD
lmao that deer
This new series is excellent !
This nature video was next level!
That spine setup looks so smooth
The Barry main sound clip was genius
*I AM SPEEEEEED* (but only when ever Spencer uploads)
Nick has game genie
That had to be embarrassing for nick to ride but you guys made to best of it 👍
Where's the dragonslayer man
signature move bro
Good vid. Heck of a crew that day. 👍🏼
Gages chin is so small his helmet straps have no where to go lol
Right in my feels bro :( 😂😂😂😂
Ever notice that when the huskies crash it’s always way more dramatic?
Dude!! This park is phenomenal. How are there not more pros? Is this the park for Dew Tour??
Heavy metal. 🤘
Who designed that psrk???
The craziest handplant ever 😂
That was Awesome, Not the park but seeing you all ride that shit show. I feel lucky my local park is concrete. Jay and Spencer Yayyyyyy :)
It was actually alot better that i thought
Nick is a fish out of water there. So is Jay. But at least they’re willing to go when they could be riding whatever they wanted to.
So glad you’re back!
Talk to matty Cranmer about those no hander landers lol
How ever much the local council paid to have those ramps built was too much!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the contractors first bash at a skatepark. Oh my god🤣
No they let the schools welding program make it 😂😂😂😂
Hi nice video stay safe
Still way better than my local park

Check out the bottom of that, its like an inch and a half off the ground, its for the skaters, they love that. Lmao!
Damn it youtube, don't hold back Spencers videos for months!
Hang 5 bar? Fucken awesome
Y’all should come back down to Florida
WE NEED THE STICKIES
This park is like an hour away from me sorry you had to experience it Lmao
Yay
That huge ramp I dropped in on it today on skateboard
was it nice?
Ya I did it on all of them on a skateboard
harry main vibes
I wish the parks here looked like that. Come try the skate park in Conway, Arkansas. At the McGee center.
Yes Spencer more uploads, spare us the van life and get rippin boyo. Got all that bloke?
I live in the uk so this is a dream tbh
I am a steet rider and i ride often sketchy thinks so the skatepark is actually fine :)
the only thing that could make this park better is a game of S.C.O.O.T with you and harry main
Can't tell if I just got a nostalgia hit or PTSD from that sentence, feelsbadman
Dec not getting notifications. What the sshhiitttttt
Great video but I think it was missing some flat ground carves. Hardest trick in the book. Can't believe you left that out....
You need to check out trinidad Colorado. It has an amazing pro level concrete park
Spencer you should come to detroit
Come to Wisconsin. Racine outdoor park and Four Seasons indoor park in Milwaukee would be good for Husky Nation.
Come to pawlak park in Lorain Ohio it’s a huge half pipe
jay and spencer are my 2 favourite fortnite players
Hey, this is my home town
That fucking wind tho
king tyler looks like sean sexton
What you get out of that, " ohh nothing", okay.
true cult black metal ramp
Sketchy 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t even know how he went over that spine lol wtf
Im sure everyone would appreciate a day in the life van life/bmx style
I love ur vids ur the boss
That tyre ride no footer tho
So many Olympic parks in this area im moving to eastlake
