I took some video clips yesterday at the park and put them together using windows movie maker which I've never touched before.

The good thing about 90 degree weather is the park is mostly empty!

After watching the playback (which I didn't realize I had the camera set for such a low resolution), the jumps don't look as big as they felt.

I didn't get any grinds in the mini half pipe, just wasn't working for me yesterday and nobody had wax.

"Random dude 1" Lol, nice of you to give credit where credit is due!

Nice stunts! I haven't skated since before joining the forums, I probably can't even handle a small incline anymore.

Cool video, nice flips!

I am so jealous at you US people for all your skate parks!
I've been skateboarding for 7+ years now and most of the parks here in Germany suck... or there isn't even one around that you could go to...

I live in the US, been to 7 states, and I've never even seen a skate park.

Cool video, how many times did you land on your head while filming it?

He's right.

I lead a second life in electro/industrial clubs/events.

People who see me code don't see the other me and people who see me dancing, don't know I code.

It's a shame they're normally filled with tweens who play too many skating games.

Nice job though, pretty good flips. I used to skate quite a lot, but after I discovered computers, you'll be lucky to even see me walking.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

Those were actually all first takes. Which was a good thing too, since my camera died shortly after.

Must not be looking hard. I manage to find a park in every state I visit, even the tiny remote cities in the middle of nowhere. You won't always find the parks by just driving around. The one in the video is actually behind a police station.

Maybe they're just hard to find for a reason.
