[antonio202020]

fucking Buck Smith, bitches!!!!!!!! he is another underrated skater..........

[chingling20092009]

song--snow or more commonly known as hey oh by the red hot chili peppers

[homiescopies]

what, someone couldn't spring for some pumps ? 2500 people attend, and lil kids are luggin out water in garbage cans ? great skating and song though !

[TennesseeRocket]

The park, oddly enough, has no pumps. Also kind of surprised me that in the south that no one had pumps in their car because for some reason at least one person always has something like that with them. Also I do not understand why predominantly little kids cleaned the water, guess it might have been to say they cleaned it or they thought it was cool? Guess you never know though. And thanks, the tombstone is one of the hardest things to skate so its hard to truly respect it just by this video.

[h3fighter]

@TennesseeRocket kona is a home to skaters, longboarders, bladers, bmxers. all the little kids, they are all skaters. anyone who goes to kona is part of a family. i belong to that family. kona is a home to me. we do whatever we can to help out with our home. whether we are bailing out Bowl, Freestyle, or even the Snake Bowl, we do what we can to make our home a better place. im thinking about asking the owner if i can help repave the J Run. its getting a huge crack in it. come see the fam again!

[ggreg0302]

beautiful head xD

[leatherface12345]

i was there!

[brenasaurusrex]

[SkaterSam255]

I love this park I am going there today

[whooperpooper86]

that skate park looks like so much fun

[TennesseeRocket]

It is the best park I have been to. Has a sick street section, all the old school sections, the snake run, the two halfpipes... Its amazing

[whooperpooper86]

niceeeeeeeeeeee

[h3fighter]

@TennesseeRocket half of big brown, our 14 foot high Wooden Vert Half Pipe,is actually down for repairs right now. we are hoping to have it back to its full potential soon

[wangopuff]

Can anybody please help me reach 800 subers by next week.... I made a bet with my friend that i can't but i think i can.... PLEASE HELP $80 on the line

[anglfangs]

I love this skate park....I have lived in Jax my whole life.

[leatherface12345]

Nice me To I have maybe seen you at skatelab before it shut down and didn't know it.

[rosshen88]

i was there!!

[grrommm]

so it was opened on 7/7/77? nice

[OrinSkaterDude]

nice catch at 3.07

[DCProductions77]

the greatest park ever hands down, i would catch the bus all the way from the military base to skate this park. And jacksonville bus system sucked ass. I miss skating there. They are always were building something new and fast. I would have felt very comfortable with growing up there instead of being stationed there and moving. I dont know where the guy got the balls to ride up that wall? It looks small on film but the wall caves in in the middle. Just going down it is an accomplishment.

[SkaterPlanB15]

[zijnnjiz]

Great comprehensive video. I was inside the clubhouse the whole day, and I'm stoked to know everyone got such a show and had a good time. Come back next year!

ps. Buck and Mike simultaneous boneless on the tombstone ... insanity.

[TennesseeRocket]

i filmed it jus when i filmed it the camera blurred up..... so i couldnt use it

[able1039]

Great video! You dug threw alot of footage to put that together. 7-7-7 was one of the greatest days ever for me and probably for everyone else in attendance.

[TennesseeRocket]

yea i had over an hour of footy from that day, it took forever to make this, cuz i jus loaded it all on to my comp then looked through it from there.

[bksk8r]

My skin still tingels watching that. Good job. 4 days straight we were in the house!!!

[mattman123]

if there wasn't music every time someone hit the tombstone you'd here- hey can you get my sticker?? that kid pissed me off
