[TheUndeadParadise]

thumbs up if you think rob dyrdek should remake this spots as a safe spot skate spot

[WAKESKATEVIDEOS]

@TheUndeadParadise I'd rather have love park than woodward camp for free because it had every single thing, entry to more advanced.

[thisismirul]

Love Park is a heaven for skateboarders.

[mrcaptaingnar]

[C1rcaBoy13]

check out franklinskatefilms

[david3943]

Excuse me, what happened with love park?? I know it was demolished or something, but what for???

[docshuck]

@david3943 it was never demolished.. it was shut down for a while, then went under a renovation where the city made basically everything unskateable, then opened it up again.. there aren't many things to skate there anymore but you can, and people still do skate there. at least it was still there in 2007 when i left for california.. haven't been home since so i'm not sure. i haven't heard any news of it being demolished recently.

[TheIronMcC123456]

@david3943 it wasent demolished, its still there and skateable

[sstslide270out]

dude that switch backside flip was insane

[MarkyMarcNYC]

Anyone know the song starting at 7:54? appreciate it

[MrDrumrollplease]

im just sixteen, love was like a dream at 15. My friends drove me up there and so many people were there just chillin, skating, and having fun, i went back before i knew it was closed and got arrested. They told me it was closed and i just..flipped man

[TheIronMcC123456]

@MrDrumrollplease why were you arrested?

[cowpoke6]

what people dont see is that they take the parks from skaters we just skate office plazas and all the other stuff like that were the "public" is more so in turn they put us in there way.

[XxXeNjOilouiexXx]

what is this world coming to for skaters i mean love park closed brooklyn banks closed elto hand rail torn ddown what next hollywood 16 gone

[illa1990]

love park was a dream crushed for me and my krew it was gonna be our road trip.......... if ima a milloin year one day ima buy land and rebuild it ther than have a barbaque

[BIGBRUNS25]

Haha, yea that was some bull shit when the closed up shop, i'm guessing that some pro will rebuild it in like the next 5 years.

[ignorealienorders19]

WORD SON

[imadizzy1]

just go. you can skate it now, you just gotta keep your eyes open

[unionproductionspa]

it never got tore down. look it up. then go skate it

[THEBARFO]

@illa1990 love park is still there, and its still illegal to skate there, but you can usually get a good sesh in if you go at night or on a sunday....

[illa1990]

@THEBARFO for real bro dose it look the same i know it has skate blocks on it

[TheIronMcC123456]

@illa1990 you can still skate there now

[MAKER6450]

id kill to be able to roll again...broke my fukn hip in 3 places and life is now a bitch.

bless ervery day you get to skate cos one day it can all be takn away from you....one bad slam can end ya :(

[Lucid777]

wow thats fucked up but hey you may not be able to skate hard but you can still skate around casually surely

[MAKER6450]

yeah but it isnt the same.

i cant whip my legs around to do 360 flip and my ollies go all tweaked....its fukt.

[lhlforeverever]

@MAKER6450 dude i feel the same way...but my foots not as bad i hope you get better

[MeyerLenaLandrut]

@MAKER6450 danny way broke his neck and came back. its about your will and commitment

[MAKER6450]

@MeyerLenaLandrut yeah but thats not me, thats danny way and he is a fukn legend..

john cardiel broke his back and he hasnt come back.

shit happens man....im in way too much pain to skate but you wouldnt know what thats like.

[MeyerLenaLandrut]

@MAKER6450 theres a huge difference between a spinal injury and a broken hip, yours is much easier to heal actually... but if your sure you wont be able to skate anymore without million dollar surgery and a strong will, theres still so much stuff to do, just do art or start something else. that would be positive at least

[MAKER6450]

@MeyerLenaLandrut my hip needs to be replaced but im too young.

iv has 3 ops and iv got arthrits in my hip...im in fukn pain.

so plz stop telling me i could skate if i wanted to...i do wana skate for fuck sake...dont you think i would if i could.

skating was my whole world.

[MeyerLenaLandrut]

@MAKER6450 you will get over it. at least when you notice that there's other things in life

[MAKER6450]

@MeyerLenaLandrut well its been 10 years now.

I never wanted to do drugs cos i thought it would fuck my skating up...well when i lost my skating i did every drug under the sun and im still fighting the addiction.

like i said...life is now a bitch.

[MeyerLenaLandrut]

@MAKER6450 damn thats messed up. skating must have been a major part of your life. i live in a really fucked up place and actually did a lot of wrong stuff but one night something happened that made me realize that it cant go on that way. i gave my life to a higher power, you might not believe in it but it helped me out a lot.

[XheroinxchicX]

@MAKER6450 i hope you get better brother i have broken my front teeth ,broke my arm twice and sprained my ankle maybe twenty times really bad to the point i could not skate for a long time non of that is as bad as your injurys its the name of the game we dont land on pillows. i'm sorry man i hope things get better for you.

[grashopperjones]

@MAKER6450

fuck yeah your right

[WAKESKATEVIDEOS]

@MAKER6450 Wow man i can't imagine how tough that must be. but before i learned any tricks i just rolled around and had such a blast, i hope you can still do that. sorry man, but you just opened up my eyes. i will bless everyday i get to skate, even if i have one of those day where i dont land anything and ill still enjoy it now because your right, one day you might not be able too.

[roboaustin98]

@MAKER6450 same here but forearm in 4 places and i cant skate

[HosannaSkurfin]

@MAKER6450 howd u do that

[MAKER6450]

@HosannaSkurfin I was just doing a warm up trick down a set and whipt out.

[HosannaSkurfin]

@MAKER6450 no way..u must have weak bones. how big a set. u landed on the board and slipped out?

[MAKER6450]

@HosannaSkurfin no i dont have weak bones.

shit happens man....shit happens.

[HosannaSkurfin]

@MAKER6450 damn how does it feel now? learning how to fall is a big part of skating

[MAKER6450]

@HosannaSkurfin how does it feel?...it hurts man, i cant jump without it hurting so thats why i cant skate.,

gota get another op....this happened 9 years ago.

And yeah i know learning how to fall is a skill you gota master lol.....my elbows use to be full of fluid from slamming

its was just one of those freak accidents man...i knew i wasnt gona land it so i bailed but landed on my board anyway and whipt out....im sure everyones done that.

[HosannaSkurfin]

[ALMOSTdead33]

[FlamerTunes]

I loved skating there.But it will be missed

[Nootendw]

Sirius, why didn't they make love to a skate park?;S Now it's just a park wher eno one can come in..

[postitflower]

they popped up tiles and skated them

[Ninety2q]

Man, anytime I watched a Stevie Williams part on a video it used to get me hyped up as shit to go skate. Not only that, I went up to Love as a 15 year old and had the pleasure of watching him there one day, unreal man, Long Live Love

[TuInMono]

I'm from Asia you know what I just step there and skate once in my life before it shut down

[hydrohuman21]

If the park is still there you can still skate it. Fuck tha po-9.

[yoleopolo]

[jumpinpizza]

and give you a $100 fine and a night in prison

[ConnorSweeney]

i skate pphilly every weekend you are allowed to skate there and cops wont bother you

[LOVE4evermongonever]

no you're not. you can skate if there's no cop there but thats rare.

[SkateBhall]

i skated there a whole day

[Brandon413Taylor]

same here.

[LOVE4evermongonever]

done get me wrong its still possible, its just a rare occurrance

[Brandon413Taylor]

its cool i know what you mean.

[postitflower]

yea right

[landspeed24]

grow some balls

[ConnorSweeney]

i skate pphilly every weekend you are allowed to skate there and cops wont bother you

[landspeed24]

word.

[imhatinit]

Deleting my comments? Speaking the truth to these brain washed kids. On videos are factualy wrong on most accounts do some research before you make videos. Kalis banned from Philly is fact. Cairo Foster and Kenny Reed were also not welcomed in Philly.

[angreechild]

dude this park looks awesome :( i was young when it closed

[scrillaholik]

i used to skate love never smashed the gap like them but remember when love was the spot..

[Pokemonsuxballz]

that mayor is a sick fuck he probably knows that people will still skate there and will use the fine money to pay for male prostitutes and to feed his chronic addiction to meth and gay man porn

copy paste if you agree

[mathclub3]

you are an idiot

[JoeSlapaHoe91]

its a good video i just wish the quality didnt suck so much... i wish i coulda skated love

[scooterkillkidphil]

so can u skate love park like now in 2009?

[mathclub3]

nah man

[ThirdRailDeath]

well you CAN still skate it. its just harder, less to do, and police will be up your ass

[sweeper137]

why is the mayor of philly such a dick?

[xxxtremexx021]

i know dude. skaters arent aloud anywhere it pisses me off

[mathclub3]

The mayor that closed LOVE isn't the mayor anymore, and its not like they're going to unrenovate it because its a lot different now. I live fairly close to it.

[ooberskate]

was this like a TV series or something? it's really well done!

[Lucid777]

i got differnt parts from differnt sites as there parts where missing an 2 years ago that was fucking difficult lol i really have no idea where it originally came from

[imadizzy1]

@Lucid777 411 used to have a series called "on video" that usually had a big documentary section at the end. came out 4 times a year. Check out the one on Natas Kaupas if you can (I'm sure its on youtube somewhere)

[PurpleCinematics]

@Lucid777

ONVideo

[adamapoirier]

@Lucid777 "on video" love story

[Boardslydr]

its from a video magazine called ON video

[dillcat09]

its a on skateboarding vid like a special edition 1 jus 4 love

[appleseedees]

@ooberskate It's from an ON video, a video magazine much like 441, only with with more in-depth "articles" like this one.

[MFGProductions]

@ooberskate It was a film

[louis2g]

[YoshiClone112]

[herkyjerky42]

does anyone know where i can buy ON video shit?

[muddgutt]

Used to skate Love, waaaayyyy back, great to see this video. Went an saw Fugazi with Vern about 18 years ago at Drexel. The lines they adapted to be able to skate the crap they put in the way are really sick now a days. Love might not be waht it used to but Philly skating still kicks arse.

[petradaki]

Does anybody know what is that last song? (Starting at 7. 54)

[live4anarchy696]

why do people always try to make it look sad

i was just down there the other day

the scenes not totally dead

its just diffrentt

idk... msg me with questions?

[joeysteez3]

love is the most legendary place to skate. just think of how many skaters became what they are today from skating there. free love. we need it

[emericanskater628]

how sick of a dude is kalis

[M1K3MALD0NAD0]

i skate there every weekend, i never got caught yet.

[PlanBSk8er45]

you still skatin it?

[yeahhammer]

does it look like it did before i will go there sometime because i live in sweden

[PoopyMold]

yeah its pretty much the same just some benches in front of ledges. went there yesterday nothing happened

[Skatemore1243]

i hate all this so much. i know its been years since it got shut down and the last pro footy was shot, but i used to live about 20 minutes from LOVE and i was like 8. but i hate myself so much cuz i never realized how epic LOVE was at the time. i could have been there every weekend and been watching this amazing skating go down but i just didnt know what was happening. FREE LO  VE

[Lucid777]

dude the fact you understand why places like love are so special means more to skateboarding then watching pros aslong as we keep doing what we love skating will allways be around long after all our spots are dead

[vismundcignus]

Excellent documentary, I'm not a skateboarder, I came upon this video. Man, I do hate politicians just as you. And this aspect of it just hit me like a ton of bricks. The skateboarding shot like that was brilliant, excellent job. Fight for your park. "Skate and destroy" Hahaha. I would take a skater bumping into me while doing this art coming from work anyday over a drug dealer, a bum, a crackhead or a prostitute anyday guys. Salutations from a Juarez commuter to El Paso. Bush es un pendejo...

[justanotheroneofme]

Well said Vismundcignus.

[Switchcrooks]

I skated there for 2 hours last weekend

[thesherwoodforest]

Free Love!

[chsievers]

when I was a kid my friends and I were skating the stairs on the side of the fountain and some guy was trying to ollie down a set, but he kept missing. I said "That guy sucks" and my friend slapped me on the back of the head and said "Dude, do you know who that is?" and I said "No", and he said "That's Pappalardo, and by the way, he's doing it switch, and he can do that into the fountain." so now watching this is making me feel stupid all over again 12 years later.

[chsievers]

my bad, I feel stupid again I just realized it wasn't him it was someone else, I feel stupid once again. he was probably like six 12 years ago it was someone with a name like that, but I swear it was at Love I just hit my head too many times.

[chsievers]

O.k. maybe it was him. was he skating around '94-'96. maybe it was before he was pro. no more from me, you can start the negative comments now.

[Lucid777]

LOL dude your so lucky to even have the chance to skate there !! funny story though

[chsievers]

Thanks Bro,

I was really tired last night and for some reason that dudes name sounded familiar. I skated there every weekend when I was a teenager, I have many stories of running from cops and chilling with homeless dudes. And I saw some sick stuff go down there. It was from about '94 to maybe '99 when I left to go to college. It may have been that dude, but who knows the only thing that matters is, cool video dude, thanks

[rezmoneynwkubs]

ex mayor john street fucked the city up.

[lilbatmanomar1]

D C offred the city 1 million dollars to leave it alone let skaters skate it but the city refused WTF

[TylerFlip12]

damn...

the mayor is a stupid shit.

Skateboarding gave life to love park

[thornyskater]
