remember when thy wanted to close hailey skatepark... now they want to add on

[zooyorkcracker]

these are the skaters that remind me what its all about where im at to many trendy punks cant wait to move out here. i dont feel the "skater love". thats so common up north and out west.nice video. i think all the kids that complain about not havin a park should watch this and see its there actions sometimes that prevent it.

Thanks a lot for this video Mark, I'll probably be using it in class soon and maybe for an editorial about the skate plaza expansion in Hailey.

The Ketchum skatepark is definately one of the best parks that i've ever been to. Burke's little kf melon 360 at the end is pretty rad too. Haha. This video almost makes me want to move back from Maui to Idaho... just to skate that sh!t again! This video is rad. I miss you IDAHO!

Hey BEAV! Remember (in wooden skatepark days) when you learned to rush the big monster 1/4 pipe to 50/50 the coping to transfer the the monster wedge?? All on the biggest obstacle in the wooden park!?!

Ahhh, good times. Gotta say, i liked the wood park more. More diversity, bigger, RAW.
