That video definatly is somers point and starting at 1:46 is the Super Surf skateboard park in Vineland, N.J. I was there that day at Super Surf that is me and my friends on the snake run, (the last scene) It was the summer of 1979. Will the person who poseted this please contact me at mike@srskate.com

@CementRoots Your estimate of 1977 is a couple of years early. Pig boards, Flyaway helmets, Norcon pads with plastic caps, and halfpipe ramps with flat bottom didn't exist in 1977. I'd say this was more like mid-1979. Cool vid, though!

I skated there as a kid. It was on my dads mail route. I got my first real Sims skateboard with kryptonics wheels. Also I believe the kid that work there was Rick. I also remember the original Ocean City skate park right below Wonderland Pier.

I can verify it- my grandfather and dad owned it (yup, Platt)! I was there everyday- we even had a skateboard team for a bit. I can't believe u have this! Awesome! Man that was sooooo much fun! Me and this chick Pam were the only girls ever there!

I lived a block away from this park as a kid. It was where 5th street dead ended before you got to the football fields and the pit. I was only 7 or 8 when I rode it, and later on used to break in after it closed.
