    11:10 hell of a landing John. Interesting how every building seems to have security to run skateboarders off, it’s a shame. Also sad to see the homelessness but it’s a reality until this country addresses mental health and other issues. Great video!

    I remember growing up skating & stuff. I feel like I had this one friend who tried stuff he was never ever going to land bc he wasn’t as good as he thought he was. And I was a filmer so for me it was pretty frustrating back then. Especially with having tapes and everything. I wish I had friends like you & your skill level growing up. You have such a good attitude too with skating. The ppl I knew thought they were better than everyone all the time. It was weird.

    my Texas family members got really defensive when I informed them that Dallas was a dump. I'm not surprised you were sketched out. you need to roll around strapped if you're gonna go filming there. it's an open carry state. I know it seems extreme but so many people there are either packing heat or are mentally unwell. .380 is a good self defense caliber. one love

    I always used to prefer street skating even with friends but as an adult alone I’m always worried about getting bothered or charged/a ticket. Luckily there’s a good small park in my area but prefer to go when it’s empty since most there are teens with bmx or scooter kids. Back in another city when younger I was encouraged & taught to go down big ramps by an older skater tho

    The white building (w/ stairs) on the left side in the shot at 2:17 is the former Dallas City Hall/Police Headquarters. It was in the basement of that building where Jack Ruby murdered Lee Harvey Oswald as he was being escorted to an armored vehicle for transportation to the county jail, two days after Oswald was accused of the assassination of President JFK.
