Check out this video-relic. It shows the beginnings of Team Pain Skateparks, and how we have consistently pushed the design and construction envelope of skateparks for over a quarter century.
The video was posted by badger816, whose YouTube Channel has loads of sick skate videos.

What happened to the ramp?
The ramp was kept secret during the entire construction and filming. It was immediately taken down (Not by me but a bunch of yahoos) and stored at an outdoor RV storage yard. The guy that unloaded the ramps stacked them on top of each other, and over time all the ramps collapsed. A few years later, the ramps were given to Mike McGill to build his skatepark in Carlsbad CA. The ramps showed up in a complete mess, and we tried make something out of all the pieces. We built a vert ramp, mini ramp and street course out of it. The Best thing that went down was when Danny Way was almost pulling 900s on it. I believe it’s in the old H-street video.
Why PVC?
They, we wanted to use metal coping but there was such a rush to build it we had to use PVC. The grey stuff doesn’t crack and is not as slippery as the white stuff.

New footage of some of the local kids rippin’ the new street area at Skatelab!
Wish that park was it my town!
Just looking back at some old footage of the crew taking a long lunch break on what was close to the final day of building the Grapevine Mills ESPN X-Games Skatepark.
This mini ramp was so much fun because of how long it was and all of the extensions, escalators, and hips lined up perfectly! Man, we wanted to bowl that ramp in so bad… but, they would not let us!
Enjoy the video and send us a link to your own footage at info@teampain.com. We would love to check it out or post it.
Thank you.
The Skatelab Street Course is now open!

Skatelab Memories: Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff Video Shoot
As we started the demo of the large course today at the park I watched as the crew began to dismantle the “Fly Box” and so many great memories came flowing back. Over the years this area of the park has been kind of like the centerpiece of the Lab and I started to remember some of the great moments in Fly Box history so I thought I would try and scrape up a couple of pics of some of the cool things. One thing that stands out was the Limp Bizkit video shoot. The video featured The whole Band, Danny Way, Rob Dydrek, Lance Mountain and now Pro Skateboarder Torey Pudwill. The song was called Break Stuff. Here is the actual video and pic from the shoot. (words by Todd Huber)
