those guys are very good. I wish they had wore some sort of padding, since this video will likely inspire other, not so great, roller bladers to do the same.

You are probably right. Chances are there aren't that many abandoned water parks ...

You are probably right. Chances are there aren't that many abandoned water parks ... While there might not be that many abandoned water parks out there, there are quite a few other places that are abandoned. I believe there is an abandoned amusement park somewhere near Cleveland, even though the place closed back in the 70s, many of the rides including the ferris wheel and roller coaster are still there. Of course after all of these years, some parts of the roller coaster have since collapsed and so many weeds and trees have grown to the point where one tree even grew taller than the ferris wheel ( and inside that thing too ). Yet on a few amusement park websites one can see pics of kids climbing along the tracks of the coaster and going inside
the buildings.
Remember that movie from 1980 called "The Blues Brothers"? That scene where Jake and Ellwood drive their car into a mall? Not only was that a real mall but the mall I believe is still standing today. Totally abandoned. Despite the damages over the years ( including fires ) people still go into that building and make movies of themeselves acting like, well just like Jake & Ellwood. Not exactly a safe thing to do.

no, but there are plenty of similar abandoned places or places that are temporarily out of use that skaters would find just as enjoyable such as amuzement parks, malls, school buildings, swimming pools,etc.

The mall you are talking about is Dixie Square in Harvey, IL. The website about it is at http://dixiesquare.com/Main.html

Hell, I would have done that back inthe 50's and 60's, had there been water parks, and of course had I been able to find my roller skate key.
