FWI, i designed and guided construction on this skatepark. The reason park was not open is 2 people fell in the big 12 foot concrete bowl a year before this filming happened and that closed it for safety reasons. But saying that, only 2 sections of the park have ever been opened, this section this guy rode has never opened anyway. I rode the whole park which was fun. However they park was built by the cheapest local construction company and concrete quality and workmanship is bad. I had no say in those matters. Thats China. Parks these days in China ae generally getting better quality for the larger ones are trying to follow Olympics type standards if possible.

3:08 When he tried to shut your door, but you hug him instead... I loved it. 😄

I will never understand skate parks under locks and fences.

apocalyptic park, the zombies have won

Hi Lino， Im a Guangzhou skater and i'm sorry what has happened to you, and THE GMP is not build for the skater to skate, the government only open the two smaller part of the park in maybe 9-12am and 3-6pm. How long will you stay in GZ?and Guangzhou has so many place to skate(most are street) hope we can skate together and maybe I can help!

Did they just build it to say they have the biggest and then no one skates it?

Interesting story. It was fun while it lasted. I don't think that you want to be arrested in China for skating.

What a waste. They should maintain the skate park.

The guy said its open on 3pm in chinese.but not sure he means the park or the other area. Anyhow u should call powerslide people in china. Somtimes u need some conections to work thing out in china. Good luck bro.looking foward to see more videos in china.

Wow. That's insane. Great video! It was a Huge shame about the park, I really hope your luck turns around. Although you did not find what you/we hoped for, at least you have created a entertaining edit. Nice job 👌

That is just sad. Keep up the videos! They are very enjoyable.

Only in China can they warrant paying so many people to guard an empty piece of land. Bizarre. My town has the biggest subterranean skate park in the world. It's mostly bmx, scouters and skateboards... But it's open!

I feel for you man, you traveled Al that way with your heart set on riding the park just to find it the opposite. But you do find the positive out of everything even if it means risking your safety for what you love, and I respect that. Keep safe Ricardo!

I was uneasy this whole video nice job rico! How did you get back to where you were staying can't imagine it was with an uber?

Interesting video bro

Keep up the vids. It’s interesting to see, even if you don’t get to skate

that is devastating man - keep your head up !

That hurts the eyes..all those ramps neglected! I'd also love a speed-skating track near me dammit. Hope the rest of the trip is successful, looking forward to seeing you shred China!!!

That shirt is giving me anxiety with it's stretched out collar LOL, man I love your videos, I watch them before I go out and skate, they get me hyped to hit the pavement.

i was living in China and that guy seems was telling you the park is opened from 3pm or from wednesday. whatever i am planning to go back and before leaving China i joined a big aggressive inline skating community, there is a new HERO skatepark opening soon or already opened, the most of people do street skating there is a lot of nice spots all over the city, at least you got some fun i guess lol

At 8:05 he's trying to say it's not time yet. He was gesturing "3 o'clock in the afternoon". It's so frustrating watching you NOT understand him. And the phrase you kept repeating means "it's not time yet".

Relly. . You are superman recardo lino. .. You going every weer. . Good video's. . I have big respect for You and your talent. .. rngoy it in china. .

It's funny when you see ppl act oblivious knowing they doing wrong... Happens to me all the time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice one for skating it, true rebel! 🤓

this is funny and sad at the same time

Hell Yeah, man!!! Straight jumped the gates, Ol’ Skool Style!!! 😂🤣😂👍

nice shirt hahah cheers from brasil :) dalhe no patins carai

Good footage of journey , Bay fam

I rode that section! Same deal had to jump the fence. Was hard to find then closed, buddy broke his leg in 5 mins. Great video will be sure to follow.

This is so sad, Im from Brazil and skate since 1995, and in here is the same thing, all the Skate Parks and Ramps are gone. =(

Theres going to be a skate park in desmoines, iowa that will be around 217800 sq ft! GMP in Guangzhou only has 182,000 square feet

Nice promo video for the new Fallout game. Good job Ricardo :)

The biggest skatepark in the world that go to waste.

i hope next time you could fly to borneo and skate here :D

thank you for doing it for us, if the park was alive it would have been skating paradise :/

I thought it was kind of funny when that first Chinese woman was trying to say “do not intrude” and Ricardo didn’t understand because she speaks more formal and better English than many of us do. As an American, I thought that was pretty funny. It reminds me of the time I was traveling through England on a train and these English kids in my car were being friendly and started talking to me. I thought I would be so relieved to finally be speaking with people who spoke my language after having been traveling through French and German speaking Switzerland on a hiking trip. And I hardly understood a word these British kids were saying. LOL

You should go with the local skaters or even ask for advices from skaters in Hong Kong.

from what i experienced in China, the people are actually friendly and do not have ill will, eventhough the guard that chased you out didnt seem the nicest, i can assure you he do not have bad things in the heart, just part of his orders probably and he couldnt speak chinese at all, and you're a foreignor, he didn't want to disrespect you but there is not much else he could say. i am a chinese myself but more culturally english. you have to understand, some parts, even the city, there will have many citizens who cant speak english at all. only in recent years they started improving as a country, and economically. but the older generations, english is not a norm at all. i can't speak mandarin myself, but i wish there was someone to help you and ask what is the matter and why is it closed. actually, it wont be any harm since you risk more injury to yourself than the property actually, they shouldn't be too much concerned. northern of china is actually very beautiful and colder. i hope this experience do not deter you from visiting again, at least other parts of China. seba for example has huge activity there, and a lot of other organisations. inline skating is very big there compared to many other countries, i would say the numbers of skaters and events level can equal to that of france. if you cant skate in the park, im sure you can go throughout the city, GMdiaries style of greg mirzoyan. you need a guide though. with the proper group, i'm sure your experience will be very fun, cuz the food and everything is very cheap, there are a lot of outdoor bazaar shopping to do and chinese people are great and hospitable. so i do hope you visit again, try going to the city like tianjin and beijing, the major cities, during Chinese new year. the cities will be Very empty as many will return to their respective families in their villages. it would be so quiet and empty, then you can skate around with great weather. i hope you do visit again. what i like about skating is, its fun and it can be a part of exploration/travel. best regards.

Seems like something constructed to earn a commission, then forgotten.

So you are heading to the 2. biggest now?

I had the same experience, feel you...💔

Brings back memories of me being kicked out place by security in China a lot

Bad luck Lino :(

What a downer. An awesome video, wish we had such huge ramps where I am

U crazy playing wit the Chinese like that lol 😅🫡

Did you ever find out why it was closed?

wow，when did you went to Guangzhou？ Ive lived here for years and I dont know how to get in either. The government is stupid

Sad to see it go to waste. Seems like you need to find a translation app of some sort. keep up the awesome content and try not to get arrested.

Sad story... head up Ricardo

Seemed like some chill guards though, you got lucky! The whole time i'm talking to my screen saying, "use google translate" hahaha Does it not work very well?

The park looks more like the saddest skate park in the world.

Allways smileing and dont know what fun is. I like that style. /s

hey bro come to hanzhou in zhejiang if you have time, you will like it and ill take care of you :)

whats the name of the song used at 14:54?

That is heartbreaking

That one gaurd seemed really nice lol

Terrible, no reason for that park to be in such bad shape.

Fun fact, using GPS Maps in china is impossible because they have made it that way by design. You have to ask locals where things are or walk within 1200m of the GPS location in ANY direction at random due to the algorithm they designed.

Incrível e triste ao mesmo tempo

How can you cannot draw much attention when you're the only one skating :-D :-D :-D ? Anyway, big like for what you've done.

Hey Ricardo! I am a big fan, and I love your videos, but I always wanted to know where you come from. I see you in South Africa, the Philippines , USA, Europe, and now in China...... You are a rollerblading traveler. But I always wanted to know where you are from, because you have a Portuguese or Spanish accent.... I'm just curious, because you are in so many places, that I don't know where is home?

should have got a language app or a translator device. google obviously wont work i guess.

Always do your research

Vem pra hong kong! Vai ser legal te receber aqui!!

Sorry about that!

I think this place was closed due to safety and build issues...Sorry you didn't get to skate it. I hate seeing abandoned parks, especially when they are locked up.

I want to go there..

I'd remove it from any list claiming it is a skate park...

Seems kinda strange because it takes so little to police a skate part. Seems that for a couple dollars admission you can keep someone around to kick rule breakers out. The chinese as a culture are generally conformists to authority (better than Americans) so I can't imaging the problem.

It days open at 3pm.

2:20 Ricardo : "straight, straight, straight" Two seconds later "LEFT, RIGHT"

Bro , cernobyl is nothing compared with that ghost city

Jesus man what a bad luck and what a shame lots of stuf for nothing but ok you like always very well great job👌

I will never understand Life

they closed that park because they can't maintenance that sad too sad, where I live they're a skate park but you can't skate on it, just the skateboarding people can I don't now how to enter a bowl but that's not fair for rollers, and they put rules to that park and a police :'c

this is so freeking funny

So sad but the securities were funny. I understand what they said cuz I'm from Hong Kong 😄

Are u sure that’s not North Korea? Big skatepark w nobody in or around at all super creepy

What a bummer man.

Porra, que sacanagem.. Espero que você tenha outros bons planos para essa viagem! Pretende voltar ao Brasil algum dia? Seria legal darmos um rolé juntos!

I feel your enthusiasm, going this skatepark to skate, no gate will hold you back if you came this far! also quite sad that outdoor parks can be closed? just how?

I laugh so hard when you said that u have no pants n u can't get in there hahahahahahaha

Hello, I'm blader in Hong Kong,if you don't mind ,try to come and join us in Hong Kong 😅

14:56 The lyric is "I'm stupid. I'm stupid..." on russian. Self-criticism without knowing about It. I'm sorry...

Bummer

Damn its like they took apart that vert ramp just to make it un-skatable.

So sad, maybe 'too big to fail' does not apply to skate parks. Can somebody add translation of chinese?

How can such a sick spot be closed 😐

You didnt call before you go?????

Bro, they say it's forbidden. But you could probably stay there if you were local or if you could speak some Chinese. Not sure if they were gards or policemen, but they probably kicked you out cause if you get hurt not being able to speak Chinese, you'll be really fucked up.

frustration...

Biggest letdown in the world... 😔

14:53 I did not expect that you love Russian music

The questions i have, why build it and not maintain it? and more importantly why employ minimum 5 security guards to stop people using it? something seems waaay off...

Lmao the dude keep insisting you speak Chinese when he caught u around the end of the vid

what a bummer. not only is the park empty but it's also closed and you can't skate (makes sense, since it's closed) but why close it in the first place? :D maybe google bought the park. everything they touch, goes to waste

I speak Cantonese and Mandarine. I can't make out what those security guards are saying. Instead of letting the place rot, it should be open to the public for recreational purpose.

that skatepark looked dilapitated and rundown!

That’s so upsetting

Mr. Skater not polite at all…
