Because Fun Comes First: Sam & Ryan at the Orem Skate Park

There are days when you go to a skate park to work on technique… and then there are days when you show up simply to cause chaos.
This was definitely the second kind of day when Sam & Ryan visited the Orem Skate Park.

Sam and Ryan rolled into the Orem Skate Park with the Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair ready for anything—except maybe actual skateboarding skill. 🛹
From the first wobbly roll-in to the last triumphant-yet-questionable trick attempt, this session had one guiding principle:

Skill is optional. Enthusiasm is required.


The Art of the Questionable Trick

Let’s be clear: no one here is auditioning for the X Games.
But what we lack in technical precision, we make up for in:

  • ✅ Unnecessary confidence
  • ✅ Excessive energy
  • ✅ An almost heroic commitment to terrible ideas

Ryan attempts an ollie that technically counted (we think).
Sam tries a move that definitely wasn’t in the skateboarding manual—but it did get applause from someone’s dog.

Comedy Over Clean Landings

If you’re expecting slow-motion trick montages, just lower those expectations right now.
This is raw, unfiltered skate park shenanigans, complete with:

  • Fails, falls, and accidental wins
  • Roasting each other on the fly
  • Strangers wondering if a camera crew is coming next
  • Random commentary that may or may not make sense

This isn’t about being good.
It’s about being ridiculous on purpose and laughing until your ribs hurt.


Because Fun Comes First

It’s easy to take hobbies too seriously.
We’re told to train harder, perfect technique, and chase the next milestone.

But sometimes, life is better when you just show up, go for it, and enjoy the moment—even if you land face-first.

So if you’ve ever gone skating “just for fun” and ended up laughing more than landing,
this one’s for you.

Orem Skate Park

The Orem Skate Park is one of Utah Valley’s most popular local skate spots.
It draws everyone—from beginners on their first push, to experienced skaters practicing bowls and ledges, to families just looking to hang out and enjoy the energy.

Here’s what makes it a standout:

  • Multiple Bowls & Flow Areas
    Great for cruising, carving, and learning transitions.
  • Street Section
    Features rails, ledges, stairs, and manual pads for all your “please don’t film this” trick attempts.
  • Open Layout
    Plenty of space to try something new (or fall dramatically).
  • Community Vibes
    Friendly skaters, teens with headphones, dads reliving glory days, and dogs who think they own the place.

Location

The Orem Skate Park sits next to the SCERA Park and recreation area in Orem, Utah, making it easy to find and a great spot for families and groups.
