VIDEO: Hopatcong's Skate Park at its Best
In 30-second clip, a teen shows just why the Brant Park ramps were built.
Bring up Hopatcong's skate ramps at and often you'll hear lots of griping—vandalism, children without helmets, fights, trash.
But it isn't all bad, and there's a video to prove it.
Earlier this month, YouTube user NjFiends posted this 36-second clip of their friend performing tricks at the park. The rider, who's wearing a helmet, starts with a grind and then kickflips down a ramp. (At least we think that's what he did.) Then he comes back for another grind, followed by another kickflip.
