In this video I’m out in Southern Pines, North Carolina checking out the brand new Elaine T. Baillie Skate Park. I keep it simple: I walk you through the whole layout first so you can see what’s here before we start rolling—lines, flow, and the kind of obstacles that actually make a park fun for more than five minutes. If you’re planning a trip or you’re local and wondering if it’s worth the drive, this tour is basically the “here’s what you’re getting” breakdown. After the tour, I get into a skate session so you can see how the park skates in real time. I’m looking at how the features connect, where the speed is, and what spots feel like they’ll hold up for repeat sessions (not just a one-and-done). If you like park tours with actual skating and not just a slow pan of concrete, this one’s for you—Southern Pines has a solid new option, and I’m stoked to add it to the NC park list.
