If you were watching the news or other blogs yesterday then you're already aware that UBC has launched the very first skatepark located on a university campus in all of North America. Metro Vancouver has been known as a sort of mecca for skateparks since the late 90's, with more than 50 free, public parks in the surrounding area, but never on campus, so today (ahem, yesterday) is a pretty momentous day.
I scoured Youtube for clips and found some awesomeness. First, a couple of students talking about the park, with a shirtless dude wearing a red ball cap skating in the background:

I dug a little further and found a video of THE SAME DUDE skating the park in a red hat, with no shirt. I can only assume it was the same day:

Here's 10 seconds of a kid doing two tricks at the park:

Lastly, a clip with a storyline where some dudes go into the bathroom at Victory Square and get teleported to the UBC Skatepark. It shifts over to Quilchena Skatepark at about the 2:30 mark but you still get to see a good two minutes of footage of people skating the UBC park:
