Way back in 2007 Daewon did a demo at evo skatepark in greeneville SC and I was one of a few kids who were skitching on the back of his team's van when they were leaving. He was so impressed that he took off his shirt that he was wearing and threw it out of the van. Needless to say. I still have that shirt to this day, framed and fondly remembered as one of the greatest moments of my teenage life.

I don't care what anyone says, the shit he did on picnic tables was just fucking insane. I loved that shit.

man Daewon is such a cool guy

Daewon has just the most relaxed, smooth style ever. He's so much fun to watch.

Damn, Daewon has an amazing memory for tricks!

I never really got into the world of skateboarding, as I grew up longboarding. That being said, I love skateboarding as a form of expression and self healing. I am now in my late 20's with crippling depression, but the hapiness that Daewon Song brings me is insurmountable. I genuinely smiled the whole time while rewatching this video for the 999th time. It only gets bettter. Thank you for KZfaq, and Daewon. You're a fucking legend!

how the fuck does he remember every trick that happened at every spot, that shit is nuts

Such a cool dude! Talks about other guys the whole time so humble: being the first to show of a hard flip, and says some random guy actually did it. Not many people would say that.

in my mind the picnic table thing never got old, hell, i get excited when i see someone these days skating one. its rare.

That school is so fun to skate, its mellow , daewon first pro i skated with , mad respect for him he kept me in it years later

yeah my brother loves skating..... and his memory for skating is beyond ridiculous

One of my skate buddies in the 90's absolutely idolized Daewon. There was a time where we spent more time dragging picnic tables around, than actually skating.

Daewon has put limitless inspiration out into the universe. Always doing it his own way. Legend.

These picnic table constructions look very fun to skate. I don't understand why people were giving him shit for that.

i wish they made a epicly later'd for lewis marnell :'( he was such a sick skate. S.I.P.

you know when a skater´s OG when he calls a Varial hell a Hellflip Shuv.

I'm still waiting for daewon and rodney to play skate.

daewon song is everything a skate should be. humble, creative, never thinks he's above anyone. great dude and the Mullen of there was no Mullen

"Sorry we couldn't get you the picnic table" lmao

Hell yea I went to Alta Vista elementary and grew up in Redondo Beach. I used to skate Torrance High all time. Stoked to see some pros come out of my hood.

Daewon, I never felt line you ever fell off! I still show new friends the old Rodney VS Daewon videos. Sir, you are and always will be a legend until the end of time! Daewon forever!!!

The picnic table stuff is awesome! I would watch round 2 then go to the church down the street and put a picnic table down the 4 stair and 50 50 the bottom part of the bench. It made me and my friends feel like bad asses even though we kinda sucked. Thank Daewon for the motivation!!!

Those picnic table parts are iconic classics. No apologies necessary. Anyone complaining is lame as fuck and should make their own videos if they think they know what's best for skating.

switch 540 bigflip. But they didn't get that one so I went with the heelflip shuv it

no words to say about daewon. miss them days

It’s so great that he’s finally known for how unbelievably amazing he is, instagram showed the world that Daewon is in a whole league of his own. He is and has been my favorite skater for a long time

Daniel is a proskater and a legend. What a shame for writing amateur skater when introducing him.

Daewon man I haven't heard anything about him in along time he was always his worst critic when he was always spot on with his skating skills, one of the best skaters in my opinion....

I used to love this guy im glad to see he hasnt washed up

We owe it all to these guys!!! Mad respect to Daewon!!

Love child... One of my favorite of all time... Incredibile video... Cheers from 🇮🇹 italy y

I remember watching the Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song video back in the days in complete amazement of their skill level.

Daewon is sick!

I'd be super proud of the picnic benches, great video.

You can tell Daewon is very humble but also a really talented skater. That's why he is one of my top skaters.

Daewon Song is the nicest person ever. When i spotted him skating in Pasadena years ago, before I could say, "Hi" Daewon gave me the biggest hug and said, "nice to meet you brother."I think we shared a bromance moment lol.

He is a Wizard. :)

the talk Rodney said they had when everyone quit to make girl. Rodney said he figured Daewon would leave too, but he said “Well, I guess it’s just you and me Rod”

I never realised the thing with the picnic tables! Those vids with the picnic tables inspired me so much back then, totally got me back into skating hardcore again!

These are so goood! Can't stop watching!

Are you kidding me, I grew up so amazed at Dae-won skating those tables and how he and Mullen complemented each other.

Is he the first to get not in drugs and alcohol?

favorite skater of all time!

Amazing doco!

Dae won is an amazing person

Daewon, Muska, and Bucky were my favorite skaters back in the day.

I love that they brought up the picnic tables... what a walk down memory lane.

it's crazy growing up WORSHIPPING Daewon in transworld and random photos and not hearing him speak until seeing this. This guy has blown my mind for so long

Daewon is so humble.. instead of talking about himself, he just talks about how awesome everyone else is... Such a chill dude.

" I'll eat a whole cake.. and it drives people nuts,they'll be like "dude, please..no more...' "

Awesome stuff, Daewon is crazy good!

I remember when Rodney vs Daewon first came out. Unbelievable. And then part 2, part 3, ... I never looked at his pic-nic table skating as anything lame in any way. With the kind of style and command he had of his skateboard, and the difficulty of the tricks he did, there was no way my friends or I could think anything negative. On another note, I didn't know Daewon had taken any sort of hiatus from skateboarding before the release of Trilogy. Man, am I glad he picked up that video part in Trilogy. His part seriously made had me stoked on skateboarding. Watching him skate those smallish beige ledges at that one school ... damn, man, I couldn't believe how clean and fast he rode. And Daewon, it seemed to me, was always behind the scenes, possibly someone who less serious skaters had never heard of. But those of us really into skateboarding always knew of his incredible talent. It was just a matter of when he was going to appear again. Thank you, Daewon, for being an inspiration for me and my friends. And thank you to World Industries and all of Daewon's sponsors who truly care about skateboarding, for making it possible for Daewon to make a living off skateboarding and to continue spreading his zeal for this awesome sport!

dude that was the best hardflip ive seen that was gnar looking

mad memories watching this.

Daniel Castillo: Amatuer Skater... wtf? lol

Daewon always blew me away, seeing slides and manuals over gaps was nuts...best shoes ever, Daewon Song DVS.

Daewon/Mullen GOATS

btw i lol'd at alex olson being am back when this was recorded. time flies

The picnic tables were some of my favorite...Daewon is the GOAT

Pure class, RESPECT.

More please!!!

I live off Torrance Blvd. skated at Torrance high a few times. did not know pro skaters skated here!!

LEGEND!

Awesome guy the whole video he talked about everybody else except himself ✊️🤙🏽

Bro I love how koston and guy are on the set of full flared while talking about this. Mad history here.

I remember when i was little backin like 99' I was skating with my brother at my elemntary school and Dae-won came and started skating with us, my brother recognized him from the VHS videos we used to watch. Hes a pretty cool dude. more recently he came into the restaurant my brother worked at and gave him some prototype dvs shoes.

We loved the picnic table skating. Our group of friends all split into either Mullen or Song camps, and there was no admitting that both were good :P

Daewons an awesome skater. Gave me a free deck when I was 12.

I totally agree dude. I'm 16 and when i first skating I skated vert until i got good at it. Then I switched to street and it without a doubt helped me get grinds when i switched over to street.

I respect Song

What a rad humble guy

11:39 “so many random chicks would show up-“ “AND THERE WAS A QUARTER PIPE”

Childhood revisited haha damn hell yeah Bros!!

Daewon is the GOAT!

keep on doing you my brother.

tybg for vice

i have so much respect for that man

I always wondered if he kept his tail truck tighter. I always have my tail tighter, although it can be annoying when you get it turned around for various reasons. But that's cool, I always wondered if it was weird to do that, I never actually asked anyone else for some reason.

Such a dope guy

Daewon = a wise skateboarder!

Need an updated one. He’s still ripping today

woah jeremy wray was so gnarly!

i remember seeing him in the decka video (dont remember the spelling, i was like 5). shit was crazy, but after that i never saw from him again until almost round 3

he's one of the best

I remember I had that DECA bright yellow vhs tape.

Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song Round 2 was the first skate tape I ever saw. Which is kind of weird because I started skating in 1989. I remember thinking, Holy shit you can Ollie on to a table! That's insane!

daewon is so fuckin humble. as a legend and all he talks about is his homeboys.big ups g

Daewon is a Sk8 God !! Like the Ninja of Skateboarding.

Daewon is the man, super down to earth guy seems like. I’m trippin on his trucks though lol, my trucks are pretty loose too but his are beyond lol

I’m so bummed that Rodney Mullen never got his own epically later’d episode. Or Ryan Sheckler, Nyjah or Tony Hawk.

Deawon you are too humble you were a major icon

💖 ya deawon

These shorter epicly laterd episodes are way better than the long ass multiple parts that are coming out.

he's so modest, if you never saw him skate you'd never know hes one of the best in the world

I cant fucking believe he skates his trucks like that! Insane!

Legend

Ha, imagine Daewon just rolls up to your sesh, casual. ...& that's a sick Diamond shirt that Daniel Castillo wears at the first spot.

I dont think Daewon knows how iconic those fucken picnic tables are haha

idk how any1 can hate on the picnic table era. i was astonished as a kid watching that happen

Holy fuck so dope mad props Daniel and Daewon priceless
