Who's your favourite 2000s skater? And what's your favourite 2000s brand?

This is THE BEST ERA in skateboarding and idk how I got so lucky but I got to grow up and get into skating along side ALL OF THIS! Born in 1989. I got a full page picture in my senior HS yearbook of me jumping to flat off the top of the super wedge. At night, under the bridge. Was wearing a pair of white Koston 3 shoes. That's one really good memory from that era

Awesome video🔥also worth mentioning: - Baker 3 was a massive hit, skating and hijinx (maybe Baker's peak) - Zero and Chris Cole were insane (Getting SOTY twice in this decade) - Burton acquiring Alien Workshop and Habitat, also having Gravis and Analog under it's umbrella

I’m 37 and I started skating in 99. Those videos made me want to do better.

This is when I started skating. Was decked out in Emerica, Krew, Altamont, and Baker. Had This is Skateboarding on repeat everyday. I wanted to be Reynolds so bad lol

Fully flared defined my high school years. Came out when I was in 10th grade and I still watch my original copy

I started skating in 1998 and skated until the late 2000s. That was a special time for skating, music, filming, and skate culture.

Circa was my brand for sure. The Mark Appleyard MA402 was really goated. They still use that outsole

I started skating when I was 11 in 2005, what a year to start skating, I was so lucky. My favourite memory was all the locals crammed into the skate shop to watch Fully Flared and the night time session after.

2008 financial crisis was poetic in the changing of decades. It was the end of the glory days of 2000s skateboarding, making great brands file for section 8 and disappearing, and having the stage set for the 2010s. This decade was arguably the greatest time in skateboarding!

The circa Adrian Lopez al 50 is one of my favorite shoes

Summer of 03 was when I REALLY got super into skating. My first actual skate shoes were some Adio Wrays and my first board was a custom pink BlackLabel deck with some Grind Kings and shitty ass clear grip tape lol. Me and my buddy Juan would get our moms to drop us off uptown every Wednesday during that summer break. From like 8 in the morning till sometimes after dark, we’d be at it hard! Juan, I miss you bro

Shorty's Guilty also came out in 2001. Me and my homies were huge fans of the brand.

I liked the es Koston 3 shoe a lot as I was a little kid and start skating. Greetings from Lower Bavaria. ✌️

I still rock Vans. Wearing them since the early 80’s

Another awesome video from my dudes at Shredz

This is my era of skateboarding. Thanks Levi 🙏

Born in 89 and got to enjoy this shit growing up, Yeah Right, Fully Flared and Skate More were on repeat before every sesh, what a time 🙌🙌

I Started skating 2008! Never give up!!

Thanks. I'm loving this series!

started skating in 98 so this is right up my alley ✊

Gravettes part in Born Dead, and Adelmo Jr. in Organikas Concrete Jungle gotta be my favorite skaters and video parts that introduced me to them. the Anti-Hero “hows my skating? Dial 1-800-EAT-SHIT!” board is a certified 2010s classic.

Stopped skating in 2000ish and now getting back into it, it’s a trip to think I missed this whole era.

The best skateboard decade ever for street skateboarding and crazy pro skateboarders. Soon after that, the patent for popsicle-shaped deck expired and many other brands jumped in, with mainstream shoe brands to put skateboarding in skateparks. Discovered lots of amazing music through these videos, new ones are mostly garbage. I really loved Organika boards, skated 7.75 couldn't brake my Destructo D1 for years, enjoyed Osiris Daze and eS accels. Worked in skate shop, hated to sell DCs to others because their soles were horrible. My favorite pros at that time were Rodney Mullen, Chris Haslam, Mark Appleyard and Marc Johnson but favorite teams were Baker and eS. Rodney Mullen and eS are still my favourites.

Amazing Video as always , This was sooo nostalgic for me ❤🤘🏻🛹🇿🇦

Man, those were the golden days ❤ Thanks for this 👍🏻

back after 20 years this was specifically made for me.

Almost Round Three changed my life man. Still watch it at least once a year.

this was very well done. Thanks

Thank you for your work.

Bro seeing Kechaud pop up really just brought a tear to my eye R.I.P to a local legend

THINK was my favorite board brand in the early 2000s. Also loved rooting through the new ccs catalog when they came in. Wish I would've kept all my skate magazines from back then!

Great video as always

I was there! I lived it! The golden age of skateboarding! I was the only one in Scotland at the time to have a G-Bag, had to get it imported as soon as it was released. Ah the good old days ❤️

These videos bring back some epic memories in skateboarding keep em coming

2 boards that stood out for me - DNA and Rasa-libre.

This video was pure nostalgia for me. I was born in 92 and started skating in 2003. Best era of skateboarding and I’m so thankful to have live through it ! So many core memories

I still have Yeah Right! on my shelf. It is essential viewing for all skaters.

The best time for skateboarding.

RIP Rowley's V1

Great vid !

Favorite Skater in that Era.... had to be "The Boss" but id say Jaime Thomas would be a close second. Or in an Alternate Universe would go Koston, Daewon

The topic 🔥

Love these

Elementary school days (2001-2007) was all about X Games, THPS, Viva la Bam, Rob and Big, and the pre-fab park down the street.

Take me back to the old days, so many memories watching this video

I'm still wearing a full zip sample Krew hoodie with Skull/floral print

90s all us old people, amazing. I skated semi pro between 92 and 95 best time to be alive :) Great vid as always

00s was the time of all the bulky Vans Cab shoes. My first skate shoe was the Cab 6.

Circa it's time was one heck of a video. Mystery was one amazing company as well

It's wild how big skateboarding was in the early 2000's yet getting skateparks and cities onboard to build a skatepark was such and uphill battle. Today skateboarding isn't as popular but it's far easier to get parks accepted and built.

Baker 2G MUST be in the conversation if you are going to talk about the 2000’s! Huge Greco fan here & I highly suggest that the Baker crew be represented in the part 2 of this series! I did see the title of this was an overview so I’m not going throw any grief your way (yet) 🧐🤨

Aesthetics’s and alphanumeric were dope!

Skate Maps and The Captain & Casey Show on Fuel TV were iconic skateboarding-focused TV shows in the mid-2000’s. Especially since they were pre-KZfaq.

Congratulations on your achievement for work milestone Honorable mention. 411VM Issue 60 was the 10 year Anniversary Issue in 2003. Along with On Video Skateboarding realeased in Summer 2000 until 2004.

Chris Cole was my favorite skater at this time and so was Zero with my Grind Kings trucks and my Etnis Arto

holy fuck, great video broo!!

I hated the big boatie skate shoes of the early 2000's. I was stoked when skateboarding made a course correction in 05'

Man, being part of the class of 2001, this was perfect. I think the shoes I miss the most are the Vans TNTs. They had some bangers in the 2000s, especially the mids. I feel like this era was the beginning of the marriage between energy drink companies and action sports.

Can't wait the 3000s.

Not surprised to not see it mentioned but Deca’s Sneak Peak video was seminal for me

Awesome vid!! My only "critisism" is that there was no "R.I.P" for Dylan, or anyone else mentioned, whis passed. Just my 2c. Much love from Cape Town!

I’m Still rocking the early 2000s username..

best years of my lifeeeee

My Favorite Dayz

Bobgnarly on KZfaq deserves a mention

I still love Duffs. I still got some stuff.

So that's why I got such a good deal on that used Dodge Neon in 2008 lol saved a ton of money to buy more Matix pants and puffy Lakais

I got my first board in '94. After I tried to buy some classmates board for 20 bucks but had to return it cause their parents were pissed, I asked my mom for a skateboard for my 6th birthday. She took my to the local skate shop (shoutout Sunland Skate Shop in Sunland CA) I picked out a World Industries board with some green metallic sparkle flake trucks who's name I can't recall and a pair of Airwalks. Thinking back it was the absolute ugliest combo I could have gotten. Some random kid tried to teach my how to ollie in the parking lot and I promptly fell on my ass. "Yeah that's gonna happen a lot." and boy was that dude right. I didn't really have any friends who skated until years later when almost overnight in 2001/2002 it seemed like all of my friends were into it. By then I had sold my original setup and put together a new one with an element deck that some kid tried to sand the graphic off in woodshop with some of those Tensors with the orange plastic shield on the baseplate. Bought a pair of Vans Cab 6's. Vision streetwear used to stop by our middle/high school in Eagle Rock and give us free stuff. I'd always get a free deck. What I thought was interesting is how it eventually crept across the country. Every summer I'd visit family in Massachusetts and they were all into BMX until one summer (probably around 2003/2004) everyone was into skating. By then EVERYONE was into skater culture, specifically wearing those massive chunky Osiris shoes with socks stuffed under the tongues to make them extra puffy.

It's another banger!!

Flip all the way for me. What a team. Rowley a GOAT. 'Sorry ' is an all time fave.

My generation I’m 34 so thanks for the video guys

Only wish this video was longer.

I used to think Danny Way and Ken Block, Race in Paradise🏁, were the same person back in the early 2000s. But those were the days I used to think I wouldn’t break a bone too, Buzz Lightyear. Before the booze. Those pools seem huge now, I landed my first heel flip in hella years. I’ll admit I miss street skating the most. That’s how I started. Keep on keep on, good ol’ Joe Dirt 🤙

This is my jam. I remember watching all those videos when they came out. Flip sorry and in bloom still my top two of all time. Alberta sucks but Cochrane park is pretty decent I back lipped that rail

I was on a Rodney Mullen “Cologne for Freestylers” Almost deck in the 00s, and running some DVS shoes that might have been Comanches but I don’t recall the specific model.

Id love to see skateboarding get as big again as it was then

GREAT VIDEO! Would love to see one of these for 2010's and/or in-depth videos for each year (e.g., Overview Of Year 2001, Overview of Year 2002, etc...) ❤🛹🔥

Still have my signed pair of Reynolds 1s from 98.🙌

lol I would sit on the toilet looking at ccs and picking one item per page in my fantasy life 😂

the era I skipped. I only learned to ride switch in the 2010’s. I never prescribed to the big pants and small wheels decade. I am happy to ride wide trucks and riser pads baby. You can keep your football shape or popsicle deck I just need a big Tail and and rails. enjoyment is different for everyone and I still enjoyed my bigger set ups. lucky for me they are easier to get now than they were for me in the 80s. Back then I only had a birthday and Christmas once a year. now I get paid every week L O L keep the videos coming. Love you crazy Canadians. Oops after watching this whole video I realized that I skipped the 90’s and 2010’s. I didn’t quit I just kept on riding the biggest boards I could get.

Hey can yall do a things you did not know about Dark Star skateboards? As my first ever skateboard came from them.

I loved the vans xlt geowff Rowley and Ali boulali I loved ATM skateboards.

It'll be interesting to see what is said in the next decade. I remember being really involved in skateboarding from 2006-2014, and toward the end there was a huge push against Nike and the commercialization of Skateboarding by outside elements. Consolidated even released boards with pretty gnarly anti-nike graphics. A lot of the people I was around were talking about the death of style and how we'd inevitably have skateboarding as a job pathway to follow and not a passion to do. It's interesting seeing how people skate in the Olympics and to see that Woodward has a school now. While it pushes the envelope in one direction, I think it neglects the direction that guys like Ritchie Jackson and Gou Miyagi have historically filled.

Yep vhs tapes and magazines, was a better time because I could focus more on skating

I think people forget how popular audio Kenny Anderson's were

Baker 3 and The Boss! PD: I don’t think youtube destroyed skateboarding, but Instagram did.

My first ever real board was a hand me down from my step brother from the later 2000s and it was a 7.75 flip deck with destructo trucks with probably bones wheels

Soo many more things about the early 2000s you didn't mention when it comes to skateboarding.

Sad to see how many brands have died since then

Great vid for 16:20. Thanx guys 😂

Early 2000’s prime Richard McCrank era

Started in 06’ fully flared was the video I remember waiting for, lakais and Etnies Jameson 2 kr3w pants and girl boards

as soon as I saw Kechaud in the maloof clip….. maaaan.. RIP!!!

Had a pair of circas when I was in 5th grade I remember feeling such a bad ass with those shoes 😎

I like the nike zoom tre ad

1999-2008 to me, is the prime time of Skateboarding.

Lol man I forgot all about CCS coming in the mail

Em 2000s o bicho pegou, tem muita coisa dessa época que até hoje é mítico e nbds.

Saudades dos ténis dessa época 😓🙏🏻💚
