I remember being like 13 going to the skatepark and hanging out the older skaters they all smoked weed drank listened to music did crazy tricks and edits had fights it was fucking amazing, I thought I was so cool until they all finished school and never saw them again then realised I was the older kids now and I was chilling and drinking and doing crazy tricks and making edits. Miss those days man

even the dog sounds like its from the uk

Ya know... Ya know... Ya know...

The 90's were the best decade for skating.

Documentary summed up: Yeah we used to skate there one time.

Skateboarding is the symbol of freedom.

i lived in Bristol whilst at uni, and that place is just the best for street skating, like you can just walk randomly around and you'll come across spots you recognise from videos and magazines, rails, stairs, ledges, banks the lot. coming from a small town with maybe 10 skaters in total, the first time i went to big Lloyds one evening just blew my mind. so many skaters, and the average level of tricks was so much higher than i'd ever seen before.

Southbank is like the love park of the uk

I remember begging my dad to take me to Brixton skatepark and south bank when i was like 7. God this brings back some memories. Thanks for making this.

I skated south bank, shell and the Yellow bricks in the 90’s as a small yout. Huge part of my life at the time and loving memories still now. We used to go down watch Winston, Alex and Curtis amongst others killing it, huge and technical tricks, real inspirations to me and my crew. I get the unpopular thing, when your school mates would they see you on your board dressed in baggy ankle swingers, never got street cred for that but I didn’t give a shite. In the end one by one everyone stopped skating and I was the only one left, used to still hit the bank on my own but wasn’t quite the same buzz. It’s funny how skateboarding is seen as so cool now, I always see skaters everywhere all over london, great to see the movements going strong. I visited south bank just before lockdown with my young daughter, she loved it, still have my board and still take it out now and then outside the house to pop a few easy tricks. Promised her I would take her back down there to show her Dads still cool, even at 45. So if you see an 8yo girl with a hipster nursing a serious head injury, that will be me 😁

I’m here in lockdown watching old skate vids 😂

Bristol people be like: you know

His voice didn't change once after 20 years...

awesome!! my small mind had no idea y'all shredded so hard in england. big props from the states!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude u just brought up so many memories, I used to live in London for 7 years and all these spots r awesome

Used to love skateboarding. Getting back into it again, but too many kids in the UK like scooters. I'd look like a tart skating with them.

crazy to see how far ben has gone with his skating career

drink every time you hear ya know

No Danny, i don't know

Wow what a great scene... almost reminiscent of my skateboarding love story with Love Park in Philadelphia in the 90s and early 2000’s

Man, I used to skate Loyds and college green 20 years ago, I remember when Loyds bank ledges were built!

Parks near me are just full of druggies and drug dealers and there's usually only one guy skating and he usually stoned! Edit: Revisiting this comment 5 years on and I’m not much into skating these days but I can defo appreciate the stoners! 😆 14 year old me just wasn’t quite ready for all that yet. Smoke tf up and thanks for the likes!

So many faces and places on here that bring back memories :D Keep it wheel!

Skateboarder symbolize openess toward world. When I see fellow skateboarders on a street, I roll by and say: "Hello there friends!", and they usually have the most warm responses. Feels like we know each other for so long and I continue my way with a smile. peace ✌🏼

Moving to Bristol in less than two weeks. So hyped!

This documentary is very nostalgic and important to the youth of this time, it’s really nice to see what life what like 10 years ago or so when skating was so Alive. I wish the times of now were like this

Why is Paul Alexander not mentioned in this. He was a local Bristol skater..

Great, keep up the good work vice.

What about tom penny? How do you look at skateboarding in England during the 90"s without talking to/about Tom Penny?

That black guys hair cut was awesome

I freaking love this video!!!!!

0:54 YES! that is so true! we had this indoor skatepark on the seafront in my town, it was great for skaters. ugly building but great indoors. it’s been an empty building for quite a while now :\

"you know"

I'd love if someone counted how many "You know" have been said in this video.

I remember back when I used to skate these spots with my boys everyday and get blazed; Good times.

brings back great memories i remember skating south bank on my reaction board :)

He said for young people what about us older Skateboarders I'm a 46 year old Street Skateboarder Skateboarding is for all ages if your just starting Skateboarding or getting back into it age doesn't matter it's all about having fun!!!! :-) The latest update on Southbank hasn't it been saved it's not going to be knocked down?!!!! :-)

"I don't know if you remember 411" that's something that anyone who was skating in 1990-2005 won't ever forget... I'm from dc and I've always wanted to be in a 411 video...

I used to walk past that place when going back to my dorm years ago and never realized what a skating treasure-trove it was.

this is pretty cool doc!

i love how the last word on this vid is ''you know?'' so uk!

winston witter, name sounds like he should be on eastenders

brings back first hand memories of great days...

About time!

Wales next?

Danny Wainwright... you know

I used to skate southbank and harrow in the late 80s great memories! my fave place was the secret pool in Neasdon

Hey Vice, you guys gonna do a Skate World: US ? Film on the West Coast (Vans Skatepark, Etnies Skatepark, etc) Love this series!

We know, Danny! We know!

Manchester suburbs needs better skate parks

we did all know each other , hence I know more than half the people in this and we live many miles apart , awesome times and small wheels

ive lived in London for many years and almost everywhere they went i recognized.

God I wish I had learnt to skate

Skate world Australia!

I never knew Somerset and the South West had such a big skate culture, and I'm from there. There's a little clip of a guy jumping over a rail outside my old college in Street, man that was really crazy. Thanks Vice, this was ace.

Respect to all skaters...... one of the healthiest forms of self expression...... keep er lit guys....

i hate scooters as much as the next guy but that kid at the end could rip lol

these guy seem really cool

Kids are so lucky now. I remember in the '90s in Britain we had to travel miles to a skate park and we lived in a major city 'Leeds ' the closest was a door park at Wakefield called ' rehab' about 10 miles away and it cost. Now in England, there are 1000's outdoor/outdoor free parks which we never had as kids. All we did was skate and had to build ramps if we wanted to learn transitions.

This is awesome!

I wish I could skate but I'm shit at it. And because I'm shit at it I never go to the skate park to get better because I have anxiety and I'm scared people will judge me and shit.

Danny Wainwright you know..

Keep doing this series pls

i got hyped when i saw the es shoes on the rack at that skateshop but i forgot this was 2010.

No fair In england UK bradford THE FLOOR EVERY WHERE IS EITHER FULL OF PITS....OR ROCKY ROUGH GROUND!!!

I would love to start in london but i'm too scared as I lack in any skill xD

Awesome, sweet spots in this vid.

I've skated with Winstan years ago down there 😂 good guy he is

Is Bristol's favourite saying ' you know' ?

STOP SAYING 'YOU KNOW' ahh

I had that Emmanuel Guzman board around the 15:45 mark. Such a sick graphic, but it started to crack all down the side, which eventually led to it getting snapped.

love the video guy!!!!!!!

Fucking hell Danny says 'you know' like 300 times

Ah like everything in the past generation, its original meaning was lost when it became mainstream (and profitable).

God I've been waiting for this..

Dope vid. Will be checking those spots soon as I get me ass over there from NZ. Everyday is Sunday Brother!

Skate World: Scotland?

do Canada next

the southark (sorry about misspelling) skate park on the Thames is crazy nice and i dont even live in london i just went during the summer

I was there the day solid surf in Harrow opened .It was epic the performance bowl had three feet of vert ..Tony Alva was there for a demo in the early days .i watched shogo kubo in the half pipe it was epic literally ripped the concrete of the lip 😀

I dunno.....

It's shit now, everyone just rides scooters and there is no one good around where i'm from.

I'm from in betwen Bristol and Bath and now Ben is ultra pro, crazy as I remember seeing him skate back in Bath only a few years ago.

I went to Southbank to skate ( I'm a really bad skater so I wanted to try watch and learn ) I freaked out there was so many good skaters it was scary

I want to skateboard but im scared i wont get acecpted by the skaters

Very good video :) I love skateboarding myself but what really annoys me are them bloody BMX and Scooter users because they always get in the bloody way and its hard not to push the fucker out of the way..... It says "Skatepark" not BMX park or Scooter park :/

I liked everything about this!

I've been to that skate shop at the start. I was there yesterday.

Any Skaters from Manchester or Liverpool? Reply to this!

Does anyone here skate in Folkstene?

Winston,good skater and a good bloke.

winston is a true legend of UK skating,but there are so many,

i never knew Lennox Lewis was a skater

The intro is wrong, cause England doesn't belong to europe anymore haha

this is quality, i love london

Thats where i skate yay! i knew one day vice is gonna show that place

For me its just amazing to skate london I dont live there though, a small town called bedfordshire not to far away, well its shit to skate where I live theres nothing to skate there, I go to skate london atleast once a month on the weekend its just so cool to see all these amazing skaters there

there was a skate park in Gillingham in Kent that I used to go to all the time in the 80`s, I wonder if it still there? I stopped going there when it was taken over by the BMX craze..

I love skating!!!♥

360 flips in '93....skateboarding,i do miss it!!!
