The beginning of a new era in skateboarding, X Games reached out to Transition Productions to produce the first real street skate competition at a legendary skate spot - Philly's City Hall across from Love Park. 2001 marked the transition of video street skaters starting to compete in meaningful events for the first time blurring the lines that have become the norm 20 years later.
Thanks to our friends at Dischord and ESL for creating the soundtrack and thanks to the Philly skate scene and Jamie Reynolds for coming together to do it.

It’s crazy to think how much went into this skate contest and they only showed like 5 minutes of actual skating and not one single complete run. It’s like 80% interviews and B-roll.

I was 13 on 2001. Really loved skateboard at this time, today I like to watch some camps and videos, but it's not part of my life anymore. To be honest, I miss this time more than skateboard.

@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777 Жыл бұрын

@@al_zera 2001 was a nightmare. the Mossad led operation against the World occur'd ( NINE ELEVEN) . .... Skateboarding, my friend was just a distraction..and still is. It's hyperactive in a marketing sense but they all just doing moves from the late 80s now after they threw all that on the floor initially and stomped on it for a Red Bull endorsement . But now they have to mine it for 'influence' of change. All comes full circle. I think we saw the peak of Skateboarding , it's going to crash soon and I'm happy for it as like I said.. just a distraction that's getting the wrong people rich.

This was the best time in history to be a sk8r. Everyone skated. It was huge. This was the zenith of shredding. I skated from about 98 to about 2012. Still go out and roll around from time to time but I'd shatter if I slammed nowadays, haha. It will always be in my blood. There's no greater feeling of freedom.

Back when skaters didn't want to skate to get paid for they just skated because they loved it so much now don't get me wrong getting paid was a big plus but it wasn't about that back then it was more about just shredding with your boy's
