Richmond represent! I live a block away from that 2nd spot. Haven't had the courage to try anything on it though..

Silas trick at turtle spot is fuckin psycho if you've ever been there

So sick

I get what you're saying but HOW DARE YOU compare Timmy's to Dunkin.

I'm gonna be honest. At first I didn't get Ben. But after watching this video...he seems like a real cool dude.

what a sick event! not even rain can stop ed & spense lol

Ben is the hero we've always needed

Olympic oval in Richmond! You're skating 5 min from my skate park I grew up skating during the 90s, river rdsk8 park!

This video is worth watching for the tip on cutting the concrete out for the skatelite, holy shit mind-blowing idea!

This is excellent. My first exposure to Ben and the channels … I’ve lived in Vancouver a cpl years recently and will be returning. I have a son in the area. And I skate and do woodworking/metalworking .. I love the city and the whole region. Great to see this , Ben’s work and play ethic .. big positivity here. Love the RDS crew , I often passed by the shop on my cycling around the city. I’ve snowboarded Whistler and spent lots of time in Vancouver for well over 20 yrs and it became my favorite place. So much great skating, beach life, good food, chill people, healthy livin’!

Slap some rapid set on all the stuff you want a lil better edge on. Spray clear coat and apply wax while its still warm and setting up.

Sounds like one of your left turn signals lights is out.

“There’s history in the chunks.” ❤️

I’m a young nurse and have been a skateboarder most of my life. As I’ve reached my young adult years, Ben has been such a huge role model for me. Him balancing family, health, work and his passion for skateboarding is such a huge inspiration for me. I thoroughly enjoy listening to him speak about life and skateboarding. I look at him and see myself in the future. I love this dude and have been watching him since the beginning of his KZfaq career while I was in college/ nursing school!

Hey man I love the video, but can you please drop the locations of the spots? I'm in the Vancouver area and need to find more cool skate spots! Thanks

What shoe is Ben skating when you are at that park with the long ledge?

This awesome!

Love this

what he said about the weather and maintaining skate tricks is so true. When I moved to Van, I skated maybe twice in the first winter, and then over compensated by skating so much in the summer and pushed myself that I got injured all the time.

Learned tres at 34, back smiths at 37, and hardflips at 39. It's never too late to get better.

i like the closing segment, when at the last minute, he gives a heartfelt speech. when nothing else motivates you quite the same anymore...u just gotta get out and roll anyway u can!!

Nice profile. Found this guy recently. Love it!

I’m not 100% sure but touching the new tail light bulb with your fingers can deposit oil on the glass and cause a hot spot on the bulb and can possibly burn out more quickly.

Hell yeah Ben ✊🏾

Love ya Ben, but you’ve got a light out (fast blinker indicates dead bulb)

Bannerot severely underrated

top 3 fav carpenters of all time

This guy is my favorite person on KZfaq. I learn about skating and dry wall skills from him.

Funny, I found Ben's channel last year and started skating again for the first time in 17 years. Broke my ankle almost immediately. Back on now and riding my first goldilocks setup. Thanks Ben!

First vid ever watched and you nailed it. Watching these warm up clips at classic spots rejuvenated me to get back out to me area and have some damn fun

Cool video G

Ben’s description of what skateboarding does for you is the truth. He always says exactly what I’m thinking

best video ever

14:38 oh god, knight st bridge commute ptsd

Ben De God

Vancouver sucks. It takes forever to get across even if there's no traffic.

Lol i was thinking his blinker was out with the double fast clicking

How is the man driving

I feel like this would have been way better if you had a Red Dragons hooded with Red Dragons jeans and some Red Dragons stickers on your board….

The switch nose grind did it for me. I haven't seen Ben do that one.

Set up interviews plz father Ben

Bonus content how to replace a rear lightbulb on a Ford F150!

Just got ten years sobriety yesterday! Also my birthday haha. But yes I do still smoke pot lol. Ben’s an inspiration

one of the many hidden gems in the lower mainland tehe

Ben's got me wanting to skate Venture Lo's for the first time since like 1997 lol

Really love that monologue at the end. Good stuff!

first I heard of you was through Gifted Haters channel and then much later on 9 Club

on the topic on maintaining skateboarding. I started sleeping on the floor with minimal padding, a side benefit is that falling while skating doesn't really hurt anymore. The body adapts to lying on a hard floor. I didn't expect it happening. Don''t really know if it helps, as I am the only one around me who does it. If anyone is eager to try it out, be aware that the first 3-5 days are a bit of a struggle. Gets way easier after that

Not just a skateboarder nor carpenter... He is a father figure and a person of incredible integrity that's becoming so hard to find on KZfaq. He is a person skateboarding industry deserves.

Good production amazing vid
