Yo that's dope. So many of these guys come from tough places. They're so humble, just happy to take care of the family by skating.

Ain't more true. We're at a stage where everyone is secretly thirsting to understand how other people around the world are having it and it's the best when there's a common context through which relate, here it being skateboarding.

This was fucking beautiful.

I just wanted to skate idk what to do with the money. Wow so humble what a solid dude.

Probably the coolest skater you’ve gotten to meet, dude is so humble and cares so much for those around him

What a beautiful video, he is one of the greatest in my opinion. I met Madars like 5 years ago when he came to Argentina ,we had a session together in a park and he was so nice to me and my friends! He knew a lilttle bit of spanish because he told me he lived in Spain a couple of years. I'll never forget that day!

I gotta say I teared up a little towards the end. Such a good one Madars and Jenkem! ❤

What a beautiful family

This reminds me of Vice before they became terrible. Really great work and I learned a lot about Madars, gave me a lot of respect for the guy.

How could you not love both Madars and Jenkem? And these credits have early 2000s full length credit vibes, like This Is Skateboarding Tracy Kid Loco vibes, nostalgia, love for skateboarding, fun and good music

He’s a likeable, humble guy. His series reminds me of Anthony Bourdain’s show in some ways. Very glad to see his head is with his family and Country. A great role model for todays kids.

Jenkem. Always doing it right. I love the way Ian approaches everything he does with a combination of curiosity, humor, respect, and a genuine love for our thing--skateboarding.

Beautiful work. Greetings from Lithuania to our Baltic brothers! Hope Jenkem will find a reason to come visit us one day

This is really something else. Truly filling the gap with this type of content. The editing, storyline, music... Amazing work JENKEM. Love from Paris

MADARS APSE IS A RADIANT SOUL, AN INSPIRATION THANKUU JENKEM FOR THIS VIDEO

Man he’s such a one of a kind type guy. Love to see it, salt of the earth

That kid taking photos for Ukraine with that converted camera set up was awesome. 💙💛

Amazing piece. Thank you Madars, Ian, Josh, Jenkem.

Best skateboarder to ever do it, love Madars!

Best dude, great ambassador. His handstand stunts never get old.

I went to Riga last year and it was amazing, would highly recommend! Great people, great skating

This was a piece of art, history and just a humble motivational video.

Thank you jenkem Thank you Madars, your positivity and sincere love for your family, people, and skateboarding really shines as a bright light that stays with us all and inspires us all to be better people and better skaterboarders. 🙏 I think your 14 year old self would look up to you and be proud of what you’ve done for skateboarding in your life and home country

Sending prayers to the families in Latvia and surrounding countries. That there will remain peace and prosperity. Much love to Madars and his family. ❤

Thank you Ian for the great content. Greetings from Germany!

absolutely loved this. great subject, great appreciation for latvia, and great story. the skating is just the reason for the video

thanks Madars, Ian, Jenkem, you guys never fail to inspire our media, Shoutout from Indonesia

If you keep up with these kinds of videos, Jenkem is going to go way beyond a skateboarding audience.

How can anyone not like madars!! so kind so humble

Last clip was bonkers! I really liked this piece

For a country of less than two million inhabitants to have produced both a skateboarder and a blader of the year speaks volume about the kind of scene it offers. And for a small town like Ventspils, to host what was once one of the biggest action sports event in Europe, also says a lot. Latvian people shine through not only talent and creativity, but also great humility. Madars is a great example and positive influence, thanks for taking the time to check in with him and visit the Baltics! Now that you've been, you might not be surprised to hear that Latvia is the kind of place you end up going back to, indeed.

Again, quality journalism.

wow what a pleasant surprise seeing jenkem come to Latvia! thank you guys ! great video!

This piece is one of the reasons I love Jenkemso much

absolutely amazing and Madras is a top bloke

Ian Michna and Madars are both massive blessings to this industry

Enjoyed that very much thank you

This was such a perfect doc. Thank you Jenkem!!

jenkem: on point content as always! thanks guys

Madars is the best, and it’s cool that he basically got to be a Skate Tales subject in this video!

Great portrait piece. Thank you Jemkem!

Good piece. Madars is dope

So good. Love this

very interesting video, enjoy it immensely

Yo big ups to all y'all - that intro was how it should be done - DAYUM this whole piece is frickin banging

A really fascinating story, excellent work Madars & Jenkem thank you for this wholesome content.

Madars Apse is what every skater should strive to be and accomplish. Travel the world, see different cultures, help grow skateboarding as a whole and yes make sponsors happy why because they are the ones who let you skate for a living! I hope they continue the red bull skate tales with him for as long as they can! Madars Apse you're a real one! much love from canada!

Beautiful video. Thank you Jenkem

One of the best on and off the board.😊

This video is glorious. As a skater studying nationalism within the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and the patriated Russian State post Cold War this is so fascinating

You guys make the best skate content. Cheers.

Thanks for putting this together.

This is a masterpiece in profiles. Very informative and touching. What a real dude. That’s soul right there

absolutely fascinating story and beautiful people. big ups Jenkem!

What a great watch. Top job Jenkem. All the best Madars.

Latvia is such an interesting place, I feel like the world really should know more of its history. It’s got SO much history, medieval, pre/post Industrial Revolution, Soviet, post soviet

good stuff !!

Great to see Latvia!

great episode, greater dude!

Hell yeah, this was awesome

This vid is amazing… Love this guy, he really does bring happiness to all of the people… Do this series for every country!! Every Baltic country as well (: Estonia is waiting for you!!!
