If you're in Vancouver go to the suburbs, burnaby, surrey, coquitlam, port moody langley. lots of great spots and not so busy and capped like downtown is

That's what I would do these days..... I don't get it though. There's an absolute tonne of places to skate all through Vancouver that are way better than what he showed in this video. Why no coal harbour double set, PNE big 3, BMO line, Post office sets/rails etc?Lots of wicked places with no caps/security guards in richmond, burnaby, coquitlam....

Dimis _Jay It probably already has a name, but it should be called the "crank flip"
Dude, Vancouver has so much more than this. Wish he showed more spots.

UBC is nice. The ground is smooth but lots of ledges are skatestopped, but they still make great manual pads. There's a few spots going along from downtown towards canada place. Gastown is bumpy and filled with tourists but there's a few spots there as well like the courtyard of Woodwards building. There's not much to skate at the seawall but its a nice chill push around. I do love everything he mentioned in the video, you just have to be creative skating Vancouver, it's more fun than what people say it is!
You really don't see a lot of McCrank footage anymore. I'm glad that he's still alive and well and still having fun skateboarding. Bless you man.
Holy fuck, this dude's STILL doing it?? Red Dragons Never Die! I wonder how many of those pedestrians realized they were in the presence of a legend.

Z Gates I admire the older dude/skateboarder and it's great that he represents SKATE Vancouver. By the way since the majority of active skateboarders at our parks are under 19, it's no wonder I give this video 5 stars. Vancouver, where the clouds rule the skies overhead.... love the city!

I feel like this should be done in every state and even in other places. Promote tourism through skateboarding. Cool video!
you can't ever go wrong skating with this dude. great vibes.
Wow.. I remember seeing Rick in a Transworld magazine for the first time. No internet, no VHS, I just saw a picture and I was blown away. This guy is a legend. I'm glad that besides everything wrong and evil the internet brings some joy in lives of old skaters who can now see people and things they knew ages ago..
The sweetest man to ever step on a board
Damn.. McCrank is sick but Vancouver seems depressing as fuck to skate lol

I really love how they do all of the SKATE videos, i find it really cool how you can see how stylish they are when really they are just skating around, i do wish they would make more SKATE videos though, Rick killed it!
Yes! I live in Vancouver & it's one of the most amazing cities on the planet. I have been wanting RIDE to do a skate Vancouver webisode forever! Thanks soo much!
I love nothing more than seeing new Rick McCrank footage of any sort!
I really love all these local tours. please do more
2014 i just went backpacking through van and it was cool to see some of the spots that i walked through, defs a chill place to cruise.
I honestly like how the evolution of skateboarding is pushing locals to get more creative with their surroundings, all the caps are just added obstacles ;P VANCITY REPRESENT
My favorite guy and episode in the entire SKATE series by Ride
After 3 years away I move back to Vancouver tomorrow and I'm so f*ckin happy about it!

I always enjoyed mccrank's skating and video parts more than any other skater growing up. Good to see this!
1:08 a sad thing we all have done
I love these episode they show u the best spots so when u go there u would know.
i grew up in whistler bc and this guy was my hero. at the skate park he inspired my bennie honna and used to drop me his pro model deck for free on a bad day big ups to cherry bomb and rick I'm older and slower but i can still stomp that trick !!!!!!thx bro
Love skating in BC so peaceful
one of my favourites episodes of SKATE...
Very cool to see our city through these eyes and wheels!
Have so many good memories of street skating van in the 90's

owww, Yeah man ankle brakes are the worst, did that myself about 4 or 5 years ago.how'd you do it? I just didnt expect to be so fuzzy about this broken toe, but man it hurt and still hurts like shit. Its been about 3 months now and still hurts.
Love watching these videos!
this is my favorite series on ride
I'm moving from Ireland to Vancouver in October. This video is dope. So excited now.
That trick he did at 1:38 was just godly
2:15 in, the area ahead of him is where me and my buddy sat there for 4 hours drinking beer watching skaters, good times!!
I’ve had the pleasure of skating this godly individual I truly miss the old days!
Lovin' this channel
One of my favorite skaters, Rick is the best.
finnaly some McCrank footage!
Why does he remind me of Steve Carell when he starred in The 40 Year Old Virgin?
love that steeeezy late front shuv at 2:25... I gotta learn that shit like asap.
so much skating in this one i dig it
Best video ever I had as youtube advertisement :)
Finally McCrank skating, was kind of bummed when pretty sweet came out just for that reason. He one of my all time favorites for sure
Woah that's insane! Ben blundell just chillin with his homie Rick McCrank hahahaha

Rick is and will always be the best.
So come to Vancuver it used to be awesome to skate!
yes finally a new one
Can't wait to move back home to Vancouver next year :)
lol that was my childhood skating all those spots and then one by one they started to go bust. carefree times back in early highschool.
he said winters more mild in Vancouver. its true but last year 6 ft of snow fell for like the first time.
I just got home from Vancouver this morning, lots of stuff had skate stoppers,
Thumbs up if you live in Vancouver.
Finally a new one
Thanks dude, that's good to know. I can't say I know the city at all because I've only been there a couple times but it's interesting to hear it from someone who knows their shit.
Excellent!
Rick is so great.
Sick vid.
McCrank is so cool and chill and good and skating.
I miss Vancity and big ups on the Green Apple shirt. Winnipeg!!!!!
Heck yes, the world can always do with more McCrank footage!
Sick video!
McCrank = Legend
Damn that plaza looks sick! I'm in that area so I'm gonna go some time.🛹
Anything McCrank does is amazing!
Sick. McCrank + Vancouver. Good combo!
1:40 "just gotta check dat ass out"

Hell yeah! I remember that 411vm with Rick! Long time fan! 3:30

Fran Hartley well I wonder why
I love the plaza
@MrCurryLOL both tricks are doing the 360 rotation of the board, but with a big spin you land rolling switch because you move your body 180 like a bs 180, but the board has an extra rotation
Vancouver looks cool, McCrank has great style.
