The Germans command of the English language is as amazing as anything else in this video. I have a strong respect for any culture that emphasizes the value of learning a language. Americans should speak Spanish the way Germans speak English.

The pronunciation of the people in this video is definitely above average. I'd say that most germans are able to communicate well in english but usually not with this pronunciation. ^^

I´m a bit disappointed that they didn´t visit Münster. It´s like the home of skateboarding. They should have visited Titus Dittmann, the founder of Titus skateboards.

Dortmund Skatelife he is a smart shopowner who was willing to get close enough to the scene to know what they needed. Sure, buying at an independent store is way better, if ur city has one. But what is wrong about selling decent quality skatestuff through magazines (back then) and internet (today)? He never really pretended being a active skater.

wtf? they done a video about skateboarding in germany bit didnt tell that titus dittmann brought it to europe?

afro man fucking rips

Great interview with Claus. Such a great guy and I've always loved his style. I've watched a few of this Skate World docs and this one appeal to me the most.

i love all vice videos. u always get a complete information.

this series is awesome please keep making more

I live in Santa Cruz and watching this made me want to visit Germany! That little snake run (derby park) they were skating is still there and is one of my favorite spots. Awesome to see how skating brings the world together.

Nothing about Kulturforum, the museum spot, the heitmann gap, the polish-german monument - all landmark spots of the Berlin skate scene. Instead you've got some old dude talking about vert ramps. Fuck that, it seems they've left out the entire street scene in Berlin, to speak nothing of leaving out Cologne, Stuttgart etc.

Thanks for the upload! Claus Grabke the Münster-Monster, I'll never forget his & Jeff Hedge's part in the Santa Cruz Vid "Streets on Fire". I watched it over and over again back in da days. Damn ... good old memories!!! Grts from Munich (Oktoberfest-City =] ) to all true, friendly & nice Skaters outta there!!!.

really wicked skate vid. some little gems of old skool vids too!

I love these skate world videos

great piece! Thanks O'dell

I am so amazed. The germans are speaking english so well :O

Awesome documentary!!! Love Germany!!!

My favorite series on vice.

Super rad series..

Awesome vid guys. I've been fascinated by Germany for years and have always wondered what the skate scene would be like. After reading Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-five I've wanted to visit Dresden. Skating around there would be really surreal.

Make one in the netherlands

These dudes seem soo chill.

Chris Pfanner needs to be in Skateworld: Austria, since he is austrian. Make Skateworld: Austria happen. We also have little Shops, DIY-Crews and selfmade Brands. Please, VICE.

That cement, homemade mini spot is my fav.. And, Claus Grabke.

good doc, thanks for uploading vice

That wobble spot reminds me of Philly's FDR skatepark. Or Burnside in Portland. Man, some good memories skating in the 90's comeback every time I watch skate videos.

Gotta love the vintage Claud Grabke footage from Santa Cruz "Streets On Fire" video!

I would definitely skate there! Mixing the old world into skating is sweet

Greetings from Germany and thank you very much VICE for featuring us in one of your videos :)

To see pfanner being credited as amateur skater in this video, and knowing what he is doing today is a real inspiration!

Oh, man! Currywurst mit Brötchen! Making me miss Germany, and all the awesome food (not to leave out the country, and how much I loved living there.) Even finding brötchen is near impossible, let alone a good currywurst.

Great piece on Claus Grabke

For those who are wondering: The song starting at 12:40 is "Eight Dayz - What's so strange about me"

Funny to have Chris Pfanner described as an amateur skater few years down the road he is a pro signed for Vans and AntiHero

Danke für die beiden Video´s! Ich hatte zwar schon vorher ähnliche Gedanken wie da beschrieben, aber das die Lage schon so weit verstrickt ist ...... Jetzt zu sagen das ich davon nichts mitbekommen habe ist wirklich schwer und Unglaubwürdig. Ich denke ich werde mich noch ein wenig mehr in die Materie einarbeiten müssen aber bis jetzt haben die Video´s meine Meinung doch schon sehr stark geprägt. Aber vielleicht sollten wir mal wieder zurück auf das Video hier kommen, ist nämlich ne schöne Doku.

I loved the 3 years I lived in Germany, such a beautiful country.

did u speak german (assuming u did but wanted to ask)

Gonna have that Eight Dayz track stuck in my head for a week. Grabke wrote a earworm for sure.

VICE, bravo on this series for showing skating is not some mundane activity in which it's participants can be falsely stereotyped, but a very interesting sub-culture and community. Plus, it's rad as fuck and heaps of fun. Once a skater, always a skater.

That guy with the afro has a sick style and those spots they were skating were incredible.

Titus should be more focused in the video tho he acctualy builded up skating in germany tho.

"Oh yeah, skateboarding, there you go." best quote of this!

The little part Claus Grabke said about skating and how its international to want to be on your skateboard. So fucking true. You feel it, if you heard a board in the street, you look and just wish you were on that board. Its in your blood once you fall in love with skating, you cant stop.

Sick street spots in Hamburg!

Skateworld Iceland.. seriously it's hard to believe but we have a huge skate culture here

It also says "heads across the Bavarian Alps" not "near the Bavarian Alps". Well done.

these spots are the best

Wie geil ! Endlich ma detusche Skater, danke Vice.

The TRAP art at the end is fucking incredible! I would be stoked if I had one :D Great Documentary

damn good episode

these guys are rippin

Thanks dude!

Yes, it's one of my favorite games. I throw playboy magazines around at the moment btw.

I'm kinda pissed that they do half the thing with some washed up ex proskater, leaving out cologne and stuttgart which both are cities with really big skate scenes and tons of spots..

This point of view is dumb, he explained so much history and you wanted to hear about two cities you already know about? Like, if their scenes are great, take a trip. It's your problem for you to figure it out, lol. Besides, claus grabke is cool, and sounds like a nice as fuck guy in the video. His old band was cool too. Very unique punk rock band featured in skate videos, too. Thats how I found this vid out of curiosity. I was happy to see the man behind the music I enjoyed for years. Also, his name is probably worth more than yours when it comes to skating and the history.

Pls make a snowboarding documentary!!!

waited so long for this! HAMBURG MEINE PERLE!!!!

Bavarian Alps? Go to Berlin or cologne dopest skate sports ever :)
