Skate World: Sweden
Ойын-сауық
Our first episode of Skate World: Sweden finds us in Malmo, where the ever motivated Pontus Alv and friends show the true meaning of DIY spirit. From their beginnings at the now defunct Savanna Side to the straight rawness of the Train Banks Spot the Malmo skaters take matters into there own hands when it comes to street spots.

Yeah, finger skating is more dangerous that's why we don't wear it during normal skating

You have an playlist called ”favoriter” witch are Swedish for favorits. Explain that!
I'm moving to Sweden. Pontus and the dude who obviously is an awesome dad are rad as hell.
Best idea for a show in a very long time, i hope you guys can show the rest of the world too, can't wait to see more.
there should be a whole skate scene on texas. no one skates here and everyone sees skaters as targets for voilence and discrimination, if california is skate heaven then texas is skate hell. ive experienced more hate for riding a piece of wood than ive ever experienced in my life.

i remember watching this video over and over and it inspired me to skate and make my own skate spot
What an a amazing person, really look up to pontus he seems a really humble dude
Such a good documentary. I love when Vice does skateboarding!
Best documentary yet. I'm so hyped to go skate.
Jag bor i SBG, är 13 år och åker skateboard alla dar i veckan. Jag älskar Skateboard!!!!!
Amazing to see skate dudes keeping it alive even in such no-go situations, especially the girl, only girl around there skating and staying motivated, bless you honey, you really made an example outta evryone. One love.
A great video that really captures the DIY aspect of swedish skating. I skated with some of these guys when they were up here in Skellefteå and they still rip hard.
Dang...Sweden is rad. Gonna have to take a journey someday.

As a Swede, it find it chilling to read this comment. It used to be a great place. Nowadays it's simply a gangster's paradise with daily gang shootings in most of the bigger cities.
This is just what skateboarding should be like, Friends hanging out and having a good time. If only things we're still like this, Good thing we have people like these.
I DIDNT SEE A SINGLE SCOOTER AT THOSE PARKS OH GOD THIS IS GLORIOUS
this is insane!!! swedish skateboarders are soo underrated. amazing style, good trick selection, skates fast, how much more can you rip??! TWO THUMBS UP :)
as i like to say and share with folks in other similar vids / groups, i absolutely love seeing this ! and like the game of chess; which is called the great equalizer. no matter who you are, what language you speak, what color you are, what economic background you come from, chess is chess and anyone can play against anyone. same goes for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, they are also great equalizers, it is universal, no matter if you from Canada, Kenya, Australia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Russia, japan, that all love to skate and are doing the same things, as well as creating new tricks. enjoying it, having the same passion and love, no matter who they are or where they are. skating and skate-parks are universal.
I really enjoy the fact, that you put "What's so Strange about me?" By Claus Grabke's Band at the beginning!
Wow it's so good to see a DIY scene alive and well. I know of one homemade skate park in my town built around an abandoned building. the council came and put a bigger fence up once they found out
Awesome episode, thanks!
Nice one Vice, i love to live hear! Did not get the feeling for skating but BMX and dirt/downhill is my thing and im glad i can go allmost ever were and ride with out think about getting chased away!
AWESOME!!!! Really love it!
wow, that was really amazing
Please please please keep this series going.
Very good film Vice.
Best Vice : skate so far!
Vice documentary are damn good!
Hey Vice, thank you for those great Skateboardingdocumetarys !
Jo, många vill det. Det är ju gråa och trista Sveriges motsats. Mycket mera öppet och trevligt.
this is awesome!
"If you have an idea, do it. Do it now." 04:48 Words to live by!
21:22, I'm in the background of that clip, it's from about 7 years ago, the park is gone now but it was basically the place i learned to skate, damn i miss that place.
Nice doc, very interesting.
theyre so gnarly
"the atmosphere around the spot is as important as the spot itself" This. This x10.
Cool vid! Saw my old elementay school in a breif shoot there ^^
pontus alv is amazing!
Great video!
Best video Vice have put out in a while.. Getting yelled at for NOT skating, ha!!
I don't know much about skateboarding in Europe so this is dope :). Thanks.
Turns out that watching skating is quite enjoyable when there is no obnoxious music on. Good stuff vice!
brilliant!
Albert Nyberg has a line at the Train bank spot (02:03) in his ''Ten years of happiness'' video. Pretty cool.
vice kicks ass!
looks nice
nice piece of history.
This is why i love skating, because you could go to the most random park and feel accepted.
Yep, might be going there next year. :)
You HAVE to go to Copenhagen and explore the skating scene there!!
aww :,( how i miss skateboarding used to skate back in the day as well late 90s early 2000s just hate how life makes u grow up
greetings from Sweden and keep on skatin :)
awsome video
Malmö have so many good places to skate 😀
Stapelbäddsparken
please keep this series going, this is so sick
This is so close to my home town... and VICE was there... :(
12:25 Young Chuck Norris xD
Wow I think I wanna visit Sweden.
I love pieces like this because it reinstates my belief in humanity, It proves that the ills that many thrust upon people that aren't like them are both conquerable and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Kudos Sweden! Way to put your energy in achieving a common good as opposed to dwelling on the pitfalls that sometimes just occur in life.I'm tired of people fixating on the bad when the good is bitch slapping them in the face!
Man, I love skating
i WISH norway could follow this example.... we got the money... or at least the state!
Yall should come skate Gaste in Lund! Dope skate as well!
excellent
That indoor skatepark is frickin nice
Love looking at skating, but never tried. looks awesome, hell even rappers are skating now !
the perfect skatescene.
Anyone know where you can build your own skate spots?

Like this is awesome and all, but i would be really cool seeing the skate culture in gothemburg too!
Cool, I liked it
I'm getting a board ordered tomorrow i gave up skating when i was 10, Time to get back into it.
So much woods and green in Sweden, im inpressed + there is a lots of handsome and gorgeous gals and pals there XD
Great video
Being from Finland, this is exactly how it was in the 90s. Trilla dope!
25:01 Amazing view. Imagine having an office like that.
Depends, on extended usage it is. Since the countries are so similar.
wow badass spot! I want to come
I love risk takers! It takes courage to challenge the unknown.
you guys have to do a san jose episode! not sf..sf too but specifically sj but be so so sick
Yes, Two of my favourite things! :D
17:10 i love his air time
Please do a documentary on Scottish Skateboarding! And thanks for the Rattray Epicly Later'd!! We need more of that!
Ahhhh i wish i could move back to sweden....
fuck yeah vice, epicly later'd is why I started watching your videos and videos like these are why I continue!
Such Great Hair...
So many spots from Norway ^^
I've skated those spots!!!
Great way to keep fit also :D
Scandinavia is "officially": Denmark, Norway and Sweden. From a cultural aspect it consists of: Denmark, the Faroese Isles, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
What a great dad
i'm surprised they were so close to my own hometown
Proud to be swedish and seeing this :D
wow!
The closest skate park from me is in Umea, thats like four hours from here!
Loved it! Go Sweden(Gå Sverige)! Malmö for the the win! But it's much more fun to skate in small villages!
I'd like to think there's a Skate Scene everywhere. I lived in the Philippines and started skating there, Moved to Singapore and there was a massive skate scene there, Moved to ABU DHABI and DUBAI and there were tons of skaters there, went to Lebanon to snowboard and instead skated an old museum with a 100 kids, Afghanistan has a skate scene as well. You know what's funny I went to the famous cities where skating is supposedly big and all i saw was kids with supreme caps posing with a baker deck
