While I appreciate this, I feel like it is something you guys should really do in collaboration. Some of the places you've mentioned, such as black hubba in nyc, have been covered in a similar way by Jenkem. I see enough difference in your video in order to merit its presence as an outsider's journalism on skating. However I think only hitting up Tony Hawk and footage isn't enough to maintain this as thorough journalism, instead it begins to feel like co-opting of a subcilture. Again, I am a fan of this video, which is why I don't want you guys to think you've got the form down, I think a healthy amount of critique is necessary to polish down the pieces in this series.

The history's really interesting! The new wheels had a lot to do with the resurgence, but there was the California drought as well, which to save water, the government encouraged people to not fill up their pools. Because there were so many empty pools, people discovered that the emptied pools with rounded edges were perfect for skateboarding! California had surfing culture as well!

One thing most non skaters don’t realize is how skateboarding changes the way you look at the world. The world becomes your canvas and the board your brush, every small obstacle your inspiration. I love skateboarding! There are very few things in life as pure and satisfying as the feeling of landing a trick you have been trying for hours, days or weeks (in the case of some tricks, years).

Hope to see another part for this. So much more to cover such as spots like love park and other plazas that have changed the culture

Great video. Idk how you don’t mention love park when making a video about influential skate spots though. Love park was the east coast embarcadero and inspired a generation of the often overlooked east coast skaters. If you want to talk about public space It is arguably one of the most important plazas in skateboarding and it now has basically been destroyed/skate stopped to the point where it has completely lost its heart and soul.

My teen years were spent skating and watching skate videos with punk music playing. Good times lol

3 weeks ago I started skating again after watching this video. It's been 10 years (haven't skated since I was 16), but I'm starting to feel comfortable again doing some basic stuff like dropping off quarters, ollies and pop shuvits. Thanks for the awesome inspiring video.
