- Captured in summer of 2008, its a unique look at what makes Portland Oregon one of the greatest places on the planet to live and to skate... The monologues in Rip City, for example, though informal and seemingly all over the place are often profound and inspiring. Guys like Donovan Rice, Chet Childress, Ben Krahn, Chris Nukala, Pat Q, and Jay Smay (not all inclusive) deliver on point and down to Earth perspectives that go a long way towards effectively relating to the rest of the world just what it is that makes Portland such a distinct place.
As a Portland native I can tell you that 2008 Portland was already a shadow of its former self, and it’s gone downhill since. Even the Portland from this doc no longer exists. Don’t expect to find it if you visit.
great video!! really takes me back to my years of ripping up PDX from the early 90's to 2007. Red and Dreamland built some killer parks. I miss the old Portland before the yuppie invasion. I realllllly miss Pier Park!!
Poor Portland.
And unfortunately the reality is you got to start thinking about the future I sold drugs and just screwed around till I was 35 years old I tripped out on that every single day to all my friends all had good jobs and we're all excelling in life I was just dicking around.... every time I would think about it I would just get high and forget about it but that day comes where you wish you would have stepped up to the plate a little earlier in life,, I work for doordash and I'm 42 years old still trying to figure it out. I mean so you got to think about the future basically what I'm saying can't ignore it
Rarely does anyone hear about waterfront park in the 90s. Directly across the river from burnside was a brick plaza with ledges, blocks, a whole street scene not quite SF embarcadero but close enough
hitchiked to Portland from LA camping along the way just to sk8 burnside 1996
If you haven't seen The Mission that has Krahn in it back in the late 90's... You're missing out. Look it up, HIGHLY recommended.
Wheres brent?
The 90s were my years there. La Luna, London Underground, The Church Of Elvis.
Smay is a such a good dude. Very kind in my experience. Dave Hite, as well.
I was so hyped when I randomly saw this on fuel tv a good 10 years ago... it was one of those shows that you unintentionally find while couch surfing and it ends up being so good you never want it to end nor do you blink. But since I first saw it that day it neeeever re aired and I couldn’t find it anywhere! Thank you so so much for this upload. I’m a Portland Oregon native and skateboarder so this documentary is very meaningful to me and Chet Childress is a huge inspiration to me.
hard to believe it's been 10 years already since I first watched this doc on fuel tv... thanks for uploading this!
I remember seeing this on Memorial Day when it aired on Fueltv channel. Been looking for this for so long & now I found it. Thanks.
beautiful Doc man, shout out from 2020.
So rad! Shredding a stranger's mini ramp is unheard of in California, Portland folks sound awesome.
This is great!!! Thank you.
I've been riding moose blanks and they're great I paid 75 bucks for five boards I have a stockpile in my room. It's nice having like a stack of 10 brand new decks just waiting to be skated. The shape of them reminds me of Element Skateboards or Alien Workshop. Any deck I buy from a actual company I put on my wall I don't even skate on cuz it's artwork you know
That spot was amazing. Glad I got to ride it.
Great upload cheers mate
I live in the pacific nw. Washington and i love this hits close to home
