It most definitely was… and I was so blessed so be a part of it. All of this footage was definitely part of the era and time where I had thrived off of this footage and was heavily motivated to go out and to learn all these crazy new tricks for both my regular stance and switch. By the time I was in my prime my friends were never able to beat me in SKATE. So yea that time in my life holds a very special place in my heart.
Bro, you don't understand how grateful I am for this. I'm teary-eyed. I've been hunting this footage down for well over 10 years! I even spoke to Sal Masekela about it!
the game has changed so far that people might not understand how this was straight ground breaking lol. For 50k that’s like how much Tyshan makes on instagram 😂
This is the period of time I was going the hardest, age 13 to 16. 2004 to 2007. I miss this time of my life so much I can’t even put into words. When Sorry! came out I watched it probably 150 times with my friends. Life seems soooo insanely different these days. If you are young, and you’re skating, savor every moment. Let it rip. 🤙
This line up is sick. This was at the pinnacle of skate boarding for me as a kid. I loved TNT's In Bloom video. Dying to Live, Sorry, This is Skateboarding, Yeah Right!. Man, those were the best times of my youth.
Like the golden era of football, skateboarding was so stacked it insane. You could name 100 names and they are all had their own styles, own characters , was an amazing time to be a kid and skateboarding and music and sport .
“Street skaters just don’t lands their tricks first try”. Give it 15 years. So cool to see how much things have changed. Now we have 360 flip noseblunt slides in a run. Crazy.
I was 10 years old and remember watching this like it was yesterday. Its the first time I ever saw someone skateboard in Nikes Like P-Rod Did. Made me find out what nike SB was.
Don’t get me wrong, all the new kids coming up are super tech and go huge! ..but 99’-early 00’s there was sooo much style in skating. Most new guys look so robotic. NOT just Ny
rowley said old man becauze hes og of skateboard he and reynolds are insane and rowley probably my favorite skater ever just because his english balls are.huge
more comments from the past of when i probably watched this onmy ghetto pc no wait iphones qere out right i think bastien should of won and p rod is favor because hes youngest but idk bastiwn clearly had the balls
I can’t believe I watched this on tv my era I was born was stylin too effortlessly, kids can’t wrap around the idea of this compared to today most skating today is watered down and toooooo much park, real street skating is getting more rare by the day
If this where treated like how basketball fans treat their legends they would be like these guys where plumbers and bums no way they would stand a chance now
What a stacked line up. I hate the presentation format though. Felt like I didnt get to watch the actual contest and instead just saw some of the people talking about it.
Imagine living in a world where you can play a video game and win 10 times as much. These young men where legends and competed at a level that was bone crushing. I loved skating and it was all about the adrenaline and showing off.
I cant believe how fucking good skaters are now a days with the 4k cameras too showing how well they do everything. Theres major levitation powers going on in 2022 compared to back then.
If anyone knows where I can get the 2003 X Games Global Championship skate park contest, I'd greatly appreciate it. Koston and Chris Senn won (i.e Team America). Thanks in advance.
An absolute murderer's row of skaters. Literally two generations of skaters who were bumping up against each other and pushing the sport to new, unimaginable heights. This was not the old guard barely hanging on while a new breed was pushing them out. It was a collective competition of two generations of skaters both pushing the sport at the same time. Something you never saw before and haven't seen since. It was an incredible time to be alive witnessing history right in front of you.
those weird old ridge flip skateboards with the grooves that were forr faster slides lol paired up with those tensor trucks everyone had with the slide plate
@@djsubliminalreeve I had that exact setup with a set of rock hard darkstar wheels, those things would powerslide on sandpaper they where so hard. Was it just my group or did everyone use skinny boards too? Anything over 7.5 felt massive to me, no wonder my heels where always bruised to hell.

The 2000s era of skateboarding was so special. I miss it
Cherish the memories, skateboarding is different these days
@@charlesK12960 🤡
@@charlesK12960 I think the 2000’s was the best for skateboarding IMO, 90’s was good too.
especially from 1999 to 2002.👌👌

I still have this on DVD somewhere
Bro until I saw this recently I forgot all about sal
Insanely nostalgic
@@clmuka23 the same rules applies to sls. 1 run and 2 best trick counts.
Can we all just appreciate the style and how skateboarding looks at this time!!!
Such a beautiful time in skate history
5:44 funny how Rowley called himself an old man yet he's still skating hard almost 20 years later lol.
Damn I forgot about how stacked this one was! Legends everywhere!
NO WAY! I have been trying to find this for almost 10 years. I had this recorded on VHS. This is so nostalgic for me. Thank you for posting this.
Muska is such a solid dude just lovin life and lovin’ people

This P Rod style was the best era period.
Facts 😊
@@Splakyy From DNA to Primitive.
P Rod is a true G and inspiration to all.
Muska
back when people actually dressed how they wanted and didnt look to instagram to look like a bunch of T funks lol
@@charlesK12960 this is damn near 20 years ago. Look how young p rod and sheckler looked. Sheckler will be 33 in a few days....

Amen man! I created my username based off that era when I was a huge fan of Jamie Thomas. (c1)rca (d)ying (t)o (l)ive
That tweaked 90 degree kickflip Reynolds does and pulls it back is so sick. Reminds me of a whip on a dirtbike.
Kick flip shifty 👍
Do you have a time stamp?
I wish i had all the shoes 👞 they had in mint condition. When skate shoes where tech and lasted for months
Nyjah was robbed
Omg lol weak
😂😂
Still one of the best contests to date
I would rather watch this than any of the newer contests now a days. The golden era of skating we all grew up with. Kids these days don’t understand.
Please upload more of these! Thank you!
Skateboarding gold here thank you
shout out to any malaysians watching this,Pa' Din is literally sitting beside Reynolds!! 23:17

Now we have 360 flip noseblunt slides in a run. Crazy.
I noted the same thing
15 years later it's still true. You're talking about contest skaters not street skaters.
I wish shit was still like this
Man it was the best back then no overhyped or boring pros everyone was cool and the style back then was awsome
I miss guys like Chad muska skate boarding would not be the same with out guys like him apart of it
The amount of positivity in this is so wholesome, just a bunch of guys having a crazy sesh and getting hyped together really, too good
they were living in the moment for sure!
Recuerdo haber visto este concurso solo por fotos en una revista, gracias por el video 🙏
Skateboarding history here.
Reynolds and Prod got the style but Sebastian got the tech.
I was 10 years old and remember watching this like it was yesterday. Its the first time I ever saw someone skateboard in Nikes Like P-Rod Did. Made me find out what nike SB was.
this was so sick seeing nearly 20 years later ALL these dudes still RIP
poor choice of capitalization
La época dorada del skateboarding 🛹 leyendas patinando, ropa con estilo, organización y autenticidad en los concursos... se extrañan esos días.
Bastian was the fuckin man back in the day.
17:19 Reynolds shifty flip is wild
seeing it in slow motion is pretty cool he has those things so sideways, no one today even does them like that
@@technocatdance dude his and Tom Penny’s shifty flips were full sideways. Strong ass core to be switching gears mid-air
Some of this stuff was pretty amazing but Muska break dancing at the end of his run should’ve been an immediate gold medal.
Don’t get me wrong, all the new kids coming up are super tech and go huge! ..but 99’-early 00’s there was sooo much style in skating. Most new guys look so robotic. NOT just Ny
I used to have this on DVD when I was 13.
Best era of skateboarding, anyone knows where to watch the whole thing? Or even x games 05 or 06 whatever! I just wanna watch more !
I've been waiting to see some older vids get the ai cleanup. Maybe this is just from a clean original source, but hopefully the floodgates open soon 👍
the golden age of skateboarding right here
i will agree 100% and at this time in my life i was watching yeah right and wonderful horrible life on repeat
Almost 20 years til the full contest was posted. You are a legend for posting this 🙌
I miss this era, x games, halo 2 online, and World Series of poker.
Man I miss live games live in SC no bueno.
witnessed this very special era.
this is so tight
of all the things to last in skating... the shoe string thong is still going
How young they were 😢
Now this was Skateboarding.
Reynolds kickflip lip, pops 3ft over rail and slides last foot...crazy
I just want to point out how far Andrew Reynolds and Bastion were were clearing the stairs and the gap.
I remember when this came out you could only see highlights online of a few of Paul's tricks. His switch was such a big deal so clean
the way PRod could adjust so quick and smooth to keep center on front boards/lips still blows me away
bastien was doing 5-0 switch crooks in 2004 crazy how they BLACKBALLED him he blackballed hmself as well though
I'm a skater boy
This is the best video out there, grew up watching all of these legends. 🔥🔥
rowley said old man becauze hes og of skateboard he and reynolds are insane and rowley probably my favorite skater ever just because his english balls are.huge
more comments from the past of when i probably watched this onmy ghetto pc no wait iphones qere out right i think bastien should of won and p rod is favor because hes youngest but idk bastiwn clearly had the balls
20yrs later i finally get to watch it! Glad i didnt die in the meantime
I absolutely love my algorithm for this 😭
It's been on my home screen for the last five days now. The algorithm really really wanted me to watch this. So glad I did.
Damn bro I had this recorded on the dish dvr
Facts dish 500
I can’t believe I watched this on tv my era I was born was stylin too effortlessly, kids can’t wrap around the idea of this compared to today most skating today is watered down and toooooo much park, real street skating is getting more rare by the day
Ashton Kutcher, I mean Mark Appleyard .... and what about Koston's hair lol
I love Andrew
If this where treated like how basketball fans treat their legends they would be like these guys where plumbers and bums no way they would stand a chance now
What a stacked line up. I hate the presentation format though. Felt like I didnt get to watch the actual contest and instead just saw some of the people talking about it.
When skateboarding was underground culture
This was my time as a kid and my brothers teenagers lol.... We were the ones getting chase those times lol I remember that I was like 11 or 12 ...
Do you have the 2006 xgames street???? I started skating watching that contest 🥺
Padin musa with kickflip noseslide.. why no interview with him..?
Those prod mexican flag 🇲🇽 sb dunks are worth some money 💰
Ever since i was younger always loved andrew reynolds still using baker and deathwish till death
Fun Fact: almost all same filmers/production as “The End”… do you see it?
The fucking iconic drip. Muska doing too much but that’s normal.
Fun contest format! Also pretty funny how they turned the recap into a reality show xD
Pretty sure that Chad Muska in this video looks just like Jimmy Donaldson
As cool as this was I hate the format of this xgames, I wanted to see raw skating not them talking throughout the entire comp
I remember seing this on ESPN back in the day.
Muska break dancing....MUSKALADE!!!
Wow that was amazing to watch!! What's steve-o doing handing out medals? Haha
P-rod repping Mexico is mf legendary. He’s a true goat, def top 5
Skatebording new subcrip from chile👉🎅
pure nostalgia
Bring back this era of x games lol
Can't believe this is 20 years old. How are all y'all's knees these days?
Crazy seeing your idols get older..gotta appreciate greatness.
so this is purely interviews about the comp?
2000’s era of Los Angeles. Now California is a homeless wasteland
Reynolds in his prime I remember watching this on tv when I was 5
again bastien should of won and he is alsoextremely sorry
This video is perfect, thank you.
Best skating era ever!!!!
I Watch this and I want to back skateboading
ahmad fadzil musa padin musa form malaysia!
The nostalgia is so real. Thanks for this!
This session could walk so that SLS could run
suddenly i remember those signature shoes....
Imagine living in a world where you can play a video game and win 10 times as much. These young men where legends and competed at a level that was bone crushing. I loved skating and it was all about the adrenaline and showing off.
I cant believe how fucking good skaters are now a days with the 4k cameras too showing how well they do everything. Theres major levitation powers going on in 2022 compared to back then.
Y 19 años después, Reynolds sigue patinando con el mismo nivel que mostró aquí.
If anyone knows where I can get the 2003 X Games Global Championship skate park contest, I'd greatly appreciate it. Koston and Chris Senn won (i.e Team America). Thanks in advance.
An absolute murderer's row of skaters. Literally two generations of skaters who were bumping up against each other and pushing the sport to new, unimaginable heights.
This was not the old guard barely hanging on while a new breed was pushing them out. It was a collective competition of two generations of skaters both pushing the sport at the same time. Something you never saw before and haven't seen since.
It was an incredible time to be alive witnessing history right in front of you.
I used to really love Geoff Rowley man!!! Omg this takes me back to those flip skateboards with him and Bastien Salabanzi
those weird old ridge flip skateboards with the grooves that were forr faster slides lol paired up with those tensor trucks everyone had with the slide plate
@@djsubliminalreeve I had that exact setup with a set of rock hard darkstar wheels, those things would powerslide on sandpaper they where so hard. Was it just my group or did everyone use skinny boards too? Anything over 7.5 felt massive to me, no wonder my heels where always bruised to hell.
