I was gonna say
@@bushdickbill thanks dad
I cannot forgive this mistake
@@ccollins125 thanks daddy
It had to be said
The best part about the script is that Owen nailed it. Not a bit seemed forced.
Yes!
Acting is hard as hell, and he's one of the best
I was even convinced he acually skated
I was even convinced he acually skated
He is an actor
Owen Wilson did not seem out of place at all. Dude is a legend for that
for real
I legit thought he was a skater until it was revealed
R-worded
Well he is an actor after all.
Sure he didnt
Best skate vid. So, true story here. I lived in Rome from 2002-2005. One night, went to dinner with a bunch of friends, showed up a bit late, and the only seat open was across from this blond guy. I hadn't seen his face yet, but when I sat down and looked up, holy shit. It's Owen Wilson. We had a blast that night, and then started hanging out almost every night for a couple months. He was filming The Life Aquatic at the Cinecitta studios. The narrator is right. Owen just has such a great vibe about him, and he's a ton fun to hang with. I was bummed when the film wrapped and he had to leave. Fast forward to when i moved back to the USA in 2006, and picked up a copy of Yeah, Right. I texted him when i saw this part, and he laughed his ass off. Said he had such a great time filming this segment. He told me his favorite parts were the unscripted ones. I hope this story didn't make any of you fall asleep.
That's dope!
That is SO COOL!! :) I wish you all the best in life :)
ah man rad story, I loved life aquatic
Yeah, right. And Grizzly Adam’s had a beard.
What's his number
That was the best part about that skit. He had you believing 100% that he was a pro. Most of us were under the age of 18 when this movie came out. We were all dumb as shit and believed every second 🤣
I don’t think it’s that unbelievable. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out someone who’s famous for acting also skated. Hell, Jason Lee was a pro before he started acting.
@@petertippmann7271 also Jason Mama skates too, just not pro, but he's decent enough to have a session
Dude early 2000 we even belived The Blair Witch Project was REAL. It wasnt until internet became more available in east europe when we finally found out the great bamboozle lol
I loved how Owen said skate language is like Shakespeare! I love watching non skaters faces when we talk about tricks, I’ll be proud to be an old man but still be able to talk about a back lip to a youngster
lol same
@@ryyydizzle no ry. DO A KICKFLIP
Im jus tryna get u to do some flip in flip out shit
Cringe
@@righteousred723 Nice Self like. cRinGE
The fact that owen was down for the bit and put out the respect always had me. We all knew it wasnt him
Yep
Well, he got paid...
No it was Owen..it was Owen!!!
It was at the perfect time for Owen too. Especially seeing how close the two movies Yeah Right and Shanghai Knights with Jackie Chan were to each other. It was one of many great eras of skateboarding and I'm happy I was part of it. Also, a big "fuck you" to the kid that stole my Yeah Right VHS a couple years after its release (which in a way is very representative of the life and vibe back then)
YEAH RIGTH
I remember watching the video right when it came out and all of us laughing our asses off at the random Owen cameo. It’s crazy that he didn’t know those words before - he spoke them so perfectly. We always knew it was Koston throwing the bluntslides but it was still a hilarious and unforgettable skit.
Owen nailed the script. Sounded like he knew exactly what he was talking about. One of my fav parts
I've been straight up lying to people for years now about it
"What's up with your footage?"
"What'd you say?"
Delivered so well it is easily the best part of the dialogue.
IT'S SO GOOD
"What's up with MY footage??" Was brilliant then it looks like he just shows everyone exactly what's up with his footage! Love this clip!
Yeah everyones biting my s**t
Hell yeah! Good dude, even if it's not him shredding that rail, still a classic. Miss thrashing, getting old sucks.
But it's already been done in 411 issue #52. (Not sure if I got the right number) lol.
All these years later, I always wondered Owen Williams got in the Yeah right. I was obsessed with that video I had it on replay for 3 months
Rick mcranks part was fire
Love your reactions man
@@kurtlamprecht93 I bet was the auto correction lol
Yeah I love Oswald Winslow. Favorite skateboard playing actor man from space without a mustache, of all time.
@@kurtlamprecht93 😂😂😂
One of my friends in high school (almost 20 years ago) used to skate and film all the other skaters... constantly. Made edits, added music and showed them to everyone before YT was really a thing. The dude now has worked on multiple marvel projects and did a good chunk of the Daredevil series on Netflix. Skating produces some of the most creative people i've ever met.
I agree! Nathan Barnatt is the one of the most creative people I've encountered and he's a skater. (Or at least used to skate)
I was just talking to someone last night about how i regret never getting into filming skating. I used to (and still do) film all the events and socials we go to for edits, and also have skated for the last 25 years, but the two never overlaped. None of the people i regularly hung out with were that into skating, and i didn't tend to socialise much with the local skate scene so there was never really anyone around for me to film
Of all Owen Wilson’s screen appearances this is the one that immortalised him as a cool dude.
Thanks a lot, I’ve always thought Owen Wilson was a bad ass skater and you just crushed my dreams.
I lied Jason. You have to believe me
No way dude, don’t let their facts rebuild your memory palace. ❤️
He actually is a pretty dope skater mate but this was never him the myth hahaha forgot about that little lie 😅
This video was fake news, Owen Wilson can indeed backside blunt a rail any day of the week
Well ,you still have Jason Lee.
Props to Owen Wilson for making that so believable, what an amazing actor sheesh
I agree Ham Sandwiche
ay yo wtf are u my long lost brother
@@imabigsandwich1292 you gon do great things fam 🙏🙏
What the fuck
@@manymystics ay you guys got some dope profile pics
dude this time period was so damn exciting. Everything was coming together for skateboarding and some pros were now making serious money w/ crossing over into other industries. Skateboarding had finally made it.
Unfortunately I think there’s gonna be another heavy crash
Wowsers! I remember when skating got big in the mid 80s, when wide board first became popular 😅
It's weird how every generation thinks they saw the beginning of something.
Back in the 60s and 70s skating had other big moments with the skinny boards...
@@Theduckwebcomics this time period was when movie actors like owen wilson were doing skits for skate videos. Also pros like bam margera now had their own mtv shows and movies. Also the tony hawk pro skater games were incredibly popular. Chad Muska was dating a socialite in Paris Hilton, so he was crossing over into the fashion world. Even if u didnt give a fuck about shit like that u still rooted for Muska just cuz he was a skater. This time period was special for sure
Drunk duck, 70’s were the most progressive era.. from clay to urethane wheels. Flat single cut out wood to contoured plies, skinny to wide, freestyle, street to vert. Ramps, pools, parks. It all happened in the 70’s. Nose wheelies, double daffy, kick flips, downhill bombing, Ollie’s, aerials. Golden era.
bro how you gonna make this one banger of a video and ghost, do more!
Couldn't agree more!
@@Hydreji OH COME ON. (on this it says the same name as me)
There was also an ad in either thrasher or the skateboarder mag that had Owen and Koston sitting together with the same exact outfit on and I think that’s when other people knew that it wasn’t really Owen Wilson, but still, this segment in the yeah right! Video is and always will be the best in any skate video!
agreed!
I remember that ad. Had to have been transworld where I first saw it.
It was in the pages that came with the DVD/ vhs
i remember saying thats not owen wilson and nobody would believe me... then i showed them that photo in the mag and i was like "seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" lol
It was pretty obvious at the time it was Koston, his style is too hard to miss. But even though we knew it was a skit, it really elevated him within the skate world to me, because this was no big hollywood set, no catering, or air conditioned trailers, this was just a few guys hanging out having fun, and he was all for it. No diva shit, just having fun.
Yeah
i actually though it was him at first, cus i though he was a skater before he was famous or something. kinda sucks knowing he never had anything at all tp do with skateboarding
Hope you put together some more videos, dude. This was unbelievably well made, and I wish you did more. The music, editing and narration were all strong as hell. Take care.
this comment got me opening a google doc, brainstorming some ideas. thanks homie
@@ryyydizzle i had so much on my heart cause i know the raw talent and feel that goes into these videos and that you clearly possess from your endeavors producing music, but i knew you read comments, so i didn’t wanna freak you out. It might be scary to post on this channel because you feel like you have to do great, but honestly, it’s just a youtube channel. And it’s your personal youtube channel at that. So if you bomb on the next video, you haven’t lost anything. At worst, you gain a hobby and personal project, or you move on. No one is waiting for you to fumble; you have no haters. Just have fun and splice some clips. You could put out a video of a bird sitting on a branch filmed with an iphone for all it matters. Anyway, views don’t matter. You just make your art and enjoy staring it when it’s rendered. Peace, man.
Owen Wilson lovely personality. Total legend. Legend comedic actor.
💯
That's Rick Howard not Robbie McKinley. Owen even asks him "What's up with your ACL, Ricky?" Iconic scene, thanks for the video.
Thanks!
Man so much nostalgia. That was the high for skating boarding at the time and was glad I was there. So much iconic moments in time.
Absolutely
Growing up as a skater in the early 2000s was a magical time
Its just not the same anymore brother 😪
Gotta keep the vibes alive. I still skate but not as hardcore or as much but I do when I can get it in. I still watch and support skateboarding and watch thrasher and see what’s new. It’s good we were in it but like time..everything moves, changes, evolves and including us and more importantly skateboarding. Just like that song just “ kick push kick push coast till the next episode.”
@@planet_aldrain224 100% man! I'll be 31 in March. Been a part of skating since early 03-04 somewhere, it was 7th grade summer. Went HARD at it for a good while, but like you said, time moves on. I might not be able to go like I could 15 years ago but the love and passion I feel for skating is still just as strong as it was back then.
Skate or Die
As a skater / slang user with two decades worth of experience, I can truthfully say that I bought it when Owen was talking.
The skater switch was fairly obvious, but I immediately accepted the notion that Owen Wilson knew about skateboarding. Nothing in that delivery raised any suspicion!
Owen is just naturally chill & cool, easily adaptable to any situation.
When we saw this as kids, we all wanted to believe it. He played it off so well.
For real Josh. A true thespian
Dude you edited out the best part "crack my back" 🤣🤣
lol i regret keeping that out
@@ryyydizzle no biggy! Thanks for sharing 👍
@@jugglingbag
theres something so pleasing to the eye about early 2000s skateboarding fisheye camera on owen wilson. A superb vibe
I wanted a fisheye lens so bad
As a former skater, now filmmaker, this moment was one of my favorite moments of my childhood. And to this day I still think about the invisible skateboard montage
This is so well made we need more videos like this on skate history and iconic skate videos!
i agree!
The next video they made after this is jus as good
he got the name wrong on one of the most famous skater ever. lap it up...
Baker 3!
We used to get so hyped on Yeah Right and Round 3 before going out for a skate session
Yep!
PJ Ladd Really Sorry as well lol
I absolutely loved that in the "Yeah Right" video. It was so influential to my life. As well as Sorry, Really Sorry, Baker 3. Many more lol it was the best time to be a young teen starting skating with all that going on 🤟
AGREED!
I agree. Sorry and really sorry and the transworld videos before that. Pj ladd killed that shit. Anyone see the games of skate going on at that time too? I'm pretty sure pj ladd won the whole thing. If not definetly 2nd.
@@joeymeyer8261 yeah those es games of skate as the precursor to batb was a fun time. I remember p-rod taking Koston out and Koston was saying he was just trying to keep up w/ him.
It’s been a long time since I got some chills about anything but watching this clicked some memories and my entire body fluttered with chills.. haven’t thought about the good ole days in awhile and YEAH RIGHT was it!! Damn I miss them days
I’m 40 when I first saw this as a kid I loved it. It was something we wanted to believe even tho we knew the truth…well done 🤘🏻
Thank you!
a kid? bruh i was kid and im 30. ur ass must've been at leats 22 years old... grownass child.
@@dopetheadjective2020 be cool man. No need for that ❤️
@@ryyydizzle He's got a point though
@@dopetheadjective2020 guess that makes you just a lil punk then huh
I bought this dvd when I visited America when I was 13years old 19 years ago, I watched it for years on repeat, this has brought back some memories!
Damn man bringing back the early 2000 feels. I was like 9 when yeah right came out and that part with Owen wilson had me completely fooled at the time. I remember in 01-02 watching Zoolander with my pops which had Owen shredding on the scooter in that movie so to see him “skating” was so sick.Owen hitting the blunt slide then almost hitting the nose blunt got me super stoked! Shout out to Koston and spike that was such a sick part.
Honestly the thing that made me feel this was real was how natural the dialogue seemed between owen and everyone else
Give that dude an Oscar for this
Still one of my fav vids to show people who bring up owen and start convo about him in general. People say "wooow" but i say "aye you know that fool rips on a skateboard huh??" Lol...YEAH RIGHT!
@@ryyydizzle i agree bro forsure
DO A KICKFLIP
yeah Owen's so good he carried that whole scene for the girl riders that were in the scene. I mean they were pretty good at acting too but obviously Owen quarterbacked that scene cuz he's the professional actor.
I remember watching it for the first time with my cousins and our friends. We couldn’t believe how Owen casually nails a blunt 😂
Glad this came across my feed... Brings back memories of when I first saw that video in high school
485 subs ?? my guy this video was very well done! loved it! Yeah Right still my fav skate vid to this day. Biebel’s intro & BA’s part are goated.
THANKS! Had like 200 before this video posted, it went wild lol. appreciate the kind words
685 a day later, on the way up
he got the name wrong on one of the most famous skater ever. lap it up...
Literally my favorite skate video ever. Shit was so inspiring.. the music edits matching the pops and landings of each trick.. the invisible boards and the slow motion shots were so epic when I was a kid
such a vibe
this is a really good edit you did for this video. its warm and concise too. always loved the owen wilson clip and thanks for making this backstory on it
Best skate video ever. Not only is the skating and cinematography amazing but the soundtrack is absolutely banging. I would often just put this on during parties in lieu of music and it was always a huge hit!
In terms of tricks, I don't know if anything will ever beat Rodney Mullen's OG skate video
This is my all time favorite video. Owen Wilson is hilarious. He became my favorite actor after this video. I believe that owen Wilson really did that trick, no matter how stacked the evidence is. It's part of my religion😂
this is my favorite comment so far 😂 thanks for watching!
Best skate video of all time
For sure. 👍👍👍👍👍
It was my life as a young skater
I stopped skating in the early 90s but still very much appreciate Owen Wilsons part in our community.
Check out Jack Black in "Pretty Sweet". it's incredible
I was convinced Owen was a legitimate skater when I first watched it, he’s incredible.
I remember so clearly the first time watching this with my friends and we were all freaking out. Such an amazing feeling. We went on a road trip to skateboard and ended up watching yeah right like at least twice a day hahah, we had the whole thing memorized pretty much. What an awesome part.
Iconic.
Remember throwing on the classic skate videos from 2000 -2008 and getting so in the mood to skate. Was like pre gaming for a day of skating.
@@kcmman9323 Bruh these videos were dangerous... had me trying a bunch of shit I had no business doing 😅
love how he said "Spanky blitzed that in the Emerica video"... I think he misspoke but it "blitz" could easily pass as modified skate-lingo version of "blunt"
Yep I love that part. That’s what I always assumed it was lol
I love this skate movie. I saw it about a thousand times, and a lot of understanding of how to realize tricks came to me from this movie. Beautiful tricks, montage, and soundtrack.
Iam so happy i was 11 years old when this came out, so many good skate movies came out between 2002- 2005 🤘🔥
You managed to make a 4 minute video feel extremely complete, not forced and just about perfect! Very hard to do! Awesome vid!
Not to mention only making ONE video too. What a legend.
Dude thank you for showcasing the song by Rocksteeze in this video. I immediately went to Spotify to find it and am blown away he only has 58 monthly listeners. Dude can SPIT
Absolutely! I just DM'd him to tell him the vid was blowin' up. I'm so thankful he let me use his song. His song made the video flow so well.
This video was a game changer. Mike Mo's last few tricks completely blew my mind. That was the first part of the video.
Incredible
Straight up classic! Love it! Skated all thru highschool - idols in here.
Love how he pushed on both sides 😂
Yeah lol my favorite part
I loved it too. It was steezy but dorky. Only Koston.
I do that sometimes.
@@kevincollins8620 I was just about to say that’s koston lol
Can't say only Koston... check Marc Johnson. He's the steeziest wit it
One of the best videos ever! When he did that blunt my whole squad went cray
Loved the production quality on this video man, great music choice and clip selection. This was a work of art.
That means the world to me. Thank you ❤️
this video is actually great!!! Love the commentary and the eye catching clips. Great Job
I can’t even begin to tell you how badly I’ve always wished I was really good at skating. All you skaters make it look SO dang easy. Then you think oh I got that. Nopppppeee!! Mad respect. Takes serious courage to a lot of what you do.
broke my foot making the video lol at the end you can see me riding on the orange board, foot was broken, didn't know it
@@ryyydizzle Dang it bro! Not sure how you didn't know? haha keep up the solid skating my guy!
If you're still in your twenties and you're not overweight, you can definitely skate. You don't have to do any tricks just get confident at riding and pushing at different speeds and turning. Most of the fun is being confident in simply riding fast. I knew people who could do all sorts of tricks but could not ride like I did. If you've never skated before it's awkward but you will quickly get comfortable at it, then practice turning quickly by slightly picking up the front of the board and pivoting to either side. One fun thing to get good at is doing 180's by simply dragging one end around while riding. If you have no friends to skate with like the good old days, it's ok to skate alone with some music. I started in my driveway, learned to Ollie in my garage lol anyway I'm reminiscing now lol take care.
As a longtime skater, and enthusiast, let me tell ya, it's not as easy as it looks. A ton of trail and error but the rush you get when you land that trick is euphoric! Wipeouts suck though, especially when you compound fracture your arm like I did. Lol!
Yeah Right! was a sick video for sure. I could show clips to people who didn’t skate and they’d still be into it. I think that says a lot
I would do the same thing! Such a classic
i watch it until now when im in the mood!
@@og_queenie3303 it’s so good
I also felt that way about The End and The Reason.
I watched this just so UA-cam would stop suggesting it to me. But now UA-cam thinks I love skateboarding and want to rewatch this video everyday.
lmao sorry Daniel
takes me back to my favourite skate video of all time GIRL
Definitely one of the best skate videos of all time.
thanks for the memories homie!! definitely a crucial video in the development of the skateboarding world. Gives me chills knowing i was a part of this shit
How many people were “part of this shit”? This is the 3rd or 4th comment I’ve read saying that and its starting to feel like a meme
This was a classic, one of my favourite moments from back in the day. To me those years were my favourite years for skateboarding.
Same. What an era
A lot of people make fun of Grind...but that movie is a Classic. Perfect capsule of that time period. Always a good watch.
i need to get back to it, used to have it on repeat
Totally forgot about that segment! Yeah Right! was a badass video, the execution of the Owen clip was perfect. The first few times I watched it I thought it was legit!
Nobody believed me this was acting it's so well done.
give that man an Oscar
Loved this.. thank you
This is so cool! I always remembered that clip, even though I knew it wasnt owen doing th backside blunt. Thanks for the great vid!
I like how he says Robby McKinley when it's Rick Howard (whatever happened to Robby... next video idea?) But definitely good video of behind the scenes of that iconic video and little, but iconic as well, clip of Owen Wilson. I remember always speculating who that skater was who did that back blunt. I always thought it to be Koston. And now it's been proven ha.
yeah that was my bad. I pinned a comment about Rick. It's such a good clip, especially for people who aren't/weren't in the skate scene.
I absolutely loved this video, thank you for covering it👊🏻 it was right there with label kills and shortys
Frost Man has a very distinct style. He like pumps from toes when he pushes (I think that’s why I subconsciously do that) and his hands usually have one thumb out or down.
I hold my hands up like a T-Rex when I push. Don't ask me why lol
This is my favourite skate vid ever. Still have it on cassette and watched it not long ago :)
Good length video, gets to the point, shows all the cool shit, no bs. Love it!
I love grind so much, probably my favorite skateboarding movie ever
Absolutely!
That was excellent ! Great job everyone who worked on that film. The original and the behind the scenes footage. Y'all Rock!
THANKS FOR THAT SONG !!!
man this dude has a freaking crazy flow.
Thanks for the rare find . Love it.
And great video as well obv 😂 !
Rocksteeze is incredible. 100% agree. Go show him love!!! Tell him to drop some more!!
this is fantastic. thank you
His dad is responsible for bringing monty python to the states. People like that have great humor :)
That’s dope! I didn’t know that
Nee!
This is not true. But his great great-grandfather is Arthur Spiegel of the Spiegel home catalog empire who later started an equity banking company with One of the Warners (yes of Warner Bros)
Awesome video! Thanx 4 creating & sharing 💜💙💚💛Bellè ~ AUSTRALIA xxx
Skaters are everywhere and varied. He did it fun which was nice. Great video.
fuck man we had the best childhoods, most all sports was at their prime we had all these dope skaters reppin from movies to TV shows like viva la bam skating was booming. everything was in the 90s good times.
Amen man. The golden era of "action sports". I fuckin miss it
i remember learning a long long long time ago that the trick wasn't owen, and it didn't surprise me, its a hard trick. but the fact he didn't know anything about skating but pulled of the lingo that well.. thats a real mind blower. that might be owen's best performance. i really thought he was at least around skate culture
same, he fit so well
I remember this... thanks for making this video
Well damn. I bought this DVD when it first came out and was amped to see him skate... now you've burst the bubble man...
Growing up as a skater in the early 2000s was a magical time to be a part of. Skate or Die
It sure was!
skate or die was the 80s.
Being a 12 year old kid when this came out, I most definitely thought this was legit and remember telling a couple of my friends, "Did you know Owen Wilson is actually a really good skater?" over the course of my teen years lol. He's the man though. so chill, hard to believe that he was baffled by the lingo cause he fits right in.
Give the man an Oscar
I remember buying yeah right, in a tiny skate shop in upstate New York somewhere in 03. Skating a tiny park. Such a great video
One of my favorite videos
I don’t know what’s more impressive, Owen pulling off the role so well I’ve told thousands of people he’s a great skater lol
Even as a kid I remember being in such awe of how good Owen Wilson acted that classic skater role. What an amazing actor.
Give him an Oscar for Yeah Right
damn bro what a great video 1.5 mil man you deserve it
This was my hay day in skateboarding. Makes me sad that we’re all getting old now.
❤️
Not gonna lie, I kinda really enjoy the well made “short” content. Videos don’t need to be 20 minutes to be engaging. Earned my sub
YO THANKS! I'm definitely working on more. Pop culture, music, video games, etc... got a few ideas in the works.
@@ryyydizzle I’ll watch anything as long as it’s well produced :)
he got the name wrong on one of the most famous skater ever. lap it up...
@@joejoe2658 who?
Yes they do.
So good. Remember this fondly.
I’m so glad I grew up skating in that era 👌🏻 so many good videos/dvds
Same here!
Owen was so mellow, I really thought he was a full on skater before the movies. Also, if you hear him talk without watching, I swear you'll think it's a lightning McQueen clip lmao
KACHOW
I remember buying Yeah Right on DVD when it came out. By far one of the best skate vidz I ever seen. Kostons part = legendary, but Brandon Biebel’s part smashes. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥱🥱
100% agree!
i remember buying yeah right on a VHS from my local skate shop
