Skated here for the first time yesterday. Had to go back for more today. You can just feel the history here as soon as you step into it. Thank you, Nike.
@@newvocabulary every corporation and operation under capitalism exloits someone somewhere. Since we cant do anything about it we should just accept the products.
@ Nike is a big evil corp though.... You're trying to make the argument into a false dichotomy, where I have to choose evil or evil. I don't have to do that, I can point out evil, say it's evil, and be correct.
People always talk shit about how Nike is "ruining skateboarding", it seems like in this case they did a pretty amazing thing for skateboarding so props to them
At the end of the day all company do the same thing nike! just had a bigger platform coming in to skateboarding and kinda toolkit away! From all the other company such as etnies , fallen, lakai , and many other company's did get is much exposure so when the new guys come in and get signed by nike because there so good who get exposure nike, so it takes away for other company's. Nyjah , luan , Shane , prod , Eric koston ride for nike!
I was there recently to witness the heaven that is the new west LA courthouse. Stopped by there on a day of skating in Venice just to reminisce if you will only to find out that the place was completely renovated to what you see today. It was an amazing surprise and treat and cant wait to get back there. SOoooo many great memories at that place.
yep, but still support the brands owned by skaters such as emerica, es, not so much addidas and nike which are only in it for the $$ since skateboarding is very ''in'' right now
Anyone who makes a company is in it for the money, that's how business works, nobody is making a company to grow skateboarding all these guys are trying to make money off skating some skaters and some business men it's all the same in my opinion
Everything was different in the 90's skatings not gonna die at the rate it's at, street league and zuimez are just point less. I'm just sayin the only thing ruining skateboarding are the skaters creating "skate politics" between corporate companies and skater owned companies. skating is all about just having fun with your homies at the park or in the streets and no company is gonna ruin that. Unless you want it to
+mikeyjallball but don't listen to me I'm just some dumb kid who wouldn't know anything a "Veteran skater" like you fine I'll skate the skater-owned brands and see what changes
I think the coolest part of that kid's line is after the crooked grind nollie heel out, he goes into a board stall on the ledge and then pulls his tail over it.
Yeah, I hear a lot of older guys put Nike and other large corporations down for sucking the soul out of skateboarding but this is really cool. They are putting someone in charge who has their heart in the right place. If they keep doing things like this, I may buy some Nikes.
I have tried them, the pair I skated had great control, but they weren't very comfortable and tore apart in two months. I just have a preference on shoes based on personal experience.
***** Hating nike became "cool" so most of the things you see on the internet is bullshit. I am an emerica guy myself but to be real, my Romeros had the sole on the left shoe basically exploding after like two month (from the heel to like the middle of my foot it just separated from the shoe) and i might have done like two ollies in them, it was my "going to school" pair of shoes. And my on my reynolds 3 the sole on my right shoe was just randomly popping out (bad glue i guess) Basically outside of the G6 wich comes out as one of the best skate shoe ever (and i heard the figgy's are pretty good too) but outside of that emerica isnt that much better than anything nike does. I've had a pair of Nike, the Satire and they skated good, felt really good and really the sole was so damn durable I liked them so much that I bought a pair of canvas to chill in. People have no argument against Nike outside of "oh they arent from skateboarding they want to destroy it" nigga please why is nobody hating on Adidas and Puma then ? and technically, Converse is the same too.
I think Nike is helping to progress skateboarding more so than many other companies have worked to. I also think people are hating on them for some really dumb reasons.
LOVE THE IDEA OF RESSURECTING AN OLD SCHOOL SPOT but not really feelin the colors so if they ever own a spot can you just make it an OG color.... cuz thats what the streets are all about
CAN NIKE PLEASE GO TO SAN JOSE AND UNCAP ALL THE LEDGES AT HATHAWAY PARK!!! 1497 Vallejo Dr, San Jose, CA 95130 it must have at least 50 skate stoppers and the ledges are chipped up pretty bad but kinda skateable.. no one sits on the ledges anyways some are too small and others are all black from waxing
now imagine a skateboarding city without houses, cars, people. only spots perfect spots to ride slow, fast, high, low, 1mile manuals and some good things in this.
Watsup bros, In the near future I'm gonna be your typical cool skateboard UA-cam guy..with Tons of likes and subscribers. I just figured you might as well all go ahead and start now by showing the love and racking up some likes and subs. No big deal. Just saying.
This was the Santa Monica Courthouse. I don't know why Eric doesn't even mention that. It got renamed the West LA Courthouse. He should have said when. I'm not looking it up. That means there's a new Santa Monica Courthouse. It must be huge because Van Nuys got so overfull of cases, at least for evictions, they make everyone go to Santa Monica if you have a domestic dispute in Van Nuys. I just won a case only because I am recognized as disabled. I think the new one is closer to the beach. They probably kick you out of it. I think Nike made an agreement Koston couldn't even say the words "Santa Monica Courthouse" because that's what the spot is. That sucks about the pond. Whenever I skated West LA there was barely anyone there in '89,90,91 and 92.
Who really gives a shit? It's a spot. Just because you no longer run the risk of getting kicked out doesn't mean anything bad. That's nothing but good. Nothing is taken away from the spot just because they're allowed to skate there and they replaced the concrete ledges with metal ledges. It's still fucking ledges. It's still street and a good skate spot. Wtf is the problem?
Skated here for the first time yesterday. Had to go back for more today. You can just feel the history here as soon as you step into it. Thank you, Nike.
no matter how much you dislike Nike,you can't hate on this.
They're an evil corporation that exists off slave labor. But yes, this is pretty dope. Win some you lose some.
John Duncan what do you mean “ slave labor “
@@newvocabulary every corporation and operation under capitalism exloits someone somewhere. Since we cant do anything about it we should just accept the products.
Emir H. Abri I believe they were referring to the underpaid children they use to manufacture their products.... but ok Marx
@ Nike is a big evil corp though.... You're trying to make the argument into a false dichotomy, where I have to choose evil or evil. I don't have to do that, I can point out evil, say it's evil, and be correct.

There are pros and cons to it.
At the end of the day all company do the same thing nike! just had a bigger platform coming in to skateboarding and kinda toolkit away! From all the other company such as etnies , fallen, lakai , and many other company's did get is much exposure so when the new guys come in and get signed by nike because there so good who get exposure nike, so it takes away for other company's. Nyjah , luan , Shane , prod , Eric koston ride for nike!
But nike do be hooking it up!!!😂
Personally I don’t like the Nike brand, but hey, they’re taking care of these guys; helping them pay their mortgages, etc.
I was there recently to witness the heaven that is the new west LA courthouse. Stopped by there on a day of skating in Venice just to reminisce if you will only to find out that the place was completely renovated to what you see today. It was an amazing surprise and treat and cant wait to get back there. SOoooo many great memories at that place.
Man I want to go there and like...5-0 a ledge on the 30th try lol
This spot has been going for so long, I remember the early Girl videos and 411 vids when Koston was a kid skating this spot.
So cool to see Koston just casually still killing it!
nike is doing good.
yep, but still support the brands owned by skaters such as emerica, es, not so much addidas and nike which are only in it for the $$ since skateboarding is very ''in'' right now

"Veteran skater" like you fine I'll skate the skater-owned brands and see what changes
jacemarteez i don't understand this debate it's just shoes.
Favourite trick has to be Chris Roberts' switch manny three shuv in Hot Chocolate. stomped it.
PotatoPlop switch flip switch manny u mean
haha "what happened to the fountain"
Was nice to see this happen and also for southbank to get saved. Nice to know that skating culture is being kept alive
Fire whoever filmed that Trevor line lol
Kurt Hayashi is a legend man, I'd like to see you film better with these pros.
ViCiousV Productions Haha...Didn't film that line, only the Koston ones.
Kurt H 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
was there a couple weeks ago. im glad the fountain is back
I don't like Nike that much, but this was a pretty sick thing to do! Thumbs up Nike!
Those were the days....no worries about the world but full focus on the board and your set of wheels...off you go and skate!!
Koston is a classic!
“Still got it “
Greatest skateboarding!!!!😀😀 u guys do great things keep doing it
Gotta love that classic Koston humor...
Skateboarding is so beautiful it's Art in our eyes as skaters
that's spot looks like paradise. too bad I'm all the way in South Carolina
I think the coolest part of that kid's line is after the crooked grind nollie heel out, he goes into a board stall on the ledge and then pulls his tail over it.
Oh this spot!! Chris Cole was talking about courthouse on 9 club..
That shirt is fucking amazing
Nike's gonna have their hands full if they try to go for love park, DC put a million dollars on the table and the city of philly turned them down
nike has more than a million, and that was a while back i believe..
NEXT no DC offered a million but philly turned it down
Peter Neave
DC offered a million dollar over the course of ten years, not as a whole million.
RollAwayMedia nike sb is a whole nother fraction of nike
no shit Rip Billies
Damn, crazy seeing Koston with grey hair. still kills it though !!
They should do this for Chaffey highschool in Ontario, CA
Para mi en uno de los mejores lugares que e patinado en mi vida, gracias Manny Santiago.
I think this was a inspiration for a spot in one of the Tony Hawk games
Yeah, I hear a lot of older guys put Nike and other large corporations down for sucking the soul out of skateboarding but this is really cool. They are putting someone in charge who has their heart in the right place. If they keep doing things like this, I may buy some Nikes.
I definitely recommend them. I usually don't go for corporate skate merch, but Nike really does know what they're doing when it comes to skate shoes.
I have tried them, the pair I skated had great control, but they weren't very comfortable and tore apart in two months. I just have a preference on shoes based on personal experience.
Nah I had the hermans they have no board feel
***** god emericas are the shit...but they make some shit shoes also
*****
Hating nike became "cool" so most of the things you see on the internet is bullshit.
I am an emerica guy myself but to be real, my Romeros had the sole on the left shoe basically exploding after like two month (from the heel to like the middle of my foot it just separated from the shoe) and i might have done like two ollies in them, it was my "going to school" pair of shoes.
And my on my reynolds 3 the sole on my right shoe was just randomly popping out (bad glue i guess)
Basically outside of the G6 wich comes out as one of the best skate shoe ever (and i heard the figgy's are pretty good too) but outside of that emerica isnt that much better than anything nike does.

1993, 411VM's Eric Koston Profile!!!
That was one of my favorite parts from back then. Classic Koston skating to Gangstarr's best track.
Koston, you're a good man!
Thats really awesome to see!
I want to build a house next to that park! damN! That's perfect!!!!
The courthouse that he was skating at is the one they filmed BAD JUDGE 😂😭I miss that show
Epic Koston
It's the best spot i've ever seen
Pretty cool shit, Nike liberating skate spots
Big ups to nike. Awesome!
What a legend
I like his sense of humor.
peperruti hes a dick in person though
skizviz Never met him, if he is oh well..
I heard he is chill asf
when you met him not at a demo or contest you'll know what im talking about
I think Nike is helping to progress skateboarding more so than many other companies have worked to. I also think people are hating on them for some really dumb reasons.
Can't wait for that Jordan skate shoe.
RIP Courthouse
that is beautiful!
You forgot the roof gap!
We grew up skating here....EVERYONE is welcome. Just BE COOL! =)
2nd track Joseph Rusnak - Summer Nights 🤙😎
I'm don't mad that Nike only sees skateboarding as another market to expand into if it keeps doing cool stuff like this
This place is one of the spots in a tony hawk game.
TREVOR !!
Did I just hear…LOVE?
Hey what about the top of the stage roof is that skate able?
LOVE THE IDEA OF RESSURECTING AN OLD SCHOOL SPOT but not really feelin the colors so if they ever own a spot can you just make it an OG color.... cuz thats what the streets are all about
I agree man. It kinda looks like a "street" design made skatepark with those funky colors. Still a legendary spot though.
Sweet
love park next please
2 late boi ;(
Next renovation project should be Freedom Plaza in Washington DC
"the theater" is in tony hawk american wasteland
He looks so much like him himself in Skate 3.

Isn't this spot from the movie mid 90's?

When is that courthouse closed? And how would you be able to skate at a courthouse without cops being on your ass...?
Ok nvm that courthouse is closed now but before when it was open how they skate there?
that preme shirt is tight
Count how many time Koston said "you know"
For those of you who don't think this is an advertising campaign: 2:47
Watsup bros, In the near future I'm gonna be your typical cool skateboard UA-cam guy..with Tons of likes and subscribers. I just figured you might as well all go ahead and start now by showing the love and racking up some likes and subs. No big deal. Just saying.
How fuckin amazing would a Nike sponsored Embarcadero plaza renovation be... if only San Francisco didn't suck now
0:30 BARSSS
This was the Santa Monica Courthouse. I don't know why Eric doesn't even mention that. It got renamed the West LA Courthouse. He should have said when. I'm not looking it up.

Those ledges were red when I visited. And WTF if with the dirt!?!?!
Make freedom plaza in Washington DC a skate free spot
you know, you know, you know hahahahaha
Spot down.
As amazing as this is.... does anyone kinda think of this as a fake skate spot now (almost similar to a park) just because everything is so perfect
supersleepydude4 o its totally fake
You mean like totally skate 3 all perfect and out of nowhere, no spots like that where I live
They only changed the ledges and made it skateable.
I call it a skate park. I had an argument with a friend there about why it was a skate park.
Who really gives a shit? It's a spot. Just because you no longer run the risk of getting kicked out doesn't mean anything bad. That's nothing but good. Nothing is taken away from the spot just because they're allowed to skate there and they replaced the concrete ledges with metal ledges. It's still fucking ledges. It's still street and a good skate spot. Wtf is the problem?
What shoes is trevor wearing?
lunar stefan janoski's
can anyone skate this spot? or the nike team? I've never seen anyone else besides them here
Anybody can
They close love park
you just have 2 unlock it again
Noooooooo!!! not the fountain
FUCKING LEGENDDDDDDDD love you Eric 😂💁🏽♂️ fr tho
