I know man!! I look forward to all the vods, but the spot history ones brings out my inner nerd and makes me feel like a 13 yr old analyzing skate videos again
out of all of them seeing the pit was most nostalgic, i had flash backs of all the skate videos when i was younger such a hidden memory gen unlocked ,thanks
you guys are like the scribes of skating. lots of people have made documentaries and stuff, but you are the most qualified voice for these spots. hope you make it north and east too
You know I wouldn’t be opposed if you guys had a Patreon where you guys had a monthly fee for bonus content. I fucking love this channel and watch every video when I see one so I would def support it
I skated the pit once. it was when venice was starting to get exspensive and people were complaining about the genetrification back in 97 or 98. cant imagine venice now. been a long time since i was there. during the day it was pretty chill, but people said to leave at night cause the cholos come in.
This was so cool to find! Thanks so much! I was wondering what happened to the pavilion and searching the internet and couldn’t really find what I was looking for , saw this video and answered all my questions and I love skateboarding so finding this was perfect! Thanks again!
Loving this spot history like the rest of the series. I was lucky enough to fly from NC to LA twice while in high school (Summer '99, Fall '00). Each time, my friends & I made the pilgrimage to Venice. The Pavilion/Pit were still there in '99. It was a dream come true to be there, especially after the Mouse video being watched so many times. The place smelled like old piss & full trashcans. Insanely lucky to just happen to be there when a few well-known skaters started rolling up to the hubba out back (Jeremy Wray, Pontus Alv I believe) . Then, more started showing up (Erik Ellington, Dustin Dollin, others I can't remember). Then more filmers started showing up (Rick Kosick, Atiba Jefferson). It turned into a huge get-together of so many different pros & teams. It was surreal. Chatted it up w/them & basically sat back & watched. A moment I'll never forget. The next year in '00, it was gone. The beginnings of the new Venice Pavilion had already been created, & it was such a different look/feel to what it used to be. Way before the current skatepark was built. Kinda like a beach plaza park. Chimneys & a few walls still tagged, basically decor in the sand. It was still fun & a treat to even be in LA @ that time, but it wasn't the same as the year prior. Great, great times! Brought some headies from CA back to NC for the homies, too. 😅
Sic that looks like such a fun skatepark. They got little stair sets and little hand rails to mess around and learn some tricks on then u got the bigger stair set and handrail to go big on
I remember going to cali back in 2002 and being well gutted that the pit was gone- I did paint the wall and have a skate though. Great vid as always dudes
I skated the pit in jr high. It was really hard to sk8 the ledges were so chunky and round all you could do is noseslide / bs or blunts. 5050 would ruin your trucks lol Still cool nostalgia. The only thing you didn’t mention was the famous curb spot but I guess your focus in the pit area of remnants. There used to be sand gaps and pillars as well. The vid woulda been too long that could be it’s own vid. I think they redid the curb square shape. They all used to be rounded. Rem Tim Gavin noseblunt pop over
I got a cool random Muska story. So we skipped school to shred Venice on a weekday. Muska and homies were filming on the hubba back then. My homie had a handy cam and filmed Muska saying “ Michael you shoulda come skating dawg you missed out bro” Our homie didn’t wanna skip so we tried to make him feel like a wuss lol the tape is gone as no one could keep track of vhs 📼 and there was no where to edit it post it. Wish we still had it. Filmed Muska on some noseslides and warmups. He was all all decked out in his sweatpants and had the boom box. It was iconic. I can’t believe it. It’s like a faded memory now. If we had smart phones I wish lol
How about the famous curbs? Natas skated there in Streets on Fire (and A Reason for Living) and so did Eric Dresden in Speed Freaks. I’ve also seen recent clips of Chris Roberts skating there.
The best brothers with the best content & memories. That’s a wild freaking place being from the east coast. Not a dis but a sterling area in California I would love to ride bmx. I know it’s frowned upon for bmxers to ride that park. What ya think?
Hey guys when you put up footage could you maybe also note which part it's from? There's so many clips I wanna go watch the full part of but don't wanna spend forever foraging for them lol GOOD WORK OTHER THAN THAT 🙏
Venice is a hectic and crazy vibe but there's really no other place like it! I always recommend checking it out if you haven't been. Just remember it will be a little wacky, dirty and full of characters.
I don't think that was Jeff Ho. I think that was actually Bennett Harada. Jeff Ho owned the zephyr shop n surfed n made sure boards mainly. I think I got that right.
damn i miss skating so bad. i also wish i grew up on you guys' side of the US! Im over in PA in country areas. wasnt as much options but we made it work haha
@zang.will ripping the bowl!!
Thank you! We forgot to ask him what his @ was when we were there so we could have properly credited him! 🙌
It was also in the first PlayStation Tony hawk pro skater
@@CloudSeedzno, it was in the second one
@@PanekPL oh nice ! Thanks! I have not thought about that for 20 years until today 🤣💪✌️
Dern Bros, you're killing it with this spot history series. I can't get enough.
I know man!! I look forward to all the vods, but the spot history ones brings out my inner nerd and makes me feel like a 13 yr old analyzing skate videos again

Once again, another great video!
Great video! I love your musical selections. Hyped to be a new sub, here.

Never disappoint
Freedom plaza and the gold trail in dc would be a sickass episode! But for real ask the episodes are good no matter where y’all go! 💪💪💪💪💪💪
So I’m guessing the 9 stair ledge is long gone now? That used to show up in a ton of 90s skate vids.
Bro! No mention of the iconic curbs?!
Sic that looks like such a fun skatepark. They got little stair sets and little hand rails to mess around and learn some tricks on then u got the bigger stair set and handrail to go big on
One of the coolest skate spots to ever exist anywhere. And in THPS 2. Guys ender in mouse? Switch shuv to switch crook the whole bench? Dope.
Also those fallens
The dern brothers rip 💯
The clips from SKT hard LET'S GOOOO
Loving your content lads. You are amazing. Nice videography too. Great film making. Amazing skating 👌
I can still smell the mix of ocean air and piss. Man I miss skating Venice
It's always a benihana! Hahahaha that reporter took that like a champ.
I remember going to cali back in 2002 and being well gutted that the pit was gone- I did paint the wall and have a skate though. Great vid as always dudes
Grew up in California and went to venice to ride bmx many times. Never knew about the pit area until just now. Looked cool!
My favorite video ❤😂

Sick Ass Video bros 👏👏👏👏👏

Destin can you upload a video where your hair is different in every shot? Like different colors and shapes? Please hahaha

love the strung out t
Good job you guys
This was my suggestion… you’re all welcome
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Didn't know venice skatepark was built in 2009. I always wondered why it wasn't in the tony hawk games.
What is the song is 3:08?
playa killed that bowl!
Circus flip was cool
What was the movie in the beginning around 1 minute 20 seconds ? So old I haven’t watched that in forever
Thrashin
Dam I remember we used to take the bus to Venice and spend all day in the pavilion. Good times
Legends
Pero aun existe ese spot donde se rodó thrashin y varias peliculas?
7:05 shout out guy in bucket hat staring down the camera 😂
Great vid!
Thps map was lit 🔥
Who was it that ollied off the roof in the introductiry montage?

That music track is called Hot for Preacher
LA has many many great skateparks. Venice is just one.

you guys can really skate earned a sub!
I don't think that was Jeff Ho. I think that was actually Bennett Harada. Jeff Ho owned the zephyr shop n surfed n made sure boards mainly. I think I got that right.
One of the best THPS levels EVER
Debatable
Never new that was at Venice until right now
damn i miss skating so bad. i also wish i grew up on you guys' side of the US! Im over in PA in country areas. wasnt as much options but we made it work haha
