As an American who visited Varanasi in my early 20's, I cannot think of a place that was more of a culture shock. I was taken on a sunrise boat tour and watching people brush their teeth next to a burning funeral pyre changed the way I saw the world forever. A detach head floated by me in the boat (some bodies are sunk rather than burned; some religious rules to the practice I won't pretend to know). These guys are HARDCORE through and through.
Man i feel you so much. This place is something like i never experience it before
It’s covered in filth and excrement.
Did you run into any of the Aghori? Maybe share a meal with them?! 😂
I sense a lot of cap with your story
When I watch people skate among dead cats (@4.00), monkeys, dogs, pilgrims on a wet temple rock surface... Fuck, this is really a culture shock. Cannot imagine what it would be like to visit.
Maybe you just didn't show it in the video but I like how everyone is just chill. They're looking in curiosity but nobody's trying to stop you from skating
Yea super chill there
I think these people have (fortunately?) other concerns to think about. Someone riding a wooden plank is the least of their worries. So they indeed do appear -- in a sense -- super chill.
Thank you guys for watching! I reposted this video with a different title and thumbnail because i feel this deserve a second chance. The skate from Varanasi are so unique. One of the craziest place I’ve been in my life.
Best skateboard documentary UA-cam channel. Love to see every time you post.
@@lumix2477 dude I’m so happy thank you
The videography and video editing in this episode was amazing. Love your work, mate!
Dude thank you so much
Fellow Canadian here. So happy you're out in the world filling this void. So many of us have been waiting for a proper travel channel showcasing the spots we skateboarders can't help but notice. Be safe and keep doing what you're doing!
Dude thank you so much!! Comment like that keep me going. Let’s get ittttt
Canada is lame
@@Tacodip420 ok taco420 😂
@@Tacodip420 you're lame
@@GlassJack what are you talking aboot?
Makes me so stoked to see this ❤
I skated in India a ton while going to boarding school there in the 80's. American kids at my school and a nearby school were on it. There's nothing like skating in India.
Hell yeah! Glad you experienced it
This is Amazing bro! Love to watch this!
You brave with a skateboard, this give us courage to go everywhere!
Keep it up G, JAH Bless you!
Thank you! Will do! 🙏
This prove Skate = Music. it brings everything together harmoniously. Culture, Religion & Country
I approved!! Skate family 🙏
there are 300 millions using french in 106 countries around the globe ,french does bring people together too ,and it s a complex and beautiful language , peace out guys
@@mathieulatour883 i talked only english in more than 40 country. My french would have not bring me to far. Anyway can i speak the language i want on my channel 😂
@@Theskatenomad all right dude , but you speak frenglish , this is fun to me , it s not english at all , enjoy , you re funny though and your ride s rather good
@mathieulatour883 French has nothing to do with this video it’s irrelevant skating is main focus here
Love seeing a new take a popularly vlogged spot! Awesome video and interaction with the skaters.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you
This was awesome. What an enviornment to skate at. Very cool.
Glad you like it man 🤝🤝
Really awesome. No re-used footage. Keep up the good work.
Thank you all original footage!
100% real Skaters ❤❤❤❤ even If someone is burning their dead ones ,they skate ❤❤❤❤❤ peace out to India
Peaceeee
This is so f'n cool. I love seeing a SkateNomad video pop up in my recommended. I'm going to have to subscribe now, these all fill me with so much hope for humanity and inspiration to skate again and try and new things (and learn new things about other cultures). Thank you for this awesome video
Ahah thank you for the sub !! Appreciate it so much
Great vibes on this one. Indian dudes has a sick style ❤
Yes they do thanks
They love them some front shoves. This video was dope thanks for posting.
Yes they do! Thanks a lot
Great video buddy, I'm really happy for you that your channel has grown this much ever since you had that dream of getting started back with this back when you passed through Madrid 🎉 keep going and good luck 🙏
You are the best! Can’t wait to schred again!
just casually skating a spot next to a dead cat lol @4:00
🥶🥶🥶
I feel bad for anyone born in that sh*thole. I'm glad some of the kids have skating to turn to. At least they didn't get their wheels caught in 💩💩💩
What’s amazing is how many people are around and no one seems to care about a literal dead animal on their steps.
SICK skate spot though hahaha
@@tomaszsmolka3737 hahahahaha
Bro this is probably my favorite episode of yours. The brick bank spot looks so cool
Thanks a lot 🙏🛹❤️
This is a very, very cool video G. Keep skating and documenting your travels!
Thank you! Will do! Appreciate it
This was dope!! Keep making more content. This is special
Thanks a lot. Working on it everyday 🙏
Mike i dont get why this channel isn't getting bigger its interesting as hell. I bet pros and the skate industry alike would watch/get behind this channel and idea. Keep it up and stay safe brother
Yeah maybe one day I’m still pretty new in the game! I grew a lot in the last few months 🤝
Thanks a lot
Est-tu un Québécois ? @@Theskatenomad
@@only_6486 yes
Another Canadian here proud to see you making such great videos. This was fascinating, thank you for sharing your adventures!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
Bro thanks for being a great inspiration to everyone your videos are the best!
Thx you so much
Your channel is very unique and interesting. lovw to see it
Thank you very much!🤝
india looks so great and beautiful in its own way! would love to visit some day
You should! It really is
Much respect to the skateboarders abroad, especially those in rural areas. I can relate with the harsh surfaces here in Indianapolis where the streets and sidewalks are not forgiving, however like that guy said "if you can skate the rough surfaces you can skate anything" 💪💪💪
Yea gotchu. There is place so rough to skate that make you better
Thats an actual spot out there 🎉
Yeah man they have so many
this is so cool. love india. thank you.
Thx you
Ayyyy another video!
Yeah 🎉🎉
Such a rad city. Awesome to see skateboarding has found it's way there. Adds to the epic texture of the culture!
Couldn't agree more!
Such a great video man!
Appreciate it! Thx you
Woooo India 🇮🇳
Yah man 🤝
Your videos are amazing ! Subscribed !!
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much
Man, you are such a great human being. I’ve been following your channel for a while now and I just wanted to say: respect!!
I’m a french dude who lives in Taiwan. If you ever come skate in this part of the world, hit me up.
Keep up the great work, my friend ✌️
Hey man thank you so much, I’m planning on coming to Taiwan in the few months! Can you message me on IG please : Mikesb_6 🤝🤝
@@Theskatenomad I just did. See you later in Taiwan 🛹
@@THEDAILYRIFF yah man 🤝🤝
I can chalk that up to the most interesting thing i've seen today! Yo, this was eye opening for sure.
Damn so happy to hear that
You guys are awesome!
🤝🤝🤝
This is amazing! I used to manage a kitesurfing school in Sri Lanka. I went down south a couple of times to kitesurf and surf in Midigama. There's a little skate bowl there, built by local skaters. You should check it out. I started blading a few years ago and would love to go back and skate it. I love your videos, man. You're living the best life.
Hell yeah i been there before!
@Theskatenomad Nice!! Good surf there too!
Live the channel. Im no skater myself, but love to see the different cultures and stuff. Also lots of sick tricks dude❤
Glad you enjoy it! More to come and thank you🙏
Thats so awesome to have a scene over there big respect to all the skaters keeping it alive and fun.....Was that a random dead cat @4:00 ??
Great culture there! Yea it was a sleeping cat
after seeing skaters in Tibet, Bhutan and a skatepark in North Korea, I’m hardly surprised to see skaters anywhere else in the world now… but this video is AMAZING! Travelling with a skateboard means easily getting to know the local skaters… I wish I was good enough to pull that off!
There is skater everywhere. You have to be good to pull it off i suck and i made it my full time job
some of these lines 🔥 and probs to the filmers!
🙏
Thx 🙏
Nice fluid skating style! That was great
Glad you enjoyed it
India has always seemed like a magical place to me as well
Yes it is
Your joking right.
@@matton36 it’s the dream of many
@@Theskatenomad Really, so why do so many Indians migrate to the west and virtually zero westerners migrate to India!
@@matton36 always different to travel and live somewhere. How many month you spent in India?
The architecture of the city is amazing. This video is cool
Thx a lot 🤝🤝
That's crazy, I've also met Brett Novak while skateboarding before and he is a really cool dude on top of being an excellent filmmaker and dedicated skater.
No way would love to meet him
That was one of the hardest skate edits I ever seen
Thanks a lot man. It mean a lot
amazing. blessed by yt recommended
I'm glad they recommended my channel 🙏
This video is badass love it bruh keep up the good work! From Canada!!!
Glad you enjoyed! 🇨🇦🙏
:D@@Theskatenomad
Amazing to see skateboarding reaching in real time.
Couldn't agree more! More to come
Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen an Indian skater before.
Oh damn! Plenty on my channel i spent 3 month there
It's so nice to see that skateboarding connects so much! Thanks for your work, you made my day!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU
Bro! dope video, SUBSCRIBED
Thanks for the sub!🤝
O wow. They are skating now? The contrast of dimensions and time🎉
Right such a special moment
So freakin good!
🙏🤝🤝❤️
Sick shredding brohs
Thx man
I’ve never been to India but I love watching stuff about India. I saw bald and bankrupt go to Varanasi a few years ago and I’ve been loving India ever since. Great people, great country, great skaters. I will come see it for myself one day.
Yah man it’s going to be time for you to go soon
Incredible!
Thanks a lot 🤝
Dead cat at 4:00. Sick vid, Really amazing.
Rip :(
Skateboarding really is a lifestyle.
Anywhere in the world, we skaters are very look aloke, in dress, ideas, etc.
Hello from Brazil.
Yes indeed
I literally came back from India this morning and was in Varanasi a couple days ago. Never thought about skating in Varanasi haha
Ahaha you can skate almost everywhere! 🙏
This is beautiful man
🤝🤝🤝
You deserve way more subs
Thx a lot
Those are some crazy spots, I wanna skate them 🙌
They are!
Its my gf’s dream to go to india and this spot is a must after watching this. Maybe we can skate with them too! After watch a movie titled ‘LION’ couple months ago this whole thing become a must !
Sure man hit them up they are super nice! India is a crazy place 🤝🤝
Depending on the race of your girlfriend that’s a very funny dream
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 well i know why India would be a dream for many but definitely not for everyone
these guys are rad!
I agree!!
That one line where nomad hit the stairs . He was like guys we can skate over here it’s not that bumpy 😂
Ahahaha dude yeah. The only flat spot of the city 😂
Interesting place for sure
Really entertaining
sick video man
Appreciate it🤝
Man I would love skating there!
Letsgoo
didnt know they were chill like that
Of course
This was sick. Skateboarding is a universal language.
Yes it is!!
Come to brazil my brother! We are waiting for u to make our part of your history
Can’t wait to be there
Killian martin did a video here i believe. Very cool.
Yes i said it in this video
The conditions these guys have to skate in are commendable alone, damn. Getting around and adapting to all the BS just HAS to make their quest to get good at skating ten times harder.
Man it’s so crazy! Inspiring for sure
yoooo this is so sick!!
Glad you like it!!
Awesome .. great, great video 👏👏 this reminds me of Gurus on the Gangi's, (free on UA-cam)... It's Mark Suciu, Sean Malto, and i think Nestor Judkins and someone else... It's a Skateboarder Magazine filming trip during THE largest gathering of people in the world ever.
Love it! Watch it recently. Thx you but my video is filmed and editing on iphone in one day. Cannot really compared
Cool video
Thx a lot
Have you ever tried piso skateboard which one is better hearty or piso
I soo miss Varanasi.
Same
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🙏🙏
7:22 so fire, hippy jump with a view
Yeahhh
Go to Taiwan ( Taoyuan, Zhongli and Taipei ). I have so many friends there and they are all good skaters
Coming soon! Can you please contact me on IG : mikesb_6
I accidently cracked one of the Varanasi skaters board when I visited there. Young kid had a really beaten up board. I wanted to show him how to kickflip. I heard a slight crack when landing it and felt so bad. He had got it from his uncle who brought it as a gift from USA. :E
Oh no. Should have buy him a new one!!
@@Theskatenomad True, I should. I had no idea where to buy one in Varanasi though.
awesome
🤝🤝🤝
this video is dope
Thx man
well what amazes me is that this is supposed to be a sacred land, or city, soil, whatever you wanna call it... and they don't seem to bother people skating. You do that anywhere near a church in europe you you'll probably get busted.. such a chill place, unfortunatelly it's not a very skate friendly pavement
Yes i agree!! Super hard place to skate but the people there like it! I think…
Thank those guys for skating & not scamming
I spent 3 month in India, never got scam one time
"its like fuckin hard to skate there" that seemed like an understatement : D
Ahah right
I've spent around 6 months of my life in Varanasi at different times (3 years in India/Nepal overall.) Drinking a bhang lassi (ancient cannabis edible that is no jooooke!) and chilling on the ghats, watching the craziness of India go by, is one of the most incredible experiences in the world. And if you ever go, don't miss the Nepali Temple a bit before sunset. It's a magical place.
Never saw the skaters, but just walking through Varanasi takes 100% concentration (cow shit, my bros, everywhere), so skating there is ever so sick.
Omg 6 month i cannot even imagine. One week there transform me
love and respect from Cape Town.
Yea 🇿🇦
What size wheel do u recommend for the spots in this city
Big 54mm
I fuggin love varanasi..
Same
skaters are the best people in the world this is legendary
Yes they are
This is so rad
Thx you
very unique video! loved this!
Thank you so much!!
I love Varanasi!!!! I didn’t see any skaters there when I went! I’d have been so stoked!!!!
Yea they are there but pretty rare
@@Theskatenomad thank you so much for this! I spent like a month or two there in like 2000 (I was living down in M.S.)and it lives in my heart still. Gave me such chills seeing you skate places I remember walking past and thinking about skating. Like you ***feel*** the age right?!? I saw a painting from like 2k years ago or something and the ghats looked the same down to that weird half sunk temple!!!
I'm a native, haven't seen any here either😂
@@aspirus_maximus there is 3-4 of them
4:00 dude almost landed on a dead cat 😂 😂
Yes almost
Ngl their spot is gnarly thats why they too gnarly too
Yes they are
Homie with the blue flannel is steezy as fuck
I agree!!
4:05 best shred of thr 📹
