Skate World: Sweden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Our first episode of Skate World: Sweden finds us in Malmo, where the ever motivated Pontus Alv and friends show the true meaning of DIY spirit. From their beginnings at the now defunct Savanna Side to the straight rawness of the Train Banks Spot the Malmo skaters take matters into there own hands when it comes to street spots.

wearing a helmet while finger skating. now that's ultimate safety
r4nd3l h 😂😂😂im dead
Yeah, finger skating is more dangerous that's why we don't wear it during normal skating
😂😂😂
Kärlek. Bara kärlek till det här klippet
Så sant!!!
sunairjet jajemen
Skateboard high school?! That would be a dream for me here in the states.
Yeah, they should start one up here in the UK too.
It got into a lot of trouble, one coach systematicly tortured pupils
@@ehrich1378 really? Damn..
@@isak8059 @Ehrich That was at another skateboard school, not from the high school depicted in this video.
a finland edition of this would be amazing!
Seeing the girl skateboarder was awesome, I'm learning how to skate now
started to skate this summer after 15 years or so off the board!!!awesome to skate again...
morty_ falch how are you guys doing today?
Dominique Harris how you doing now?
Whats your best trick after 4 years
I'm moving to Sweden. Pontus and the dude who obviously is an awesome dad are rad as hell.
best thing in life traveling around and go skating
I've never been to Sweden but I reckon it is the best country in the world.
its very peceful and every school has drug dealers.
Isak Romsi hahaahhahahahaa this is so right
Isak Romsi that's every country though hahaha
Its great but sucks for skating
You have an playlist called ”favoriter” witch are Swedish for favorits. Explain that!
Jag bor i SBG, är 13 år och åker skateboard alla dar i veckan. Jag älskar Skateboard!!!!!
This is just what skateboarding should be like, Friends hanging out and having a good time. If only things we're still like this, Good thing we have people like these.
there should be a whole skate scene on texas. no one skates here and everyone sees skaters as targets for voilence and discrimination, if california is skate heaven then texas is skate hell. ive experienced more hate for riding a piece of wood than ive ever experienced in my life.
AsaLSB which area of texas? lol
AsaLSB There's parks in Buda, Seguin, Kerrville Austin, Corpus, Port Aransas as well El Paso. I assume everywhere else too ( Dallas Houston ect)
+AsaLSB UA-cam MAJER crew
One of the best crews in the states out of texas.
+AsaLSB "riding a piece of wood" xD ok
as i like to say and share with folks in other similar vids / groups, i absolutely love seeing this ! and like the game of chess; which is called the great equalizer. no matter who you are, what language you speak, what color you are, what economic background you come from, chess is chess and anyone can play against anyone. same goes for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, they are also great equalizers, it is universal, no matter if you from Canada, Kenya, Australia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Russia, japan, that all love to skate and are doing the same things, as well as creating new tricks. enjoying it, having the same passion and love, no matter who they are or where they are. skating and skate-parks are universal.
the world has a lot to learn from Sweden... and not only skate wise, but everything else. they are truly superior.
like what are they superior in? i live in malmö i would love to know ur opinion
mentality. constructive attitude towards issues, of all kind. openness, intelligence. the overall psychology of the swedes/nordic people is different than that of the rest of the europe, at least.
***** Like not legalizing weed because swedish politicans and scientist relies on old scientific propaganda. Really a country that is ruled by the goverment.
*****
hahaha, kanske för dig, jag gillar malmö kanske pga mångkultur.
Marcus, det är ju inte alls sant.
Dang...Sweden is rad. Gonna have to take a journey someday.
As a Swede, it find it chilling to read this comment. It used to be a great place. Nowadays it's simply a gangster's paradise with daily gang shootings in most of the bigger cities.
I DIDNT SEE A SINGLE SCOOTER AT THOSE PARKS
OH GOD THIS IS GLORIOUS
What an a amazing person, really look up to pontus he seems a really humble dude
i remember watching this video over and over and it inspired me to skate and make my own skate spot
"If you have an idea, do it. Do it now." 04:48
Words to live by!
this is insane!!! swedish skateboarders are soo underrated. amazing style, good trick selection, skates fast, how much more can you rip??! TWO THUMBS UP :)
Stapelbäddsparken
Jo, många vill det. Det är ju gråa och trista Sveriges motsats. Mycket mera öppet och trevligt.
Amazing to see skate dudes keeping it alive even in such no-go situations, especially the girl, only girl around there skating and staying motivated, bless you honey, you really made an example outta evryone.
One love.
12:25 Young Chuck Norris xD
i WISH norway could follow this example.... we got the money... or at least the state!
Turns out that watching skating is quite enjoyable when there is no obnoxious music on.
Good stuff vice!
"the atmosphere around the spot is as important as the spot itself"
This. This x10.
Wow it's so good to see a DIY scene alive and well. I know of one homemade skate park in my town built around an abandoned building. the council came and put a bigger fence up once they found out
Best idea for a show in a very long time, i hope you guys can show the rest of the world too, can't wait to see more.
This is why i love skating, because you could go to the most random park and feel accepted.
I really enjoy the fact, that you put "What's so Strange about me?" By Claus Grabke's Band at the beginning!
Albert Nyberg has a line at the Train bank spot (02:03) in his ''Ten years of happiness'' video. Pretty cool.
I love risk takers! It takes courage to challenge the unknown.
So much woods and green in Sweden, im inpressed + there is a lots of handsome and gorgeous gals and pals there XD
Anyone know where you can build your own skate spots?
In your backyard maybe?
aww :,( how i miss skateboarding used to skate back in the day as well late 90s early 2000s just hate how life makes u grow up
A great video that really captures the DIY aspect of swedish skating.
I skated with some of these guys when they were up here in Skellefteå and they still rip hard.
Please please please keep this series going.
Scandinavia is "officially": Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
From a cultural aspect it consists of: Denmark, the Faroese Isles, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
21:22, I'm in the background of that clip, it's from about 7 years ago, the park is gone now but it was basically the place i learned to skate, damn i miss that place.
Best documentary yet. I'm so hyped to go skate.
This is so close to my home town... and VICE was there... :(
9:52 Rest in rip parking lot
I will always remember you
I don't know much about skateboarding in Europe so this is dope :). Thanks.
Such a good documentary. I love when Vice does skateboarding!
pontus alv is amazing!
That indoor skatepark is frickin nice
actually... Humlan... Östermalms torg...
Like 2 km from södra station...
Being from Finland, this is exactly how it was in the 90s. Trilla dope!
"You met them once, you know them for life"
Skateworld : netherlands!!!
Beter wel
17:10 i love his air time
I'd like to think there's a Skate Scene everywhere. I lived in the Philippines and started skating there, Moved to Singapore and there was a massive skate scene there, Moved to ABU DHABI and DUBAI and there were tons of skaters there, went to Lebanon to snowboard and instead skated an old museum with a 100 kids, Afghanistan has a skate scene as well. You know what's funny I went to the famous cities where skating is supposedly big and all i saw was kids with supreme caps posing with a baker deck
It is called Malmö not Malmo.
I'm getting a board ordered tomorrow i gave up skating when i was 10, Time to get back into it.
You HAVE to go to Copenhagen and explore the skating scene there!!
Man, I love skating
Best Vice : skate so far!
please keep this series going, this is so sick
you guys have to do a san jose episode! not sf..sf too but specifically sj but be so so sick
Hey Vice, thank you for those great Skateboardingdocumetarys !
Vice documentary are damn good!
Wow I think I wanna visit Sweden.
Very good film Vice.
Ahhhh i wish i could move back to sweden....
Malmö have so many good places to skate 😀
Nice one Vice, i love to live hear! Did not get the feeling for skating but BMX and dirt/downhill is my thing and im glad i can go allmost ever were and ride with out think about getting chased away!
this was the best school ever. Peace, bryggan
Love looking at skating, but never tried. looks awesome, hell even rappers are skating now !
25:01 Amazing view. Imagine having an office like that.
Yes, shot it Saturday night. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the skater, but people there will know him.
nice piece of history.
theyre so gnarly
Depends, on extended usage it is. Since the countries are so similar.
the perfect skatescene.
LMAO 12:10 dude said "Oxie is a rough neighborhood" what the fuck is this? ONLY high middle class people live in Oxie and it is by no means a rough neighborhood
i like ur last name
Not really
maybe he refers to that its a boring area to live in, nothing to do so its "rough" to live there :P
Scandinavia: Sweden (my home country), Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland
Like this is awesome and all, but i would be really cool seeing the skate culture in gothemburg too!
greetings from Sweden and keep on skatin :)
What a great dad
vice kicks ass!
@sc0tte1 sweden accually is in the top ten esport countries currently with the NIP counterstrike team. So playing video games is also a plus to them.
I went skating in Sweden, and a refugee stole my board. He began to eat it for the carbohydrates, fats and essential minerals.
If skater were supported and parks built like they do in Sweden, there wouldn't be such a problem. Sweden is doing it right.
Yall should come skate Gaste in Lund! Dope skate as well!
Proud to be swedish and seeing this :D
Please do a documentary on Scottish Skateboarding! And thanks for the Rattray Epicly Later'd!! We need more of that!
i'm surprised they were so close to my own hometown
I was born right in this town! Malmo!
In the english speaking countries they dont really use the term "the Nordic countries", so the word scandinavia means Sweden, Norway, denmark and finland for them, but in sweden the word "skandinavien" only means sweden, norway and Denmark
wow, that was really amazing
i love smaller european countries skate scenes because its all about the vibes and has nothing to do with money or the skate industry
Do you genuienly believe that? We've got supreme wearing, Nike Dunk buying twats too
The closest skate park from me is in Umea, thats like four hours from here!
did anybody notice how modern looking their skating style was in 95 ? , they were ahead of their time.
Yeah, i think we started in third grade, but i was in third grade in like 96 so it might be earlier nowadays:) But we also do not dub TV shows etc, so we tend to learn english from watching series and movies aswell. We only use subtitles.
Love Pontus Alv, If you like rough and motivated skating, check their vids from
Polar Skate Co
Gilla om du är svensk!
Avve N hallå där
I love pieces like this because it reinstates my belief in humanity, It proves that the ills that many thrust upon people that aren't like them are both conquerable and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Kudos Sweden! Way to put your energy in achieving a common good as opposed to dwelling on the pitfalls that sometimes just occur in life.I'm tired of people fixating on the bad when the good is bitch slapping them in the face!
John Magnusson is actually known for strapping a baby to his chest when he skates. What a legend.
wasn't this called "Skate Europe" and was on Netflix like this time last year?
Please do a documentary about the Irish skate scene
