Вставка

- It’s not just what they did, but where they did it, and what they named it. Hubba Hideout cemented the importance of location more than any other spot. In episode 2, Ted shifts from EMB to the most famous ledge in the history of skateboarding.

Stoked you guys are doing these, not only for myself, but also for the younger and new skaters that have no knowledge of skate history
RESPECT TO YOU MY FRIEND✌
look who it is....
@@stutzy64 YOU KNOW MY FRIEND,RESPECT..🤪
Did I hear correctly from somewhere that the spot got its name from a homeless person named Hubba that once called the space their home? (Replying to this comment in the hope my question catches some traction) Keep up the story telling @ThrasherMagazine.
@@chrispullar The first explanation I remember hearing was from James Kelch who just said Hubba = crack and both homeless people and office workers nearby would smoke crack in that pedway/staircase because it blocked away prying eyes from the street. Hence the "hideout" part of the name.
More Ted please! A smart dude as an ambassador fir skating is actually a breath of fresh air!
Who is Ted?
@@ThePatriotParadoxthe guy talking
i second this, more Ted! His research and chronicling of these spots is very in depth and explained so well. More SF spots and some NY ones would be epic.
@samuraiman7777 never pro, super sick skater tho, he rips. I think he's like an art historian or something by trade.
The crossover between Architectural Digest and Thrasher that we didn't know we needed.
It's brilliant how Ted is doing these. Putting that PhD in architecture to work.
This is a great series. Please keep it going. 👍🏻
For real!!!! Do every spot ever
Yes! No complaints here! ❤
Well.. they could be way longer and I‘d still suck in every minute 😅
The Dern brothers started this first. They have covered 10 spots at least all ready.
Dope as man,the truth,respect to you and yours from new zealand
it is great to see people who have no idea what they are talking about
These two episodes narrated by Ted are my favorite contribution to skateboarding in many years. I feel a pier 7 episode coming soon!
These pieces are so good, would love for this series to continue. Public space should be public for everybody, preserving this history and encouraging community spaces be inviting and accessible is one of the coolest ways skateboarding can be a net positive in the world. I’m not a genius but Ted might be.
More of this please! I could watch a whole documentary on old spots. Great work!
I love the fact that this isn't just a spot chronicle, but also an insight into a larger socio-economic and urban context of the spot! Thanks for this series 🖤
This is such a brilliant, intellectual series. The modern architecture nerd in me is really geeking out on it.
It's a college level lecture. I hope to see more episodes.
Man this hits home, I was down there the day they started demolishing it, didn’t know it was happening at all, was so sad
Can you make these like 15 minutes a pop? The combination between skate history, architectural and local history, and general musings are a super compelling mix. The vibe is perfect in these too- just laidback, casual, but still mad informative.
At least! 30mins - hour would be better!
I went there when I was in my teens. I just barely started skating so I had no business being there, but had to see it IRL after seeing it on countless clips on 411VM.
Absolutely fantastic. I lived in SF from 96 to 2001 in many skate houses, it was a formative part of my life. This piece brought back a lot of memories, and I learned a few things!
I grew up in SoMa in the 90s and spots like Hubba and EMB were so important to my childhood skating around the city. Thanks so much for these historical deep dives, I know Phelps would have loved this series
Amazing series, Hubba Hideout was internationally legendary. I'm from a small town in the UK, and everyone with a board knew the spot. Keep up the great work 🙏
Love these, can't wait for the next one!
Went to Hubba once on a pilgrimage. The thing looked way longer and higher in person. And the bricks and run-up gave it extra gnar. No park imitation could compare, especially without the bricks.
These episodes have been great! Very informative. 90’s skateboarding is my absolute favorite era. I’m sensing a Peir 7 episode on the horizon.
As a skateboarder who became an architect, I am like a kid in a candy store with this mini-series. Thank you for this.
As someone with a mild interest in city planning and urban design (1000+ hours in Cities Skylines....) I really appreciate how deep this goes. The history of spots is the history of cities is the history of people.
you really tried to flex 1000+ hours in cities skylines 😂
so cool
@@nicdean101Lolol that’s a mad ting
The fuck?! Lol
OK there bud
Now i'm flooded with so many good skate memories watching this. Foundations rolling thunder is one of my all time favorite skate videos and steve olsons part is so good. He did so many rad tricks down the hubba.
Lets go!! Legendary!! Skateboard history 101🛹🛹🙌🏽🙌🏽
Put together so well
This was the most eloquent thing I have ever seen on Thrasher. Thanks!
This is fascinating, more of this and the DIY series please
hard
This is good skate content. This guy is awesome, actually can speak intelligently and give interesting information about skaters but also art history and the history of the city. A nice break from the regular skater bro content
Please make more of these! Ted is a great host.
This is a genuinely great dissertation on urban architecture
This old ledge has become some of my favorite videos. Keep this going! Great work
Thank you for that. I really miss the old SF sessions.Skated there back in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Brought back memories of the simpler times. Miss Those days and I miss Hubba’s hide out. Scary ledge big time. Never forget the session Karl Watson form ipath and his crew had out there one day. Chris pastras from stereo ftc and think skateboards. Lol pancho moler ,Tim McKenny and Craig Carroll ,great people and had fun watching the local Bay Area pros skate . If you guys see this comment I hope all you guys are well and thank you for being so cool when I was a youngster. Great time to watch the industry grow massively. 🇺🇸👊🏻🍻 to anyone who grew up in the Bay Area during that time of skateboarding.
This series has been one of the best things ive seen made in a long time. Everything is beautifully worded and described and has such history and heart
This is so sick. I started skating in 1999 so all these spots give me goosebumps. KEEP DOING MORE!
I skated hubba hideout with my brother and some friends back in the late 90s.. some of the best memories of my childhood
This bright back real feelings and real memories..... We need more videos like this
Oh the FTC days. Huf. Jovontae. Chico. Scott Johnston. Jeron. This film brings back a lot of memories.
man this series is AMAZING
Never skated it or could skate ut, but this was the wholy grail of Pro street skatjng in mid 90’s. Incredible efforts, culture, and people will forever share this.
I’d kill, kill to see or even be able to talk about classic San Diego spots too. Courthouse ledge, the big pink c ledge, those Chula round ledges, Carlsbad gap, lord knows we’ve got too many. This segment is legit amazing. Great filming, narration, history, everything. So great.
Another great episode guys! Keep 'em coming Brendan, Ted, & Thrasher
I bought some stickers from him years ago and he included a poem with it that Til this day I recite when I'm stressed. Ted is a legend in his own right.
Great job guys! Cant wait for the next one!
Love this series, Oakland courthouse maybe?
Best Ted talk yet.
This has to be one of the best series y’all have done.
great job on this to all involved! we have to document our history and this is a perfect example of how.
This series is good beyond a UA-cam comment.
Makes me wanna go watch the old OnVideo section about Hubba. Liking this series a lot
These are so good! Wish they were like 30mins to an hour long! Thank you! Legendary History
These are great because they actually offer insight into the spot from an architectural and historical stand point rather than just listing a bunch of tricks that have been done like a lot of similar series to this have done. Keep them coming!
This is the greatest thing Ive watched on tubees in a long time.
Beautifully thought and executed series.. Keep it going please!
Love this series and how it gives the history and context to these iconic spots from an educated source. Also, shoutout to Steve Olson, why does he not get mentioned more. I've been a fan since Fulfill the Dream came out.
Yeah for sure, some people get recognized as legends and others get forgotten about for unknown reasons, perhaps not being friends with people in the media but all those tricks he did down it were mind blowing
He's mentioned all the time 😐
The man definitely left a mark. Didn't look or skate like anyone else, then or now.
I seriously could watch hours of this series! Excellent work
I remember going there in 1998 while on holidays from Australia. Had bought a board at FTC and spent a week skating around SF and Oakland and thought I'd visit the infamous Hubba Hideout to see what I could throw down. Nothing. That's what I threw down. Such an intimidating spot. Higher than you think and rough as anything with sketchy people everywhere. I ollied down it and then walked away to skate something smaller.
skateboarding and architecture, love it
I miss SF but I know it’ll never be the same
Wonderful synthesis of skateboarding, architectural, social and linguistic history.
id go to school if Dr. Ted was the teacher
You should check out my teacher, Dr. Mary J Uana
@@alexdelacotte9031 learn to burn!
He's working in the same ideological messaging as literally any university professor.
He made architecture seem so much cooler then what it already is
Tell jenkem that
Irony of ironies: Those pigears are made out of aluminum. I used to collect them after fixing spots, and there's a bucket of them back home sitting in a junk pile that's probably worth a few hundos.
Awesome series btw.
U could trade em for some hubba lol
@@oghash4912 lol, or go full villain and start reinstalling them
Loving this series.
Damn Ted is the coolest he was a perfect pick for these videos! Thank you Thrasher!
I'm glad I got a trick down it before it was demolished. Saw so many tricks go down there. I was stoked on the underground ish like Antwan switch hard flip. Airto switch front 180 flip, Lavar switch back tail, I remember watching Lavar try to switch back tail it and he broke his arm. He slammed and when he stood up his arm was all tweaked looking. He started yelling, "take me to the hospital, take me to the hospital!" Some random dude grabbed him and carried him off. None of us had cars so we had to trust dude was taking the homie to the hospital. Haven't thought about that in a long time. RIP Hubba.
Absolutely love this series! I've always been fascinated with the history of these legendary spots. Please keep this going
Amazing. Already waiting for the next episodes.
Dudes spittin some architecture history! So good.
A legendary spot. 👍👍
So good! 2 for 2. My new favorite show
came here for entertainment and got a little history lesson on top. Well done and may this spot rest in peace!
this is absolutely new favourite series!
My fav spot to skate on session game, they faithfully recreated this place.
I’ll literally pay money to keep this series going
🧢
Literally?
these are incredible. more please. ❤
Skateboarding history and architecture lesson. Fantastic video.
shout out ted for his feedback series on IG, miss your old content every day
Yes, Thrasher! Keep it going! Ted is a great host and this series could go 20 episodes more of legendary spots that are no longer with us.
Why have I been sleeping on this? That was fucking amazing!
Really enjoying this series.
Really like this architectural point of view when talking about spots
Damn, this series is amazing, thanks Thrasher!
For real, keep ‘em coming
More of this please ! 👍🏼
Love this series
Fred Gall Trasher was my first Skateboard Magazine I bought in Brazil when I started to skate.
this is the best Thrasher thing being made right now, thank you Ted
Really well done! Rad history there.
more of this please 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like Ted. Always smart, cool and he knows about a ton of stuff
Very cool
These videos are absolutely delicious. Cultured historical opinions about skate spots... Really, just perfect! Hope you keep them coming!!
Can we have a Ted show? he's pleasing to listen to and acknowledgeable.
the adek and malvo tags on the hubba though with the shot of jack curtin though. soo good
I’m loving this series.
These are mind blowing - keep going please.
This is such a good series
We need more skate documentary series, films, short films, etc. It feels like more than ever we need to document the present and the past. Things move so quick that we forget. Gotta give skate history its due while we still remember.
Love skating and love architecture so this video hits the spot!
Did not remember ever seeing Jose Rojo's bs flip fakie nosegrind... What a beautiful one!
It's like watching On Video again, this is a great series
Thrasher slowly winning me back with Jenkemesque content after the Tyshawn SOTY debacle
THAT S AN AMAZING CLASS. LOVED IN THE END " THTAS PART OF OUR LANGUAGE TODAY AND I THINK THATS PRETTY COOL"
This is one of the best series I have seen. Orator is incredible.
