Bring this series back in full swing. Patrick O’Dell has been nailing skateboarding docs for over a decade
Seriously I still watch old eps. They def need to bring it back
Amen
He's by far the best at it. I wish that at some point,everything comes together and we get a full Tom Penny documentary done by Patrick O'Dell. And I hope it isn't TV friendly but done trough some channel where everything can be said. Kinda like the old episodes.
Yeah epicly later'd is one of the pieces of the old internet I feel like I'll always come back and revisit. Among my favorite skate related things, and maybe documentary series outside of skateboarding.
the best
I will never forget this ramp.
So many legendary memories and busts.
big busts
Best skateboarder that ever lived. I was lucky enough to see the Foundation team in 1995. A demo on a tennis court in Collier, Tennessee. Brad Staba, Josh Beagle and Heath Kirchart were the only people I recognized....I was 13 and had only been skating a couple years. Heath was blasting kickflips and frontside 360s over head high off a little jump ramp. Still have the pictures I took on a crappy little disposable camera. I got Heath to sign my shirt and I'm wearing it in my freshman year school picture
He's still alive
@@SkatinOnTrees He doesn't skate any more though.
meh.... admittedly, he was good, BUT he was not great. he was never truly one of the "greats" of skateboarding. even in his time, he was not even in the top 10 of skaters.
Quick to forget Rodney Mullen I see
@@dankquixote completely different skaters. Mullen was the godfather of creating tons of tricks but you definitely aren't going to see him grinding 20 stair handrails or kickflipping 15 stairs.
I used to live down the street from Bob's. We used to sit up on that hill in that nursery to the side of the ramp and watch guys ride. The scale of that thing was humbling. Gave you an adrenaline rush just looking at it.
Heath was and is a legend. Can't believe he actually did this.
If there was going to be a street skater to hit that up, I'd definitely be Kirchart. Dudes been a beast his whole career. His part in "The End" was sick to death.
Please re-master or just re-release the OG series! There is so much gold in there, and the history! The Anti-Hero and Girl tour is forever burnt into my mind. So rad! \m/
Heath is such a legend! I loved him ever since his amazing part in "The End" so cool that he is pushing himself to such different heights all these years later.
UNDER PRESSURE! lol
Yea this happened 12 years ago, right before he retired. He definitely wouldn’t try this today
i live and grew up less then 30 minutes away from where the megaramp is. it was like the holy grail that we knew about but never saw "yeah bob lives in vista bro the mega ramp is there for real!" It was like a old folktale that makes you feel like a little kid. i just told someone i work with today, hes in his 40s and rides bikes now but skated back in the day. we were talking about chad muska and he brought up bob. Didnt even know he was bobs neighbor lmao
As a former vert skater, I think the reason I don't feel so sketched thinking about the gap is because I can't stop shitting my pants about the 25 foot (?) vert wall. To me, that's where it's gotta be like, "what the F did I get myself into?"
Incredible that he was able to 360 nosegrab the mega ramp with a broken collar bone. Absolute legend and sheer grit!
Stop. STOP. Was that the most beautifully perfect 360 to ever softly grace the gentle surface of this fine earth?
heath kirchart is a legend man still watch his this is skateboarding part one of my favs
I think sight unseen was his best part ever.
@@NittyGritty420 the whole sight unseen video was dope classic
@@EL-CUCUY310 it was the first dvd I ever owned. Got it for Christmas when the family got a DVD player for the first time. Good memories watched it a million times.
@@NittyGritty420 I got it as a gift on VHS lol I'm old.
Remember 411vm?
I been skating for damn near 20 years. I can have a 30 min session and my knee is killing me. But with that being said. This is absolutely amazing.
Weak sauce
who asked? hows that relevant? Lol
"Heath is the perfect example of Strictly Business Skateboarding"
-Andrew Reynolds, Transworld Anthology (2000)
damn love the sound of the ramp it’s so gnarly
Especially on the VX :)
yeah dude its superfly and totally radical isn't it, right on!
@@johnmiller9953 look at you
Love the sound of the wheel bearings while airborne...just screaming.
Love the Skullhead Face shirt. RIP Dave Brockie
I never knew he did this, absolutely insane. But not surprising with his talent and level of skating.
You’re about 15 years late on this vice wtf
So you're saying this video is... epicly late?
Vice getting back to its roots. More skate content 🙏🔥
EPICLY LATER'D needs to go in the next round! so overdue... best view into the life & minds of some of the most interesting names in the skateboarding world
Bob is a living legend
It blows my mind how far skateboarding has come in the last 10 years
heath is one of my all-time favs
To ride ?
That's one of the most savage things Ive ever seen!!🤙👊
2:56 almost like an evil villain chuckle, what a legend
Heath is such a legend. I used to love watching these when it came out. Vice Sucks, but you guys need to bring this back.
I RENTED AN AIR BNB IN VISTA CA THAT LOOKED OVER BOB'S PROPERTY & THE SIZE OF THAT RAMP FROM MILES AWAY WAS RIDICULOUS !
Haha. I love the sound of the bearings trying not to implode. 😂
Stay Gold is probably one of the most emotional videos ever made.
Heath is the man, always had such a cool style.
Damn he retired young, glad he's still alive n kickin' 🤙
I love that this ramp is literally in the city of Vista,San Diego Ca. I live on the other side of where this ramp is located. The best little city in the world 🌎.
That's the artistic beauty of it...
That footage had me crazy emotional at the end! So much respect for doing this! Legend
Video does not do the mega ramp justice. I couldn’t even stand on the highest drop in. Props to anyone thats attempted it
Heath is an absolute maniac!
When Adam Savage, Bam, Steve-O, and Johnny Knoxville team up for a project.
1:14 *"When in doubt, go flatout"* - Colin McRae.
you go back and watch Heath's parts - the stuff he skated is still gnarly to this day. Way ahead of his time
There's a bunch of hidden ramps in California, abandon pools too haha 🌴
Yeesssss, stay gold Heath!
Heaths commitment to every trick he tries is absolutely insane
That is seriously epic.. nailing it after the broken collar bone, so clean
I remember watching that video over and over as a teenager when it first dropped 😭
“I almost started crying” No one will truly understand that unless they skate or used to skate
I'm looking off to my left at my VHS copy of rolling thunder, my favorite skate video ever and realizing that heath has been bad ass for nearly 30 years.
When Jerry said he saw it at the premiere. Can someone remind me what video it ended up in? Dont think it was in Stay Gold
Are you back Pat????? We fkn love you !!!
Bring this series back!
Heaths the best.
What a badass. I really admire this guy.
Heath just letting everyone know that if he wants he can do whatever he wants on a skateboard
Lol bob out here acting like he couldn't jump on any street rail he wanted.
heath is the man! love watching him!
Every time i see someone stand a jump on that thing my jaw pops open 😮
So smooth.
This needs to be loooong
In 100s of years humans will look back on skate boarding accomplishments with a smile of disbelief.
YESSSS. VICE THANK YOU
Younger generations might not realize heath kirchards mystique as a pro back in the day. Go watch his part in sight unseen. You’ll begin to understand. Then birdhouse the end and trans world anthology part. Super gnarly skating
Now I know for sure my dream is defiantly possible in this lifetime !!!!!!!
It's like an Electrical Foreman going to do an Engineer's job and nailing everything perfectly on a construction site with minimal experience in that detailed area.
This ramp is so huge. My 10 year old dropped in on the quarter pipe!
You can close your eyes and hear the mega ramp alone and you can tell what mega ramp it is
Back when megas were a big deal. Now every skatepark has one practically. Was hitting the mega this weekend man fun times but I wish they made something bigger everyone can do mega now
That's what being a skater is you always get back up love my skateboard family
more epicly later'd PLEASE
Pretty sure I showed this dude a few tricks at his neighbors half pipe. Sid, Sam’s house. Miller 😎✌🏼
Heath was such a fucking badass. Definitely miss him in skateboarding
Heath Kirchart one of my favorite skaters. so fuckin epic man
Great video!!
This has been my dream since I was 11
Vice is swagger jacking
I wouln't try going straight over it either. Holding an air straight that long & far. Nope. I'd be straight into attempting 360s too. Believe it or not, i truely think anyone that can already spin & land 360s comfortably would do the same. More control.
best edit ever
Makes me a proud Heath
Amazing!
Absolutely incredible feat
Bring the series back…Patrick wherever you’re hiding come out and give the people and younger skate community what they need
Do epicly later'ds on the people behind the cameras! Photographers, videographers, etc... I bet they have tons of stories to tell.
Heath is on another level.
Heath Kirchart... Beast Mode
what a beast!!
legend
Mad respect bro
Bring back all the episodes!!! Wtf quit holding out on us. The people have spoken.
All of anything I have done with a board bike or car started with playing Hotwheels
Heath is so cool man.
Is there a full episode of this or what!?
It's just pulled from Heath's epicly latered
But atiba was wearing a Dylan shirt it must be relatively new
@@JethroRogers ohh thats right ok thanks. Been awhile since I've watched it
It's weird that someone at vice remembers what skateboard is
The Greatest.
Later'd was rad
Sic I watched as many of the best in the world trying it took many to the top in that side by side some more than 100 times in one session this by far was one of the most epic jumps I've seen great job mega is no joke I cleared the land and helped build that thing
Me no way that 1/4 had me stiff as a dead man
Patrick Odell Nine club episode make it happen.
if i would try to skate that mega ramp i most likly would mess it up just before the jump and fall down and die.. if not then the embarasment will kill me.. cauz i have a thing for sabbotage everything when im around people because i get so nervous to fail that im always do it :( soo the people that dear to skate like this are truly bad ass people.
Awesome 👌
Heath Kick Hard
Howd they figure out where you land when they were building it
