Breana Geering and Una Farrar Are Changing Skate Culture in Vancouver

- Una Farrar and Breana Gearing are carving out the new wave of Vancouver street skateboarding. In this episode we explore what ‘crew’ means for creativity in the city whose diverse and storied skate culture is founded on community. Michelle Pezel a 25 year skate veteran and founder of the legendary Antisocial Skate Shop can attest to this: “Community I think plays a huge part in creativity... People don't really think of it as all being connected but it's all connected.”. It’s Una and Breana’s bond and their creative outlets in film and music which push them past their comfort zones to shred new spots and to discover deeper layers of self acceptance.
Boardly is a video series that spotlights people from all walks of life who share one thing in common: a passion for skateboarding that has shaped who they are in equally different, yet unique ways. In Season 2 of Boardly, Style Notes, we explore what skateboarding means to six emerging voices. More than a sport, skating is a powerful form of self-expression. An identity. An art. Above all else it is raw creativity in its purest form.Subscribe here: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-BROADLY

they're sick love both of their styles
The videos only 5 minutes? I feel like I just watched a whole coming of age indie film 💙 🛹 Keep having fun ladies!
We need a longer video! This felt like a mini documentary
skaters in vancouver are the shit i went there during 2017 go skate day and everybody was cool af, sharing beers and spliffs
Best part was cruising the streets with like 500 people, police didnt even try to stop us they could only control traffic and watch.
Eli Daniel did that in 2005 go skate day in philly. Like 10,000 kids skateboarding all across the city that day...tight.
Cheers
Im 44 and have loved skateboarding since i was about 8 yrs old and im stoked to see damn i dont wanna call them young uns but they are and its fukn cool , this is my small hope for humanity, that ppl see what we knew back then now i collect boards for my walls and only get out a few days a week for a sess but i will roll till i die , stay gold pplz
Bringing females back to skate culture, love it
“females” smh
Jimmy Killem is that the term you prefer?
@@CalmDownMyDear really ?? wow. I bet you'd rather see them in the kitchen washing dishes or something like that ? Hahaha
Back? When were they ever a part of skate culture? It's historically a male sport, so this is a revolution.
@@carolinerichardson5315 lol you're either young or weren't that into skating. Yes, it's a male dominated sport, but it's also a sport that wasn't as popular with women to begin with. Think early 2000's, females though in the minority were in skate culture. Then that dropped off, then back up again with popularity of long board and penny boards, then dropped of, and it's coming back again
My sister and I used to love skating in the early 80's we were really great skaters we used to skate every where some good times!
Very nice
U still go skate
Back in the 70's I was the only female skater I knew. I only had dudes to skate with. We'd find an empty pool and wear it out. They called me a dyke at school for riding my board. Lonely world. Glad they have each other.
Boys support boys.
@@aus-li
Ok. And your point?
2degucitas Don’t worry, boys are girls too.
VoidX boys don’t support boys. Girls support girls and are very vocal about it. Think about the yearly number of young male suicides vs female suicides, THEN look at how many associations and support groups there are for each gender. Massive support for women compared to men.
DANGEROUS PERSON Well, I was referencing Gus Johnson...
Does nobody here watch real comedy on TH-cam?
Two of the sickest female skaters and SKATERS in general
Nice save
Nah
Nope. If you knew anything about skating you would know wich female skaters are on top. There are pro women skaters btw. Skating is not as anti women as you might think. Theres even female skate contests and so on.
Lizzie Aramanto is better in my opinion. She's on the birdhouse skate team.
@@direct2397 breana is pro...
Sooooooooo badass. These girl have an unreal vibe, I love the female skate community. So supportive and chill
Congrats to all of them for keeping to what THEY want to do!! Always be who YOU want to be!!
I love them both so much!! Yes, skate your hearts out! Honestly, people like you two are inspirations to dumb girl skaters like me. I feel the same way about technical stuff. I don't want to throw myself down a massive ramp or stairs either
Skateboarding is whatever you want to make of it. You don't have to throw yourself down anything massive. Just look at the Magenta skateboard team. They have some of the best style and none of them throw themselves down anything massive in their video.
@@spiderqueen887 OMG yes I love the idea of endurance skating! Typically I just love long rides especially at night when no one is out. But it takes a lot of muscles to go anywhere too far!
so inspiring, thank you for this
I get excited when I see kids out in the streets. Especially when they’re skating. Refreshing to see.
Way to go Breana and Una for sticking with it and leading others.
so hyped on this, thank you two for killing it
Lil tubsy is from my home town, stoked on her. She's always at the local park! Gotta meet her!
So sick dude! Both of them had mad style! :D
Thank you for this vice!! My little sister loves to skate and it’s hard to find female skaters that she can relate or even look up to in skating I hope girls continue to skate and takeover skateboarding i love skating with everyone!
One of my favorite skate besties pair.
Breana sings and plays the guitar? So sick!
love the style of Una
love them!!!!
Great short vid. Really stoked to see what projects these two come out with in the future. Check out both of their Instagrams!
Such smart and creative young women. You give me faith in the future!

Amazing!i wanna sk8 now
Bless, BLISS 'n ~flow~ LadyBirds, xo B*
saw these 2 girls skating in Jakarta rippin' the local skatespot, mad sick!
nice to know other people in Vancouver struggle with skateboarding like I do. It truly do feel the highest highs and the lowest lows when I skate- I've never felt so amazing overcoming the obstacles I've faced, but at the same time the culture can be so terrible and isolating if you don't have someone by your side.
grilledsteez replace ‘skateboarding’ with ‘life’. Think about skating and having NOBODY to skate with at all.
Amazing
So sick!
these women are incredible
awesome
I love these girls. They are so dope.
Literally my friends
sooooo dope
Cool. So cool
They're really good at skating
Wow they’re sick!!
Corona virus?

This video was really inspiring. I love their “get out & skate” attitude, and having fun while doing it!

Such cool lovely people, does someone know what song did she play on the guitar maybe ??
They are soooooooo fkn 🔥
YAS! siky video and sk8rs!
Such a inspiration and liberating video , #plazalyfe
Yessss
Una 💛💛💛
i needed that so much. thank you girls! and also Breana, when you said about wanting to quit skating i felt that. right now i feel similar. that's probably because im in high school and still haven't figured out who i am and who i wanna become. hopefully that will change soon and i'll be back on my board again. but this time for longer ♥
And what exactly are they changing about the skate game? No hate or anything, they seem like super chill gals all around. I was just wondering.
Nothing. There's always been female skaters, just not as many as guys. This is is propaganda.
I like Lizzie Aramanto
yeah i was wondering the same thing too.. what are the changes that they have made exactly?
I mean they seem to have more of a grasp on what skateboarding is really about then say the female "skaters" whose skateboards are more just a prop for instagram or the ones who just skate contests and do wack shit and never do anything creative. But yeah I think the changing the game or whatever was just a click bait line
They're just rad as fuck homie, no point needs to be made
New idols :)
Amazing-ness!
rad humans, inspiring
Please make a movie about these two.
I want skate too I'm looking for more inspo and reason to get the skateboard this video help me a bit ❤️ to get the board

I need homegirls like them! 💪🏼💕😭
Yo, I fuckin love their style.

At the end what skatepark is that? Ambleside?

Very beautiful and amazing skateboarding. I'm a fan. Read about Bre in da Thrasher mag. I never heard anyone use the f word that may times before, hehehehe. Naughty. F Yeah!
i want them to be my friends 😭
Sick
Thats whats up!!
Sean Pablo and Sage Elsesser changed skate culture thanks.
Love these two - great souls to have in the massivly growing lady skater world takeover
Are you serious? Female skaters have always been around. You probably just didn't notice them while you were following some other trend.
@@harryjohnson2792 Did you mean to reply to my comment? Cuz your response doesnt make any sense.....
@@oldladyfalling7844 How does what I said not make sense? Are you slow? There's always been female skaters around, you probably didn't notice them before. I suspect that you were on some other trend at that time.
@@harryjohnson2792 where in that comment did i say girl skaters havent always been around? Your making assumptions out of nothing, I know theyve been around because im a fucking girl skater who has been skating almost 20 years.... Probably paid more attention then you did....also, you are very wrong to think female skating isnt growing, there has been significant growth of women skaters in the past few decades, there has also been growth of skateboarding in general(olympics much).... if you didnt notice that then you are the one too busy "following trends" (wtf does that even mean?) Growing up, i was always the only girl at the skatepark, the only girl in my school who skated....that is so very far from the case now, i see ladies at the park everytime i go skating - 20 years ago, i was all by myself
@@oldladyfalling7844 Alright fair enough. The way you worded your comment made me think you were another person jumping on the bandwagon. Sorry, I was being a dick. One of my best friends growing up was the only female skater around. She got bullied a lot. It pisses me off when people act like girls skating is something new. My bad.
✨💛✨
Breana is crush material
😎💚
Damn....Even vice has lost all views because of the youtube censorship. Algorithms suck.
How come algorithms in general suck? :v I mean, TH-cam algorithms might suck, but as a CS student I have to tell you...Algorithms are fucking neccesary! (Sorry for my bad English dude, not from the states)
It's called censorship.
@@DavidRamirez-ue8gv
Well, I am sure you understood the context.
@@Americansikkunt
Censorship is out of control.
Threeper hydra Censorship, controlled by major corporations, is disgusting, particularly in the USA. And ESPECIALLY with TH-cam, the platform that previously advocated support of original content creators, when TH-cam actually had competitor.
Una actually skated because she had a friend and every time she hang out with him he always Skate so she got a skateboard.
i love these girls sm😢❤️
