Unfortunately, greed has no limit. Now we have mainstream skateboarding and the real thing, they managed to divide, absorb and water down another subculture.
I can see the damages. I used to skate back in the day and have the same mentality. All could have been solved by making a skate park. Not a police station next to the spot lol
Yes but it was at a skate park not the streets ironically lol the board went from the flat and went and hit a guy in the pool. Lucky for him he had his helmet on and hit the back of his head lol
Its why the city of Vancouver is so jacked today. The politicians got rich laughing to the bank while writing 100K checks to their family members who owned the paint and rail businesses then they split it. Too easy better than being in the mafia.
If they were really causing $100,000 a year in damage then why not use that money to build them a skatepark?? I highly doubt that's true anyway. I've skated for over 20 years and skaters are respectful for the most part.
It's easy to throw out numbers like that to make it sound more dramatic. If you chip one of those marble slabs they can say it's ruined and it might actually cost $10,000 to replace after labor and everything. You chip enough of them, and it adds up. It's not completely destroyed, but the owner of the building would tell you otherwise.

I started skating in 95 and I remember the look and feel of those days. The brands, the logos, the attitude, the small wheels and baggy clothes. I loved it.
LMAOOO "they're going so fast their boards will slip from under their feet and hit someone in the head and smash through a window." This lady is completely making things up.
Actually, that happened to me a week ago. Crashed through my window, took out my television, and started a fire that took out my entire city. It cost me several millions of dollars, most of which I am still paying off by working in coal mines for pennies.

1978. Broke my arm last summer after buying my son a skateboard for his 7th birthday. It wasnt even a bad fall, I used to fall like that all the time. I couldnt believe how hard I landed. Im old lol I'll stick to going to the gym. Still trying to get my arm back to 100% its brutal
Hilarious this was an issue. This is what happens when things are going really good. I literally skated in Vancouver in 94 too. Now in 2022, people would laugh at this compared to the shit going on now.

They don't even realise how gay they look as they stand there flapping their gums all butt hurt about some kids just having some fun lol. And 90% of the time they're fat and flabby too. It's like, try doing some exercise yourself fatty!!
I always wore my helmet when I was in Vancouver. Not because I skated, but because I wanted to protect my head from all those deadly flying skateboards that were injuring hundreds of people a per day.
Perhaps if councils, police and people in general had spent more time worrying about crime, drugs, homelessness and other real issues, instead of getting their knickers in such a bind over skateboarding, we wouldn't see the kinds of situations in major cities that we now see today.

The person who was concerned about the boards shooting out, was saying that it could hit someone in the head. I have never seen board shoot up that high on flat with that accuracy.
Impound fees for skating brings back some memories. A smaller town in Georgia I lived in tried that. They made the fee more expensive than buying a new complete. Needless to say, I ended up skating a lot more fresh decks than ever and if not that I would piece together setups from the homies lol and this was only a little more than a decade ago 😂

As for cost build skatepark which eventually they do but still these kind of lies are shit you still hear today.
Man that static noise in the background. Just a normal news with no dramatic music in the background, with the normal zoom in into the faces of people talking.
During my earlier teen years back in the late 90s, skateboarding had its pros and cons skating on business properties. The business properties had the ideal skating environment due to smoother pavement, relenting gaps and easy to reach ledges. Good ol grandmas church candle wax was used on these ledges and you needed a lot tailslides and truck grinding to smooth out the edges. Businesses only cared pushing skaters away because we were loitering and we were not business professionals so the sight of teenage and grungy filthy looking skates did not mix well with folks who worked in the nearby buildings wearing suits and ties. But we do not see eye to eye with what was right or wrong skating on properties back then - nobody cared and we just cared about being with friends and skateboarding and spot was our home. The pros about skateboarding on business property was that at the time, security guards are the only ones that can approach you but they cannot do anything so disobey. Then the cops roll in, we leave and come back again eventually. The law back then could not state private property as many businesses and org had certain regulations what can constitute private business property. So cops would tell you to leave and you leave and do it all again. The police could not give you a ticket (or make an arrest) unless it was evident there was destruction of private propert. Or worse, vandalism. Which all lines up to young skater minds at the time. Especially prone to that were skaters who belong to low income families. On the upside, the police benefited from this due to tickets being handed out, hospitals benefited from skateboarding accidents and security companies were hired to install prefectures and security cameras for legal purposes. I recall back in 1999, I was in high school, got older somewhat and our friends decided to put girls aside and go skateboarding with your old skater crew. We found the law fought back more against skateboarding and businesses and properties decided to install skateboarding deterrents. These were literally those little concrete, iron bolted metallic knobs to prevent skateboarders (and the razor and roller crew) from doing their cool tricks. Skateparks were built but you had to pay. Many were free but it was always crowded and you had to abide the pads and helmet law and you get a ticket if you dont follow those. The scene changed, you get older, priorities change, your mind changes.. your teenage years is now just a tale of your own book. Good times it was skateboarding. I now run my own business and share a plaza with other businesses and once in a while I see some kids skating at our plaza but I don't yell at them. In fact, I just give them some gatorade packs and snacks (they are low income folks, trust me) and I tell them they can skate all they want just dont do it during peak business hours and not to vandalize the place. Other business owners frown on that discussion. But I tell them soon enough, these kids will grow up to know that at least some other adults they have seen in their life actually gave to sh!ts about them.
Other then an unlucky cameraman, I have literally never once in almost 20 years of watching skate vids and having previously skated, ever seen a board go flying and smoke someone in the face or break a window. Not saying it hasn't happened, but saying it like it's a problem and it's a common thing cracked me up.
I worked in lawn care both residential and municipal and I’ve seen more cars and homes windows getting blasted out from pebbles flying from weed whackers than I’ve seen from skateboards lol
Name another beloved pastime that can get you thrown in jail and your property confiscated just for doing it. Skateboarding is a sport and art combined, so imagine getting arrested for playing basketball, or playing a guitar. Skateboarding is a two billion dollar industry. Backed by institutions like Nike or Adidas, Redbull or Gatorade, and there are still places where you can go to jail for doing it. Then guess what, doing stuff like that only makes it appear cooler and rebellious, and that makes even more appealing and draws in even more people.
Let's not mention the homelessness and drug epidemic, or all the missing indigenous women... Let's focus on something that won't take too much effort, kids having fun.

The law back then could not state private property as many businesses and org had certain regulations what can constitute private business property. So cops would tell you to leave and you leave and do it all again. The police could not give you a ticket (or make an arrest) unless it was evident there was destruction of private propert. Or worse, vandalism. Which all lines up to young skater minds at the time. Especially prone to that were skaters who belong to low income families. On the upside, the police benefited from this due to tickets being handed out, hospitals benefited from skateboarding accidents and security companies were hired to install prefectures and security cameras for legal purposes. I recall back in 1999, I was in high school, got older somewhat and our friends decided to put girls aside and go skateboarding with your old skater crew. We found the law fought back more against skateboarding and businesses and properties decided to install skateboarding deterrents. These were literally those little concrete, iron bolted metallic knobs to prevent skateboarders (and the razor and roller crew) from doing their cool tricks. Skateparks were built but you had to pay. Many were free but it was always crowded and you had to abide the pads and helmet law and you get a ticket if you dont follow those. The scene changed, you get older, priorities change, your mind changes.. your teenage years is now just a tale of your own book. Good times it was skateboarding. I now run my own business and share a plaza with other businesses and once in a while I see some kids skating at our plaza but I don't yell at them. In fact, I just give them some gatorade packs and snacks (they are low income folks, trust me) and I tell them they can skate all they want just dont do it during peak business hours and not to vandalize the place. Other business owners frown on that discussion. But I tell them soon enough, these kids will grow up to know that at least some other adults they have seen in their life actually gave to sh!ts about them.
how the fuck does a skateboard just hit someone in the head
@Christopher Meisner lmao quit copy and pasting this shit
Other then an unlucky cameraman, I have literally never once in almost 20 years of watching skate vids and having previously skated, ever seen a board go flying and smoke someone in the face or break a window. Not saying it hasn't happened, but saying it like it's a problem and it's a common thing cracked me up.
I worked in lawn care both residential and municipal and I’ve seen more cars and homes windows getting blasted out from pebbles flying from weed whackers than I’ve seen from skateboards lol
Love the 90s man! Bring back underground hip hop
Tony ferguson in plan b vid.
Problem is: it’s illegal to ride a piece wood with 4 wheels in Vancouver
$100,000 in damages? All I saw were a few pebbles going over a wall.
That cop lied hard af ive never had my board go through a window or someone's head lol at cops
Oh the good old days when skateboarding wasn't Little League
is it now?
@@asthen5332 lmao nah, just gone so main stream
That plaza looks like a great skate spot
In that period inline skating became massive. Still remember taking over the skatepark. Skaters watching from the sidelines. Pitty that didn´t last.
Sweet video!
Quick these people are having too much fun!!! 20 years later: People arent even wearing masks outside, fine them too.
This is how it starts. And why people should NEVER get up their human rights to these Karen government obsessed clowns.
Kids go so fast their board slips out from under their feet lol
Name another beloved pastime that can get you thrown in jail and your property confiscated just for doing it. Skateboarding is a sport and art combined, so imagine getting arrested for playing basketball, or playing a guitar. Skateboarding is a two billion dollar industry. Backed by institutions like Nike or Adidas, Redbull or Gatorade, and there are still places where you can go to jail for doing it. Then guess what, doing stuff like that only makes it appear cooler and rebellious, and that makes even more appealing and draws in even more people.
JFC look at that SJW hair cut. Commies everywhere.
Skaters generally didn't care much for politics in the 90s, things have changed alot. Sjws ruined dyed hair for everyone
get a 10 speed
Not the same thing. Actually not even close to the same thing
@@mastersamurai7683 to be fair it is a good way to get from spot to spot
I was in grade 10 then and skateboarding was life. I enjoyed watching this
"the boards fly out from under them... and they hit people in the head and go through windows" 😭
All the kids of today should be thanking these guys for making skateboarding what it is today . IN IN THE OLYMPICS .
Truly a HORRIFYING epidemic
The early and mid 90's were rough on skateboarding everywhere..
The guy with the pink tank and mustache convinced me that it is 94
Let's not mention the homelessness and drug epidemic, or all the missing indigenous women... Let's focus on something that won't take too much effort, kids having fun.
What a time to be alive 😍
Vancouver skateboarding scene is legendary
that hook ups hat goes hard
Remember when Canada was so relaxed that skateboarding was considered an issue?
This footage is such high quality, you'd think it was Just filmed!
Man, did you see the size of those wheels? They may as well be skating on bearings.
Imagine being one of these old farts, and seeing yourself on the tube years later. I'd be stoked.
Me too lol
Nice camera quality for being the mid 90’s.
If only this was the worst problem kids today caused.
0:46 guy hibernated for 10 years and woke up in the 90s
this is actually pretty cool footage
