well its a fucking ditch, not much reason for the city to care about it lmao. it was built to redirect rain, it redirects rain, for that purpose it doesn't need to be pretty. ditches are good skating everywhere, especially since the city doesnt care about them, so getting kicked out is super rare, so obviously skaters would care more about it.
hard to watch you guys with no helmets. my kid spent 2 months in a hospital and another year learning to walk and talk again after hitting his head on a fall
@@TH-camuser525 wait until your crapping yourself and being tube fed lol and youre in a coma for 3 weeks. and i get it i never wore a helmet and i fell plenty of times with nothing more than a couple broken arms. but damn a head injury will change your life forever
I hope the guy that got put in a coma is okay. All of these sends are full of energy and laughter. Love too see ripping like this I just hope buddy ends up waking up soon.
@@rippendale "Best slam' announced at end says guy was in the hospital. I don't understand skateboarder's dislike of helmets. All the crazy freeride/slopestyle mtb guys have no problem wearing helmets these days, but skateboarders messing around on concrete still think its "uncool" to want to survive having fun.
Band that plays the event (Sewer Gap) is a great fit for the vibe, love it; Also, you guys should implement some rule on the race about shirt grabbing - it is a matter of WHEN someone is going to be responsible for the other skater serious injury and it's not going to be fun when it happens
It’s called the death race for a reason. Everyone participating understands that people WILL crash and that there is a good chance they will get hurt. They do it anyway and I salute them for it.
we need something... like a cover, like a protection on the head. Someone should invent something that protects the head, I can't think of what it could be...
So fucking sick, skating has never been gnarlier. Awesome to see these events expanded and made bigger every year. LOVE the wood additions you all built!
I believe you guys are doing a service for the city, keeping the place nice and clean. As long as tons of trash doesn't pile up. Sick, hope I can make it out to the next.
“That’s a no for me dawg…” Mad respect for these folks doing what they love, regardless of potential injuries. Absolutely going for it. 💪🏽🇺🇸 Live free or die hard 🎸
I try to think of it like this, both are masters in different genres of skating just like car racing. this is like watching drifters race their cars on downhills😂
Winning a downhill race on a board designed for tricks is different than longboarding. Just like 360 flipping on a long board is different from doing it on a regular skateboard.
I live in Long Beach and I definitely need to make my way down there to this event. The street skate scene is still alive and well here, but this is next level. Its like Roman gladiatiors, barbarians and street skating all combined, I love it.
Where does Death Race take place..? And are longboarders welcome or is it a trick board event, cause I'm down to participate, but I'm broke and have no car, but willing to walk, or skate there :3
I have always had mad respect for the skateboarders it’s a true family that care about each other and are always lifting up their fellow skateboarders!
Man. This gave me a hit of dopamine and adrenaline that I just can’t describe. Reminded me of being a kid and dying crazy shit. Loves the whole vibe. No phones. Just experiencing life and getting a thrill and memories out of it.
I went into a coma for 1 month... couldn't breathe on my own. From simply falling off my longbaord after hitting a rock on the way to class at college in 2014.... This hurts my soul to watch these people go down without helmets.. Safety is king... mess with the bull... your gonna get the horns
We used to skate that ditch when it was brand new. Somewhere, I have a pic from the ridge, brand new super clean, no graffiti. We used to call it the snake drain. So bitchen to see the Hulligans are still charging it
Brings back memories, from around 1977 here in have homes built on the mountains in town. The roads that go up there are really smooth. We used to take our boards to the top and skate down them. I remember the cops clocking us at 40 mph with the radar guns on 44” Sim’s skateboard. Back then it was Tracker trucks and Gullwing trucks. So much fun riding empty pools. That’s way before skate parks were here.
This is the most 80's energy Ive seen in a while. Hell yeah
If it wasn't dangerous it wasn't fun. I seen every kid in the neighborhood go 2 hospital at least once...ahhh the 80s

no name though? just the dude?

That's the Creature team manager so it tracks LOL
Red mop guy is Sam Hitz, a fuckin legend.

I was just worried about getting red on that white Dodge truck lol
I thought he was gonna get paint on that white truck
One of the greatest days of my life! Thank you again Independent and Monster Energy. Epic time!!!🤘🔥
I get it bro! I drool over this every time I watch it. I gotta go skate it.
Definitely live energy
11:36 - "and that kids, is how I met your mother"
Man I totally thought the same! Love from Blighty.
20:30 and that one
I like how skaters care more about the ditch than the city does 🔥🔥🔥
Especially with the landscaping! Epic!
It’s a form drain. There’s not much to care about in the first place

It's rough, but I'm sure all of these guys know the consequences. If not, then they definitely should.
That was gods plan for them. Others have a different path
Sorry for you kid bro, but these dudes are street professionals. They know what comes with it
Man awesome video and love watching good old hard competition!!!
LOVE THESE... PLEASE keep them Coming....
Hope so! Or make it legit with the city so it won’t be shut down!
There is a lot of love that was going into the event. 1st time watching it and it's absolutely wonderful. Keep bringing it back.

So fucking sick, skating has never been gnarlier. Awesome to see these events expanded and made bigger every year. LOVE the wood additions you all built!
This is a good reminder that skateboards are not only fun to perform tricks but also for racing 😂
u should look for real DH skateboard races this is awesome but real DH races uff
had a blast this year i was one of the volunteers we love having fun out here if your ever out here come check us out
Everyone involved in this gets a massive thumbs up from me! Who am I? I'm just a big fan of skating and these folks are keepin' it pure.
These are the most badass racers I've ever seen
Grew up wearing independent, so thank you guys for the childhood and teen years 🤘 skaters are a different breed
yall are friggin nuts! but im here for it! 🔥🔥👏👏
I love skaters, truly some of the best times of my life.
Skating ditches is the best skateboarding terrain in terms of ultra-fun, imo. Its always a tough choice though.
ayyeee this is awesome! but no arial drone shots??? would have been sick shotss

This brings me back to my teenage years and I love it.
omg the setup weeks ahead of time is jaw dropping
Dude such a gnarly video! Thabks yall!
Fire event!!! Long life to it 🤟🔥🏁
makes me wanna just skate the ditch....

18:10 THE DOGS FACE
Riding out of a tunnel into a skate rock mosh pit, in a ditch in San Francisco is probably the most skater thing anyone has ever done.
Best sk8 I've watched on youtube in years....
This was dope AF👍🤣
The ppl that got this together and put together and the filmer did excellent job
,,,,,BEST VID OF THE YEAR,,,,2024..............EPIC CRAZY😮
skateboarders: long boarding is g@y
also skateboarers: the winner of this downhill race is the gnarliest dude ever!
Didn't see any longboards in this video. What's your point?

I want to see a slow-mo best of bails video from this event.
Thats so sick DUDE
12:23 out of fuckin nowhere LIL B with the switch tre? Dude is forever killing it 👑
Was that a switch Tre that Brandon did?
1:57 I just love those guys back there smoking weed and passing on the joy 😂😂😂 GET TO WORK! 😂😂😂
THAT WAS FKN AWESOME!!!🤘🏼
How do I go about on volunteering for next year? Joe
Death from extreme sports: "he was doing what he loved"
Death from drug overdose: "we all tried to stop him"
which is the clip of the injury? when the two dude went to bottom and he jumped out of the ditch? wish i could have seen the best slam better.
This made me smile
The look of absolute stoke in their faces as they race down the ditch together is awesome. They are all just grinning ear to ear lol
How come you don’t have the iron cross anymore? That was iconic. I hope someone uses it.
Best event ever!!!! Try to make it from Australia next year...#thrasher #monster #deathditch
Sewer Gap was dope AF!!! This whole video was sick. Totally subscribed....

Thanks independent trucks!
