- On this episode of 'VICE INTL,' we check in with Dan Leung, a pro skater who's been shredding in Shanghai for more than a decade. But after taking a three-year hiatus, Leung wondered if he'd ever ride again. Now, he's back into the sport, and trying to turn a local Chinese skateboard mag into the next 'Thrasher.'

VICE went to Shanghai to meet the Chinese pro skater who tore it up for more than a decade before taking a three-year hiatus.

"haizi" doesn't mean "little dick", it just means "child".
Why bother putting up subtitles if you are only going to flash them for a half second? I think the industry standard is 1.5 seconds which is still a bit fast for most people.
need more skater /bmx diaries
And what he said is "jiba haizi", "jiba" means "dick", so it makes sense that "jiba hazi" translated to "little dick".
Hmmm... I need to eat chinese food today!
That´s a "real" motivation documentary. The way how Dan Leung and his friends live is admirable. This Skate Culture what he is talking about in the movie, shows that there is so much heart for the sport and respect for the people. Thats just awesome. Thanks Vice
For so many documentaries and films that depict China as smoggy cities with factories and no emotion, this doc at least gave Shanghai some life and soul. Skateboarding may not be for me, but at least it makes China look more human, y'know?
Can't always trust mainstream media's depiction of things you know.
Iusethis4comments that's because they only focus on problems
eh, china is a dirty fucking place. most people wear facemasks in the city for a reason.
Idk I definitely got the smoggy city of lifeless people vibe from this
1m2a3t4t5 better than a city full of gun nuts shooting eachother
Skaters are family. That's the way I see it. I could be in my home city, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, San Fran, anywhere and if I see anyone skating I'll give them props for doing what they love. I'm proud to belong to that family. One that has no divide. It doesn't matter where you come from, what colour your skin is, what sexual oreintation you are, you're a skater. That unity and level of respect shown across the skating community is something that will never fail to make me smile. Keep skating, much love.
So so AGREE 👌💯💖‼
This made me miss skateboarding even more than I already do. I loved the days spent with homies skating spot to spot, and the random people we'd see and who'd watch us. Then showing off our skills when girls were around lol.
Same!
the guy in the opening has the charisma of a rock.
I was thinking the same thing. He said make sure you stay tuned like you should really be interested
this was a beautiful video.
i normally won't go out of my way to thumbs-up vids, but this deserved it.
thanks vice.
I miss Epicly Later'd.... this, this is just alright...
Duuuuude.....I was just thinking about Epicly Later'd. Miss that shit as well. This was a good story though, the kind of stuff I love to see on Vice.
i think its coming back. i saw o'dell posting something on instagram
Falling in and out of love with skateboarding... Tell me about it. I never did, I fell out of time. Skating takes time, practice, dedication. Without that you become rusty. Losing strength in your legs is the biggest thing I've found. A 18 inch high kickflip was a walk in the park. Now I put every ounce of effort into getting that board 6 inches off the ground. God I miss my youth. I miss skateboarding.
Same, I was just bored watching old Vice vids and came across this because I miss skating, with all your homies there. Just not giving a fuck. :)
Im not even good at skateboarding, but this makes me want to move out there and start ripping with these dudes..
damn i saw so many things i own in this video (clothing, misc. stuff) and im in jersey. skate culture is worldwide.
This has to be one of the most impactful documentaries I have ever seen. Really shows you to just follow your dreams and have fun.
Really confused why he's speaking chinese in the interview but he can speak perfect english
One of the best Vice pieces ever.
drewie123 not even
China doesnt seem that bad
i feel sorry for you brendan adams...
100% bet you've never even visited the country. I've lived there for over 4 years, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, met some of the best people I've known and I would recommend anyone to visit China just for the experience.
Brendan
dams That feeling like me.I feel u r gay person so sad.
Your opinion not based on objective first person experience and observation but subjective bias.
Sorry to break it to you: But China isn't communist, it hasn't been communist since 1970s, so before you were even born, given how uneducated you are. And China has abolished its One Child Policy for almost 2 years.
You are criticizing China for being overpopulated, and yet also criticizing its One Child Policy to combat overpopulation. You are fucking stupid. Please make up your mind ROFL!
never heard of this guy but he is the man...I feel the same as he does
My hotel was right next to this park - Loads of boarders there. Was cool
I used to be a skateboarder, I got to ollie, then couldn't kickflip, career over.
Hahahaha! Same here! I really enjoyed doing it though. I should start again. Just doing ollie's and riding pools. Good times!
Yeah I really enjoyed it too, there's a competitive nature in me that makes me want to be great at something but with skateboarding it wasn't happening, I started rollerskating instead.
Yes, I also would like to be the best at things that I do but I don't really care about that no more. I'd rather just have fun. =)
Too ambitious, I should try again.
Dan doesn't live in Shanghai anymore. He's out in HK now.
he got a soundcloud account or something like that? which we can hear his music i really curious about it
Honestly though, I'd love to check it out.
Murat Topçu his soundcloud id is D.L i think
I found that last night, but everything is from 2+ years ago
he has a new one, "hambraeus"
Very interesting. The lesson I got from this was, do I want to be the jack of one trade or the jack of many ...
This makes me miss the old days when i used to have 8 hour skate sessions, the amount of good people i met through skateboarding is amazing. I took up skateboarding when I had nothing else, and without skateboarding in my life I couldn’t imagine where I would be, I started when I was 14, I’m now 27 and have stopped skating for 4 years, have a beautiful wife and wonderful daughter.. I need to get back on the board
Oh and the last time I skated was on a 3 month vacation in China
that beat around 13 or 14 min in the background is so chill and dope!
he's beautiful
damn beautiful genes, best of both worlds
3:20 Chinese version of" how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood."
this was so good vice love these skateboarding videos pls keep em coming
12:44 - 13:48 That part was pure art. Just bliss!
Full fucking respect!
Vice and skateboarding go hand to hand, i love it
我以前住在上海三年了，看这个就好想那个城市。。。
Cameron Chaloux 有机会，回来看看
Wow, I really enjoyed that. I can really relate to his story. Well done Vice!
What he said in the video on how in the states everyone looks at a skate spot a pro or anyone took a video at etc..... they want to do better tricks out do the pros..... What he might not know is that we think this way because the school systems in America are in a way forcing the new generations and even old generations to compete...... to have competition not collaboration.... None the less great video great skating making me want to pick up my old board and go ride... :)
anyone else get a chat Ortiz feel from this guy
Nuredin Casanova chaz
Why does the guy at the beginning of the video (sorry i'm not sure how to spell his name) look like he was forced to make that intro?
Nothing beat skating with the homies from sun up to sun down with no worries except pushing. Those were the days.
I just started skating again and fuck are my legs soar. A few days ago I couldn't even lift my shoe up high enough to tie it-- and I had been running or hitting the elliptical every day! Anyway I am going to keep skating at least once a week because nothing else makes me as happy.
Dan is so rad.
vice has been garbage lately but that was great production and story, even better than the old school stake stuff.
looking forward to his film video
This guy has it right. It's not a sport or a big money making game.
Keith Richards Liver LOL he said back in the day, its a multi billion dollar business now, dont get it twisted
just cuz hes a nobody and couldnt make cash
I think you are the moron who has it twisted. I was talking about the way he views skateboarding. If you are in it to make a bunch of money you are leech.
i think skating is a sport??!!
👍👍AWESOME!! What a cool story!! Not a skatey myself but I know a LOT that are and they ARE a culture unto themselves👍👍.... I liken them to surfies, in the sense that wherever they go they are like family... and there ain't a specific age sex religion ethnicity thing about it. They can look a little rough around the edges, but I've never ever met an unsociable skatey or surfey! And to see this dude still get joy out of it like he always did, reminds me of ALLLLL my friends family that were enthusiasts too.... it was often their happy go to place in the world.... if they were feeling frustrated or down, off they went.... 9 times outta 10, they'd always return better than when they left! Even though the skate or surfboard are a one person piece of equipment, it unites a whole world of people.... some of the coolest, funniest, caring and most eclectic bunches of people too!! 👌💯‼
I'd imagine the reason for declining numbers is that too many kids are behind bloody computer or phone screens instead of being outside SMH 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'll ALWAYS trust a skater/surfer over a Lawyer/Politician!!
Need more Dang Leung. Moar!
I'm confused, is he originally from Scotland? Only asking because of the family photo were they're wearing kilts.
yes he is he came back to China when he was 10
dan is so cool
need more skater /bmx diaries
Yea I miss em ol skate days
这个滑板视频拍得非常好！ 看不停啊，好想一直看，想知道更多关于中国滑板的东西! 我是中国人却不知道中国滑板的一些人和故事，因为我住在纽约，我只知道美国的滑板故事。 希望vice去拍更多滑板视频!
12:57 great shot
idk whether to look at subtitles or the actual vid
What is the beat from 14:45 to 15:30 !?! Please anyone!?
DrGameNwatch xiami music app OTM
4:36 Man has a Thrasher bag...
Jacob Sartorius fan confirmed!
Hiatus? Skateboarders don't take a hiatus from skateboarding.
can anybody tell me what kind of pants hes wearing at 13:00 . Brand specific please
How many cigs does he smoke in this video? haha
Fucking loved this. More skate content, give us another season of Epicly Later'd!
whats the song that starts around 16:30?
This was dope
music selection? anyone? song's names?
7:42 brian peacock in welcome to dc video
he clearly speaks English why did he do the interview in Chinese? lol
Because it's Vice China and he lives in China and he's half Chinese.
It's to make him seem interesting and different...skating doc.
Maybe he's not fluent or comfortable with doing a full interview in English.
Raymond Ngu he speaks perfect English with no accent whatsoever lol its his first language. hes American.
Raymond Ngu well, I shouldn't say American.
did he met pilipino skaters in the philippines?
19:42 song？ thanks
how the fuck is uploading DV footage to his phone so quick?
Shout out to the random guy on rollerblades
song at the end?
Can we do an Epicly Latr'd on scooters?
next project, indonesia please..
"well stick to it Windows..stick to it!"
It's a journey
Dan sounds Cantonese.
so whats hes taobao called
Only posers gave this a thumbs down.
almost on time lol
Skating is such a amazing sport. I've always wanted to skate but I'm poor af 😂
crazy how culture spreads
here
he should go to South Africa
It's more dangerous there.
2:19 LOL
If the most important thing to do is film videos than why they still using a VX1000
Dope vid none the less dude rips
Why does he mumble in Chinese?
22:37
lit
wheres the link to his tao bao store tho haha
Andy Snyder just search avenue and son
Man there is some shitty people in the comments. Even on a video about skateboarding, people gotta talk shit (and it's more than just trolling.)
Why is the interview in Mandarin. dan knows English.
why he look like chaz ortiz doe?
Kick flips and more kick flips ....can you do a kick flip
It's cool that he's bilingual
I found this dull. These are worn out views we skaters have all heard a million times. Where is Richie Jackson when you need him? Either get a crazy ripper or someone who has a unique personality; preferably both.
he sounds high
RIP epicly later'd?
gotte try
The hell is with that intro?
was there 10 years ago
Dude seems so down, this should be titled the saddest skater in China
Is Dan Leung full Asian? He looks mixed
earls
Sk8 2 rl8.
nothing surprise me More than his Chinese speaking!! 😅
Are they getting rich from skating everyday??!
