as i like to say and share with folks in other similar vids / groups, i absolutely love seeing this ! and like the game of chess; which is called the great equalizer. no matter who you are, what language you speak, what color you are, what economic background you come from, chess is chess and anyone can play against anyone. same goes for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, they are also great equalizers, it is universal, no matter if you from Canada, Kenya, Australia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Russia, japan, that all love to skate and are doing the same things, as well as creating new tricks. enjoying it, having the same passion and love, no matter who they are or where they are. skating and skate-parks are universal.
there should be a whole skate scene on texas. no one skates here and everyone sees skaters as targets for voilence and discrimination, if california is skate heaven then texas is skate hell. ive experienced more hate for riding a piece of wood than ive ever experienced in my life.
Amazing to see skate dudes keeping it alive even in such no-go situations, especially the girl, only girl around there skating and staying motivated, bless you honey, you really made an example outta evryone. One love.
This is just what skateboarding should be like, Friends hanging out and having a good time. If only things we're still like this, Good thing we have people like these.
this is insane!!! swedish skateboarders are soo underrated. amazing style, good trick selection, skates fast, how much more can you rip??! TWO THUMBS UP :)
As a Swede, it find it chilling to read this comment. It used to be a great place. Nowadays it's simply a gangster's paradise with daily gang shootings in most of the bigger cities.
mentality. constructive attitude towards issues, of all kind. openness, intelligence. the overall psychology of the swedes/nordic people is different than that of the rest of the europe, at least.
***** Like not legalizing weed because swedish politicans and scientist relies on old scientific propaganda. Really a country that is ruled by the goverment.
A great video that really captures the DIY aspect of swedish skating. I skated with some of these guys when they were up here in Skellefteå and they still rip hard.
Wow it's so good to see a DIY scene alive and well. I know of one homemade skate park in my town built around an abandoned building. the council came and put a bigger fence up once they found out
21:22, I'm in the background of that clip, it's from about 7 years ago, the park is gone now but it was basically the place i learned to skate, damn i miss that place.
Nice one Vice, i love to live hear! Did not get the feeling for skating but BMX and dirt/downhill is my thing and im glad i can go allmost ever were and ride with out think about getting chased away!
I love pieces like this because it reinstates my belief in humanity, It proves that the ills that many thrust upon people that aren't like them are both conquerable and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Kudos Sweden! Way to put your energy in achieving a common good as opposed to dwelling on the pitfalls that sometimes just occur in life.I'm tired of people fixating on the bad when the good is bitch slapping them in the face!
Scandinavia is "officially": Denmark, Norway and Sweden. From a cultural aspect it consists of: Denmark, the Faroese Isles, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
Yeah, i think we started in third grade, but i was in third grade in like 96 so it might be earlier nowadays:) But we also do not dub TV shows etc, so we tend to learn english from watching series and movies aswell. We only use subtitles.
I'd like to think there's a Skate Scene everywhere. I lived in the Philippines and started skating there, Moved to Singapore and there was a massive skate scene there, Moved to ABU DHABI and DUBAI and there were tons of skaters there, went to Lebanon to snowboard and instead skated an old museum with a 100 kids, Afghanistan has a skate scene as well. You know what's funny I went to the famous cities where skating is supposedly big and all i saw was kids with supreme caps posing with a baker deck
We learn english in school from when we're eight years old. Also all of the famous tv-series and movies from USA and Britain are very popular here, as well with music. Plus we never dub movies like they do in e.g. France, Spain and Germany. I think that's why most Swedes can speak english really well even though many people are bad at pronouncing words with an american or birtish accent :)
What a fine idea. There are always skaters around this area and it takes skills, which many people miss. If any average person put their feet on one. they would fall on their ass. Its takes time to learn like anything else. They should do this in England
In the english speaking countries they dont really use the term "the Nordic countries", so the word scandinavia means Sweden, Norway, denmark and finland for them, but in sweden the word "skandinavien" only means sweden, norway and Denmark

wearing a helmet while finger skating. now that's ultimate safety
r4nd3l h 😂😂😂im dead
Yeah, finger skating is more dangerous that's why we don't wear it during normal skating
😂😂😂
Kärlek. Bara kärlek till det här klippet
Så sant!!!

a finland edition of this would be amazing!

AsaLSB There's parks in Buda, Seguin, Kerrville Austin, Corpus, Port Aransas as well El Paso. I assume everywhere else too ( Dallas Houston ect)
+AsaLSB TH-cam MAJER crew
One of the best crews in the states out of texas.
+AsaLSB "riding a piece of wood" xD ok
Seeing the girl skateboarder was awesome, I'm learning how to skate now
started to skate this summer after 15 years or so off the board!!!awesome to skate again...
morty_ falch how are you guys doing today?
Dominique Harris how you doing now?
Whats your best trick after 4 years
I'm moving to Sweden. Pontus and the dude who obviously is an awesome dad are rad as hell.
Amazing to see skate dudes keeping it alive even in such no-go situations, especially the girl, only girl around there skating and staying motivated, bless you honey, you really made an example outta evryone.
One love.
What an a amazing person, really look up to pontus he seems a really humble dude

Skateboard high school?! That would be a dream for me here in the states.
Yeah, they should start one up here in the UK too.
It got into a lot of trouble, one coach systematicly tortured pupils
@@ehrich1378 really? Damn..
@@isak8059 @Ehrich That was at another skateboard school, not from the high school depicted in this video.
Jag bor i SBG, är 13 år och åker skateboard alla dar i veckan. Jag älskar Skateboard!!!!!
I've never been to Sweden but I reckon it is the best country in the world.
its very peceful and every school has drug dealers.
Isak Romsi hahaahhahahahaa this is so right
Isak Romsi that's every country though hahaha
Its great but sucks for skating
You have an playlist called ”favoriter” witch are Swedish for favorits. Explain that!
best thing in life traveling around and go skating
Jo, många vill det. Det är ju gråa och trista Sveriges motsats. Mycket mera öppet och trevligt.
i remember watching this video over and over and it inspired me to skate and make my own skate spot
Best documentary yet. I'm so hyped to go skate.
Such a good documentary. I love when Vice does skateboarding!
Dang...Sweden is rad. Gonna have to take a journey someday.
As a Swede, it find it chilling to read this comment. It used to be a great place. Nowadays it's simply a gangster's paradise with daily gang shootings in most of the bigger cities.
the world has a lot to learn from Sweden... and not only skate wise, but everything else. they are truly superior.
like what are they superior in? i live in malmö i would love to know ur opinion

hahaha, kanske för dig, jag gillar malmö kanske pga mångkultur.
Marcus, det är ju inte alls sant.
A great video that really captures the DIY aspect of swedish skating.

"If you have an idea, do it. Do it now." 04:48
Words to live by!
Please please please keep this series going.
I really enjoy the fact, that you put "What's so Strange about me?" By Claus Grabke's Band at the beginning!
Wow it's so good to see a DIY scene alive and well. I know of one homemade skate park in my town built around an abandoned building. the council came and put a bigger fence up once they found out
Turns out that watching skating is quite enjoyable when there is no obnoxious music on.
Good stuff vice!
I DIDNT SEE A SINGLE SCOOTER AT THOSE PARKS
OH GOD THIS IS GLORIOUS
Best Vice : skate so far!
21:22, I'm in the background of that clip, it's from about 7 years ago, the park is gone now but it was basically the place i learned to skate, damn i miss that place.
So much woods and green in Sweden, im inpressed + there is a lots of handsome and gorgeous gals and pals there XD
Nice one Vice, i love to live hear! Did not get the feeling for skating but BMX and dirt/downhill is my thing and im glad i can go allmost ever were and ride with out think about getting chased away!

I don't know much about skateboarding in Europe so this is dope :). Thanks.
Scandinavia is "officially": Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
From a cultural aspect it consists of: Denmark, the Faroese Isles, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
Albert Nyberg has a line at the Train bank spot (02:03) in his ''Ten years of happiness'' video. Pretty cool.
This is why i love skating, because you could go to the most random park and feel accepted.
aww :,( how i miss skateboarding used to skate back in the day as well late 90s early 2000s just hate how life makes u grow up
"the atmosphere around the spot is as important as the spot itself"
This. This x10.
Vice documentary are damn good!
Very good film Vice.
Depends, on extended usage it is. Since the countries are so similar.
Awesome episode, thanks!
i WISH norway could follow this example.... we got the money... or at least the state!
Hey Vice, thank you for those great Skateboardingdocumetarys !
Stapelbäddsparken
Yeah, i think we started in third grade, but i was in third grade in like 96 so it might be earlier nowadays:) But we also do not dub TV shows etc, so we tend to learn english from watching series and movies aswell. We only use subtitles.
vice kicks ass!
@sc0tte1 sweden accually is in the top ten esport countries currently with the NIP counterstrike team. So playing video games is also a plus to them.
I'd like to think there's a Skate Scene everywhere.

I love risk takers! It takes courage to challenge the unknown.
actually... Humlan... Östermalms torg...
Like 2 km from södra station...
Being from Finland, this is exactly how it was in the 90s. Trilla dope!
Malmö have so many good places to skate 😀
You HAVE to go to Copenhagen and explore the skating scene there!!
pontus alv is amazing!
please keep this series going, this is so sick
This is so close to my home town... and VICE was there... :(
Like this is awesome and all, but i would be really cool seeing the skate culture in gothemburg too!
9:52 Rest in rip parking lot
I will always remember you
Nice doc, very interesting.
Please do a documentary on Scottish Skateboarding! And thanks for the Rattray Epicly Later'd!! We need more of that!
greetings from Sweden and keep on skatin :)
Proud to be swedish and seeing this :D
Scandinavia: Sweden (my home country), Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland

Loved it! Go Sweden(Gå Sverige)!
Malmö for the the win! But it's much more fun to skate in small villages!
Yall should come skate Gaste in Lund! Dope skate as well!
Love looking at skating, but never tried. looks awesome, hell even rappers are skating now !
Love Pontus Alv, If you like rough and motivated skating, check their vids from
Polar Skate Co
this is awesome!
17:10 i love his air time
I'm getting a board ordered tomorrow i gave up skating when i was 10, Time to get back into it.
you guys have to do a san jose episode! not sf..sf too but specifically sj but be so so sick
12:25 Young Chuck Norris xD
Anyone know where you can build your own skate spots?
In your backyard maybe?
nice piece of history.
wow, that was really amazing
AWESOME!!!! Really love it!
Yes, shot it Saturday night. Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the skater, but people there will know him.
What a fine idea. There are always skaters around this area and it takes skills, which many people miss. If any average person put their feet on one. they would fall on their ass. Its takes time to learn like anything else. They should do this in England
theyre so gnarly
fuck yeah vice, epicly later'd is why I started watching your videos and videos like these are why I continue!
Great video!
brilliant!
Wow I think I wanna visit Sweden.
That indoor skatepark is frickin nice
25:01 Amazing view. Imagine having an office like that.
Man, I love skating
the perfect skatescene.
Yep, might be going there next year. :)
i love smaller european countries skate scenes because its all about the vibes and has nothing to do with money or the skate industry
Do you genuienly believe that? We've got supreme wearing, Nike Dunk buying twats too
Swedish and english both have the same roots as well, in fact, a couple hundred years ago you could not tell the difference between them!
Great video
Skateworld : netherlands!!!
Beter wel
In the english speaking countries they dont really use the term "the Nordic countries", so the word scandinavia means Sweden, Norway, denmark and finland for them, but in sweden the word "skandinavien" only means sweden, norway and Denmark
looks nice
awsome video
I love you Scandinavia!
Cool, I liked it
