Koston is a serious legend that pushed skateboarding in a way that I don't think will ever be replicated. Getting a peak into some of his insight is something we need more of. Looking forward to more of these with Koston.
Was actually thinking watching this I'm stoked he was in it so many times. I feel like a lot of people only know him from Nine Club and don't realise how good he actually is.
For those of you who live in LA it seems normal to be in a place like this. But for those of us who live far away (in my case, Brazil) being in a place like this is a dream that I intend to fulfill one day. Long live skateboarding!!!
I can tell you this, it’s definitely normal but we know the significance of this place! I’m from the city born and raised for 26 years, courthouse will forever be legendary!
This needs to be a whole series with the perspectives of seasoned pro skaters who've seen it all go down. Fully had my attention the entire time. Don't even think I looked away once. This was amazing.
It is great being part of the first generation of skaters to truly embrace nostalgia like this. We obviously weren't the first, but the video parts and progression that occurred when we were coming up, along with the popularity and technology of today making this sort of retrospective possible, I absolutely love it. If I'm lucky enough to live to be an old man I look forward to looking back on this current generation and seeing the insane stuff the future kids are landing.
A lot of history in these spots. You can see Eric thinking about the good times its such a beautiful thing. Great edit guys. Eric you're a legend. It was you and Reynolds that were my heroes growing up
Top Tier content, this whole wave of Skateboard infographic media has been super satisfying to watch from berrics, Transworld, Chase on his new channel. This is the kind of content we need more of
"You were just hanging out and you didn't realize what kind of progression was actually happening because you're just too busy in the moment having fun" - Eric Koston Man, doesn't this perfectly explain how the good ol' day are made?
I feel this way about Legislative Plaza in Nashville because it was my EMB so to speak growing up in the South. We used to spend SO much time there ,and it was / is just an awesome place to skateboard plus you could always bomb the hills from downtown too !
This covers the very reason I still love skating, progress. It just keeps progressing slowly, getting pushed further & further. The impossible becomes possible.
So cool to hear the story of legendary spots like this one and even cooler to see the progression of tricks being done through the years. This might be the coolest series yet, looking forward for more!
Poetry in Motion. Thanks Berrics / Froston... For somebody like me who has never been to the States and just watches 411VM vids growing up in the Netherlands and also skating... This was amazing!
We often think about who made skateboarding what it is today and there are a lot of people to thank for it; including Eric who has done unbelievable things for this sport and culture. But we often forgot about the places and spots that shape the actual landscape of skateboarding. I love this series for that reason. I have been skating for around 25 years now and seeing how far it's come has been genuinely beautiful.
I love to watch this legendery staff. So glad I grow up on this perfect childhood of mine and era of skateboarding. watching you guys from other side of ocean. Thank you, you were and still are my heores :) mad love and respect to Eric
When I was a kid I used to watch this videos and for me was just skateboard videos with people doing tricks without even knowing the amazing story behind it. Now watching this it makes you realised the meaning of every skate spot that today it became skateboard history. I love skateboarding man 🤙
Such an iconic place. Good you can skate it without problems now. How ironic, some people is there progressing while some in the courthouse are regressing in life.
This video gives me goosebumps, I remember watching this spot in all the skate videos growing up, till I finally was old enough to move around LA freely and actually skating this spot. Such a legendary spot like the USC blocks.
The progression of skateboarding is so fascinating to me. Seeing what guys and girls are capable of these days is why I still try to keep up with it even though I stopped skating over 12 years ago 😅
This was awesome. I hope you guys keep making videos like this of other popular spots, narrated by the skaters who helped make them legendary. I could see one hosted by of Reynolds or Greco talking about the Wiltshire sets
I don’t skate, but I recognize probably 40% of the skaters he mentions, especially in the older footage but I just love this kind of history. I would like to see more spots talked about like this It comes to the history. Very awesome.
"The ledge tricks were like, cool ledge tricks, but they weren't the most progressive" he says while footage is shown of him doing a switch flip fs tail nearly 30 years ago. That trick still holds up in video parts today, not as a single clip but still. Koston is such a legend
this was my era. not my hometown but i first skated here in 2001. i saw someone trying nollie flip front crooks and was just in awe of how much further along this scene was. the nostalgia for those decades, for watching the way skating evolved - it was magic.
I stayed all weekend nights here for 4 years at the courthouse skating it with friends and having our own light equipment to skate. Lots of memories here for sure
To me, Ray Barbee started the whole flipping up stairs thing. He was doing those in the 1989 Ban This video. But there is something about mid-90's skating that always hits a soft spot with me. Those were my personal heydays when it came to skateboarding and hanging with friends. Basically life at that time was just bliss and we kinda knew it.
This reminds me of one year in the early to mid 90's we got into an abandoned manufacturing warehouse in Cherry Hill, NJ right near the old racetrack during the winter and we built an A-frame, a pyramid, and a couple quarter pipes inside it.. there were also ledges and a loading dock and the ground was so smooth. Eventually, word got out and kids from as far as LOVE Park used to take the peedline from Philly to skate it...
Advice for all skaters: All this guys are living legends. Enjoy it while you can be with them around. They are the living golden age of skateboarding. Soon all of this will be only history and videos. Engage with them!
Make more of these, this is the best Berrics content in a while.
Jenkem does the same series better
@@spht9ng the dern brothers do a pretty good job too.
agreed
Best content Because they’re copying thrasher and jenkem..lol😂
More of these please!!!
Koston is a serious legend that pushed skateboarding in a way that I don't think will ever be replicated. Getting a peak into some of his insight is something we need more of. Looking forward to more of these with Koston.
Its rodney, rodney rodney,
Jah
I remember in thps 2 all my friends were picking Rodney. I always picked Koston
Pushed Mongo 😊
@@garrinking switch mongo, don't get it twisted
Crob must be in heaven now from Koston giving him that props! he's about to put that on loop!
Chris definitely deserves it.
Well, probably not after they put the Kelly Hart footy in there!
Oh they already know...
Shout out to crop on this one man
Fr shout out to crap
as a nine club fan Im so proud of crob for getting his props. #SpecialSpecialSpecial
I want Crob on the nine club. Rog can host ;)
Kelly too :D
I was happy for Gabriel Rodrigues"s honor #GabeForever RIP
Come to think of it. i don't remember seeing any of Keenan Milton's tricks on there.
Was actually thinking watching this I'm stoked he was in it so many times. I feel like a lot of people only know him from Nine Club and don't realise how good he actually is.
For those of you who live in LA it seems normal to be in a place like this. But for those of us who live far away (in my case, Brazil) being in a place like this is a dream that I intend to fulfill one day. Long live skateboarding!!!
shout out to felipe ortiz
Even for us people in the US outside of LA would love spots like this. East Coast has some, Midwest has parks, West Cost has everything
I lived locally for about 5 years. Some of the best ledges around in my opinion and you literally never know who you might run into there!
True but even if you live in L.A. that place is a long-ass way from Venice beach/Santa Monica for example.
I can tell you this, it’s definitely normal but we know the significance of this place! I’m from the city born and raised for 26 years, courthouse will forever be legendary!
Koston's such a great story teller, we definitely NEED more of these.
Awesome have him remniscing with putting his mind into it. He's such a goofer most of the times in front of camera.
100 % ❤
love the way this was made. felt like if stranger things editors made a berrics video
😂 because of the music
Need 1000 times more videos of skate history, so amazing
I have to say, I have cry a little bit. What an hommage not only to the place by it self but to the skate spirit in general. Thanks you for that.
Dang Crob really got his flowers in this. I'm stoked for him! Chris down plays his skating way too much, it's awesome he got some shine!
This needs to be a whole series with the perspectives of seasoned pro skaters who've seen it all go down. Fully had my attention the entire time. Don't even think I looked away once. This was amazing.
thank you Eric, true legend!
So stoked the clip I filmed is in this!
More of this. Great documentary fellas production is so good.
Best berrics content I’ve seen in the last 5 years
and they copyed it from the dern bros....
@@wotceseriescollector idk who that is but I wouldn’t be surprised
It is great being part of the first generation of skaters to truly embrace nostalgia like this.

This series and Thrasher's "this old ledge are the best
Please do more of these.
I finally made it to this spot in February at age 50. The place is magic. I could feel it. Skated out of my mind for an old man.
A lot of history in these spots. You can see Eric thinking about the good times its such a beautiful thing. Great edit guys. Eric you're a legend. It was you and Reynolds that were my heroes growing up
More of these please!! That SAD clip was a hidden gem!! Nick Tucker is a beast!!
100 % ❤
So sick it gave me the chills stoked koston mentioned crob and the out ledge🔥🔥
I could listen to this man talk all day 👏
i could watch these videos all day
I've been waiting for Koston to drop the total knowledge that makes him worth listening to. Thank you.

So legendary it hurts!!!
Wow...nice vid...love the aspect of the history....such poetry in motion.
This covers the very reason I still love skating, progress. It just keeps progressing slowly, getting pushed further & further. The impossible becomes possible.
series is amazing. from all the old footage to the knowledge of history.
100 % ❤
This was beautifully put together
So cool to hear the story of legendary spots like this one and even cooler to see the progression of tricks being done through the years. This might be the coolest series yet, looking forward for more!
Iconic skate spot. All those early 411vm's I watched in high school with footage of this place got me so stoked to go skate with my friends.
Such a great video, the editors did an amazing job with this one.
I love this series.

Great edit and music. Need more history lessons like this. 🔥
This is so incredibly well produced. More of this please!
This is good content, please do more spots in the future!
Exquisite story telling sir
These recent videos popping up documenting our spot history by the people that made it is so important. Great video.
Love u Frost. Been my favorite skater for 25 years
Such a great video. Celebrates the pioneers who paved the way for the young bucks!
When I was a kid I used to watch this videos and for me was just skateboard videos with people doing tricks without even knowing the amazing story behind it. Now watching this it makes you realised the meaning of every skate spot that today it became skateboard history. I love skateboarding man 🤙
Been wanting to meet Eric for ages. Maybe one day! KCMO rep!
Eric just credited all The Nine Club host in one famous skate spot.
What a video! Please, more docs like this with more iconical spots!
The wildest tricks that has gone down , and in this moment crob the switch flip switch manny comes 😃
Excellent. I love the spot history videos, and I REALLY loved the tab in the bottom corner that says who was doing what trick
Loved this! And for us skatenerds who never traveled to the US the insight here was a real treat! Thanks.
Such an iconic place. Good you can skate it without problems now. How ironic, some people is there progressing while some in the courthouse are regressing in life.
I'm loving these videos. Thanks!
This video gives me goosebumps, I remember watching this spot in all the skate videos growing up, till I finally was old enough to move around LA freely and actually skating this spot. Such a legendary spot like the USC blocks.
these videos hit me in the feels, growing up in the 90s skating was such a special time.
Watching Koston back in the early-mid 90s, he always had the sickest sht. No one, well beside Stevie and Kareem made pushing switch look so dope
Kalis
@@normanl.6891 yup
One of the sickest skate videos I’ve seen in a while.
Need more of this
Love skateboarding and so privileged to live in LA and skate this spot.
Amazing content, would love to see skateboarding being documented like this more often
The progression of skateboarding is so fascinating to me. Seeing what guys and girls are capable of these days is why I still try to keep up with it even though I stopped skating over 12 years ago 😅
Truly amazing
This was awesome. I hope you guys keep making videos like this of other popular spots, narrated by the skaters who helped make them legendary. I could see one hosted by of Reynolds or Greco talking about the Wiltshire sets
Wow. 100% need more of these! We need one for New York and famous street spots like The Banks
Loved this video! ❤ Thankyou Eric, would love to see more videos like this 👌
Incredible!
props to EK for his contribution to skateboarding and skateboarders!!!! salute 1000x bro
I don’t skate, but I recognize probably 40% of the skaters he mentions, especially in the older footage but I just love this kind of history. I would like to see more spots talked about like this It comes to the history. Very awesome.

PLZ.. more content like this!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Koston has always been legend!

Can’t wait to see the content these dudes make when they are 60 and 70 years old… Koston is God-like
More episodes like this! Koston in Vans is too rad
Koston - pice of soul of skateboarding! God bless u
This videos gives me chills

I stayed all weekend nights here for 4 years at the courthouse skating it with friends and having our own light equipment to skate. Lots of memories here for sure
Thank u Eric, love from Colombia 🇨🇴
It needed to be Koston to narrate this , perfectly executed,an I miss my Koston 6's laker colored
To me, Ray Barbee started the whole flipping up stairs thing. He was doing those in the 1989 Ban This video.
But there is something about mid-90's skating that always hits a soft spot with me. Those were my personal heydays when it came to skateboarding and hanging with friends. Basically life at that time was just bliss and we kinda knew it.
My childhood wrapped up in 12mins smh koston took it back one time fa da one time!🐐🙏🏾♥️
Stevie with that violation game strong. legendary bails hahah
This was awesome!

Eventually, word got out and kids from as far as LOVE Park used to take the peedline from Philly to skate it...
The feels in this one, wow.

You can tell when something is made with love ❤
