nice doc, well put Vice. Sharing so much of this story: plastic boards, building ramps, learning tricks from US mags, the summer camp in Sweden (dreamin' going to), skating alone... Cheers!
I lived in Denmark for a month this summer and I gotta say, the skate scene is very lively, there are tons of people skating (and longboarding), using the bike lanes to get around the city, there are lots of street spots, lots of skateparks. Fælledparken in Copenhagen is an awesome concrete skatepark that was built a few years ago. Overall I liked the city very much. But the weather is just unsuitable for skating. When I was there, in August, the daytime temeratures most of the times hovered around 16-20C (60-68F) which is alright, but keep in mind this is summer time for them. In the winter it gets really really cold, and windy and I was told the sun sets in like 3:30/4pm. Skating in any other month except the summer months (june-july-august-september) is pretty horrible. Of course you have the option of going to an indoor skatepark - Copenhagen Skatepark, but that is just not as good as skating outside imo. Overall, beautiful city, lots of spots but the weather just kills it for me.
Victor Elsass hvorfor syntes du det? det er i det hele taget en ret sørgelig kommentar som ingen bad om, jeg er ked af at du keder sig så meget at du føler et behov for at skrive sådan nogle ting til en person der på ingen måde har gjordt dig noget
Nice doc, was awesome to get some skateboarding history from my own country. Good thing vice visited Denmark. You should also do a doc on the founder of ALIS, he seems like a really interesting person :)
Most those guys i use to skate with back in the 90s. and like some say they missed Rune big time, the man who taught me to do the big vert with air. i was the first to ever skate with both Glifberg and Hawk on in it back then, and that shiiit made me soo damn popular that i still look back on that day as one of the best ive ever had. Skate gods was good to me that day. and remember going to london and saw a skate park, then nicky came and was like heeey martin where is your board. and i didint bring it soo was kind of bummed out about it. but he was like hey grap my board and have a go at the park. One of the nicest people u will ever meet in skateboarding. Salute
I skate, have TRIED cocaine and lsd a few times, I do smoke weed, I work 2 jobs, go to college, volunteer some of my time to charities every so often, donate money to trustworthy charities, respect everyone, and try to be as nice and helpful to everyone i meet. Peace friends, i love this series vice!
Great doc, thanks for putting Denmark in the spotlight :) The only thing that gets on my nerves is Nicky Guerreros accent. He sounds like Lars Ulrich or something :s
In Denmark there is an area located in our capitol where you can pretty much just call for it and get offered it by 10 random people... If you ask for pot, you can get it anywhere pretty much...
whens vice going to make a doc on agressive blading. i kno its underground and what ever but theyd have a story to tell from it bieng on top and now down below
I read everything you said, and i can follow you on some points... A few things though... 1. The danish police tried to shut the area down multiple times+patrols it once in a while. 2. I dont smoke myself and havent tried, but if people wants to they should be allowed as long as they dont hurt others while affected(no smoking in public neither etc.) 3. As long as its casual smoking its fine imo. 4. I understand your concerns, but its their lifes. 5. You dont get jailed for smoking, only smugle.
totally aggree. i am german but i spent alot of time in norway when i was like 15-17 and all the kids in my age spoke so much better english than me. i think a huge reason is that when you watch a movie on tv in germany its 100% with german dubbing but in scandinavia its never dubbed. in addition to that they have a very good school system
scrotty mcboogerballs no they have some stuff dubbed there like pokemon but true many things arent as dubbed as in germany cause translating to danish is trickier then to german
Skate World: Norway.. now thats a fucking story.. from 7. september 1978 to 9. mai 1989 it was illegal to sell, buy and use a skateboard(so as you might think it sparked a huge underground skating scene)
According to 2010 data on the OECD (34 countries), US healthcare spending per capita is the HIGHEST, while lagging BEHIND AVERAGE in number of physicians, hospital beds, doctor consultations, length of hospital stay, and life expectancy. In comparison, Canada spends a little more than half per capita on healthcare, and performs equally good or better in all mentioned statistics. One thing US do excel in though is MRI and CT scanners per capita... well behind Japan of course. Efficiency...?
I dont know how other countries work, but we have a collage and vocational school system side to side. If you graduate one of those you have egual right to go university or polytech/university of applied sciences. I use to be construction worker (3 year vocational school), had an accident and now I am studing construction management in Oulu university of applied sciences. Almost all young people have some sort of education.
I love these skate world videos, thank you for making quality skateboarding documentaries vice
nice doc, well put Vice. Sharing so much of this story: plastic boards, building ramps, learning tricks from US mags, the summer camp in Sweden (dreamin' going to), skating alone...
Cheers!
Thanks for the video, really great and brings back memories
Great work vice, I love the skate world docs.
Really interesting, as always! I love this series!
Aw man, Nicky Guerrera! My brother had one of his boards (which I stole) when I was young, good to see he's still at it
These guys here inspired me to start skating back in 86, much respect!

I remember Nicky fom my first ever skate contest, it was sooo awesome

Much love to DK from SE! Interesting doc, Vice. Love it.
Fed doku! Respekt til den første generation af danske skatere

Sounds so similar to a German accent :D
Really? Seems really nice english to me. Though I cringe at our dutch accents.
You think so? I think it sounds awesome. I'm Swedish btw.

Adrenaline. Your picking. Your bags. Up running. Through the stairways. Adrenaline. Because you know the people they escape barely.
Christiania is a great place, alot of good bud there :)
awesome to see Denmark get some coverage =]
God it's nice to see Vice showing of dear Denmark.
Cool to see VICE in Denmark!!! WUUUHUU!!
skateboarding is great everywhere. as long as people who are creating the scene are not full of themselfs everything is cool

måske nogle der er med i kan svarer :D
10:14 ah that sound of cans :P nice vid vice, no do in Norway

Great doc, thanks for putting Denmark in the spotlight :) The only thing that gets on my nerves is Nicky Guerreros accent. He sounds like Lars Ulrich or something :s
Hahaha.. They didn't mention Rune Glifberg once - arguably the best skater ever from Denmark. Talk about bias!
The biggest reason I clicked this video was for Rune. disappointed
they did
i think the skate scene in aarhus is bigger though.. where i live, the second biggest city in Denmark.. there is sooo many skaters there
True that long live Chris! Cheers from sweden.
a fuckin "Motersaw".... sometimes my people make me cringe..
***** okay, jeg græder nu på dansk. Jeg er sgu da selv fra danmark???
It took me while but...... Guerrero sounds just like Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!
In Denmark there is an area located in our capitol where you can pretty much just call for it and get offered it by 10 random people...
If you ask for pot, you can get it anywhere pretty much...
11:19 inaudible is "Lyngby"
Sick video
this reminds me of a skate show i saw on netflix Canada
Winning. It. Resourceful.
Kept. On rolling.
Awesome!
It feels kinda cool!:D
best scene!!!!
Denmark: Happiest place on earth
IM ALSO FROM DENMARK
Wow didnt know there was any skating in denmark, but yet its mostly in copenhagen :P
Is there going to be one for Finland, seeing as it is quite a formidable presence in Scandinavian skateboarding ;D
whens vice going to make a doc on agressive blading. i kno its underground and what ever but theyd have a story to tell from it bieng on top and now down below
Much love from Arizona!!! My only surviving grandparent is %100 blooded Norwegian. She's 92!
I LOVE SCANDINAVIA. I want to go soon. Whats that website? Couch surfers?
So sick!
This was interesting
I read everything you said, and i can follow you on some points... A few things though...
1. The danish police tried to shut the area down multiple times+patrols it once in a while.
2. I dont smoke myself and havent tried, but if people wants to they should be allowed as long as they dont hurt others while affected(no smoking in public neither etc.)
3. As long as its casual smoking its fine imo.
4. I understand your concerns, but its their lifes.
5. You dont get jailed for smoking, only smugle.
now we want norway, since you've guys done sweden and denmark !
Sorry norway hehe denmark here
what shoes are those, the ones that the skaters are all wearing at the start sort of?
i knew out of all the skate world the danish be the one that speak the best english the scandinavians are so good at learning english
totally aggree. i am german but i spent alot of time in norway when i was like 15-17 and all the kids in my age spoke so much better english than me. i think a huge reason is that when you watch a movie on tv in germany its 100% with german dubbing but in scandinavia its never dubbed. in addition to that they have a very good school system
Denmark is not a part of skandinavia.
scrotty mcboogerballs no they have some stuff dubbed there like pokemon but true many things arent as dubbed as in germany cause translating to danish is trickier then to german
Ken Newmann denmark may not be on the scandinavian peninsula, but they are a part of scandinavia :)
Ken Newmann

Vice man, you have to do a Skate World: USA. It would be insane.
Who gives a shit about the US
If you just got mad or something like that, your a fucking idiot.
Miklas Ager You're the idiot for being mad at him imo
CarefaceKarl Im not I love the US :D

Skate World: Norway.. now thats a fucking story.. from 7. september 1978 to 9. mai 1989 it was illegal to sell, buy and use a skateboard(so as you might think it sparked a huge underground skating scene)
