Hundreds of skateboarders could be seen as they rolled through Downtown Los Angeles on Friday, which was also "Go Skateboarding Day." Mike Rogers reports.
Go skate day has been a thing across America for many years, this wasn’t organized like a flash mob or something if that’s what you’re insinuating. I’ve been part of it a few times.
@@denimjeanz916ok I can say 3 people in cars shot at a building does that mean everyone else in a car by them also has a gun and wants to shoot at someone
Buy your kid a skateboard not another video game. These kids aren't all obese like most kids these days and at least they're socializing and gaining life experiences.
Yeah but what if you buy them a skateboard and Tony hawk pro skater because then they will also have a phenomenal taste in music. You will also be definitely hitting up the ER for broken arms and wrists I guarantee it. Video games aren't inherently bad but skating is definitely an incredibly athletic sport.
100% idk how popular skateboarding is now but in the 2000s and 2010s it was hella popular in Cali. I hung-out with really good skateboarders in the Central Valley and we made trips to the Bay and Sac to skate. Amazing times
@@RandomRabbit007it’s still super popular. It has gone down in popularity though because of Skateboarding Big Business, from what I been told. Most riders I know don’t care for it and prefer to use cheap stuff, other than the board and bearing.
@@nannerz1994 I am much better off having broken bones and healed than I would be had I been an obese vegetable addicted to video games. I would much rather my children learn to mitigate risk and overcome hardship in the face of danger than avoid anything that scares them. One day children will have to face the world without their parents, practicing difficult athletic activities like skateboarding makes them much more able to face and overcome the hardships of life. So many adults still live in the make believe reality their parents constructed for them as children to shelter them from reality, it's really sad to see, children are much better off learning to deal with reality rather than being sheltered from it their whole lives. Not to mention skating and other athletic activities are good for their health and longevity, and I want my children to be as healthy and live as long as possible.
@@992001jeffr I work a 9 - 5 and still get out to go skateboard. It's almost like you can work and still have time to do the things you love. Crazy right?
This happens when everything in America cost so much. Pure entertainment without cost of money. I took a girl to a movie and costed me $45, let me join the skateboarding street take-over for free
June 21st, National Go Skate Day. Go Skateboarding Day. Gotta love it. Wish my local area did these things again. All they do now is a 2hr event. We use to have all day events dedicated for June 21st
@@Hellobrother12378 What about going the wrong way on a street impeding vehicle traffic? What about damaging property by sliding across hand rails and such? What about going down a sidewalk at high speed while people are walking?
Every June 21st is international Go Skateboarding Day. Skateboarders all over the world spend the day going skateboarding. Many will gather for designated skate events at skateparks and many cities will have “Wild in the Streets” skate-a-thons rolling through the city streets on a designated route. It’s a lot of fun and just a day to celebrate the hobby we love.
I’m 46 years old & I still skate when I can. A little bit of rambunctiousness & rebellion is a good thing. I’m glad to see these kids out having fun without getting into TOO much trouble! 🤘😉
For the most part skaters aren't looking for trouble. They are normally pretty motivated to develop their skills on the board throughout the day. The most trouble they are making is minor damage to curbs and ledges. But when the weigh that against the amount of tax dollars it would take to have tens of thousands of youth and even adults entertained all year round, outdoors, physically exercising whilst engaged in a sophisticated sport/art form, it's really a no brainer in terms of societal return on investment.

Haha! Aye! Right On Kids!!! 🙌 All od this reminded me of Back To The Future 😂 I'm really happy to see these Kids Happy and having Reckless Fun. It must be really fun to be able to gather with a Bunch of Random dudes and just xhill.

Living with Frustration and Lacking Experiences is a result of someone not having the Balance where they had thr opportunities to be a Kid. Its about Balance! ⚖️
Looks fun. There’s an opportunity here for the mayor to help organize a safe annual route for them, like a marathon or bike race, but since most are teens they might like the rebellious part ✌
Make sure you Ollie then kick flip then pop shovit and acid drop off somthing and make sure you clear 10 or 12 stairs or 50 50 grind down it or board slide!🏂
it's called . " Go Skateboarding Day" . . if you can't report on it properly, don't. It's a NATION WIDE day, and of course there were no crimes, cause it's just a day to go out and skate. it's not like a flash mob or some stupid crap. you people are so out of touch you don't even know what is going on.
Go skate day has been a thing across America for many years, this wasn’t organized like a flash mob or something if that’s what you’re insinuating. I’ve been part of it a few times.
Been doing it for like 20 years or more. Local area used to have events all day. Nowadays it's just 2 hrs for a small event. Times changed
I was doing go skate day when I was a kid 20+ years ago, Emerica used to be a big sponsor of it
60+ Years ago we had a stick.
Actually it's kind of an international thing at this point
If you know you know
Skateboarding is so much fun. Those kids looked like they had a good time. No crime. All good.
Actually three of those skateboards shot people on the train that day

Why did no one talk about how a cop pulled a gun out on us?? He stole a kids board and when we asked for it back he pulled out his gun
You get it on video?
Yeah ok. 👌
Skateboarding saves the kids .
It's the one's on the ebikes in large groups that have bad behavior.

@@libramoon9968 ICE does all that at higher scales.
Breaking news. Kids go outside and play. Lifelong skateboarder here. This used to be a healthy norm on a Saturday.
I remember in 2016 we did the same thing for GO Skate Day. I’m glad that many other people continue the tradition. 🤝
As a lifelong skater, I’m happy to hear that these individuals skated on and didn’t make too much of a scene.
Itd called skitchin!! When you hold on a car and roll on a skate!!
And it's been done for decades. Hell, we used to do it back in the 1980s. Nobody got hurt, nor damaged the car they were holding onto.
Wonderful to see them out having fun‼️
Gleaming the cube 😂
Look at kids being healthy and fit, but then again group of kids trying to cause chaos again.
Sure beats sideshows.
Future training.
LAPD should have patrolled on skateboards as well.
Skateboarding ain't no crime. It's a lot of fun and a healthy community.
It's so crowded. What is this, Go Skateboarding Day?
Skateboarding is super positive for the youth!!
this is not NATIONAL this is WORLDWIDE, we roll out in london too, happy go skate day to everyone!
