Meet One Of The Most Unique Skate Crews In Japan | SKATE TALES Ep 6

[@lucaslaban4629]

I got to skate with Chopper and his crew for the best part of 1998 while I was in Osaka for a working holiday. Chopper is the radest guy I have ever met. It was the best year of my life. I can't believe how famous he has become. It would be so cool to go back and hang out again. One day

[@jeebeetevee7645]

07:30 “Many of us have their own character, and our own ideas. So it is harder to get brainwashed!“ We need more of that spirit in the world.

[@Thebensupremacy]

beautiful how they stopped consuming skate content and started having fun with it in their own way, developing their own skate styles and cultures.

[@nemonym711]

You really had to explain it, didnt you.. smh some people!!

[@sepg5084]

Yeah, we watched the vid too...

[@timbennet6963]

i get it though, i wish i could remove myself from it sometimes too just to have fun but it's hard when your local is always full of people tryna learn the hardest tricks and most popular stuff

i literally love that the older guy feels so comfortable in that scene with younger people.. just fits in like butter on a pancake. you love to see it.

[@vanman757]

Yeah man...

[@leatherdardoretromovil6779]

This is not about skateboarding! Is a life deep message, is about creativity in its pure way , about freedom from toxic consuming, they create all and hand make it , at the same time they build a super strong connection by being different , is pure gold , maybe the most inspirational skate video I had see ,in almost 35 years!

[@stvnhill]

Red Bull has a gold mine on their hands with this series.

[@21centdregs]

id subscribe the shit out of this if it werent owned by a massive corporation whose only intent in the world is to increase profits at all costs

[@Jell0zz]

They should sell it to Netflix, or maybe start working on a special netflix season or something.

[@diamondbrothas]

right its too sick!!!

[@sepg5084]

@@21centdregs everything you do already supports corporations bent on making money at all costs but of course, you do you

[@21centdregs]

@@sepg5084 i don't live off the grid self-sustainable, so sure a certain percentage of my resources end up in the hands of large corporations. that doesn't mean that we should accept the commodification of things with such underground roots as skateboarding. apathy is a bitch but at every turn i strive to support local and DIY enterprises with ethical outlooks and practices. but hey, you do you as well

[@sadskateshop]

Originality, creativity and pure stoke. In this sport they would say everything is already doned. Big respect to Osaka Daggers

[@Fortuna_716]

These guys are my kindred spirits across the ocean, I love stalling on curbs

[@itchytomato]

Can't believe I've been missing out on such a great series, everything I love travel, food, and Skateboarding, all crushed into a perfect mold. Madars has a rad-ass life.

[@Damoforce]

He has one of the best jobs and is nailing it too! Skate Tales is a great series into different aspects of Skateboarding and how it plays a role in peoples lives.

[@cnacks4835]

This crew is incredible, pure essence of what skating is. True artist

[@frogalatica]

This is gold... this is a a gem the daggers are a gem.

[@oghash4912]

Madars, what a dude.. Rapping in English in Osaka, skating the world... stay blessed and continue your journey 🙏🏼💚

[@danielgron8954]

Beautiful documentary. What a blessing to be there in the mix to experience that all. I appreciate the humble acknowledgement you made towards such a sentiment before the temple. Super rad video. Wow.

[@Audiorevue]

I have to say that that was probably one of the best most uplifting videos of anything Ive watching a very long time.

[@thenativedude]

Love this series. Couldn’t have picked a better presenter than madarse for this show!!

[@Ryan-wj7yq]

This might of been the most wholesome skate video I've ever seen

[@MichaelaBrooke18]

He is the Anthony Bourdain of skateboarding

[@GizmoGary]

That's the perfect way to describe him. Madars is open minded, has fun with the locals and makes new friends. He's a great ambassador for skateboarding.

Im so happy that the daggers are given this exposure from red bull:) Chopper is my biggest influence when it comes to skateboarding and hes responsible for me getting more interested in the sport. Hopefully more people get inspired and start to see skateboarding with a different perspective.

when he started rapping to the nujabes beat i almost cried. i loved this

[@brianwilson8088]

Look how this guy goes over there and just becomes a part of their crew immediately. So cool and impressive.

It's like "No Reservations", when you add the food. I love this show

[@Si74l0rd]

This series is amazing! Particularly this episode and the one in Ethiopia, make me just want to fly over there and live with them. I love the fact it's fresh in Ethiopia, and in Japan they just have fun, no preconceptions, same in Brazil. That's how skating should be for everyone! It would be an honour to skate with any of these guys.

[@musicisbrilliant]

This is such a gift to watch during the whole wildfire crisis happening here in Oregon. Lifted my spirits.

[@henryhurtz8542]

That last part when he added the background noise...it was so good, that I had forgotten it was his own freestyle! NICE

[@coltonsnider7848]

Madars your such a genuine doode! Thank you so much for just being you and such a positive light in this world!!!

[@Crying11Wolf]

It’s nice seeing a culture of skateboarding around the world which isn’t just a constant push for crazier and bigger tricks, but just different ways to have fun with it. That’s the big thing I’ve taken from this series so far, it almost feels like in the west we only care about the technicality and size these days when there’s so much more to it.

[@dgryan89]

Epic. Please don't stop making these videos. Truly love the series.

[@delishuspear]

Madars is just the shit. Love the thoughtfulness of this series man!

[@jamesblake5176]

it's funny to hear them say they were a year behind with skateboarding, and it felt like they were always catching up, because that's exactly how we felt with video games over here in the states

[@narmenyto40]

Waw! All these skateboarding styles which I had never seen before. Very creative

[@UnumNecessarium]

Madars thank you for letting me hear what Kierkegaard sounded like. I always wondered why his high raspy Danish voice was so remarkable, now I know.

[@Art_Travel_and_Hobbys]

These skaters are very technical with their style...👊🏿👍🏿

Skate tales is one of the best skate projects that I ever watched!

man, there seriously could not be a better host for this series other than Madars. This is so amazing to see!

[@littlespriggan]

I damn near cried when the host started freestyling over Nujabes. This is such a beautiful video

[@romie5000]

same :)

[@Yecobb]

These videos are so amazing! I love Japan and find their culture very interesting so this was extra awesome to watch. Loved seeing how much these people enjoy skateboarding and how unique they are. What they stand for really spoke to me. Also, ending the video with a Nujabes beat was so perfect.

[@OldManMilner]

This is one of the best skateboarding shows on KZbin. Madars makes a great host! I would love to see him as a commentator and/or contestant at the Roller Coaster!

[@KandMe1]

I'm impressed with the older guy he has some really cool tricks makes it look easy. Skateboarding is skateboarding.

[@jaysunpuke]

I'm an old school punk skater & love to see my skaters friends from another country are just like me. Really jealous though, looked like so much fun...and the FOOD

[@nunyabees4150]

This is one of the funnest videos to watch! Japanese skaters have an incredibly unique style! Here in the states we’re so focused on the danger aspect of going bigger that sometimes videos are more about awe than just having fun. If you like this then check out Gou Miyagi! Another great Japanese skater with a really unique style

[@yelagriz]

Straight up man. Quit calling people posers. You will develop your own way of skating and your own way to do tricks. That's the rad part about it. Don't let anyone discourage you on how you skate. When I used to go practice at my local park, people would bash on me because I couldn't land tricks. They would call me a poser and to be honest, it made me quit skating for a while. Now I don't care what people say. I'm not skating for them. So keep riding guys and get your own personal flair going. Eff the haters! 🤙

[@Jin_Raiden]

It’s sucks. A lot of the world has a stigma about skating/skaters especially before it suddenly became an Olympic sport. Maybe not being fired from their work but who knows. I’ve seen people legit get clothes lined by security with no warning. It sucks but skating will always live to see another day 💕 hopefully one day it gets the respect it deserves. Nobody is out harming others. Just spreading good vibes and having fun.
