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

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.

[@genericname110]

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...

[@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

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

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@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.

[@dgryan89]

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

[@coltonsnider7848]

[@Erocks301]

Yo man I love everything you do and how you help to bring all these awesome cultures, lifestyles and FUN to the rest of us. I can't begin to imagine how awesome it would be to travel around the world and meet so many great and wonderful people that all share one passion. Skateboarding. Please continue to do what you do and shed light upon these amazing people from all over the world. Cherish every second of it. Everyone is beautiful and everyone is just as important as anyone else.✌🏼

[@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.

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

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

[@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

[@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.

[@ffrreeddyy123456]

Wally Inouye made a huge impact in my community and thinking about how our local skaters are so diverse, yet connected. How so many great people are gone, who I once I had a chance to skate with. Especially those I looked up to when I was younger. Ride on forever, Forrest💛😭Ride on, everyone

[@InkDropFalls]

Great video well put together ....Respect to the skate crew and to that dude that got fired so many times ...KUDOS to him ....it surprising how Japan has a stigma about skating no one should be fired for pursuing a creative hobby

[@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.
