Not Your Usual Skate Contest | Red Bull Bowl Rippers

What makes a skatepark truly legendary? After all, we are living through the second golden era of the skatepark, with new designs and world-firsts popping up globally like mushrooms after rain.
And yet, there is only one Marseille.
Pro skateboarding action returned to Marseille’s iconic beachside bowl in September just passed, as Red Bull Bowl Rippers continued the Bowl Du Prado’s legacy of enshrining legends into a new era.
The park, designed by Jean-Pierre Collinet, has been skated daily for over 25 years and has been visited by every great of the genre in order to leave their marks on the lore. As well as the Cardiel’s, Speyer’s, Trujillo’s and Petersen’s there are also the local names like Molinier, Benoliel, Salah and the Matheron clan who have all contributed to the skatepark’s worldwide notoriety. It could be argued that nowhere in the world is better disposed towards running skate events than the infamous Bowl du Prado in Marseille, France. Like Sydney’s Bondi, the bowl itself heats up a fulcrum of skate intensity which in turn sits within the wider ambience of the beach life that surrounds it.
Skateboarding events are generally at their best when these worlds collide, and nowhere do they collide more agreeably than in Marseille.
As our barnstorming skate extravaganza packed the famous beachside hill with thousands of rowdy French spectators, Marc Churchill and Corbin Harris chop it up with both the skaters involved and internationally-respected industry veterans like Greg Poissonnier, Chris Gregson, Bryce Kanights as well as organiser Jeremie Grynblat and local hero Vincent Matheron to discover what it is that keeps people returning to this unique proving-ground time and again down the decades. As Australia’s Poppy Olsen observes: “There’s so much energy to feed off…it’s kind of hard to explain- but it’s just… great!”
Enjoy the people who know the slingshot contours of that fabled space better than anyone else explaining how the city’s skatepark became a fixed star in skateboarding’s universe, and celebrating Marseille’s significance within the annals of concrete skateboarding culture globally.

Years of playing THPS2, I knew this was Marseille 30 seconds in before I even read the description. I'm excited to watch this.

[@CaseyDarwin]

Just remember, the guy who films the pro skaters can bust out a frontside flip to front nose bluntslide in a 6 foot pool.

[@nickt204]

Basically sets the standard for filmers across the board haha

[@RedBullSkateboarding]

💯

[@chadzeiders8293]

Gregson is awesome

[@nickt204]

@@chadzeiders8293 absolute legend

[@saladz3657]

He can skate vert! Makes everything look so great! Next level filmer

[@ryanballantyne6520]

[@rendyansyahpp]

[@narijodeco6869]

Thank you so much for this sick event, and perfect edit. You really managed to make us feel the vibe of that day. Supporting Yurin during all her trials to finally see her land it was cray. Itwas really about having fun and pushing the limits. thank you!!

[@dbc.ash.]

DBC..Daily Blessings Coming! .. Thank You ALL for Skateboarding and Everything Everyday!! ... So, AWESOME!.... STAY BLESSED and STAY SKATEBOARDING!.....

[@stevendevries8277]

Perfect concept! Way more fun!

[@malcolmroberts6749]

That absolutely HUGE kickflip Indy was beautiful

[@danzifer]

It's still super weird to me that an energy drink company is pulling the strings. As of today, 2023, Redbull is the world's largest financial backer behind skateboarding, along with many other sports. Not bashing it, but it's kind of strange

[@nickymac6598]

I was on a vans uk trip with Marc Churchill in the early 2000’s and he ate everyone’s packed lunches when we got out the van for the demo. I’ve not seen Marc for awhile,but can tell he’s stealing lunches 👌🏾

[@KittyLitterpoop]

Wow that's crazy

[@Daniel-ns7bv]

There is an old bowl in Runaway Bay Gold Coast that has a slight resemblance to the double bowl island spine area

[@RedBerylFTW]

Marseille is such a classic

[@Daniel-ns7bv]

sick man, I got to skate Marseille back in 2002, not quite as old as Hawk but old enough haha

[@NGUNOW]

Beautiful video! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@garrett_vnc]

“Do the trick, that’s the real skateboarding” 😂

[@GROW_YOUTUBE_VIEWS_m104]

This song hits differently when you're going through a breakup.

[@billyruben116]

Awesome skating.

[@TheAnimeist]

Dang, this made me want to go out and push. I really need to work on my fundamentals to get anywhere near to what's going on here.

[@BryceWettstein]

Oh my gosh!!!!

[@SlashDiaries]

Love this shit!!

[@Daniel-ns7bv]

I remember sittin there smokin weed playing Tony Hawk skate game thinking what a sick place and somehow I got there about 6 or 7 years later, went for a walk and dipped my foot in the Med, there was some old crusty Aussie bar in the main street but I was too scared to hit that place.

[@Yam.6_]

Big up La Friiiiche (Thomas)

[@Swayzeo]

🔥

[@YouilAushana]

I thought the mustache guy was red bull F1 driver Daniel Riccardo!

[@user-ln7kt1ft3g]

Did Jaime compete? He rips that place like no other

[@just3nzo267]

Ripping bowls like this has to be the so tiring

[@ryanrowe1975]

Classic

[@tillshlt2085]

Can you make a tutorial how to get as cool as they are? 👉👈

[@psydwayze]

Watched while pooping. That's some crazy s h i t.

[@franciscoramirez9867]

Yea boii have a nice day everyone!

[@alpineflauge909]

yes

[@theyouseless]

big question is... did the guy end up landing that huge 360 gap?

[@saladz3657]

No and cardiel did it long ago and so big! Still holds up.

[@mooshin_mind]

song at 11:57 ?

[@garrett_vnc]

“It’s perfect”, next dude “it’s not perfect” 👍

[@rampchamp9283]

Best skate event in the world...

[@scathezombiestu3156]

You know what I’m saying: RED BULL, SAMSUNG, FAKE COMMENTARY, DISMEMBERMENT, whole type, go for type of thing. And that, after all, that is what skateboarding is all about.

[@anowysz6]

im not sure why some of these guys enjoy having multiple riders at once. to me, it'd just be distracting and dangerous, i'd rather just be able to concentrate on my tricks

[@lilcs3011]

The people talking ruin the video.

[@benhaven7501]

I get being supportive but get real there's absolutely nothing groundbreaking about female skateboarding. The bar is set very low for women skateboarders and we all know it.

[@illcuration]

It would be nice to actually watch the event, but this is a bunch of jibber jabber.

[@user-li5iv5ho7q]

I wonder if Redbull can make the fruitsbooter an extreme sport

[@garrett_vnc]

Skateboarding = a community. Not guy skating and girl skating🫠
