Bombing Hills In The Bay | Greetings From: San Francisco

[@Skatearmada4]

Nobody skates SF like those GX1000 dudes .. true raw skateboarding 🙏

[@RedBullSkateboarding]

💯

[@jim_carry]

yea.. putting yourself and everyone on the street at risk just for internet points.. then posting and encouraging the kids to do it themselves, and possibly get them killed/permanently injured. Such "true raw skateboarding" bro

[@OKLAHOMIESKY]

​@jim_carry how long have you been skating for? you do realize bombing hills has been around since the very beginning of skateboarding right?

[@spacetimegeezy]

@@jim_carrycall the cops 😂

[@DefensisIndus]

​@@jim_carry This how it's been since it Skateboarding started in Cali 😂 skating bowls, bombing hills

[@basiluh]

“there ain’t no TMZ up here people can be themselves” as a sf native who recently moved to socal these words hit hard.. at the end of the day culture and the ability to be yourself are things that can not be bought or taken for granted

[@rzadigi]

What an awesome piece! SF is the mecca of skateboarding and its skaters, terrain, and industry have influenced skateboarding more than anywhere else. I moved there in the late ‘90s for skating and the music scene and those days were incredible. It was a time when people lived for themselves and not for internet attention. The city was cheap and full of cool people pursuing their passions. Sadly everything changed when the big tech companies moved in but its heart still remains. All skaters should try and make a pilgrimage to pay tribute and respect to this amazing city🙏❤️

[@MyKeeP81]

pure insanity

[@neighbor9672]

Did anyone mention the filmers? Like, it’s one thing to skate this shit, but to follow someone with a camera on a skateboard while they do this shit. That’s another level too!

[@chutcentral]

Most arent following when someones hill bombing, but filming from a distance and zooming.

[@neighbor9672]

There’s some old SF downhill skate footage with filmers tailing for sure.

[@chutcentral]

@neighbor9672 Yeah there is for sure, but it's pretty rare. Most are posted up and following with the zoom, or using other ways of shooting besides tailing on another board.

[@YouilAushana]

Probably dragging foot the whole way.

[@imadizzy1]

Ryan Garshell, the filmer behind the gx1000 videos is probably the best at this and has a lot of clips in this video

[@jimbeam275]

That last Tfunk clip will always be the craziness thing I’ve ever seen on a skateboard

[@heidiscribner637]

The pic is nuts too. First time I saw it I thought there was no way that was a make!

[@HenrysPokeCorner]

My favorite city in the US despite all the drama and mayhem of it. It is truly unique

[@jeremybauer7954]

This is honestly such a great way to put it. I’ve been to SF maybe a dozen times now and although I’d never live there lol, I do always find new things or places to see. Such a cool city and I think they did such a great job showing that in this vid!

[@jameswatt4694]

Moved here for the chaos and mayhem in 1986. Never left. The chaos and mayhem does not disappoint to this day. I can walk right outside my door and see packs of skaters of every size, color, and language.

[@andrewrank9512]

It is the most beautiful city I've ever seen by far and has the potential to the best in the world with some subtle and pragmatic changes in terms of how it's managed.

[@tapeworm5000]

Gerwer! The patron saint of skateboarding. F'n love Frankie.

[@HanginInSF]

That sound of skateboards rolling on the bricks at Embarcadero is burned into my memory. I can literally feel it on my feet.

[@song-mode]

As an sf native currently living abroad, this really made me miss home as well as nostalgia for being a teenager in the 90's. Great Ep! Great skating!

[@titou1again]

To a teenager skating in the 90's, it was the Mecca of skateboarding. Tanks to all of you , riders and filmmakers, who made that place what it is, all of you who inspired me and motivated me and my friends watching those skateboard tapes, back in the days. Specially the first Real video. Thank God I am a flight attendant and had the chance to skate SF many times before I fucked up my knee. And special thanks to Jake Phelps for what he did for skateboarding. Skateboarding is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

[@mungojerry4713]

I used to skate SF back in the day, bombing hills, the 9th Ave run and all that, but nothing like these guys! These guys are mad talented and mind blowingly insane! I really don't understand how they do it. I met a kid named Pablo a few years back who ended up dying bombing hills in SF. I met him totally unrelated to skateboarding. After he died I learned he was one of the best hill bombers in the world! This shit scares me just watching it

[@vdostarr]

That Evan Smith Ollie on the Bay Bridge will always be engrained in my mind

[@MonsieurLeRocck]

Great piece on SF skating culture & positive vibes in general. Good ony'a Red Bull for making this happen; especially now. . . when the City could use more of the ++++ and less of the negative that is usually making the news cycle & headlines. TY RB . . . Keep it rolling 🤙

[@IOSARBX]

Red Bull Skateboarding, amazing content I really liked it

[@RedBullSkateboarding]

Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@sunnyside9273]

Well done piece & show casing the history of one of the greatest skate cities in the world. EMB 4 Ever.

[@nicholasbennett9209]

i live in San Francisco and i can tell u that everything said was true. its amazing.

[@BeardedDante]

Thank you for this, respecting the spots and the og’s that came before. Please make more videos like this 🤝🏽

[@nicholasmercado6545]

You know what I think is awesome? The fact that they gave us tons of skateparks to keep us off the streets… but street skating is stronger than ever and always will be!! especially in the state that has the most skateparks in the U.S.

[@HoonAgain]

RIP Hubba Hideout. Legendary SF skate spot in tons of old videos. Too bad they didn’t mention old spots like that at the end. Sick vid. Skated all these spots in the 90’s. On any random day you’d see the best local skaters.

[@matthewjames206]

This was awesome. SF is truly one of the all-time greatest skate cities 🤙🤙🍻

[@mtndewpizza]

thanks for covering this culture of skateboarding, to me it has always been the most influential.

[@thestranger3530]

Moved to S.F. in 1994 to skate and live life. Never left.

[@Happyyz]

Glad to see this amazing document and skating, Thrasher is such a huge part of skate-life estetics, great we can see the office and legacy of the founders!

[@JamesTouhey]

Classic skatumentary for an amazing city with some of the dopest styles in skateboarding. Ever. ❤❤

[@eddiebreelz4226]

There never be any place like home..... To have experience sf skateboarding since the 90's of emb till now this video makes me miss it.... wanna go home

[@mvargashi1]

Spent six months in the city not long ago, visiting from Costa Rica. Skate scene truly at its finest , feels alive ! Hope to be back sometime cause there is so much to skate

[@michaelteasdale2919]

Dope….I’m a 50 year old Australian….I always wanted to go to Fort Miley.

[@RamonOchoaMusic]

I spent a lot of hours of my youth there. The bars were not there in the 80’s. If you wrecked it was a long way down. The fountain at the Palace of Legion of Honor was never filled backed then so it was another good location.

[@ashleybrown4754]

Wallenberg is absolutely massive in person

[@egguw]

back in the early 2000’s when I was about 14 me and about 5 other best friends hitchhiked all the way up too san fran just to skate pier 7 for the weekend and ended up skating all over and making a huge trip about it, that had to be the best skateboarding trip I ever took just me and the homies on a san fran trip man it was so sick

[@taterstoolboxskates]

Nothing like getting a new Thrasher mag in the early 90’s, born and raised in the desert in West Texas, the magazines were magical to me when I was a kid skateboarding 🛹 💯🔥🤙🏼😎

[@GinaVega-l4r]

Love watching these yung bluds keeping Frisco Skating alive. From the mid 90s to the mid 00s was the shit with the homies. Go hard until ur body says NO mas kids and then push just a lil more.

[@johnnyfelcher8156]

Gerwer still killing it.

[@nalveyna]

People just love P Stone. I never knew the guy but if your at least halfway involved with skateboarding he's everywhere even though he's gone. One of those rare people that u get a good vibe from just hearing all the stories and seeing all the photos of him.

[@TheScottGillies]

These skaters are EASILY hitting speeds upwards of 30mph! ON REGULAR STREET BOARDS!! I'm a damn good longboarder and I barely ever go faster than 30mph in my day-to-day. Definitely going to be looking at Pier 7 differently from now on. Most days, I hit a lil' air on that two-stair as I pass by. Sometimes I see people having a sesh there, but I'm usually just passing through. Now I'm going to bring my street board to work tomorrow. See you at the pier in the morning. Thank you Redbull!

[@JosephLee-m2o]

Amazing video. Makes me miss The City even more

[@chazcore-mn3rh]

frnt board pop over was insane

[@sidekickstreams]

glad yall put this together

[@perrytomczyk]

Bombing Hills, then the 1st skater that appears is T-Funk, awesome start.

[@diskreteone1967]

I loved this video! Great job, you really were able to catch the vibe through this footage & the interviews

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

My boy Eli Williams is killing it in this video

[@bgreat5111]

I MISS THOSE DAYS. GREW UP IN HMB SLAYED THE CITY EVERY WEEKEND WITH THE BOYS. Early 2000 late 90’s the prime time. RIP CREG S CARROL MISS YA MAN. 🍻

[@cyrusgarcia883]

Used to watch gx1000 videos everyday in highschool, after watching this i gotta go back and rewatch them all over again

[@robunnygirl]

Dude, moving here last year with my girlfriend made me respect the hell out of skaters here cause those hills are bruuutal, not to mention how many places put up anti-skate stuff. Makes me wanna pick up rollerblading again.

[@nycsymphony]

21:16 is craziest shit ever

[@calltheambalamm]

RIP ZANE 👓♥

[@Calsteez]

I was thinking the same thing

[@nephimcknight5832]

The city ain't the same but I'll always cherish the years I lived there. My house was right by the panhandle, Hayes St just below Masonic. Skating distance to just about anything, super close to Waller which was always my favorite place to do my old man noseslides. Great memories!

[@EMP-Music]

The city is sorry now. Absolutely gross

[@filmbuff4]

@@EMP-Music san franshitsco

[@650AFTERHOURSOC]

It definitely will never be the same I used to stay on 14th and Guerrero and mobbed around the city for years...

[@turdferguson1945]

Should have used some archives to cover brown marble and black rock, hubba, wallenberg, the avenues... maybe next episode!

[@youtuber58643]

I used to downhill longboard and bombing hills on regular skateboards like that is absolutely nuts. Getting harder bushings will help with speed wobble.

[@bryanhernandezjuarez9512]

So sick! Rad skating and great history. Would love to see you guys do one of these for San Jose too.

The thrasher segment should be standalone - it's an amazing look into thrasher and had a lot of info i had never heard before

[@ululuskiappaski190]

T Funk & Savie in their own league!!

[@joeontko2186]

I miss hubbas hideout...damn I loved the city in the 90s. Alot of good times..

[@ogcali9291]

In the 80’s we used to come up from Sactown and skate the embarcadero on the weekends and other spots. I could never find that bowl that Guerrero skated at in the bones video. Another spot we hit up was Santa Cruz derby park.

[@billandhisboard]

12:23 that was the smoothest heelflip I think I've ever seen! wtf! 🛹🔥

some of the spots shown have great Parkour spots near them too :) bombing SF hills is absolutely nuts though. That feels suicidal to me and my main mode of transportation was a skateboard for years.

[@calilife2232]

Use to love fucken skating as a kid use to love hitting the city go skate it was always fun eating shit and bruised up every time we went miss it watching this video made me miss it , unfortunately gave up on it got into the streets now I’m just sitting here missing it

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Someone's gotta make a video game soley focused on SF. Think of the 3D photogrammetry that can be done now? Imagine them scanning & storing skate spots using that & putting it in a video game.
