[@DanteScorpio-ml7wf]

Hey I want to share with you guys that on some of those shopping cart holders that you see at the grocery store parking lot can easily be made into a rail that you can skate very easily

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@blaiseailey3563]

Love you so much Chris! Seeing you featured in this episode made my day!

[@808v1]

yes crob

[@TRKTKO]

You're the man Chris! Thanks for representing skating well!

[@DernBrothers]

Sorry for the reupload, had to fix a few things!

[@coseph4442]

worth the rewatch. you guys have been absolutely killing it.

[@sandhanitizer15]

No need to apologize.

[@Justdont693]

Awesome video!!!

[@usernameonutube]

Thanks for all the great work! Preserve the courthouse!

[@twitchgrass3849]

Epic video! So much info, so long and I still didn’t want it to end. 🤟

[@jackoliverdrums]

1:22 Squirrel trying to get a trick on the ledge. 9 club for sure 👌

[@szanghaj_joe2790]

Squirrels has some serious pop, same like Brazilians :D

[@cortecortes6057]

Or maybe he's only a Brazilian squirrel just wanting to get famous!​@@szanghaj_joe2790

[@LJ7000]

This one spot contains almost everything that represents street skating, it's almost poetic. LA, perfect design, super illicit, total reimagining of original idea, very aesthetically pleasing, and now total decay and sadness. It's funny that this was a much better spot before you were allowed to be there. It's almost like skating thrives better that way. And finally the fact it was an actual courthouse is the cherry on top, you couldn't make this place up. It's super sad the city closed this place to save money.

[@collinsmith5849]

Nothing like private property that gets destroyed. It’s a shame that they wouldn’t allow vandalism

[@crissoriiano]

Ayeee that’s me skating the roof gap 🗣️❤️ #earlygrab thanks for the mention

[@WorkThrowaway]

You're a savage for that one.

[@theacgkid]

Shout out to Chris for being in this video after the Nine Club episode!

[@gaellemasson3176]

That look back on skateboard history is a great gift to the skateboard community! Quality show for real!

[@AustinWilsonGlass]

agreed!

[@FaultySporkMa]

Nick Tucker owns that stage

[@dreamyeye4015]

Yeah, definitely not Chris Roberts the Virgin

[@vxyz5219]

Without a doubt

[@RedonRedGutta923]

What about Kelly hearts fakie treflip to fakie manny

[@vxyz5219]

@@RedonRedGutta923 As sick as that is, it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the list of incomprehensible tricks Nick Tucker has done to this spot

[@PatrickByrne-e5v]

@@dreamyeye4015 But he took your last week virginity so its all square

[@camerpin]

Zach Doelling is just a machine.

[@jameskazd9951]

yeah he is, did you see his video titled something like "the chris cole challenge" where he does like 100 different flip tricks on a quarter pipe? i dont care who you are, if you can land treflips, varial heels, hardflips and inward heels in every stance, on a quarter, you are a pretty damn good skater

[@GeFarr]

​@@jameskazd9951dude rips 💯

[@beau5316]

Doeling is my favorite skater for sure. 👊

[@WatsonatorTV]

YES! I was hoping this was next, keep killing it with the Spot Histories boys! Zach Doelling is so incredibly talented, I hope he continues to have amazing things come his way.

[@EsotericEric88]

That squirrel was just chillin’ with Roberts 😆

[@johncarpenter8527]

Switch flip switch manny on that thing now that someone made an in depth video is actually gnarly. Chris killed that thing dude. Well done boys

[@81casperflip]

Thank you. This is the perfect father's day gift

[@dannyb982]

This is crazy. Paused halfway through because of Aaron Snyder. Checked him out on the gram and found some alternative angles he filmed of Steve Olson going off the roof to boardslide. The rabbit hole goes super deep with skateboarding! Love this series.

[@internetj3r]

You guys really are doing gods work out here with these history videos! Thank you! Forever grateful for the history lesson!

[@Chad.Pilling]

Woke up from a beer nap and seen this gem of a video! Oh life is good!! 🛹🛹

[@Dave3rdEyeArt]

Zachs a homie, chill dude for sure! Absolutely shreds!!!

[@ZabelZarock-uy3vp]

Chris Cole I believe also ollie'd up the other side of the stage. It was in his Digital 4 part.

[@NittyGritty420]

With all the sick tricks Chris has done at the courthouse it’s amazing how he is able to stay so humble.

[@AustinWilsonGlass]

Zach doelling is on another level of balance! insane skills!

[@LacedBacon]

Would love if you guys could travel and do The Wedge in Scottsdale, Az. Lots of tricks went down on the double set ledges/rails.

[@HipTrent]

I have been working on my senior project for landscape architecture designing more skate obstacles and surrounding programs for the West LA skate plaza. This video is going to be so helpful in order to finish the project! So much history and it's a gem that is worth preserving.

[@Chris-cl6gr]

Love the spot history series. Always entertaining for us skate nerds. I think that this episode would have been better as a multi part though like the parents' house parts. Would love to see some Barcelona spot history soon!!! Besos bumps (the skinny ones on the side walks) and the Besos Waves (bump over bar) would probably be at the top of my list. But you could obviously get 10's of spot history videos out of Barci. Fun excuse for a trip too!

[@DernBrothers]

Thanks! I briefly though of doing this as 2 videos but ultimately thought it should be together cause of how everything flows together, especially when people do lines on the ledges and stage in one run

[@jameskazd9951]

Cool to see Zach in this, the guy absolutely shreds

[@DEVOn.A.Skertic]

One of my many favorite things from The Derns : Spot History. Thank you.

[@Justdont693]

Best skate channel on KZbin. They got it all. And it doesn’t feel like… other KZbinrs. It’s more. Real?! I dunno. Not over the top or anything.

[@DEVOn.A.Skertic]

@@Justdont693 , Total.

[@PixelGameSquad]

Super dope boys!

[@NayburhoodSnipa]

I love how Zach's style is so aggressive while being refined at the same time.

[@imchristhegangster]

So happy you had the Reynolds’s back nose grind on the stage, that’s my favorite trick on the stage, the way the song was kickin and the way it was filmed, it’s just one of those tricks locked in my brain. ❤

[@SkateFish8]

Love what you guys are doing for the skate community. All that editing and research is a lot of work. Respect

[@The_StairTool]

Thanks! Needed a good spot check.

[@DernBrothers]

Thank you very much! I’m glad you are enjoying the video

[@Thurston86]

Always loved the Creager line where it starts by Bs Flipping outta the Top Fountain! 🤘👽👽👽

[@subdivision141]

A Spot History on Embarcadero Plaza would be dope. Such an iconic spot with so much tricks to talk about

[@toddt.]

Much luv for these dudes. Good shit My household growing up Was us 3 boys And it was rad

[@RIPTurhaAKACryptidHunter]

Well good thing it's back again! 😂 I saw this live and loved every second... keep it up guys❗️💜

[@rollingfunskateboarding561]

Awesome history of famous W. LA Court house. Zach is amazing too. Thank you all for what you do for skateboarding ❤

[@gordonneverdies]

I'm almost 40 and that stage has been famous since I started skating as a kid. The whole spot really. Awesome spot!

[@AustinWilsonGlass]

Epic Spot History episode! Im happy you guys got to do this spot before its gone!

[@Conor8urns]

We love Chris even though he never leaves the studio❤️ Best series on KZbin.

[@konradmaerzluft985]

Check out Serra High in San Diego. That school has been around for quite some time and some iconic skating and skaters have skated there.

[@dome6corde]

Lotta love for this spot. Varial Heelfliped the stage!

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

Another banger! One thing I'd love to see though is when you show the clips from the spots, if you could put the name of the skate video it's in as well. Not only to give credit to the filmers/companies who made the videos but for all the people watching who maybe doesn't know about all these amazing old videos yet and want to check them out!

[@kevindoidge9586]

This might just be the best episode

[@AdamCeladin]

What a Great Episode! Awesome Job Guys !!!

[@scottieskatan4219]

This was brilliant lads and loved yah 9 club interview to keep on killing it.. ...

[@dOuPdMe]

Would you guys do a spot history abroad? I think that’d be a cool addition to this series. Keep it up 🔥🔥

[@DernBrothers]

Trust us, we really want to! But we don’t have the funds for those kind of trips yet! Hopefully soon!

[@jvincemusic]

Wow that’s a great savings on those Factor products! I’ve been spending a small fortune at the grocery store lately 😢 Dern Bros 4 the win! 🙌🏼🍛

[@iamnotanumber100]

Never delete this video, this is history 👏👏👏

[@morrow49]

I could watch courthouse skating forever

[@Harde_man]

This video was crazy👍🏼 So glad I got clips here

[@johnhutsler8122]

Legendary spot! Soooo much has gone down here

[@Kotaburns]

the stage corrections were silly and made me laugh love your guys videos

[@danthegeetarman]

Such a classic spot

[@chris73brown]

My buddy willy grinded it in late 80s if that counts. That 1st ledge u guys were talkin about. Great episode. Keep up great work. Love ur vids

[@skate_slack_juggle]

thx for doing this. so fun to watch. all the best

[@DazedCutty]

This was awesome. As it always is. Cool to see Crob and one of my favorite skaters Zach Doelling. Thanks Dern Bros!

[@RealSkateStories]

THANK YOU for pointing out where it all started for this spot: Eric Dressen, Risk It 1990 #shootwithTR

[@yikes6969]

36:00 .......ooooohhhh you gonna ruffle some jimmies with that

[@teeple1877]

Sick! Watching from Montana. My buddy Rob is the dude sitting in the background in fountain at 3:09 when Tiago does the Nollie crook!

[@ryankuhn926]

Your videos heal my level 4 ankle roll much faster than usual. Thank you

[@wiggztv]

Love every second of these. Thank you for the time and energy you put into creating them!

[@sk8nsn031]

Sweet spot! That would be a great place to host a street skate event/contest spot! A lot of opinions to rip on! Thank you for a great video! 🤙

[@josiahamaze]

47:14 So cool yall got the man behind the scenes

[@thecactuspat]

Hell yeah, love the collab!! Keep up the great work!

[@machinegunhand2]

such a nice looking spot when its cleaned up ..

[@nickhomiee]

Great job on this one! Good to see crob!

[@charliekrieg3240]

Casey Rigney! One of the best! Anacortes' finest!

[@Bateroxcore]

Best collab ever!! its like the power rangers and the ninja turtles handshake T.T

[@corbandallas1905]

The late 90’s/early 2000’s were awesome for skateboarding. It helped make my high school years sooooo much better. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I just missed my 20 yr high school reunion last year lol

[@JoseSanchez-de7rp]

All your videos are really good!

[@randall_4126]

the vids just keep getting better. great stuff boys. Love it. i showed these vids to my wife so she understands why i set of stairs can be so important in skating haha.

[@moeterbank]

I hope some of you realize how much work and love the they put in their work. Love the squirell!😅

[@tomsativa]

here for the switch flip manual. this is gold

[@goskateminnesota7256]

@40:48 that Switch frontside flip up, backside flip down. My favorite trick on the stage.

[@JayDee-p1x]

These edits are the best!

[@benmaclean2789]

tres flip nose to nollie front foot flip is my all-time favorite

[@Racoon_UK]

Add some retro stuff That generation don't remember 2001 RickMcCrank performance at Philly 😅

[@Thumopolis]

16:24 the invisible kickflip 😂😂😂

[@anonymity2882]

You can the difference from how much nicer it was back in the 90's to the wasteland it is now. California has become such a dissapointment that its depressing.

[@CSDonohue11]

I love the old school clips with The OG Hip Hop It All takes Me back

[@Labergemusic]

Oh this gonna be good

[@Justdont693]

It’s good!!!

[@donnytucker]

Anytime I hear the name beagle I only think of Josh beagle and not the other dude. I loved Josh beagle was on foundation in the 90s.

[@DougTunnler]

he was one of Foundation's first ams iirc.

[@Chad.Pilling]

Come to Vancouver for a spot review! I’ll make smoked brisket for you guys

[@jcsk8]

50 min of Epicness. Thanks.

[@BLVCKSEA]

you guys should do 3rd and Army or Clipper ledge

[@rawdknee]

Duc and John skated the stage in Rubbish Heap in ‘89. Might be the first footage of the stage.

[@toat5546]

This video had me going back to a old video part of mines from 2015 to watch a line I got there. It was a dream come true to skate the spot

[@vizual06]

Great video! i love this episode

[@ScamLikely9327]

Lmao at the little La Tiny Horse and Cowboy to match. That’s hard as hell.

[@thomaspreszcator]

Killed it once again

[@benwagner3692]

please dont stop spot history videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jgatti8742]

Just visited and skated there today. Still going strong.

[@NitroFil]

Sick vid as usual! Re: When people starting skating this spot - talk to Realskatestories. He filmed some clips there in the 80s (I think with Eric Dressen), so those were the first ones.

[@pepemerlot]

Issue 16 411 , Opening Nollie Backside 180 flip up Stage !

[@WestonFromHB]

Love this place. I hope they never tear it down. 🙏

[@Yukendoit]

Jumping off the roof looks likes a leg breaker 5000.

[@thechipvids]

That’s definitely Chris’s ledge, he’s the first one I remember going all the way! Great vid! I really would love to see 3rd and army

[@AMMAZZARE]

If C-Rob is involved I’m definitely watching

[@terminallove1587]

Chris Joslin 2015 part switch flipped the roof/bush gap attached to the courthouse building next to the four stair where all the Eric Koston lines were done.
