Dern Bros, you're killing it with this spot history series. I can't get enough.

[@t_race]

[@mattsb17]

Never disappoint

[@richardtessari3627]

Loving this spot history like the rest of the series. I was lucky enough to fly from NC to LA twice while in high school (Summer '99, Fall '00). Each time, my friends & I made the pilgrimage to Venice. The Pavilion/Pit were still there in '99. It was a dream come true to be there, especially after the Mouse video being watched so many times. The place smelled like old piss & full trashcans. Insanely lucky to just happen to be there when a few well-known skaters started rolling up to the hubba out back (Jeremy Wray, Pontus Alv I believe) . Then, more started showing up (Erik Ellington, Dustin Dollin, others I can't remember). Then more filmers started showing up (Rick Kosick, Atiba Jefferson). It turned into a huge get-together of so many different pros & teams. It was surreal. Chatted it up w/them & basically sat back & watched. A moment I'll never forget. The next year in '00, it was gone. The beginnings of the new Venice Pavilion had already been created, & it was such a different look/feel to what it used to be. Way before the current skatepark was built. Kinda like a beach plaza park. Chimneys & a few walls still tagged, basically decor in the sand. It was still fun & a treat to even be in LA @ that time, but it wasn't the same as the year prior. Great, great times! Brought some headies from CA back to NC for the homies, too. 😅

Just another one of my favorite videos ever - courtesy of the Dern BroS 💵

[@punishedsloth]

Chris is my favorite substitute Dern.

[@MiguelRockstarGarza]

This was so cool to find! Thanks so much! I was wondering what happened to the pavilion and searching the internet and couldn’t really find what I was looking for , saw this video and answered all my questions and I love skateboarding so finding this was perfect! Thanks again!

[@xaphan8581]

You know I wouldn’t be opposed if you guys had a Patreon where you guys had a monthly fee for bonus content. I fucking love this channel and watch every video when I see one so I would def support it

[@ethikzmedia]

the Pavilion Pit was such a beautiful spot, it looks so fresh to do a line there for your video part. its sad

[@reza_dc2]

those ledges looked perfect.

[@Bonzomallard]

Loving your content lads. You are amazing. Nice videography too. Great film making. Amazing skating 👌

[@jessetheobald908]

What is the song is 3:08?

[@anthonyhash7227]

Freedom plaza and the gold trail in dc would be a sickass episode! But for real ask the episodes are good no matter where y’all go! 💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@808v1]

such an iconic, beautiful spot.

[@KamaiPaddila-mz6ty]

Also those fallens

[@jeremylamovsky3669]

One of the coolest skate spots to ever exist anywhere. And in THPS 2. Guys ender in mouse? Switch shuv to switch crook the whole bench? Dope.

[@SavageAudits]

Great video! I love your musical selections. Hyped to be a new sub, here.

[@clyde19788]

I skated the pit once. it was when venice was starting to get exspensive and people were complaining about the genetrification back in 97 or 98. cant imagine venice now. been a long time since i was there. during the day it was pretty chill, but people said to leave at night cause the cholos come in.

[@naysebtc]

I remember going to cali back in 2002 and being well gutted that the pit was gone- I did paint the wall and have a skate though. Great vid as always dudes

[@DiegoBelen-j4l]

Sic that looks like such a fun skatepark. They got little stair sets and little hand rails to mess around and learn some tricks on then u got the bigger stair set and handrail to go big on

[@emisurfchannel2280]

Yeww LEGEND SPOT! From TONY HAWK 1

[@kushstreams4260]

No idea how a skating channel got recommended, but I'm with this suggestion KZbin. You guys kick ass!

[@AxlRose-ug5db]

The dern brothers rip 💯

[@MattFvrt]

I don't know anything about you guys. I'm not even done with this video. Instant sub.

[@warhammer1995]

Grew up in California and went to venice to ride bmx many times. Never knew about the pit area until just now. Looked cool!

[@Mikesonbikes]

The clips from SKT hard LET'S GOOOO

[@jordanmcdaniel2393]

another skatepark that gets crowds randomly (in summer) is Ojai.. but go any tuesday night for the old dudes bowl jam.

[@nickb5229]

So I’m guessing the 9 stair ledge is long gone now? That used to show up in a ton of 90s skate vids.

[@georgekarvounis6057]

Great vid!

[@Gorillaverde]

Good job you guys

Bro! No mention of the iconic curbs?!

[@intothebreak571]

7:05 shout out guy in bucket hat staring down the camera 😂

[@johnpope4023]

Circus flip was cool

[@EastDistrictWill]

Dam I remember we used to take the bus to Venice and spend all day in the pavilion. Good times

[@Nervous29]

I can still smell the mix of ocean air and piss. Man I miss skating Venice

[@nil4309]

@1:27 what film is this?

[@euphoricmonk]

Still waiting for the Nollie tre to smith grind out 😎

[@xylexut2589]

Didn't know venice skatepark was built in 2009. I always wondered why it wasn't in the tony hawk games.

[@DominarRygel-XVI]

4:47 damn i wish they would reprint those old fallen shirts like this and with the wizards and stuff

[@ryanrowe1975]

Awesome video

[@josiahamaze]

8:42 kanaan hahaha

[@travisbartholomew6646]

Thps map was lit 🔥

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Best day rave after parties there on Sundays .

[@CantFightRobots]

Venice is a hectic and crazy vibe but there's really no other place like it! I always recommend checking it out if you haven't been. Just remember it will be a little wacky, dirty and full of characters.

[@KrisW-c7j]

top shelve stuff

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

Best level in THPS 2

[@TheHipHopolypse]

What’s the song at 00:50

[@818valle]

What movie @1:26 ?

[@keithparker9503]

LA has many many great skateparks. Venice is just one.

[@hectorpinol7951]

The best brothers with the best content & memories. That’s a wild freaking place being from the east coast. Not a dis but a sterling area in California I would love to ride bmx. I know it’s frowned upon for bmxers to ride that park. What ya think?

[@darrelclymer5743]

Song at 1:00?

[@John-Johnson]

you guys can really skate earned a sub!

[@jdmresearch]

How about the famous curbs? Natas skated there in Streets on Fire (and A Reason for Living) and so did Eric Dresden in Speed Freaks. I’ve also seen recent clips of Chris Roberts skating there.

[@morgellon7877]

Who was it that ollied off the roof in the introductiry montage?

[@Zer0mavrickTV]

How big is that 9 stair? Like 5 feet tall? Imma be visiting the park soon and am wondering if it’s within my reach of Ollie’s lmao

[@hardrockertoygraphy]

Even though the pit is gone, the spot is immortalized in THPS2, THPS Underground and THPS 1+2 remake.

[@calvinbush8238]

damn i miss skating so bad. i also wish i grew up on you guys' side of the US! Im over in PA in country areas. wasnt as much options but we made it work haha

[@ezfromdablock8755]

What was the movie in the beginning around 1 minute 20 seconds ? So old I haven’t watched that in forever

[@DernBrothers]

Thrashin

[@j2c695]

Destin can you upload a video where your hair is different in every shot? Like different colors and shapes? Please hahaha

[@HOLLYWOODFUNNYGRANNY]
