Bring this series back in full swing. Patrick O’Dell has been nailing skateboarding docs for over a decade

[@thedonofthsht76-58]

Seriously I still watch old eps. They def need to bring it back

[@johnsiegel7912]

Amen

[@armin38822]

He's by far the best at it. I wish that at some point,everything comes together and we get a full Tom Penny documentary done by Patrick O'Dell. And I hope it isn't TV friendly but done trough some channel where everything can be said. Kinda like the old episodes.

[@daryx.langdale]

Yeah epicly later'd is one of the pieces of the old internet I feel like I'll always come back and revisit. Among my favorite skate related things, and maybe documentary series outside of skateboarding.

[@AKILLHAOK]

the best

[@dertythegrower]

I will never forget this ramp. So many legendary memories and busts.

[@mikepetrie]

big busts

[@robertbarnhart7791]

Best skateboarder that ever lived. I was lucky enough to see the Foundation team in 1995. A demo on a tennis court in Collier, Tennessee. Brad Staba, Josh Beagle and Heath Kirchart were the only people I recognized....I was 13 and had only been skating a couple years. Heath was blasting kickflips and frontside 360s over head high off a little jump ramp. Still have the pictures I took on a crappy little disposable camera. I got Heath to sign my shirt and I'm wearing it in my freshman year school picture

[@SkatinOnTrees]

He's still alive

[@CrunkNuts]

@@SkatinOnTrees He doesn't skate any more though.

[@orion7741]

meh.... admittedly, he was good, BUT he was not great. he was never truly one of the "greats" of skateboarding. even in his time, he was not even in the top 10 of skaters.

[@dankquixote]

Quick to forget Rodney Mullen I see

[@CrunkNuts]

@@dankquixote completely different skaters. Mullen was the godfather of creating tons of tricks but you definitely aren't going to see him grinding 20 stair handrails or kickflipping 15 stairs.

[@danielcharlesfilms2897]

Heath was and is a legend. Can't believe he actually did this.

[@wildlifecorridor]

2:56 almost like an evil villain chuckle, what a legend

[@blahbaconblah]

I used to live down the street from Bob's. We used to sit up on that hill in that nursery to the side of the ramp and watch guys ride. The scale of that thing was humbling. Gave you an adrenaline rush just looking at it.

[@Bigblob2013]

Heath is such a legend! I loved him ever since his amazing part in "The End" so cool that he is pushing himself to such different heights all these years later.

[@angsta22]

UNDER PRESSURE! lol

[@greens294]

Yea this happened 12 years ago, right before he retired. He definitely wouldn’t try this today

[@EL-CUCUY310]

heath kirchart is a legend man still watch his this is skateboarding part one of my favs

[@NittyGritty420]

I think sight unseen was his best part ever.

[@EL-CUCUY310]

Remember 411vm?

[@alw1217]

If there was going to be a street skater to hit that up, I'd definitely be Kirchart. Dudes been a beast his whole career. His part in "The End" was sick to death.

[@gnarXrad]

Please re-master or just re-release the OG series! There is so much gold in there, and the history! The Anti-Hero and Girl tour is forever burnt into my mind. So rad! \m/

[@hillbomb808]

damn love the sound of the ramp it’s so gnarly

"Heath is the perfect example of Strictly Business Skateboarding" -Andrew Reynolds, Transworld Anthology (2000)

[@nickconley4098]

Stop. STOP. Was that the most beautifully perfect 360 to ever softly grace the gentle surface of this fine earth?

[@mfburns7909]

Love the Skullhead Face shirt. RIP Dave Brockie

[@bigd50man]

Incredible that he was able to 360 nosegrab the mega ramp with a broken collar bone. Absolute legend and sheer grit!

[@anthonyvalli2455]

As a former vert skater, I think the reason I don't feel so sketched thinking about the gap is because I can't stop shitting my pants about the 25 foot (?) vert wall. To me, that's where it's gotta be like, "what the F did I get myself into?"

[@OPEK.]

i live and grew up less then 30 minutes away from where the megaramp is. it was like the holy grail that we knew about but never saw "yeah bob lives in vista bro the mega ramp is there for real!" It was like a old folktale that makes you feel like a little kid. i just told someone i work with today, hes in his 40s and rides bikes now but skated back in the day. we were talking about chad muska and he brought up bob. Didnt even know he was bobs neighbor lmao

[@davidconroy8577]

Vice getting back to its roots. More skate content 🙏🔥

[@dewmontain123]

I been skating for damn near 20 years. I can have a 30 min session and my knee is killing me. But with that being said. This is absolutely amazing.

[@goredohkackz1599]

Weak sauce

[@John-Doe-Yo]

who asked? hows that relevant? Lol

[@princequestly2218]

I never knew he did this, absolutely insane. But not surprising with his talent and level of skating.

[@magicwood2360]

That's one of the most savage things Ive ever seen!!🤙👊

[@SavageBambi]

Bob is a living legend

[@sneedball6028]

You’re about 15 years late on this vice wtf

[@zazmatyk]

So you're saying this video is... epicly late?

[@user-by6yc8yl7v]

It blows my mind how far skateboarding has come in the last 10 years

[@JonnyDIY]

Damn he retired young, glad he's still alive n kickin' 🤙

[@hornetsnest3916]

Heath is the man, always had such a cool style.

[@augiegonzalez1082]

That's the artistic beauty of it...

[@davids.816]

Heath is such a legend. I used to love watching these when it came out. Vice Sucks, but you guys need to bring this back.

[@EpicBurnReturn]

That footage had me crazy emotional at the end! So much respect for doing this! Legend

[@guntherbeckman1257]

Heath is an absolute maniac!

[@GREEN.EYED.ALLYCAT]

I love that this ramp is literally in the city of Vista,San Diego Ca. I live on the other side of where this ramp is located. The best little city in the world 🌎.

[@Largepro21]

There's a bunch of hidden ramps in California, abandon pools too haha 🌴

[@32srt32]

heath is the man! love watching him!

[@eyesdontsee]

I remember watching that video over and over as a teenager when it first dropped 😭

[@justinsibley_]

That is seriously epic.. nailing it after the broken collar bone, so clean

When Jerry said he saw it at the premiere. Can someone remind me what video it ended up in? Dont think it was in Stay Gold

Hahahahah I can relate to that elated laughing he gave after all that he Never Gave Up!

[@scottyk1763]

Gave me chills

[@og3suso978]

Every time i see someone stand a jump on that thing my jaw pops open 😮

[@StreetWarrior24]

Stay Gold is probably one of the most emotional videos ever made.

[@craigoliver500]

you go back and watch Heath's parts - the stuff he skated is still gnarly to this day. Way ahead of his time

[@eleh760]

Video does not do the mega ramp justice. I couldn’t even stand on the highest drop in. Props to anyone thats attempted it

[@mcdonaldsbigmac3935]

This needs to be loooong

Sic I watched as many of the best in the world trying it took many to the top in that side by side some more than 100 times in one session this by far was one of the most epic jumps I've seen great job mega is no joke I cleared the land and helped build that thing Me no way that 1/4 had me stiff as a dead man

[@matthewharris4966]

I wouln't try going straight over it either. Holding an air straight that long & far. Nope. I'd be straight into attempting 360s too. Believe it or not, i truely think anyone that can already spin & land 360s comfortably would do the same. More control.

[@lightfoot.2000]

Holding it down ! 🤘😎

[@ridefreeordie831]

Do epicly later'ds on the people behind the cameras! Photographers, videographers, etc... I bet they have tons of stories to tell.
