i had fun there on my visit. the train/bus system and the people that ride them are awsome💜

[@jphansen5299]

So sick seeing these spots get shredded like that

[@jovanwinning6112]

I get so much energy watching these videos just as i was kid

[@AllenSowell]

Reynolds is always a pleasure to watch skate or meet still my favorite & super nice guy . He had asked if I wanted to make a dollar bet on a fakie 360 flip down the small double set in Springfield Oregon since we both were trying it to back each other .What was I thinking 😂 I stuck it and he ended up landing it . Was a fun time he made it a very fun experience as a young 15/16year old kid . Now 33 still watching and he still hasn’t missed a beat.

[@e-money.]

Was awesome meeting all of you, thank you so much for coming out. Meeting Tiago for real was a dream come true. Much love and wishing everyone well

[@ThrasherMag]

He's the best

[@crkrcksteady]

You'd think maybe seeing Tiago Lemos going mach-10 to switch back tail the ledge you're sitting on would indicate to you that maybe you should get up for a little bit, maybe walk around for a bit or ya know, just go anywhere but keep sitting on that ledge.

[@stevenewton6776]

seriously

[@Andrew-kx1sq]

out of all the cities i've skated chicago is by far my favorite. always cool to see the big time pros roll through

[@Noir-Tesseract]

It looked like Gary Rodgers had some hype man competition with the dude in the do-rag 🤣

[@rahmanpermana4741]

lol thought the exact same thing

[@bynachek]

That speed to long marble ledge - outstanding 🤯

[@antonmyhrvold]

That was enjoyable to watch like skate videos in my day where it seems like everyone is just having fun & getting tricks.

[@6to8john]

Great edit, cool seeing all the b roll stuff with the team. Thanks for sharing!❤🙌

[@Lifeewitheman]

Thanks for coming out! Getting that selfie with Reynolds was the best feeling!

[@nicbow]

that was amazing, thanks to everyone & the team, loved watching your good energy

[@kennynewell85]

So stoked I got to meet Reynolds and Joy last year. This was dope. Everyone killed it.

[@grandmarquee9434]

Tiago with the OG ghetto bird!!! 🤯🫡

[@kodymonroe2613]

Can you imagine pulling up to the spot and you see all those guys skating 😮 I still remember bumping into some pros in London skating a 14 and it blew my mind in real life.

[@supremereader7614]

Amazing video, seem like really cool guys - Thrasher is the best - not only for skating but the whole film.

[@mikeylynch7260]

To anyone reading this, if you're worried or nervous about getting into skateboarding, try not to be, the community is amazing and I have learnt so much about life and met some really awesome people whilst shredding. Skateboarding is a movement, a culture, a community and a safe space to grow as a human being. Best of luck on your journeys, mine continues to be a great one so I hope yours is too.

[@jos7886]

I love to see this. Wish I would have known this was taking place in my backyard. This has such good old world early 2000s vibes.

[@glehman84]

Everything crushes about this, the clip of Reynolds holding a 24-year-old VHS of Baker2G in 2024 got me feeling all the feels, the squad rips, but man Tiago all day every day, the legend is forever allergic to slowing down, and that switch hammer fest on the handrail at the end was off the charts, more Gary Rogers is always welcome, too, my Tuesdays are still feeling a huge gap but you do you, King, and keep it up, NBA skate!

[@SquangSkateboards]

Vibes are unmatched in this video

[@turtleboypurp]

always dope when you see new pros going even harder than they were before. Patrick was going off with the steeze in this.

[@jasher1347]

The boss on new balance. Bravo!

[@bee444skate9]

Epic ! All these guys are there on 1 team

[@EDCsteals]

Anyone else remember Neen from A Midwest Video???? This is years before he went pro. Still remember going to the premier back in like 2002-2003. Man I wish more teams would take trips to Chicago, love seeing them hit spots I used to skate

[@alanrosenquist3254]

I was also at the Premiere! Watched that video religiously growing up!

[@ThrasherMag]

this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGXTlZqOhJZlrqM

[@BillyBats773]

Neen was a killer, same with Sinner too. Both from the area.

[@Skatevloggen]

So dope to see Andrew Reynolds out there in the streets. Real veteran and goat that made a huge impact on the skate-scene for many years!!

[@45lifetime]

Came for the skating....stayed for the golf claps. awesome video

[@destructo3915]

Dang, didnt know this was happening. I live in Chicago and I totally missed this!

So good. What a flipping crew. It’s for sure a bean.

[@70qq]

goes straight from the Booker T wrestler dude to the Midnight Express music playing in the van scene ... seamless

[@SamLSkates]

NB# has the sickest team, great combination of older legends like the Boss, Westgate and Cookie, current & fully established rippers Tiago Foy and Villani, and some of the younger/lesser known dudes like Praman Kessner and Ryan Lay

[@Gauthier-yg4go]

Always good asf

the olympics will never compare to these skate jams. roll forever keep the streets alive.

[@hkr321hkr]

@11:00 is the same benches I tried to just Ollie over and when I landed the board went into a crack, went backwards, and I flew forward and dislocated my shoulder 😢. I'll never forget that spot. I'll do it again now at 47 💪🤘 at least try again 🤘💪👍

[@danielsummerour]

Flamingo ledge is one of the best spots ever

[@dieselsour]

I already know that "dogs dont eat bananas" drawing is lit. No bs that man has a lot of stuff that wouldn't look bad on a skateboard.

Tiago Lemos' nollie hardflip @ 7.40 is possibly the trick of the decade good lord.

Tiago is the best! ❤❤❤

Classic chicago shit to just keep sittin on the ledge. As well as the WWE man he a local

[@ThrasherMag]

He was fired up

[@zacharyrobison383]

I mean kinda annoying but if they were there first?? We can all share outdoor public spaces. Kicking people off there spot so you can skate is a bit fried. There is plenty of space for all to share 😎😘

[@drose84]

Id rather be in 1 session with these guys (which id mostly spend on crying with joy over meeting Reynolds), than to have been sent for free to a weekend in Paris for the Olympics and a 5 star hotel... (no disrespect to all the dudes and dudets at the Olympics...!) cheers from Tel Aviv ✌🍻
