“Can I be 50 filming 20 year olds? I don’t know gets a littleee weeiirrrdd” The start of the strobeck beef

[@TheJulesfoote]

Well said.

[@planetchopurcockoff]

alex greenberg john wilson and loads of other filmers film those new kids but i get what you mean lol strobeck should film josh kalis jake anderson again imo

[@planetchopurcockoff]

not saying strobeck doesn’t film his riders lol***

[@infinidominion]

Beef Stroganoff

[@NathFilms]

“50 filming dudes in dresses”

[@ryanking4163]

Me and my friends were obsessed with weekendtage, Grant’s a legend!!

[@dinosaurthat]

Yo the that Brad call was fucking hilarious !!!! 😆🤣

[@grant_skis]

from one grant to another, keep it up!

[@pjkirschbaum]

Wish there was more on OG ripndip days , Ryan O’Connor, Johan Stuckey and Bert Wooten.

[@skylerbernal]

The best!

[@vanheestvisual]

that was awesome

[@Saiyamanmc]

"said i was disrespecting the hammer" im fucking dying over here lmao the way grant tells stories is hilarious

[@planetchopurcockoff]

jim greco is a kook lol

[@terryferkey2179]

Grant is one of the best dudes in the industry.

[@sean78745]

Holy shit seeing Austyn's back 180 spot up close is insane. Its massive

[@TheOneHundredPercent]

Impressive innit? No fear.

[@tomgann9383]

Dude is so underrated

[@zackmccurdy8144]

Holy shit. You’re not wrong! I was waiting for that part. Insane.

[@suar3zj]

"HK's gonna be there, could be good for your career idk" had me dying

[@caseyaylward8853]

Grant is being very humble cuz the dude is doing big shit. You know your company is rad when you can make a couple phone calls and legends will show up just to do a cameo in your skit. If your shit is even remotely wack homies aint showing up.

[@A8A24]

The most entertaining company. The vibes, the synergy, the creativity. Grant and the WKND crew are forever goated.

[@andyjohnson4008]

"Here you go my little skaters" made me laugh way more than it should have haha

[@matthewjames206]

Best "skitboarding" company out there. I'm a big fan of all the WKND videos. I look forward to seeing more 🍻

[@BetterSkateThanNever]

skit legend & straight up comedian, so many good laughs :D so hyped for 10 more yrs & i hope he's still involved at 60, on the spike jonze skit director tip

[@ianfacerollsyou]

remember being in high school watching weekend tages, now I'm a 30 year old fuck but glad to see where Grants at today, so sick!

[@jasonsimotes4157]

Grant, I grew up watching Jackass just the same. Got into skateboarding and found Weekendtage. I have a copy of Cosmic Vomit. Wore RipNDip clothing to support til RND got big into Zumiez and heard some things about the owner. Y’all we’re an inspiration to me. I shared so many laughs and felt like y’all were my homies. Glad you started your own thing and I hope it bring you many years of success. You Rob and Johan were the life of Weekendtage. I’m about to go back and watch your old stuff. Thanks for many years of laughs. Hope for more to come.

[@THEBIGLEBOTSKI74]

Best one yet?! Dude is hilarious, the beefs are too much 😂

[@blookazoo192]

The importance of friendship is captured really well love to see it very inspiring

[@blookazoo192]

“One day we’ll have a skatepark, just like prod” haha love that

They need to busy the cockiest move in the industry and bring johan back🚫🧢

[@MadDgtl]

jesus lol trying to fight someone at a wedding is crazy levels of "i'm the main character" syndrome

[@lordfrieza3982]

I saw this dude get punched in the face at a skatepark he worked at.. probably 15 years ago or more..shi crazy

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

😂😂 no way, why did he get punched?

[@world_of_manny_malibu]

Oh shit elaborate

[@Tasteless_Uncle]

Phipps?

[@lordfrieza3982]

@@Tasteless_Uncle yea it was at phipps

[@lordfrieza3982]

@@world_of_manny_malibu I think it was cuz he owed a guy a decent amount of money and kept putting him off..dude has enough ig

[@quincypinetree]

i love this series so much bc it shows all the different personalities in skateboarding. Also, I didn't really know much about wknd but now I can say im a fan!

[@bigdrefromthebay6475]

I would love to know what happened to johan

[@daynethemayne1851]

We will never know.. same w/ Al Davis + Quasi, Yonnie Cruz + Chocolate, Tyler Warren + Alltimers, and so on.

[@alexbutlerful]

He kinda fell off the face of the earth after being accused of spreading herpes to sexual partners a few years ago. Whether or not it was true, I don't really know, but I definitely miss his skating and wish he would resurface. Grant dropped him from WKND because it wasn't a good look.

[@Riv_Flow]

Every time I see the title “out there” think of Project Pat’s “out there” song 😂

[@kaleidoscopex7213]

Lame of Austyn Gillette 2 drop out , dude is such a money grabber he reminds me of those people that one up your trick just cause he feels like it

[@iamkool12342]

10:27 "he said i was disrespecting the hammer" lmaooo

[@JeffFadness]

Thanks for keeping skateboarding entertaining. Weekendtage is still the funniest shit ever made.

[@jejelad]

Sounds like Staba can dish it out but can't take it lol

[@andylowe447]

He didn’t bring up the jimmy beef. That is his finest beef imo

[@NuggetMan]

we love you yendogg

[@MerkleAkrunphleuphle]

OMG THE BANANA PEEL HAHAH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT.

[@Turtleboykid]

it's crazy film buffs like tom k and jordan made it on to wknd. Match made in heaven for those guys to get to work with someone as creative as grant.

[@samsgotplans]

He was clearly born to do what he does. Shit, it wouldn't surprise me if his DNA test come back showing hes got VX chromosomes. The man's gifted.

[@GizmoGary]

WKND represents my favorite aspects of skateboarding. Grant's keeping the culture alive and constantly adding to it, we all need to thank this man for his contributions!

[@NathFilms]

Best thing in skateboarding is people that have fun and like to talk some shit without taking it serious

[@mattd1659]

How have I never put 2 and 2 together that they’re the same dudes that made weekend tage? I would watch them all the time at uni

[@berthink]

Grant if you're lurkin these comments, we all love your shit and please continue to do exactly what you guys do because it's the best shit goin in skateboarding imo, I'll always support WKND

[@TheCollinsherlock]

Cosmic Vomit was one of my favorite videos back in middle school, and loved all the Weekendtage stuff! Pumped to see Grant still killing it!

[@williamdavis9313]

I still got the dvd bro!

[@al_chargedup]

First time hearing of this dude and he is sick af. Kinda living the dream life.

[@janiggaski]

What happened to all the weekendtage videos?

[@tomcampbell8934]

Jesus Christ that back 180 was fucking mind blowing

[@bransolo11]

[@welit954]

The Nikolai "are you okay bitch you're sweating od" gets me every time 😂

[@dwightyawg7781]

WKND brings a fun, silly side to skating kinda how enjoi used to. Very different but much needed

[@foodforthegods]

Dude, "disrespecting the hammer" 🤣Who would say that in earnest in that context? That beef is unwarranted, it's so stupid.

[@andrewashford5617]

So fire! I remember going to old navy before they made the krew skinny’s and all they had was bootleg flares so we had to sew em from the kneecap to the ankle to make skinny’s and put the whole world on to skinny’s! Even tho they were in rock culture forever, in 04 it was tall tees and the baggiest jeans u could find. U couldn’t find skinny’s anywhere. We put lil b and the new boys on them vans and skinny’s and changed the world! But them greccos and Reynolds were the hardest pants in the game

[@bronze4871]

Sick
