T-Funk is the truth. I can't even imagine the feeling of doing a trick that makes John Fuckin Cardiel say holy shit that was crazy. On top of the fact that people have been skating it for 30 years and no one thought it was even possible.
In slip-ons, no less 💀
Slappy life
Dude even the line he did with the hippie jump through under the rail at the end was sick as fuck. But yea when the OGs are like holy fuck you know some shit went down! I still don't know how the fuck they got that picture I don't see anyone taking pics in the footy no flash nothing I wonder if he went back to get the photo or if someone was there I'm missing.
@@MycoMatty yeah that hippie jump was like.. wtf magic. and the slip ons.. lol
@@MycoMatty They take pictures during any try even if it's not a make. As long as they actually land the trick they can use whatever pictures
Man that was a pretty awesome little doc! I'd love to see more of them about different spots.
Hear hear!!

Seeing Phil Shao and Phelper again now that I'm older hits a certain level of nostalgia and beauty. RIP

@@timmckenney9012 100%!!!! 🍤🍦
This was all pure art. Seeing Tristan so in the zone at full speed and completely committed is so fucking inspiring.
Been cool if they had a radar to see how fast he was booking
full double arm pump pushing is the shit
I love everything about this! More Thrasher docs please!
Tim McKenney was always a favorite - his Think 'Dedication' part was right up there
Thank u ace... my favorite time is 12:34 am.. when the stripers come out to feed... phil shao forever 🖤
SHOUT OUT!!!
This video gives me chills. Good job. STILL WATCHING !
👊🏽
🕶
Phil Shao RIP 🙏
NeverforgetPhilShao🖤
I have not skated China Banks since 1987. i remember a couple of times the security guards would do the "slow roll" and of course we would see them and leave before making contact. We never skated it way more mellow than these guys ha ha. I remember I had to push with all my might just to get a little backside grind with a coper on that nasty brick.
So many legends and future legends in this video
Grey haired satva! Legend.
More of these please. Fantastic.
An epic 40 year history of a legendary SF spot! And a perfect document to the never ending progression of skateboarding. Fucking incredible!!
Thank you!
I remember skating there in the mid to late 80’s. Such a fun spot!
Legendary.
I first skated the China Banks in the summer of 1987. 🛹
Dang, on those big 80s wheels?
Mark with the puppet at the end....what a fuckin rad vid...
More of these would be sick
The fact y’all got Larry…heavy
Need more of these on famous spots
That was sick.
Glad thrasher did a cool doc on a spot that’s been a part of skate history for over 30 years but doesn’t really get talked about.. need more of these like this. Spots that been being skated for generations but don’t get the recognition it deserves for being such a part of history. Thanks thrasher!
One of my all-time favorite spots. Not that I was good, but it's a place of mystery and history. Shout out to Mike Alcantar who had some of the raddest style and Tim McKinney who is always in full send mode. Great memories. Thanks for the great edits, Schmitty!
❤. Walls of meadow heights while I was in 3rd grade... You ripping... shoutout to the BULLWHIP
Thanks@@timmckenney9012 Coming from you that's saying a lot 🤯
Yeah Kess! Alcantar and Raposo interviews in the works...
@@TalkinSchmit Awesome! I think about the old GoSkate crew all the time and all the ridiculousness. Growing up with you guys was one of the coolest things ever. I was just telling tales to my son just last night. Stoked for your success, Schmitty. Please tell the guys Kess says hi.
More of these videos please! Me and all my friends are so hyped on this video. We need more spot docs!
I love this. I grew up skating in the Bay Area in the 90’s. The transition at China banks, is basically unskateable unless you’re a g to op level pro street skater. This documentary brought back great memories. Do a doc on hubba hideout next please!
respect to the time and effort that was put into this.
Big ups to Schmitty!
Wow the progression on that spot was second too none
More of these docs and the My Wars
This was weird, I was at the part where Rowan says "that was the year I was born" and I got an Instagram notification saying Rowan posted for the first time in a while. Tripped me out lol
This was so sick, sf skating def feels underrated although has this rich history
I absolutely love skateboarding! Thanks Thrasher
What’s crazy about the skating now is so many kids are just now turning 20 and they have had some of the gnarliest skate videos ever and skaters ever to see what’s possible. Skate history is being made every day as we speak. So sick
Natas and Gonz using the same sweatshirt.... perhaps from the same session? Also, Natas' trick looks more like a fs disaster than a slash grind, but that's perhaps just the way the picture is taken.
MORE OF THESE PLEASE
I used to fly to SF for work and on my first trip, I stayed at the Hilton Financial District. I looked out my window and thought..."Is that the china banks? The actual banks are right here?" Went back to the same hotel all the time but never got to see a session, which makes sense given how rough the spot is. The giant gap Pat Duffy ollies at the end of Subtitles is right around the same place, so much crazier in person. My legs are bad and can't skate anymore but I try to still stay connected to skateboarding.
EDIT: hahah, they talk about the Duffy gap. Serves me right to type a comment too early thinking they wouldn't.
U can do it.. go to a hill and enjoy the wind.. shred for the ⛲ kiddo.. trust me🔥❤🗽
SK8ARMY4LIFE🙏👍
Such a good watch! Great little doc
20:54 - That Tristan Funkhouser line is amazing... all of that in one line??? 🤯🔨
These guys are so good
More videos like this please.
The Funk popped that shit in the classic checkerboard Sean Penn kicks, f#$kin sick.
Great to see Satva….I loved his fs flips
Man this is beautiful , I would be fuckin str8 hyped to keep getting these Spot Bible mini docs , fuckin sick
Such a sick vid....EMB next!!!
Please make more docs about skate spots
Everybody knows every real skater has their own style and there all so fucking awesome to watch
I know you guys got hundreds of hours of Phelps and you can make hours of a videos with him in it and it's just gonna keep feeling like hes here with us right now RIP Phelps
Thank you for this Thrasher!!
This was such great mini doc need more of these.
Thanks thrasher.
Do one on Lockwood elementary. Or a good one will be the Hewlett-Packard rail in the north Hollywood.
such a rad spot. and great doc guys
I remember trying to skate those things in like '96 with some 45 or 47 mm wheels.....like nope, not a damn chance.
More of these. Lots more.
This reminds me of that really old On video where they did a similar thing w hubba hideout. I can't imagine anyone who likes skating at all not LOVING this vid! Sidenote: I miss Think, are they still around? The song was rad too
Gone but not forgotten... those were the days....
@@timmckenney9012
🔨🔨🔨💪
gotta love the skate history clips
i'm seriously trippin on Busenitz back 180 fakie manny, that's fucked. Really wish we could have gotten more Phil Shao footage before he passed, dude was so stylish, especially for his era. RIP.
🖤PHILSHAO&ERICJFOREVER🖤
I’ll enjoy watching content like this till I die!
China banks is wild
Well done👌
This was fucking rad! Great fucking job guys!
Hell yeah Schmitty! Came out sickk!
Gonz at the end!
as i stated to some other vids / groups, i absolutely love seeing this ! and like the game of chess; which is called the great equalizer. no matter who you are, what language you speak, what color you are, what economic background you come from, chess is chess and anyone can play against anyone. same goes for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, they are also great equalizers, it is universal, no matter if you from Canada, Kenya, Australia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Russia, japan, that all love to skate and are doing the same things, as well as creating new tricks. enjoying it, having the same passion and love, no matter who they are or where they are. skating and skate-parks are universal.
I want to see bust or bail on that spot!!! Make it happen thrasher magazine! ❤️
Damn, straight up Thrasher is like the National Discovery of skateboarding ! Loved this
That was Rad.
Chin would be Stoked! 🤘
Dope doc, I've been there, and it's harder to skate then to pictures and video show. Mad respect to the ones that got trucks there big and small.
Incredible and comprehensive.
I think we need to see a kiclflip over the 12 foot bench now. Seems like the natural next step.
that was so good!! need more of it
Committed Respect
great video... oh and tfunk is nuts
This was so good
Holy fuck Satva Leung I forgot about that guy!
Been to Sf and skated this spot with some small hard wheels, too hard to keep speed, it’s more rad than it looks. Any tricks done here is amazing !
Really hyped to have gotten a trick on this a few years back
Tfunk my all time fav🙏🏼
Oh man, never got to that spot. I live in ny now
So god damn amazing
Nobody talking about the BMX rider plummeting off the edge?
for real need to know the story behind that
Do more of thsi
Shit was too sick need more
GONZ said at the end that he would sh-t his pants if he saw a certain trick done at the china banks. That made the whole video worthwhile for me in a single brief moment LOL
We need more of these videos
Nice to see Jake Phelps again :*)
id give this 10000 likes love docs like this
Mark is hilarious!!!!! 🤣
Dope Thrasher recovers infamous spots.
Always buy mags wen seeing!. OffTopp
That was gnarly
I need to find that China banks song!!!
so sick
satva's 10k from the city is the best trick, Phelps' "taxing the man"
Satva is awesome
Never thought I’d see a monster logo in the beginning of a thrasher video
That spot was in skate 3 i remember it well 😁
Do Hollywood 16 next !
Hell yeah
This should be called "Skate History : China Banks"
Funk house!!
WTF... tfunk has the best ollie
