San Francisco will always be Mecca. You can't skate-stop the hills... Keep up with Thrasher Magazine here: www.thrashermag... / thrashermagazine / thrashermag / thrashermag
I am a 40-year-old homeowner and would love to see some bad ass skateboarders use my stoop this way! This video is amazing, really great skating and the cameraman has balls of steel! Excellent job, I just hope y'all got the bag back.
JoeAllenMusic RonanSkates 247 thanks! I just have the benefit of being a half assed skateboarder when I was younger and my daughter skates. I just can't imagine not appreciating what these guys are doing its dangerous beautiful and it gives the finger to the mental and physical limitations most people possess.
If you've never been to San Francisco then you wouldn't understand how gnarly the hills are. They're steep as fuck, seemingly never-ending, at certain times of day super slick from being covered with dew (fog), cars popping out from everywhere, etc. One of the funnest experiences every skateboarder should have at least once is skating in this city!
Utterly, utterly fearless hill bombing with the frontside and, more astonishingly, backside "wheel slide" braking (and no "foot braking" in sight). And also a homage to Tommy Guerrero's part in the (second?) Bones Brigade video, too, maybe? I had my first skateboard in 1977. And this film made my heart leap in the same way as when my dad handed it over to me. Skateboarding just gets better and better.
Especially when you consider that the filmers are probably on some soft 80a wheels and can't power slide (or really do anything) to check their speed. Plus they have to actually film accurately.
This rocks! I grew up on my board bombing hills in SF back in the late 70's and early 80's, this brings back a ton of memories. I still ride today at 52 and even took a pretty decent spill last year.. oops, don't care to do that again ;-)
the line that starts at 8:11 is in Daly City, I used to drive down that hill every morning to head to downtown S.F. - video doesn't do it justice. so steep. so crazy. these guys have so much skill and board control.
ok, strong words here, but this is up there with the old stereo vids and the forties dlx vid from the mid nineties. jesus christ, thank you gx... done it again .
It's videos like this that I always come back to remember the fun of skating... I have to confess, I'm high and drunk as fuck right now, after having a great night skating brand new setup adequate to the crusty town I'm in, bombed some hills.... this video makes me appreciate that I have like 10 years or so until I'm 40 and can't afford to do this anymore. Better do it again tomorrow. Shit keeps me alive and sane.
not even joking, day this came out I was so determined to hill bomb. looked fun asf and I new I would love going fast. 3 months later I was bombing hills with no fear. god damn I need to go to sf now. just rewatching this video now.
I rode death wobble on Geary Blvd from 32nd Ave all the way down to 27th. Thought I was going to biff it. Thankfully my bearings were beat up or I'd have been going even faster. Burliest ride I ever had in over 25 years of skating. Never again.
did he get his stuff back? Every time I leave my bag somewhere I'm paranoid somebody is gonna take it, if I'm in a place with a lot of people I'll keep it on my back.

You wish you could still do it :) We have a neighborhood in my development that won't allow skateboarders because they say it ruins the roads. BS
Joel Cook High five man! I wish more people appreciated skateboarding like you do
Not sure if I should be more impressed by the skating or the filming. What a magical video.
Helmet
Josh Katz look at those helmets tho
That's what's I'm sayin I give mad props to the filmer
Helmet
Josh Katz Exactly what I was thinking. Love your vids bro
SF = Where almost every trick ends with a hill bomb. Sick.
Still the same after 7 years
Who looked at the land where San fran is and said yeah here's a good place for a city
***** rekt
Yee
Gold prospectors?
trent king deez nuts
Your talking about America a country that thought it would be a good ideal to build a casino city in a fucking desert.
I fucking love gx1000
Fuck yeah
Yeah, these are the best! I like it when they don't put any tunes, just the sound of shredding!

2:55 that has to be one of the craziest looking no complys i've ever seen
So so casual too!!!!! HOT STUFF!!!!!
The way he lands is crazy haha
The pinnacle of skating. Creativity, speed, technical skill, and guts, all at once.
Naw Watch Yuto Aurelian and other dudes who shred
This filmer is a madman
I watch this once a week since it was uploaded

Skateboarding just gets better and better.
Reminded me of the SF Hills level in Thrasher Skate & Destroy. Sweet memories.
PRO TIP: don't leave your bag at the start of a line...lol.
GX1000: gnarliest filmer in skateboarding! So raw!
The filmers deserve so much respect, my god!
Yo the skating is wild in this but sf filmers are gnarly as hell
Especially when you consider that the filmers are probably on some soft 80a wheels and can't power slide (or really do anything) to check their speed. Plus they have to actually film accurately.
Just got back from a 4 day trip to San Francisco. Hell of a good time.
much love to the SF boys - with this corona virus times r tough
Ten minutes of lethal anxiety just from watching says it all..

These damn videos always give me anxiety
I was so scared that one guy with the nikes would bust when he did that long bs power slide. I was also scared they were so close to hitting the cars.
Fa reely
Braden Smith Damn straight... Professional Hill bombers!!!
If it gives us anxiety just watching it, imagine what it's like for the filmer! Crazy stuff
_Daze_ That's all I think about :D
This is without a doubt, my favorite video on this channel

Use Ryan Desenzo and Andrew Reynolds’s for motivation
Came back to see this video 4 years later and found my own drunk comment that I didn'r remember about haha
Watching gx1000 parts always get me hyped to skate and make me want to go to SF and bomb some hills!!!
the thing thats on everyones minds.. did you get your bag back?
Robert Hjelte fuck it, there was a bomb inside!
Damn! I miss S.F. - I've already watched this over 10 times, such a sick edit.
Who knew that Sinatra and SF Hill Bombin' would be so Zen....
This is easily my favorite GX1000 video. The intro and ending absolutely fucking makes it.
Every time I see someone bomb a hill I think about how badly it must suck to walk back up.
Colin Thomas Especially he guy who lost his hat as he was bombing down
Colin Thomas you should try it sometime the walks not that bad
Colin Thomas dude if u live in SF ur gonna have to walk up hills theres no escape
Colin Thomas up-hill car skitches must be a thing out there
***** My god, I don't think Skate would be life without car skitches in SF
Born and raised in this city. I love anytime I see skateboarders out
I hope to bomb an SF hill about as much as a 10 year old kid hopes to get sponsored
now I just want to go skate
Me too
GX1000 continues to be fucking fantastic. Best series on the channel. Keep up the great videos.
What a beautiful video...
Can't get enough of this video
Still can’t
Thank you, PSpliff.
2:46 the dude crossing the street 😂😂
Sickest footage, best edits.
Holy jesus! Everything in this video is so hugely epic that it hurts.
Wish i could move to SF greatest city for skateboarding... great vid.
not even joking, day this came out I was so determined to hill bomb. looked fun asf and I new I would love going fast. 3 months later I was bombing hills with no fear. god damn I need to go to sf now. just rewatching this video now.
it’s the best place in the world
Lovin the choice in tunes/angles/tricks/spots/skaters/editing...Thanks
i have come to realize janis joplin and skateboarding go very well together
Bruh......the most badass one yet!
Big up to gx
Bombing hills and filming without power sliding to slow down. Straight skill!!!
i was not ready for this. amazing.
I love that carving sound
So nobody is gonna bring up that switch hill bomb?
Bro I thought he was gonna die
I will see you again, you beautiful city!!!
This video always gets me so hyped to skate 🔥
Finally this came out. Not sure if you guys know this..., but the ending was the starter for the two in Better Call Saul.
The filming is beautiful
4:11 how did you skate through that
the filmer probably has a board with huge soft wheels
I miss Cali so much...SF's Outer Sunset District, here I come!
damn this was a gx 2015 masterpiece start to finish
I rode death wobble on Geary Blvd from 32nd Ave all the way down to 27th. Thought I was going to biff it. Thankfully my bearings were beat up or I'd have been going even faster. Burliest ride I ever had in over 25 years of skating. Never again.
Damn I bomb big hills skating to work and school but holy shit these hills make me nervous just watching these guys!
SF skateboarders must get through a lot of wheels.
Probably one every week 💀💀
6:01 is the best and most satisfying tre ever
I just want know if he got his bag
Wow!Just really dope street skateboard riding!
Anything-to-hill-bomb is my favorite trick to watch. This video is superlative.
Gx1000 should come to Ithaca NY and skate Cornell. There are many spots here too gnar for the locals.
I broke my jaw cause of how much my jaw dropped from this vid
great filming
That perfect, textbook ollie at 6:55 and that nollie at 7:54 tho’… watched them both at 0.25× a hundred times
filming at 8:11 was insane!!!
He's not going back for that hat in tha line at 8:11 haha
needa go out there
SF my heart is with you
Love my city
best video ever
Amazing soundtrack
favorite videos can't beat the vx "stand by" noise in the intro haha
This made my palms sweat.
looks like so much fun!!!
Jesus even the filmer is legendary
thank you
5:40, one of the cleanest ollies i've seen in years
Missed u GX
awesome vid like always
gx 1000 is the best.
2:48 this wallride is perfection
This is a wonderful thing
This video is awesome!
Props to the filmers
Homage to Tommy Guerrero! Him and the Gonz... Two chaps that sent skateboarding into an art form.
Love. These vids
What feckin' duro wheels are they using? The noise is fantastic!
One of the best things ever. You guys are gnarly as fuck! Bomb hills forever!
2:56 that was the nastiest step hop ever!
Throw a chance with your feet
When your dualing with the heat
The bones show through the meat
Where the heart
is out to eat!
It's shocking how many good skaters are out there hitting this kind of shit, amazing footage, thanks.
Nice Edit !
Thrasher badass
Honestly I don't give a fuck if skateboarders skated my property shit I'd be fucking up and skating my own property too 🤘🏼🔥
ahah xD
beautiful intro
My hands are sweating so much after watching this...
Does it get better?
did he get his stuff back? Every time I leave my bag somewhere I'm paranoid somebody is gonna take it, if I'm in a place with a lot of people I'll keep it on my back.
