The Anarchist's Skatepark
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2019
- Skatopia is 88 acres of woods and farmland turned skatepark in Meigs County, Ohio. Known for anarchy and destruction, the land consists of two indoor bowls, a full pipe, a concrete outdoor bowl and The Museum of Skateboarding History - which houses more than 12,000 vintage skateboards.
Since suffering a traumatic injury, Founder and Owner, Brewce Martin now faces a changing of the guard as his son returns home and sees Skatopia moving forward in a new direction.
VICE travels to Skatopia during their busiest weekend of the year, Bowl Bash 2019, to tell the history of the family behind the skatepark - how this father and son manage to see eye to eye when it comes to the family legacy and how it might be emblematic of the changes in skate culture today.

Are we not even gonna talk about the dog that can climb a ladder
Estrada603 lmao. Skatopia is really about first, the skateboarding and second, their dogs.
My dog can do that too
Estrada603 dogs also make their own rules there
FUUUCK
Lol tr00
the son's rules are pretty reasonable considering the crowd
Yea
@Mr Free1 • 18 years ago doesnt look like they wanna go there to skate either
If those people don’t want to come and be part of the change then they don’t have to, nobody is coercing them into any type of behavior that they do not want to voluntarily associate with. The rules are simple to do no harm and take no shit, nothing has changed besides the fact that we are living in harmony with Natural Law Principles rather than continuing to promote a hedonistic lifestyle that does nothing but create more means for slavery to manifest. The dark occult ruling class of our world wants people to think that they can do whatever they want without consequences. Well I’m here to tell you there’s always consequences and even if it means that I segregate the mass majority of the people I would rather do what is right than to continue to promote something that leads to more slavery.
Definitely reasonable... The guys is trying to make s living with it and trying to keep people safe. Most skaters know it’s about support and pushing of others not the tearing down of others, those that are more than likely aren’t there to skate and drink beer they’re there for the party and purely about getting away with shit they can’t do else where.
Dont burn cars that weren't volunteered...
Fuck this I'm out!
I adore the mother, her acceptance really comes from her intelligence and her ability to be observant and be open to learn the realities of life. Too bad most people don't have that kind of ability and maturity.
✊🏻🥒✊🏻🥒✊🏻🥒
i wish all moms are like her
Indeed. Unfortunately most mothers today, and especially Asian mothers, are not like that at all. No wonder mommy issues are such a prevalent problem
I'm impressed with your ability to see this in the mom.🫵✌️
I can’t believe how much more supportive this man’s mother is than mine seeing as he literally built an anarchistic skatepark for drifters and I just like to play the guitar.
I'm sorry your mother isn't supportive
Yeah dude same here, I get that entirely, parents suck
I'd totally skateboard naked with 3 wheels while you stand there shredding on your guitar bro
Same man. My mother told me all the ways id fail but has never said one good thing about my sucssesful comapny. I turned my life around from a problem with drugs to a father and huaband bussiness owner and hard worker. Only thing i ever get is my faults thrown in my face family can suck man
I’m in the same boat. Just turned 35, still can’t win with mine either.
Brewce's Mom: "i wouldn't rent to him"
Brewce: "this is me skateboarding naked with 3 wheels"

I love the family dynamics! Each of them are allowed to be themselves and even though they have differences they know they are supported and loved.
Hi Erica
This is the kind of content that I missed Vice producing
This exact comment is on every single one of their videos.
CrazedOccultist here ye!
@@choochdrews thats why they should start listenting to us instead of appealing to slutever fans and leftist snowflakes

@@toetoegan8999 this video is about leftists you dumbfuck
His son is so refreshing ...
And honestly the contrast of the father son is very heartwarming .
brandon jones I really wish they would’ve put more of my interview in because I get into more detail than what they show here. I’m hoping to have the raw footage in the future.
We learn most from their shortcomings and we love them in spite of them
@Jamey Craig man thats tough hope your doing okay and be strong
@@s.e.e.d.truthacademy2535 Which one are you?
You’d expect Brandon to not be smart, and just kinda doing whatever his dad tells him to, but it’s the opposite, he’s actually smart and has his own vision for what he wants skatopia to be
I grew up in Gallia County, Ohio, 35 minutes from where Skatopia is. Back in 2007, not long after I started skating, there was a petition in Gallipolis, Ohio to get a skatepark built in town. It was brought to the city commission and agreed upon that if the total price of construction was raised that they would allow it. It was widely speculated & agreed upon that Brewce Martin donated 10k to get the park built. Got nothing but love for him as that skatepark was the catalyst for some of the best days of my life.
Absolutely adore his mother. An incredibly brilliant woman who accepts her son for who he is and truly learns about his passions.
We not gonna talk about how that dude said dark time and not night
Findeeney was wondering the same damn thing 😂
I presume there are lots of head injuries at this location
Y'all are normies, lmao.
I’m from Tennessee and around here it’s a rather common term in everyone’s dialect. Not everyone says it of course but a large majority does, some of those people aren’t very intelligent but others are, I guess it’s just a regional thing.
@@carlosking5554 interesting, thanks for the info!
Son seems like a nice guy, hope he turns it into a wonderful place for the future

That guy at 12:50 pissed me off. Such a dirtbag.
@@porfirioErodriguez lmao hes proly drunk as shit
Jinco1238 it’s been wonderful past, present, and most definitely future! It’s been around forever
That was actually one of the most serene, contemplative and wholesome videos I've seen in a long while
As a guy who loves photography, I was DROOOOOLING throughout this entire video of all the awesome pictures that could be captured there!
get a life
I love how the mom quantifies the differences in skate style between Brandon and Brewce, and how each of them has their personality reflected in their own style of skating. She's absolutely right and that's just such a cool observation.
She is def a cool lady
@@ChiTownGuerrilla gross comment
Nice prof pic
Who cares man? He's still got a point
i was thinking the same. So insightful
Skatopia needs a tiger king style documentary.
There's already 88 Acres of Anarchy.
@@quinnmichael2657 and its pretty good
do you even know what an anarchist is?lol
Or a Hellfire missile straight from a drone.
Alex Tupu news flash no one cares buddy
My band played Bowl Bash in 2018 and a small party in 2019. Im honored to have been a small part of this masterpiece.
What sucks about his accident is that very little to no video footage exists of Brewce before the accident so it’s really hard for people to understand just how much it changed him. Everyone’s so glad his body is still here but it is inhabited by someone else. Luckily that someone else is still super cool!
He was so gnarly..his demeanor is still there, but that impulse and symbolism that was brewce has faded. He was the most rad skater I've ever seen. You would get vertigo from watching him carve the punisher. I saw a chic fall face first the entire 13 ft plus the 5'6 of her height right into damn near the lowest part of the bowl and first one to get was brewce he chucked his board mid air landed on knee pads and slid right to her aide. I've always heard in his time he was the fastest pro skater in the world and in history, at the time late 90s, early 00's
Even an anarchy you gota respect your mom
Aki Bru “Against all authority, except my mom” as they say
Miss Fortune lol
You don't really know the meaning of the word Anarchy, do you? It's not chaos, it's not crime, it's not decadence. Anarchy is a political system with no central authority; where people decide together the best course of action for every situation. It's pure utopia, there's no denying that...but it can work, and it has worked in the past in small isolated communities.
Read about the Paris Commune ;)
@@Albanez39 Facts, anarchy is the abolition of social heirarchies, essentially the belief that people can just take care of and respect each other.
@@gnosis2871 It's the absence or abolition of authority. After centuries of propaganda and ignorance, people started using the term for chaos, collective criminal activity and what not. When authority loses its power, or is assassinated in a coup or whatever, society will actually spiral down this chaotic dance of violence and crime...but it only happens because people were taught to respect and follow authority in every aspect, and the lack of it would obviously break society.
If people were taught that authority is not necessary (it's actually toxic) to maintain a healthy and harmonious society, we'd be able to eliminate these social hierarchies that dictate and control out lives.
The most obvious example is the actual situation with the Corona virus. It shows how brittle and delicate society is, let's hope people don't start breaking inside stores for a roll of toilet paper...which is incredibly stupid to be honest. Both in the US and in Northern Europe you can't find toilet paper anymore, but we don't have this problem here in the Mediterranean...and nor is it a problem in Africa or Asia. Can you guess why? We use bidets, and even poor families have some sort of washbowl or use the bathtub to wash their ass after taking a shit.
PS: We also use toilet paper to wipe most of it first, but we wouldn't go berserk if toilet paper was lacking...
The son has a better outlook on longevity for this legendary spot. I say hes doing the right thing.
that land is his dad and he is preserving his spirit in it
I say hes a skinny bitch vegan panze that has no balls to be more badass then his father
Yeah, recklessness doesn't last long.
@@RapiDEraZeR I beg to differ yu just have to have the will the power the balls its called survival of the fitest dipsshit the very escensce of feedom is wrecklessness ..basically the power to not give a fuck and thik outside the box ... thats how basically every cool thing has every been done or made
@@kimborland7961Learn to spell
Wow his son seems like a very intelligent and thoughtful guy. They raised him right.
The cuckunists in the comments… the only land they might wanna seize is the land they’ll have for a mass grave lol. Maybe a little plot for them to fall out of a helicopter and splatter onto.
I suffer from horrible depression and anxiety and watching this makes me feel like it's OK to be non conformist. Skateboarding will always keep me alive.
its is okay, in fact i think its way better. things have only been grim like this for bout the past 100 years, we have so much more histroy than that that run thorugh our blood. dont get caught up in it, just work through it try to find like minded people and we have a way out
Never conform, these people are pretty wild but that’s fr what they want out of the common population
What pressure is there to conform in modern society? Akateboarding is a mainstream trendy sport, you are allowed to dress however an noone cares, noone cares what job you work, so who wants you to conform and to what?
@@andrewut7ya511yeah I love skateboarding but I’ve never felt a need to prove to people how different I am. I just live my life
@@michaelmiguel6937 yup, i love skating and working because my work is creative and satisfying. Im not gonna avoid work and stay drunk just because thats what the original skate punks did
They had no choice skating used to be looked down on, now its in the olympics.
"He plead not guilty based on insanity" seems pretty legit after watching this. Lol
lmaooo ong
Well the massive head injury solidified that argument for me. Cranium surgery 3 times and you have increased aggression. Sounds about right.
He seems like he's fun crazy, not bad crazy.
I like the fact that his mum doesn't need to know why he enjoys something only that he enjoys it
Right, if only girlfriends could be the same
@@jneta9712 Amen brother
Real mothers love to the core 💛
Ya his mom is pretty awesome!
it seems like every few years there's a new Skatopia doc and it's cool to see how the people change and stay the same. Brewce looks really good in this one, glad he's doing well!
Thank you Vice, these are the kinda shows that need to be made more often, real people, real talk.
Best thing about Skatopia: Anything can happen
Worst thing about skatopia: Anything can happen

The worst thing about Skatopia is its in shitty ass Meigs County which is a county that's been destroyed by meth just saying 💀
That dude asleep on his motorcycle, that's talent lol.
I went to high school with that guy lol.
motorized lifting lmfao, do you have his insta?
Or a nomad lol

His son is amazingly happy and well spoken! Props dad !
I want to go to this place! I love this guy and his passion! I can relate to him in so many ways! The love that his son and mother have for him is undeniable! I commend this family for being there for him and keeping his dream and home alive! This is definitely what keeps him going! Rock-On and Party-hard while you still can!!!!

Yeah because her son probably beats her into talking nice about him.

What yo band called
"I own the anarchists skatepark" Can anyone spot the error?
There are two stop signs at the main gate.
No rules in anarchy- cant own shit. That is what the OP is getting at.
@@burnheretic3950 Yes, and a "stop" sign is a rule that goes against the basic premise of Anarchy.
@@timmccloskey3128 No. Anarchy does not mean "no rules" to the point you can't even have traffic controls installed. The reason saying "I own this anarchist commune" is in error is because land is not owned privately in an anarchical system. Its ownership would be shared evenly by its users. Those users can still install a "stop sign" for safety.
THE WHOLE THING..UGH☼
I always heard about Sk8topia but never been. It made me laugh & cry when I saw a moment of my Jak's bro Blu carrying his kid. Most deff left us & his fam too soon. Blu had a pure heart,I hope he knows how much he is Luvd. I think I'll most deff have to make that adventure to sk8topia & have a beer or 2 for Blu. R.I.P. Blu

Hi. I am 7 years old . I have skateboard
Dan Field your an icon
I haven't skated in like 20 years, but wanna go to Skatopia!.. We need more places like this in the world!.. Not to mention, one is never too old for a good bonfire!.
i highly recommend going on an off day as the bowl bash and work party days are way too fuckin crazy
It seems like a cool place despite being in a 💩location (Meigs County)
I really want to see a series of these about Skatopia!
I don’t know about you guys but I’ve never seen a dog go up and down a ladder lmao
Yeah this documentary really peaked early
When my cat was a juvenile he could climb up *and* down the ladder to our loft bedroom.
Jacob Hoss that's a cat not a full size dog
Don't Care when I saw that, it felt so normal
The street dog would climb up and down our child hood cubby house.
I may be 40 now.... and considered the “old guy,” but the old days of Skatopia (as fun as they seemed) have died. It doesn’t mean Skatopia is dead!!! Just a lot more structured. I dig it, man. This was the only way Skatopia was going to grow into the future.

First time I ever went there was when I was 16 back in 2000.i used to live 5 miles away from there.brewce rode on the hood of my car down the driveway.i like how brewce was referencing John holsinger at the very end.john was a awesome guy and we hung out quite a bit before he died
I've had a personal extended tour of that museum and the entire home and grounds! Of course he offered to also show me the bedroom but was obvious about it and totally cool lol my best friend and I picked up a cool dready hitchhiker couple from out of state who were headed that way so we decided to take them. She had been there in the past but it was my first time. We grew up in meigs county and it is the best. The whole place is incredibly interesting! The bathroom and shower completely made with jagermeister bottles was rather beautiful I have to say. Lots and lots of craftsmanship and creativity! We got extra touring around the nature parts of it from a sweet young runaway who you could tell was so much happier and experiencing so much healing being there and away from whatever horrible life he has left. He picked me a bouquet of lovely wildflowers and was just so precious. There is a lot of history here. we got to hear a lot about it although it's kind of hard to remember things now, including the crazy crazy crazy story about his head injury that happened there and started to change things. At the time that I met him it was about 7 or 8 years agoyou can definitely tell at this point that the good changes he's had our likely thanks to his son. It used to be legit a bit crazy and scary from everything I always heard... Like for real, you might get your car burned to a crisp but that's awesome that they have made explicit basic rules of conduct... You know, common Sense! Common Senseand respect + anarchy is a perfect combination, especially back home. It's so sad how a head injury can change someone but great to see them sharing their story and kind of how they all are with it now. Glad to see it documented here!
🤟 right on to killer experiences in life, thank for sharing

Brandon has a lot of intelligence; both street smart and formally educated. I think he will do some really good things with the farm in the future, although it's sad to think that his dad and grandma might not be around to be proud if him.
I would pay for a bus to bring in a load of scooter kids just to see this dude's face when they roll up on razor scooters 🤣
He probably let em skate man.
I laughed so fuckin hard at the thought if that haha
Dude I remember when when a couple scooter kids pulled up to our skatepark. Were were all laughing an joking at them. Then one drops in on the bowl, busts a backflip tail whip and we all shut up real quick.
Another assault charge
I'm going to show up with my rollerblades and fanny pack full of drugs.
Been a HUGE fan of skatetopia since I was a kid.
Never been, and hope to one day
Brewce is one of the coolest guys on the entire planet in my opinion. Not many guys like him in the world. Truely one of a kind. And the best kind at that! Thanks for making all of us feel so welcomed. We truely appreciate all the effort it takes to do what you guys do
This looks like every episode of Regular Show where things go bad
LMFAOOOOO
This is wildly accurate.
Oh the regular show 😍
💀😂
"This is me, skating naked with 3 wheels on my board"
-Respect.
im watching this because I just had a vivid memory of my brother who passed away a few months back telling us the stories about when he went to skatopia lol
I remember hearing about skatopia in Tony Hawk Underground 2. Seeing it as a kid I thought it looked so cool. I spoke to a local skater who actually went there and said “Don’t ever go. People were absolutely nuts.” Great advice.
That dog just climbed a ladder
The dog pays all the bills & cooks dinner 🐕
Everyone whos interested in Skatopia should watch "88 Acres of Anarchy"
lol thats this places
That was a badass documentary. It was cool to see this one too and see how far the big concrete bowl has come.
THANKS!
Yes on Netflix a few years ago. The old pink limo it shows in this one was running and they drove it around in the 88 acres of anarchy doc.
I can’t watch it - when the dude runs over his dog just ruins me.
Bless those that make that effort in life. Respect.
Big momma is hands down the most supportive mother ive ever seen
Win or lose the bowl bash, everyone still gets hepatitis.
IKR. I feel like if someone timed me, I could score some shitty laced heroin in less than 3-mins at Skatetopia.
“My mom is epicccc” I felt that
Pretty! Have a great day!
can I have your moms number?
VICE is the best...All these storys need to be told !!!
Man i will never forget those KOTR episodes at skatetopia, place looks mad
Proper role reversal Freaky Friday, Dad just wants to skate, Son wants to build a library and eat spinach.
id watch that movie.
Son is a real one for keeping it up.
I started skateboarding at the age of 8 literally because I was playing Tony Hawk Underground 2 on the Playstation. I've always been fascinated by the map of Skatopia, I would never have imagined it was real. I hope one day I can meet him
There are so many different ways to live, whilst this one is decidedly not for me, I do love the idea that these people are out there, found their tribe and their home, and are living their best lives!
Skatopia is the subject of the 2010 documentary film Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy
I actually like what his son's vision is, putting money into it making it a much better environment in the sense of making it open to a wider audience that still likes to skate will really bring in the money.
If they truly want to embrace anarchy, they gotta be self sustaining with that small farm.
Plus if people are camping out on their land and using their facilities/ramp, a small bit of labor from every able bodied attendee isn't a lot to ask for.
@@Dnkwiz The son strikes me as perhaps being an actual anarchist, as opposed to his hedonistic punk father. Maybe he can make a commune out of this yet.
@@allozaur2 pretty sure his son isn't an anarchist but a hard leftist.
@@janetlovesu anarchists are a kind of radical leftists
The “anarchy” that you people speak of is no anarchy whatsoever. It would either be a small, free market commune (assuming there are any luxuries and there is no government which of course there isnt).
With no government, there are no inherent rules. You cannot force someone to do a job. That would be authoritarianism. People would have the freedom to do whatever job they please. But what are you going to do with a community full of artists? Someone needs to be security. Someone needs to harvest food. Someone needs to prepare food. Someone needs to do maintenance to the property. The more people you have, the easier this goal can become. HOWEVER, the higher the need for a barter system becomes. Eventually, you are living in a free-market capitalist community that uses a barter system.
Ive been there twice now. first time was back in 2000 and at that time i did more BMX then skateboarding but 4 years later i went back on a solo trip and got some backside smiths in the deep end of the Punisher bowl. but i did have practice at my local park in Nashua NH R.I.P. New Park bowl.
I shredded when I went there this is where I learn handplants on their pool or bowl. I'm from Jacksonville Florida where Kona sk8 park is they are in world record for longest running sk8 park by the same owner since 1978! Look it up Kona sk8 park in Jacksonville Florida!
I'll be looking forward where Skatopia will go with Brewce’s son Brandon. Hoping for awesome future ahead.
9:00 he has anisocoria, which are uneven pupils from head injury/brain damage. My pupils are like that too from a skull fracture but not as extreme as his. Pretty trippy to look at.
One of my favourite vice episodes.
I like this dude and his family seems pretty wholesome, all he wants is his own little slice of the Wild Wild (mid-)West.
His mom is great "he just does it...and does it" (gestures tricks lol)
One of your best ! I've been in that scene and with people like that but over 20 years ago. I didn't even know the skate/punk lifestyle was still going on. Brings back some fun and crazy moments.
Damn this really is mecca for skaters. I found my main quest in life! I gotta go on a pilgrimage to Skatopia. Much respect Brewce and hope to meet you guys some day! Got me emotional man but gave me hope that we never to old for skating!
I remember when break dancing contests in the cities, streets and everywhere, was great positive vibes.
Brewce's son is like, "I wish I had an education, and I want that for others."
This is where Kyle's go when they die
