Dern Bros, you're killing it with this spot history series. I can't get enough.
I know man!! I look forward to all the vods, but the spot history ones brings out my inner nerd and makes me feel like a 13 yr old analyzing skate videos again
Coming to a spot near you!

One of the best skate series on RUclips!
Most underrated skate channel on this platform ❤
Wow as a fan of history and skateboarding thank you for making really great content!
you guys are like the scribes of skating. lots of people have made documentaries and stuff, but you are the most qualified voice for these spots. hope you make it north and east too

Muska's clips at the pit are so epic

Chris is my favorite substitute Dern.
Dope - great episode!
You know I wouldn’t be opposed if you guys had a Patreon where you guys had a monthly fee for bonus content. I fucking love this channel and watch every video when I see one so I would def support it
Just another one of my favorite videos ever - courtesy of the Dern BroS 💵
I skated the pit once. it was when venice was starting to get exspensive and people were complaining about the genetrification back in 97 or 98. cant imagine venice now. been a long time since i was there. during the day it was pretty chill, but people said to leave at night cause the cholos come in.
this is my favorite skateboard channel! keep up the good work!
Loving your content lads. You are amazing. Nice videography too. Great film making. Amazing skating 👌
I see new dern upload and I must watch ❤
This was so cool to find! Thanks so much! I was wondering what happened to the pavilion and searching the internet and couldn’t really find what I was looking for , saw this video and answered all my questions and I love skateboarding so finding this was perfect! Thanks again!
the Pavilion Pit was such a beautiful spot, it looks so fresh to do a line there for your video part. its sad
Never disappoint
Been waiting on this one
Awesome 🤙keep these spot videos coming, this was a good watch. When you going to make the spots international 😜🤘
those ledges looked perfect.
One of the coolest skate spots to ever exist anywhere. And in THPS 2. Guys ender in mouse? Switch shuv to switch crook the whole bench? Dope.
Once again, another great video!
Freedom plaza and the gold trail in dc would be a sickass episode! But for real ask the episodes are good no matter where y’all go! 💪💪💪💪💪💪
Loving this spot history like the rest of the series. I was lucky enough to fly from NC to LA twice while in high school (Summer '99, Fall '00). Each time, my friends & I made the pilgrimage to Venice. The Pavilion/Pit were still there in '99. It was a dream come true to be there, especially after the Mouse video being watched so many times. The place smelled like old piss & full trashcans. Insanely lucky to just happen to be there when a few well-known skaters started rolling up to the hubba out back (Jeremy Wray, Pontus Alv I believe) . Then, more started showing up (Erik Ellington, Dustin Dollin, others I can't remember). Then more filmers started showing up (Rick Kosick, Atiba Jefferson). It turned into a huge get-together of so many different pros & teams. It was surreal. Chatted it up w/them & basically sat back & watched. A moment I'll never forget. The next year in '00, it was gone. The beginnings of the new Venice Pavilion had already been created, & it was such a different look/feel to what it used to be. Way before the current skatepark was built. Kinda like a beach plaza park. Chimneys & a few walls still tagged, basically decor in the sand. It was still fun & a treat to even be in LA @ that time, but it wasn't the same as the year prior. Great, great times! Brought some headies from CA back to NC for the homies, too. 😅
Venice: the closest waking nightmare to the beach
Great video! I love your musical selections. Hyped to be a new sub, here.
I remember going to cali back in 2002 and being well gutted that the pit was gone- I did paint the wall and have a skate though. Great vid as always dudes
such an iconic, beautiful spot.
The dern brothers rip 💯
Fire content guys
Also those fallens
I don't know anything about you guys. I'm not even done with this video. Instant sub.
Great vid!
My favorite video ❤😂
Bro! No mention of the iconic curbs?!
thnks to explain about thats history
sooo sick
Gotta give that news guy credit. He took it like a champ
It's always a benihana! Hahahaha that reporter took that like a champ.
Sick Ass Video bros 👏👏👏👏👏
Legends
No idea how a skating channel got recommended, but I'm with this suggestion RUclips. You guys kick ass!
Good job you guys
The clips from SKT hard LET'S GOOOO
Yeww LEGEND SPOT! From TONY HAWK 1
love the strung out t

Grew up in California and went to venice to ride bmx many times. Never knew about the pit area until just now. Looked cool!
Wecking Ball Chris at 5:20??! 🤨
Great content love how yall are covering the spots and hope you keep it going even other cities. 🤙
I love you for saying that name
Dam I remember we used to take the bus to Venice and spend all day in the pavilion. Good times
Thps map was lit 🔥
7:05 shout out guy in bucket hat staring down the camera 😂
you guys can really skate earned a sub!
Still waiting for the Nollie tre to smith grind out 😎
Circus flip was cool
top shelve stuff
The best brothers with the best content & memories. That’s a wild freaking place being from the east coast. Not a dis but a sterling area in California I would love to ride bmx. I know it’s frowned upon for bmxers to ride that park. What ya think?
Destin can you upload a video where your hair is different in every shot? Like different colors and shapes? Please hahaha
Best day rave after parties there on Sundays
.
Didn't know venice skatepark was built in 2009. I always wondered why it wasn't in the tony hawk games.
damn i miss skating so bad. i also wish i grew up on you guys' side of the US! Im over in PA in country areas. wasnt as much options but we made it work haha
4:47 damn i wish they would reprint those old fallen shirts like this and with the wizards and stuff
another skatepark that gets crowds randomly (in summer) is Ojai.. but go any tuesday night for the old dudes bowl jam.
8:58 thanks for that
So I’m guessing the 9 stair ledge is long gone now? That used to show up in a ton of 90s skate vids.
Even though the pit is gone, the spot is immortalized in THPS2, THPS Underground and THPS 1+2 remake.
LA has many many great skateparks. Venice is just one.
Hey guys when you put up footage could you maybe also note which part it's from? There's so many clips I wanna go watch the full part of but don't wanna spend forever foraging for them lol GOOD WORK OTHER THAN THAT 🙏
2:00 still sorta that way lmao
Never new that was at Venice until right now
yo shoutout the camera guy who immediately checked the reporters head lmfaoo accidents happen ig
I was obsessed with this spot and all the graffiti.. 411 issue 36 introduced me to it.
Dalton with the Mc!
Damn that beanie must be warm
Dude i remember the freak show when i was a kid
Love Gap next Time ❤
Awesome video
do the Sun dial for Zane ❤️🔥
This was my suggestion… you’re all welcome
🤘🏻🤘🏻
How about the famous curbs? Natas skated there in Streets on Fire (and A Reason for Living) and so did Eric Dresden in Speed Freaks. I’ve also seen recent clips of Chris Roberts skating there.
Heard rumors that Andy Dwyer lived in the pit..
That music track is called Hot for Preacher
How big is that 9 stair? Like 5 feet tall? Imma be visiting the park soon and am wondering if it’s within my reach of Ollie’s lmao
I skated the pit in jr high. It was really hard to sk8 the ledges were so chunky and round all you could do is noseslide / bs or blunts. 5050 would ruin your trucks lol
Still cool nostalgia.
The only thing you didn’t mention was the famous curb spot but I guess your focus in the pit area of remnants.
There used to be sand gaps and pillars as well. The vid woulda been too long that could be it’s own vid. I think they redid the curb square shape. They all used to be rounded. Rem Tim Gavin noseblunt pop over
I got a cool random Muska story. So we skipped school to shred Venice on a weekday. Muska and homies were filming on the hubba back then. My homie had a handy cam and filmed Muska saying “ Michael you shoulda come skating dawg you missed out bro”
Our homie didn’t wanna skip so we tried to make him feel like a wuss lol
the tape is gone as no one could keep track of vhs 📼 and there was no where to edit it post it. Wish we still had it. Filmed Muska on some noseslides and warmups. He was all all decked out in his sweatpants and had the boom box. It was iconic. I can’t believe it. It’s like a faded memory now. If we had smart phones I wish lol
I didn’t know the small section was there first
8:42 kanaan hahaha
I can still smell the mix of ocean air and piss. Man I miss skating Venice
One of the best THPS levels EVER
Debatable
And skate goat was obviously there skating too
