I’ve been watching this video for years and I have to say it is probably one of my favorite videos on YT. I don’t skate but this is just so fun. You have friends enjoying life, not on their phones. You have good music to go along with cool shots of people skating. And then to end it, then go to a cool gallery to look at art. This really is a perfect vid to me.
bro, I just turned 28 and I been skating for about 2 months (had 3 weeks off because i busted my ass lol) and i freaking LOVE it. There's just this feeling i've never felt with anything else. keep at it man.
My favorite skater right now. Ben is so cool, I love his style and approach to skating. Very similar to my style: "cruising, meeting up with friends, doing the tricks your good at" fun is what it's all about!
Narly, takes me back, early 70''s to late 70's, start at haight & clayton cruise all day on spring steel, aluminum alloy banzai board w/ california slalom trucks & kryptonic wheels, jumping curbs, mostley rode streets, weaving in & outta traffic, downhill racing, ten speeds eating my dust:), rode funny footed, burning rubber off my keds, 55 now & still ride them hills in my dreams, my wheels singing shhhhhhh....:) thanks.
_ Justinlbdr _ was most fun i ever had on 2 feet, still would if i could, my bones don't break, they shatter & doesn't take much, even back then docs wanted me to give up my board, i didn't, till i was in my late 20's, many screws, plates later i gave in but still live vicariously through all of you:).
THIS is what skateboarding should be about imho; atually riding around through the city and not being at the same shitty skatepark / spot all day, every day..
+Do you even Rift Preach it man. Sadly enough, lots of people live in the east coast, where a small majority of people don't live in a downtown area. Even then, it's just roads around for the lot of us, and if they aren't crapily paved, its like 30 minutes of pushing between each spot. The only place to skate for a lot of people where you feel like you're cruising around is between classes at college.
+Luke Franse I feel ya! I'm From MA and people think "Oh but you have Boston" but it's actually pretty far from where I live, and the spots here either suck or too big for most of us.
I agree, but at the same time being at the same spot or skatepark all day every day is how you get good enough to just ride through a city skating spots
natives don't live in SF anymore because of the price. I'm from there and most of the people I know have been pushed out due to cost of living :( rent is a bitch as well as income tax and general cost of living, plus it's a huge techie place in the Bay Area now😪 really sucks as it's such an amazing place to be but you really need money to be able to afford it
elise I want to live there bad. You have to get a career there young and live in an apartment. I don't think it will, but I'm hoping it gets cheaper in the next few years when I move there.
I'm not from there and I already knew that, any cool place in California is a bitch to live. You gotta live on the outskirts and just visit because you'll be poor like most Californians just making enough to barely eat. I'm from Georgia and my girlfriend is from SF. Bay Area is so cool and beautiful but I wanna make enough money before I live there, if anything it's a place to retire and settle down at once you've made your money.
thats so amazing. no 540 flips down double sets or anything. just chill ass cruising popping a few ollies... i totally get san fran. visiting there is now on my bucket list
At 3:00 he talks about how it's not a city to do crazy tricks its about the tricks you know and having fun with it... I totally agree... I never noticed that though until he said it. I see SoCal skater doing like, switch blunts switch f/s flips out and crazy stuff but that type of skating never came into my style.
San Fran seems like the perfect place to do what Ben was talking about, just cruise around with some friends and see what you can make of it. Gotta make my way down there someday.
Oh man! After like 2 years looking for the song name I came here again and I found your comment!! Every time I look back at skating I remember that song, but I didn't know the name, THANK YOU!!!
SF is the one city I feel I would love to move to If I were to move to the US. It's much more chilled than anywhere else I've been , and I love the relaxed attitude towards skating, and that theres natural spots everywhere... Skated there 10 yrs ago, and wanna go back. (rip pier 7) ... one day
i was skating down emb the other day and saw carlos young shooting a line. i think it was 3 shuv, k grind a curved bench. i don't really remember the line but i just remember being totally stoked to see him skate.
Now I really want to go to San Francisco and skate, I have a longboard, and San Francisco looks perfect for down hill, but I would also love to try long board dance, the hill there are really slope, but definitely a nice city, been there a few time, it give show a nice vibe
You guys should try a hybrid board like a comet shred something you can go faster and slide with but still do pop tricks all day its soooo much fun especially in sf
When visiting my aunt there, i noticed the sake scene was very different. It was much more chill and fun oriented. Here in dallas, it seems much more competitive and only about dropping huge tricks down every spot. It's still fun though :)
i wish i never stop skating. every single day i regret quitin' becuase i would love to be able to skate the way i use too and have fun going to downtown LA for the day or just cruise where ever the road goes and try sjate anything.
Thanks for this clip!!! I really enjoyed watching it. Greetings to all true nice & friendly skaters outta there from Munich/Germany!!!. (Oktoberfest-City) ;]
This is what makes skateboarding so attractive. Man... Those smooth as landings. However it's really dangerous. I just spranged my ankle and went to the ER doing an ollie.
Ah 2012, back when SF was still somewhat alright. By 2015 it was horrible and still is today. It’s too bad I’ve always loved SF its a beautiful natural city but the homeless plague just about every sector nowadays.
I've heard Cali in general is expensive. Still looks like a fun place. I've been to SF before and loved it (especially compared to where I live now). If I can ever get the money I will move there at some point in my life.

Agreed, been coming back to this one for years.
Class. Im 27, never skated, but fuck it. Ive bought a board today and im gonna put it to good use
God bless you, you are not gonna regret it.
Same here haha
I started skating and it's really fun
Never too late man, just picked up my first board aged 23 and i'm loving it!
bro, I just turned 28 and I been skating for about 2 months (had 3 weeks off because i busted my ass lol) and i freaking LOVE it. There's just this feeling i've never felt with anything else. keep at it man.
A ginger and a black guy, skateboarding brings people together. :3
true that man it really does skateboarding is a one of a kind
MY NIGGAH!
***** i guess so :(
fuck im gay
***** I think he's pointing out the rarity of it.
Ben Gore is already one of my favorite dudes. After seeing his personality, I'm an even bigger fan.
John, Ben is my favorite skater right after you.
@john hill u my favorite skater
John Hill ju
go back to Revive scrub.
He picked out a board for me at FTC in sf lol
My favorite skater right now. Ben is so cool, I love his style and approach to skating. Very similar to my style: "cruising, meeting up with friends, doing the tricks your good at" fun is what it's all about!

All skaters know what's up. If you're not skating, how do you have fun? Some people don't like us because we are having the times of our lives.
_ Justinlbdr _ was most fun i ever had on 2 feet, still would if i could, my bones don't break, they shatter & doesn't take much, even back then docs wanted me to give up my board, i didn't, till i was in my late 20's, many screws, plates later i gave in but still live vicariously through all of you:).
Dawn Heald Most fun ever indeed!
i just started staking at 17 about a month ago. and one of the things i love about skating is its teaching me not to give a fuck. anyone feel me?
I feel you bro .
the thing i love about street skating like this is the sense of progression you get from it
valamere101
Give a fuck about what?
just teached me to not care about what people think and just have fun
valamere101 oh yeah cool
THIS is what skateboarding should be about imho; atually riding around through the city and not being at the same shitty skatepark / spot all day, every day..
+Do you even Rift Hell yes my man.
+Do you even Rift Preach it man. Sadly enough, lots of people live in the east coast, where a small majority of people don't live in a downtown area.

so fucking true
I agree, but at the same time being at the same spot or skatepark all day every day is how you get good enough to just ride through a city skating spots
I love skateboarding because it sends you on little adventures like this, I would love to have more skate friends 😂😭
You know you are good when you can skate a vertical wall.
its pretty hard. not insane tho
I want to get into street skating but the paths have too many problems. England...
watch tom knox.
watch tom knox
England is horrible why would anyone wanna live anywhere in Europe it's ass and the food sucks
Your saying it like we can choose where we're born
I know I exactly how you feel dude, the England sucks for skateboarding
you have to believe in yourself when you are skateboarding
tru dog
I've watched this video a good 20 times
natives don't live in SF anymore because of the price. I'm from there and most of the people I know have been pushed out due to cost of living :( rent is a bitch as well as income tax and general cost of living, plus it's a huge techie place in the Bay Area now😪 really sucks as it's such an amazing place to be but you really need money to be able to afford it
minu i feel it. all the natives are out. gentrification is a bitch
minu
True. I used to live there
elise I want to live there bad. You have to get a career there young and live in an apartment. I don't think it will, but I'm hoping it gets cheaper in the next few years when I move there.
ive lived here for my whole life and my parents have lived here for 30 years because we own a house we don't rent
I'm not from there and I already knew that, any cool place in California is a bitch to live. You gotta live on the outskirts and just visit because you'll be poor like most Californians just making enough to barely eat.

saw ben today at FTC skateboarding!
thats so amazing. no 540 flips down double sets or anything. just chill ass cruising popping a few ollies... i totally get san fran. visiting there is now on my bucket list
I came back from San Fransisco 4 days ago, stayed there for 4 days, GREAT city.. skated 3 up 3 down, EMB and Pier 7.
This is my favorite series of videos on the RIDEChannel for sure.. Keep em coming
seems like you can pretty much skate anything in san fran lol thats rad though
one of the greatest series that produced by ride channel and the reason why i started to skateboarding.
what i like about skaters and skating is that its all so chill man. i think people these days needs more chillness.
I fall off of my board when I hit a tiny crack, I suck, these guys are amazing
This is my type of skating, no technical shit just cruising round and doing 180's and kick flips here and there.. Loving the vibe from SF
watching these videos are so relaxing...
One of the best SKATE shows yet. Great vibes
High key one of my favorite skate video
At 3:00 he talks about how it's not a city to do crazy tricks its about the tricks you know and having fun with it... I totally agree... I never noticed that though until he said it. I see SoCal skater doing like, switch blunts switch f/s flips out and crazy stuff but that type of skating never came into my style.
Wallenberg is in San Francisco that's pretty crazy
One of my fave cities
San Fran seems like the perfect place to do what Ben was talking about, just cruise around with some friends and see what you can make of it. Gotta make my way down there someday.
Song at 3:35 is called ‘Been Gone’ by TERAGRAM.
Oh man! After like 2 years looking for the song name I came here again and I found your comment!! Every time I look back at skating I remember that song, but I didn't know the name, THANK YOU!!!
For everyone that would like a loop of this song, I just made one. Check it out!!!
ruclips.net/video/AOS-wQ61vsg/видео.html
Is it bad that I recognise the porn place?
I live in New Zealand, literally no skate stoppers, cops are super chill and everyone is cool with you skating. It's great
this is like my favourite show on ride channel.

This is my favorite series by far
I'm in Sacramento I drive down there to skate all the time i recognized most of those spots
I'm moving to somewhere near san francisco. I think this could be pretty fun to do when I don't have school and if I get better at skating.
i love this series
That part at the Fed Banks is so cool
going to san francisco during my visit from australia, so siked!
Now I really want to go to San Francisco and skate, I have a longboard, and San Francisco looks perfect for down hill, but I would also love to try long board dance, the hill there are really slope, but definitely a nice city, been there a few time, it give show a nice vibe
i just got it Kevin Strang
I Been Gone
So cool ! Respect from France !
ben gore is sick! i recently purchased his stereo vinyl deck in yellow (with hypno glasses) and i love it. really nice guy!
I will never finish my homework with all these skate videos RIDEChannel are uploading.
yo if he landed that at 6:35 it would have been a wallride to no comply, too rad
love the city man...
You guys should try a hybrid board like a comet shred something you can go faster and slide with but still do pop tricks all day its soooo much fun especially in sf
This is an awesome video. San Francisco looks awesome.
Such raw sf crusty skating. Awesome
It’s the skateboard city!
When visiting my aunt there, i noticed the sake scene was very different. It was much more chill and fun oriented. Here in dallas, it seems much more competitive and only about dropping huge tricks down every spot. It's still fun though :)
Man all these guys seem so baked! XD
***** skate and get high = great times
Man, I'd go for that every weekend over staying inside gaming and jerkin off :) that's how you enjoy life without always being hungry for $$$$$$$$
***** Hey man! Dont be knocking gaming and jerking! been going strong since 2011!
+PublicEnemy-1 then do it brother!

i wish i never stop skating. every single day i regret quitin' becuase i would love to be able to skate the way i use too and have fun going to downtown LA for the day or just cruise where ever the road goes and try sjate anything.
I'm moving to SF in a week, once we get a hold of COVID19, I can't wait to cruise the area.
