- Hundreds of skateboarders could be seen as they rolled through Downtown Los Angeles on Friday, which was also "Go Skateboarding Day." Mike Rogers reports.
Go skate day has been a thing across America for many years, this wasn’t organized like a flash mob or something if that’s what you’re insinuating. I’ve been part of it a few times.
Been doing it for like 20 years or more. Local area used to have events all day. Nowadays it's just 2 hrs for a small event. Times changed
I was doing go skate day when I was a kid 20+ years ago, Emerica used to be a big sponsor of it
60+ Years ago we had a stick.
Actually it's kind of an international thing at this point
If you know you know
Buy your kid a skateboard not another video game. These kids aren't all obese like most kids these days and at least they're socializing and gaining life experiences.
Yeah but what if you buy them a skateboard and Tony hawk pro skater because then they will also have a phenomenal taste in music. You will also be definitely hitting up the ER for broken arms and wrists I guarantee it. Video games aren't inherently bad but skating is definitely an incredibly athletic sport.
100% idk how popular skateboarding is now but in the 2000s and 2010s it was hella popular in Cali. I hung-out with really good skateboarders in the Central Valley and we made trips to the Bay and Sac to skate. Amazing times
@@RandomRabbit007it’s still super popular. It has gone down in popularity though because of Skateboarding Big Business, from what I been told. Most riders I know don’t care for it and prefer to use cheap stuff, other than the board and bearing.
@@nannerz1994there’s dude who are like 250 pounds who skate
@@nannerz1994 I am much better off having broken bones and healed than I would be had I been an obese vegetable addicted to video games. I would much rather my children learn to mitigate risk and overcome hardship in the face of danger than avoid anything that scares them. One day children will have to face the world without their parents, practicing difficult athletic activities like skateboarding makes them much more able to face and overcome the hardships of life. So many adults still live in the make believe reality their parents constructed for them as children to shelter them from reality, it's really sad to see, children are much better off learning to deal with reality rather than being sheltered from it their whole lives. Not to mention skating and other athletic activities are good for their health and longevity, and I want my children to be as healthy and live as long as possible.
Skateboarding is so much fun. Those kids looked like they had a good time. No crime. All good.
Actually three of those skateboards shot people on the train that day
Denim did you watch the video? The police said it wasn’t connected, quit spreading fake BS
@@denimjeanz916I didn’t know a skateboard could become sentient and shoot someone
@@denimjeanz916ok I can say 3 people in cars shot at a building does that mean everyone else in a car by them also has a gun and wants to shoot at someone
Heck yeah!
Finally some normal kids doing their thing
SKATEBOARDING IS NOT A CRIME 🛹
They shouldn't be skating in the middle of the road. FAFO.
Okay Karen@@d.fenestrator9529
@d.fenestrator9529 maybe you should follow traffic laws.
@@d.fenestrator9529Keep that same mentality for the mass bicycle rides that take over entire streets
@@d.fenestrator9529 It's 100% legal to skateboard in the middle of the road.
Skateboarding saves the kids .
It's the one's on the ebikes in large groups that have bad behavior.
Kids being kids, if this the worst it gets we would be in a good place
Why did no one talk about how a cop pulled a gun out on us?? He stole a kids board and when we asked for it back he pulled out his gun
You get it on video?
Yeah ok. 👌
That looks so fun!
until u fall on ur face
@@gastrointestinalhemorrhagethen you get back up laugh it off and keep going
@@61936yeah. What if a car runs over you. Remember this is the middle of a road
Gen Z is full of good ones too
nobody would bat an eye if they were all on bicycles
If they jumped on cars they absolutely would, be fr
I guess you missed the part where they are going the wrong way on the road.
skateboarding is NOT a crime. 🚫🛹
@@Comeawwndude What about going the wrong way on a street impeding vehicle traffic? What about damaging property by sliding across hand rails and such? What about going down a sidewalk at high speed while people are walking?
If course they would if they wer BMX Bikers.
They are the same type of people just different ride.
This makes my heart so happy ❤ i love seeing it
I’d rather see them working.
@@992001jeffr I work a 9 - 5 and still get out to go skateboard. It's almost like you can work and still have time to do the things you love. Crazy right?
@@992001jeffrthey can work on their skateboards and become pro if they like
❤
June 21st, National Go Skate Day. Go Skateboarding Day. Gotta love it. Wish my local area did these things again. All they do now is a 2hr event. We use to have all day events dedicated for June 21st
Every June 21st is international Go Skateboarding Day. Skateboarders all over the world spend the day going skateboarding. Many will gather for designated skate events at skateparks and many cities will have “Wild in the Streets” skate-a-thons rolling through the city streets on a designated route. It’s a lot of fun and just a day to celebrate the hobby we love.
Did they gleam the cube tho?
Bruh. Really?
@@pconrzit’s a legitimate question
They found Animal Chin
Booo dude. They were thrashin
Beautiful words❤
Hell yeah. Skating is not a crime!
Ok purge boy
@Nate_K111 it’s a misdemeanor if they skate on the sidewalk in some areas
believe it or not, you can't skateboard on public roadways
As a lifelong skater, I’m happy to hear that these individuals skated on and didn’t make too much of a scene.
Keep thrashin 🔥🤘🏽
Breaking news. Kids go outside and play. Lifelong skateboarder here. This used to be a healthy norm on a Saturday.
I remember in 2016 we did the same thing for GO Skate Day. I’m glad that many other people continue the tradition. 🤝
At least there zero emissions. Losing calories. Saving the Earth.
Yeah but killing trees, carbon foot print, property destruction, and injuries.
@@libramoon9968 ICE does all that at higher scales.
I’m 46 years old & I still skate when I can. A little bit of rambunctiousness & rebellion is a good thing. I’m glad to see these kids out having fun without getting into TOO much trouble! 🤘😉
Dude, I'm 54 and I taught all 4 of my kids, and I still shred for them on occasion...lol😊🤘
The reason I got into skateboarding was seeing Michael J Fox, hanging onto a car in back to the future.
Wonderful to see them out having fun‼️
this is not NATIONAL this is WORLDWIDE, we roll out in london too, happy go skate day to everyone!
LAPD should have patrolled on skateboards as well.
Skateboarding ain't no crime. It's a lot of fun and a healthy community.
Wild in the Streets - The Circle Jerks. "L.A.'s most terrifying band..." There's a great music video for this here on YT.
Wild, wild, wild, wild
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
Wild in the streets
In the heat of the summer
Better call out a plumber
Turn on the steam pipe
Cool me off
With your big crime fighters
And your newspaper writers
Still need a drugstore
To cure my buzz
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets
'64 valiant, hand full of valiums
Couple of beers really do me right
You better believe us, better trust us
Teenage jive, walking wreck
Wild, wild, wild, running wild
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets
Got a gang called the wolves
You have to choose
Play with the boys
You're bound to lose
A bottle in one hand
A can in the other
Don't fool around 'cause they're real
Mean mothers
Wild, wild, wild, wild
Wild running, running
Wild
Mrs. America, how's your favorite son?
Do you care just what he's done?
No
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, running, running
Wild in the streets, we're running, running
Wild in the streets, we're running, running
Wild in the streets, we're running, running
Wild in the streets
It's so crowded. What is this, Go Skateboarding Day?
For the most part skaters aren't looking for trouble. They are normally pretty motivated to develop their skills on the board throughout the day. The most trouble they are making is minor damage to curbs and ledges. But when the weigh that against the amount of tax dollars it would take to have tens of thousands of youth and even adults entertained all year round, outdoors, physically exercising whilst engaged in a sophisticated sport/art form, it's really a no brainer in terms of societal return on investment.
good for them, I love skateboarding
Skateboarding is super positive for the youth!!
Look at kids being healthy and fit, but then again group of kids trying to cause chaos again.
What do you mean, “They took over”, its LA, the capital of SKATEBOARDING LMAO
That's how we used to have Fun.... EVERYDAY!!!
Itd called skitchin!! When you hold on a car and roll on a skate!!
And it's been done for decades. Hell, we used to do it back in the 1980s. Nobody got hurt, nor damaged the car they were holding onto.
Glad this is still going on strong despite the changes of time
At least they are outdoors
Hey didn’t 3 of them shot a guy on a train
Yup
What does that even have to do with anything there’s always gonna be some idiots shooting at someone it’s America
No. Stop watching faux
3 bad apples out of 100s: "They must ALL be criminals!"
Did the same thing go skate day 2012 in Miami. Glad to see such a show out!
Woooohoooo well skated LA for a Go Skate Day people, i can only wish to have this in London.....
“Let’s go skateboarding” -Mike Rogers 💀💀
That’s pretty dope!
Im going to go watch back to the future now.
The future of the nation.
Hey, at least they weren't blocking traffic with their lgbtq+xyz save the word bull crap.
Go skateboarding day is worldwide
Sure beats sideshows.
Future training.
Make sure you Ollie then kick flip then pop shovit and acid drop off somthing and make sure you clear 10 or 12 stairs or 50 50 grind down it or board slide!🏂
Better than those free Palestine children

Gleaming the cube 😂
i need to learn how to skateboard
Loved this dude so fun
LAPD: "No crimes committed"
Skateboarders: Running Red Lights, Riding on Sidewalks, Grabbing on Cars, Riding on Wrong side of Road, etc......
Remember when skateboarding was a crime? Yup.
"SKATE BOARDING IS A CRIME" 💯
They news just goes bonkers with the streets are filled with people.
what?! and link the homicide suspect to skateboarder while ignoring the other killers going by car? WHat kind of report is this?
Riding a skateboard in the middle of a traffic lane is illegal!!!
Sk8 boarding is not a crime. I know you'd rather see youngsters getting sex changes but these youngsters are good to go and thankfully that invisible layer that keeps your world separate will never fail..peace out
I always miss it!
Good recreational sport never to be confused as Drug pushers facilitator
Looks fun. There’s an opportunity here for the mayor to help organize a safe annual route for them, like a marathon or bike race, but since most are teens they might like the rebellious part ✌
Looks fun they’re not hurting anyone so good let them have their fun
Let them kids be kids !
Haha! Aye! Right On Kids!!! 🙌 All od this reminded me of Back To The Future 😂
I'm really happy to see these Kids Happy and having Reckless Fun. It must be really fun to be able to gather with a Bunch of Random dudes and just xhill.
People who havent lived don't know this, but this Reckless Behavior in Conjunction with Discipline at home is what Paves the way to Honest Happy Adults.
Living with Frustration and Lacking Experiences is a result of someone not having the Balance where they had thr opportunities to be a Kid.
Its about Balance! ⚖️
They went Back to the Future hangin on cars hell yeah this is America we can do anything not harming anyone. We call it skitchin holdin onto cars Im 40 now I cant skate but badass they had helicopters for this😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesomeness 🔥
At least they're outside being active instead of being a bunch of couch potatoes
HELL YEAH !!! 🤟👍🤟😛
Oh man....I REALLY was hoping someone would dress up as Animal Chin.
thank you Karen Bass
They should organize this event SkateLAvia ?
WoW, look how Peaceful they all are!! JS
This is great!
no one posted about this
Whatchu wanna bet Bryan Arnett was among them?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
WOW 😮😁💪💪💯
Made my heart warm, then he just had to throw the black cloud over it. He just had to point that out.
🤡 heart warm? 😵
Skateboarding is cool but don’t touch my car though. Especially while driving
No crimes were committed because LAPD officers were trailing them.
Cowabunga Dude 🤙🏻🛹🍕🍕
good for them! skateboarders brought al lot of tourism money to LA in the 60s and 70s and kind of made the area a tourist attraction well into the 2000s. skateboarders are misunderstood. glad they stayed safe
GUY LET'S HURRY UPPP POR FAVOR
So riding in the middle of the road on a skateboard is not a crime ..
Just on June 21st, it isn't. My local city did this about 15 years ago and got in trouble taking over the streets. It's definitely one of the best times, honestly. All-day events, hitting spots, people skating anywhere and everywhere. Miss that vibe
Jay walking Legal stupid
Who is the injured party for it to be a crime?
At least they weren't blocking traffic with their lgbtq+xzy save the world bull crap
Smile ☺ USA 🇺🇸
That’s better than what Tyrone and Reggie and Shaniqua do in LA
You kidding? Blacks some of the dopest sk8ers...you a lame
Thats the power of love 😂
Love to see it
Same skateboarders that were seen shooting up the metro later that day...
What. We aren't like that
you realize just because a few people bad do something it doesn’t mean everyone else is gonna the same like your point doesn’t make any real sense
So you know who did it.
It's funny you'd say that while refusing to call the police and mention the suspect's names.
@@61936
He knows who it is. Probably scared cause snitches get stitches.
Its worldwide not nationwide
Lets not pretend like they dont do this everyday
Hell yeah! Let’s go! Skate or Die!
Siiiiick!
Wow! This is news! The world is on fire people!
World wide baby
Where’s the video of the officer with his gun out
Didn’t 3 kids on skateboards shoot a guy??? How do you know it wasn’t related?
skatings such a huge sport now that’s like saying u see those soccer players killed someone?? what’s the relation. grow up
@@MatthewRevolo yeah a tool would say something like that …
That just like saying "didn't a bunch of guys who drive a car shoot someone?"
