Skateboarding in Madagascar - Expect the Unexpected - Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 04. 2015
- Madagascar sounds a bit like something from the pages of a fantasy novel. Everyone knows that this place exists, but it’s so remote that it is almost like a myth. The island resides on Africa’s west side and is a rare destination for outsiders, isolated by both sea and distance.
A crew of skaters including Barney Page, Denny Pham, Nestor Judkins, Wilko Grüning, Brian Dolle, and Gosha Konyshev saw this as a challenge. Without knowing what any of the terrain would be like, the guys booked their flights and shipped out to the island to go find out for themselves....if only they knew what they were in for. Check out part 1 from their skateventure.
Shred in peace, Wilko Grüning.
Our utmost condolences go out to Wilko, his family, and the entire skateboard community.

Gotta love how stoked the local kids are
Seeing videos like this and the things they do to make it work really makes me more appreciative of what I do have.
the coolest thing about it is that they can watch this video on youtube and have a professional standard for those spots
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Cason Waylon Instablaster :)
@Benjamin Franco thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
damn at 6:37 that local kid does a hard flip off that five stair.... That shit was pretty clean
When I saw him do that I flipped shit it was crazy to me
Right? RedBull recuit!
My mother is from Madagascar and I've skated on and off throughout my life. SO this vid is extra special to me...
That was awesome
Hope they gave all their boards away to the kids at the end of the trip.
Phillip Leong ok
Phillip Leong i hope that too
Phillip Leong looks like we will have to watch and see :)
Phillip Leong I Thought the same.
Phillip Leong the team at Red Bull Marketing have determined that giving away boards do not improve profit margins so we will make our movie, leave our rubbish and never see these people again.
that dudes hardflip at the end was so wildcard!!
Madagascar for the win
Skateboarding is truly everywhere. There isn't a place in the world at this point where you can't find at least one skater. Great video.
Trenton Frays antartica
YanntheMan true, but global warming will fix that here soon.
Trenton Frays I wouldnt say fix but yeh :) and if all the ice melts most spots near the coast will be underwater
That is true. Just a joke tho.
Trenton Frays yeh man and i agree with your comment :)
Those kids are ridiculously good for what they have! Makes me appreciate life so much more than what i used to.
R.I.P Wilko Grüning
Hans Mans what happened?
eagle3zio ded
eagle3zio He died :(
Hans Mans HOW???? and WHERE????
Hans Mans well yeah obviously, i mean, what happened?
Sad to see Wilko in the Movie.
R.I.P
He was young how did he died ?
you should start a fundraiser and build a park for them
Na man they dont have medical treatment, that could be really bad for them to lose healthy men to skate injuries.
That Man umm.. that makes no sense, I can’t even be bothered to list all the benefits of them making a skate park, you sir are obviously a troll
One of my favorite skateboard videos on this channel for sure! The locals, the surroundings, the stoke, everything. Some of those local kids really know how to shred, and they're so excited! So awesome.
Beautifully shot video. Can't wait for part 2 :)
Lucas Hickey This is dangerous... what happens when the mob comes and breaks your legs.
Awesome!!! Everyone looks so happy!!! Just loving the comraddry!
Honestly SOME of these kids deserve a skateboard more than us. And they dont complain about peeps skateboarding in like "private areas" cuz its not often they see this and they deserve it for all their hard work. Although if all those kids got skateboards it would be a nusicance. But they respect and theyre cool peeps.
One of the locals had a Australian hoody on! That's so cool to c!
Wilko will be remembered :'(
Nice to see skateboarding bringing people together.
2:51 for homemade skateboard.
oh my god, in my country... this is beautiful...
Absolutely awesome
Great video. Love how many people around the world enjoy skating and make the most of what they have.
It's on the east side of Africa, but so awesome to see people skating in Africa!
That hardflip at the end was so sick
Bruh this is epic, keep on rocking red bull
One of the best montages i have ever seen
R.I.P. Wilko. And someone hook some of this kids up with a board sponsor, they were ripping and looked like they were hella hyped on boarding.
Awesome, sad to hear about Wilko's passing
THAT was fuggin' cool!
Awesome video!!
like the game of Chess which is called ' the great equalizer''. Skating, skateboarding and BMX: are also great equalizers. no matter who you are, where you are from, your language, your race, sex, does not matter . skating it universal, it is active fitness, it is expression and creativity; it brings people all walk of life together. keep spreading the word and the love !
I'm glad of my country and i hope that they saw the poverty and help people, they bring the smile i thanks for this experience!
This was sick
Mad Love & Respect!
#Skatboarding #Madagascar
That hardflip was sick
Those kids looked so amped to have the pros come.
Great work on the description Red Bull.. You would think with all these wings you could get high enough to notice Madagascar is on the East of Africa, not the West..
Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Done!
So sick
This video is
nice
Dope
I came for the homemade skateboard
good vibes
Love it
Damn Madagascar
this video never got the recognition it deserved

That Gosha guy was on Fresh off the boat Russia with Eddie hoang
Nice..

Очень красиво снято, передает атмосферу!
Madagascar is off of Africa's east side.
If you want to watch the local skaters in this video search for 'Akaska Madagascar Younited Nation 4'.
That kid hella showed everone up with that hardflip haha
Wow.
Yep its awesome
Many of these surfaces look better than what we have Norway
+UnexcitingChris Fra hvilke byen er du fra? Jeg er ikke norsk, men jeg var i Oslo og spotene der var kul.
toximetalsystem Byen jeg bor i heter "Sandnes" Vi har fått en del nye forthauer nå, så de er bedre å skate på
Makes me sad to see Wilko knowing that he can't enjoy those moments anymore.
R.I.P
insane guys +expensiv movie making
Yes,my country
I hope you gave them lots of decks
Wanna go there and paint.. I do longboard but doesn't really see me going down those hills, without falling badly. :-)

These kids have heart and are pretty sick someone needs to build a few parks over there and start a cheap skateshop or donation system. These kids deserve a chance to make skateboarding huge in madagascar

Awesome.. Welling up wiv tears. I am past it (48) but if you can help on a year off, just please help the world.

Seen that like a year ago I think :o
"The island resides on Africa’s "west" side and is a rare destination for outsiders," No one noticed this? It' s South east if anything of africa.
Madagascar is actually on Africa's East side.
"I am out of Germany".... beste ;D
***** wtf seriously.... why the hell would that make me happy? ...
Africans have such good spirits
@Oshe Shangomalagasy
4:44 ...um just a little more power and a nudge to the right m8 ;D
