- Our first episode of Skate World: Sweden finds us in Malmo, where the ever motivated Pontus Alv and friends show the true meaning of DIY spirit. From their beginnings at the now defunct Savanna Side to the straight rawness of the Train Banks Spot the Malmo skaters take matters into there own hands when it comes to street spots.

wearing a helmet while finger skating. now that's ultimate safety
r4nd3l h 😂😂😂im dead
Yeah, finger skating is more dangerous that's why we don't wear it during normal skating
😂😂😂
Kärlek. Bara kärlek till det här klippet
Så sant!!!
sunairjet jajemen
a finland edition of this would be amazing!
Skateboard high school?! That would be a dream for me here in the states.
Yeah, they should start one up here in the UK too.
It got into a lot of trouble, one coach systematicly tortured pupils
@@ehrich1378 really? Damn..
@@isak8059 @Ehrich That was at another skateboard school, not from the high school depicted in this video.
I've never been to Sweden but I reckon it is the best country in the world.
its very peceful and every school has drug dealers.
Isak Romsi hahaahhahahahaa this is so right
Isak Romsi that's every country though hahaha
Its great but sucks for skating
You have an playlist called ”favoriter” witch are Swedish for favorits. Explain that!
Seeing the girl skateboarder was awesome, I'm learning how to skate now
started to skate this summer after 15 years or so off the board!!!awesome to skate again...
morty_ falch how are you guys doing today?
Dominique Harris how you doing now?
Whats your best trick after 4 years
best thing in life traveling around and go skating
I'm moving to Sweden. Pontus and the dude who obviously is an awesome dad are rad as hell.
Best idea for a show in a very long time, i hope you guys can show the rest of the world too, can't wait to see more.
What an a amazing person, really look up to pontus he seems a really humble dude
there should be a whole skate scene on texas. no one skates here and everyone sees skaters as targets for voilence and discrimination, if california is skate heaven then texas is skate hell. ive experienced more hate for riding a piece of wood than ive ever experienced in my life.
AsaLSB which area of texas? lol
AsaLSB There's parks in Buda, Seguin, Kerrville Austin, Corpus, Port Aransas as well El Paso. I assume everywhere else too ( Dallas Houston ect)
+AsaLSB CZcams MAJER crew
One of the best crews in the states out of texas.
+AsaLSB "riding a piece of wood" xD ok
the world has a lot to learn from Sweden... and not only skate wise, but everything else. they are truly superior.
like what are they superior in? i live in malmö i would love to know ur opinion
mentality. constructive attitude towards issues, of all kind. openness, intelligence. the overall psychology of the swedes/nordic people is different than that of the rest of the europe, at least.
***** Like not legalizing weed because swedish politicans and scientist relies on old scientific propaganda. Really a country that is ruled by the goverment.
*****
hahaha, kanske för dig, jag gillar malmö kanske pga mångkultur.
Marcus, det är ju inte alls sant.
Such a good documentary. I love when Vice does skateboarding!
Jag bor i SBG, är 13 år och åker skateboard alla dar i veckan. Jag älskar Skateboard!!!!!
Best documentary yet. I'm so hyped to go skate.
i remember watching this video over and over and it inspired me to skate and make my own skate spot
This is just what skateboarding should be like, Friends hanging out and having a good time. If only things we're still like this, Good thing we have people like these.
Dang...Sweden is rad. Gonna have to take a journey someday.
As a Swede, it find it chilling to read this comment. It used to be a great place. Nowadays it's simply a gangster's paradise with daily gang shootings in most of the bigger cities.
Amazing to see skate dudes keeping it alive even in such no-go situations, especially the girl, only girl around there skating and staying motivated, bless you honey, you really made an example outta evryone.
One love.
A great video that really captures the DIY aspect of swedish skating.
I skated with some of these guys when they were up here in Skellefteå and they still rip hard.
I DIDNT SEE A SINGLE SCOOTER AT THOSE PARKS
OH GOD THIS IS GLORIOUS
as i like to say and share with folks in other similar vids / groups, i absolutely love seeing this ! and like the game of chess; which is called the great equalizer. no matter who you are, what language you speak, what color you are, what economic background you come from, chess is chess and anyone can play against anyone. same goes for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, they are also great equalizers, it is universal, no matter if you from Canada, Kenya, Australia, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Russia, japan, that all love to skate and are doing the same things, as well as creating new tricks. enjoying it, having the same passion and love, no matter who they are or where they are. skating and skate-parks are universal.
this is insane!!! swedish skateboarders are soo underrated. amazing style, good trick selection, skates fast, how much more can you rip??! TWO THUMBS UP :)
Wow it's so good to see a DIY scene alive and well. I know of one homemade skate park in my town built around an abandoned building. the council came and put a bigger fence up once they found out
Please please please keep this series going.
Best Vice : skate so far!
AWESOME!!!! Really love it!
I really enjoy the fact, that you put "What's so Strange about me?" By Claus Grabke's Band at the beginning!
Very good film Vice.
Vice documentary are damn good!
Awesome episode, thanks!
Nice one Vice, i love to live hear! Did not get the feeling for skating but BMX and dirt/downhill is my thing and im glad i can go allmost ever were and ride with out think about getting chased away!
"If you have an idea, do it. Do it now." 04:48
Words to live by!
Stapelbäddsparken
wow, that was really amazing
Jo, många vill det. Det är ju gråa och trista Sveriges motsats. Mycket mera öppet och trevligt.
"the atmosphere around the spot is as important as the spot itself"
This. This x10.
Hey Vice, thank you for those great Skateboardingdocumetarys !
21:22, I'm in the background of that clip, it's from about 7 years ago, the park is gone now but it was basically the place i learned to skate, damn i miss that place.
this is awesome!
theyre so gnarly
12:25 Young Chuck Norris xD
Nice doc, very interesting.
pontus alv is amazing!
brilliant!
I don't know much about skateboarding in Europe so this is dope :). Thanks.
vice kicks ass!
This is why i love skating, because you could go to the most random park and feel accepted.
Best video Vice have put out in a while.. Getting yelled at for NOT skating, ha!!
Turns out that watching skating is quite enjoyable when there is no obnoxious music on.
Good stuff vice!
Great video!
please keep this series going, this is so sick
aww :,( how i miss skateboarding used to skate back in the day as well late 90s early 2000s just hate how life makes u grow up
Malmö have so many good places to skate 😀
the perfect skatescene.
This is so close to my home town... and VICE was there... :(
I love pieces like this because it reinstates my belief in humanity, It proves that the ills that many thrust upon people that aren't like them are both conquerable and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Kudos Sweden! Way to put your energy in achieving a common good as opposed to dwelling on the pitfalls that sometimes just occur in life.I'm tired of people fixating on the bad when the good is bitch slapping them in the face!
Cool vid! Saw my old elementay school in a breif shoot there ^^
Albert Nyberg has a line at the Train bank spot (02:03) in his ''Ten years of happiness'' video. Pretty cool.
greetings from Sweden and keep on skatin :)
That indoor skatepark is frickin nice
Man, I love skating
You HAVE to go to Copenhagen and explore the skating scene there!!
nice piece of history.
I love risk takers! It takes courage to challenge the unknown.
Yep, might be going there next year. :)
excellent
25:01 Amazing view. Imagine having an office like that.
Being from Finland, this is exactly how it was in the 90s. Trilla dope!
Wow I think I wanna visit Sweden.
awsome video
i WISH norway could follow this example.... we got the money... or at least the state!
looks nice
Great video
So much woods and green in Sweden, im inpressed + there is a lots of handsome and gorgeous gals and pals there XD
17:10 i love his air time
Cool, I liked it
Love looking at skating, but never tried. looks awesome, hell even rappers are skating now !
Yall should come skate Gaste in Lund! Dope skate as well!
I'm getting a board ordered tomorrow i gave up skating when i was 10, Time to get back into it.
Yes, Two of my favourite things! :D
Proud to be swedish and seeing this :D
wow!
Like this is awesome and all, but i would be really cool seeing the skate culture in gothemburg too!
fuck yeah vice, epicly later'd is why I started watching your videos and videos like these are why I continue!
9:52 Rest in rip parking lot
I will always remember you

Scandinavia is "officially": Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
From a cultural aspect it consists of: Denmark, the Faroese Isles, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
Love Pontus Alv, If you like rough and motivated skating, check their vids from
Polar Skate Co
Ahhhh i wish i could move back to sweden....
What a great dad
Depends, on extended usage it is. Since the countries are so similar.
you guys have to do a san jose episode! not sf..sf too but specifically sj but be so so sick
So many spots from Norway ^^
Please do a documentary on Scottish Skateboarding! And thanks for the Rattray Epicly Later'd!! We need more of that!
Loved it! Go Sweden(Gå Sverige)!
Malmö for the the win! But it's much more fun to skate in small villages!
@sc0tte1 sweden accually is in the top ten esport countries currently with the NIP counterstrike team. So playing video games is also a plus to them.
Such Great Hair...
I'd like to think there's a Skate Scene everywhere. I lived in the Philippines and started skating there, Moved to Singapore and there was a massive skate scene there, Moved to ABU DHABI and DUBAI and there were tons of skaters there, went to Lebanon to snowboard and instead skated an old museum with a 100 kids, Afghanistan has a skate scene as well. You know what's funny I went to the famous cities where skating is supposedly big and all i saw was kids with supreme caps posing with a baker deck
Anyone know where you can build your own skate spots?
In your backyard maybe?
