Skating the La Jolla High 18 Stair Rail in 2023!? - Spot History Ep. 6 

I love these historical spots videos. Your skate knowledge is insane to.

Jamie Thomas Front Smith was the most textbook Smith grind ever done, in my opinion. It doesn't get more perfect.

I love the skate history of all the spots you visit, always feel a bit smarter and with the classical music I also feel refined. Thank you guys!

The double set at 9:10 was a hubba that Matt Mumford grinded and Paul Machnau noseslid after lipsliding the 18 in a line. In the credits of the RDS video circa 2001. It appears they built a wall on the hubba and it’s barely recognizable now!

Idk why I’m surprised that Nyjah pretty much has the craziest tricks to go down at nearly every spot you guys visit. Even multiple tricks that are harder than the next best tricks. Dude is the goat of street skating and this series really confirms that for anyone who doesn’t realize it yet.

Your content is awesome! I used to skate between 2001 and 2009 in Aguascalientes, Mexico and all of the spots and tricks you describe, are so familiar to me because of the videos I used to watch with all of my buddies. Thanks for taking the time to go to every place and talk and show all the people that made history thanks to skateboarding tricks.

This is my new favorite series, not only historical and informative but also you giys are just really entertaining to watch

these spot history videos are so fire

Tyler Hansen Back5050 in 2000. Jamie Thomas Front 5050 in Welcome to Hell 1995 in a line with a back 3.❤ love these videos:)👏🔥

Jamie Thomas did 50-50 it in a run in welcome to hell. First trick was a flat ground back 360… pretty sure that was the first trick

Keep going brothers!🌞

I remember watching Misled Youth with my friends when it came out. We talked about this spot so much due to the landing and going straight to doors/wall. We talked about how scary it would be to have 1 more thing to have to think about aside from the speed, aside from the trick, aside from spotting a landing, aside from rolling away 😂. We were like 14/15 in 1999 rewinding vhs tapes so much it would fuck up the part with the trick(s) we wanted to study. Good times, good times.

I'm Glad Your Still Making These

Lindsey Robertson front board fakie with the crazy arms I love that clip

Great video.. very entertaining.. you 3 put work into your videos and you guys make good stuff.. I did nollie front board fakie down that double set rail right after they knobbed it..

I also did Smith in 2006. Ode to the Chief lol. That dude Drew Dezort did Fs Tail To Fakie, it's in a "rip clip" part on youtube.

Fuckin LOVE Dern Bros. spot check premier days‼️‼️‼️ No matter how shitty the day, they always get a smile out of me...

Great video. I went to La Jolla High. Some missed tricks: Dave Coyne nose slid the triple set before the rail was there. There is also a double kinked rail near the 18 Steve Olson boardslid in Fulfill the Dream. Keep up the great videos!

instant click - you guys are so great, thank you!

This series is the best

This is amazing content guys. I ride bmx but I love your spots videos. Keep it up greetings from Europe

That was my Highschool, so it was rad to see and hear everything that has been done on that Rail!

Love the Rowley quote at the end after the tennis court front board bail. "Small feeble amount of blood... On the scene".... If ya know ya know 😏

Epic series!! Dalton cracks me up 🤣

Killing it with this type of content, please don’t stop 🤘🏻as an Australian it looks like California was literally designed by and for skateboarders 😂

Yarghhh. Looks like we struck gold with this episode of spot history. Well done brothers!

Coooooool trick attempt on the the tennis court bench!!!!!!

This would of been my HS I think if I didn't move out of SD in 5th grade and just gonna say I am soooo salt lol. Parents moved me from SD to NJ where skating is just not the same. Philly is amazing to have as a skatepark for daily skating but, bums me out cause there ain't no skate industry jobs really around here unless you go to NYC but, then you working at some degree job. SoCal has all the manufacturing, warehouse, and main job gigs. That is what I wanna do; go from currently being broke to try secure some w/e job stack up and dipset back to SD or between SD and LA and get a job in skate industry. At least I can wake up show up and work in and around something I love and been doing since 6. So thank you for this video; solid inspiration. Kallen you got that 18 set for sure dude.

Skate history, I love it. You remind me of my friend who would call every trick before they happened in the skate videos we watched

This series is a fn smash hit, ive never checked a channel to see if they uploaded a new video until i came across these famous skate spot history lessons….. eyes glued mumbling ahh snap i remember that…. Keep up the great work 🙏

Your friend skating the ledges with the red shoes had that Erik Ellington swagg!

Christi Wiehann did a front board and back lipped it first go. In a SPF Media video from South South Africa

For a second I was like 'Biggie could skate' then I quickly realised he'd said FIGGY. Imagine Biggie on a skateboard.

I love the 8:35 moment hahah what is love !!! Nice videos guys

Jamie 50-50 in a line in welcome to hell. Toy machine Jamie!

These videos are some of the best things ever.

I had one of the original Jamie Thomas smith grind decks as a kid. I skated it hard.

Jamie Thomas was my favorite growing up (a little older then kannan 😂) just loved how big he'd go. I remember when mislead youth came out. Another VHS i watched until my VCR ate it. That and ES menikmati

Insane rails of grinding the line in 1999 Smith grind one of the original skateboard is the best variety design.

Freaking Dern bros are crazy! 😂😂🤣🤣

Right on boys! Love these spot history checks..

keep uploading these videos visiting spots!!!!!

My sister lived around the corner from there. I was too scared to sk8 it by myself cuz I was certain that I'd get rekt, but I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not rolling down it at the very least. Cheers from AZ 🤘

obstructions everywhere. Yeah I think it's skate-able! 😆

My first pro set up was a Jamie Thomas Smith grind but it was orange. I kind of just wanted the light blue but as a kid I didn't really care, it was still sick to have a pro deck and not a Walmart Pokémon. Lol

You guys should do the leap of faith spot, I tried to find it when I lived in in San Diego but it was unrecognizable. Great channel!

Dude the skate stoppers just make it more gnarly. Im sure you could just board slide right over those, but the thought of sticking is too scary ha. Someone should do it tho.

😮 sick video diggin the vibes sent those handrails ect.

That Jaime Thomas smith grind board was my very first non Walmart board board back in the day. 🤘🏻

I wish Carlsbad was still there. That woulda been a sick video

Reminds me of me and my brothers relationship . You guys are great and the music always gets me 😅 haha so good

That was a sick Vid!

@8:39 great song and was used in a super cool movie called A Night at the Roxbury!!!! That was a super cool Bank you guys found and I will be looking for some of those in Virginia Beach where I live by way of San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire...

a good old school skate spot, is bricktown fremont elementary orange county. Best of 411vm vl4. Chad Fernandez rookie part. He did a lip slide on the 10 stair and many other pros have killed it their.

Jamie Thomas Frontside 50-50 in a line in Welcome to Hell (1996). Lindsey Robertson Frontside boardslide to fakie. Chris Dobstaff Backside salad grind. Brandon Turner Switch boardslide. Tommy Sandoval *Frontside overcrooked grind, not Nosegrind. Nyjah Huston *Nollie Frontside overcrooked grind. There are probably more.

front feeble was insane

i played basketball at LJHS after watching this spot for years, always freaked out cuz the visitors lockeroom leads right out to that spot. never saw anyone actually hit it during those days but saw people get broke a few times trying

Jenny on the block has the record with 71 tricks at the set. Plenty of road rash.

Christ dobstaff also did backside salad to fakie. Its in the same Thrasher with the blunt slide.

Pretty sure I was the first and possibly only one to hit it on a snowboard 😂 took ice from the UTC ice rink and set it up in 2000/01. Have the VHS of it somewhere in storage. No way I could skate this beast.

This the best channel I’ve come across

Please keep doing history videos i love them

this should really be called, 'the Zero rail' ... between Misled Youth and Dying to Live.., this rail made alot of parts stand out.. the Jamie Thomas slo-mo lipslide to the Doors 'The End' ... that's one of the most iconic clips ever.. Jamie was so good at editing great soundtracks in.. Geoff Rowley too.. the Flip Sorry video had the best soundtrack.. that's what's really missing these days, keeping parts from being as iconic.. the music is crucial to a good part... Workshop/Habitat always had great songs too.. im surprised nobody really did any down the stairs.. is it just too big?? doesn't seem bigger than say El Toro as a gap.. maybe because there doesn't look to be much room for a clean landing / roll away.. thanks for the content.. love when you guys do spot history.. I remember seeing you before years and years ago.. i was probably like 16 or 17.. im 34 now.. lol,, probably seen you at X Games park.. or G Spot.. or Eden/Torresdale Playground in Northeast Philly.. or all three most likely haha,, the Hot Wax crew.. yous were driving around with your creeper van : ) hah,, i stayed friends with the one guy, Tim Verbich, for quite some time.. lost touch in the last few years though.. anyhow, can't wait to see you cover the next spot!

I skated that pink smith grind board like 20 years ago. Wish I still had it.

nijah did kinda own that fakie grind unreal

Thank you guys! 💚

Jamie Thomas 5050d it in a line (bs 360 on flatground prior) in Toy Machine's Welcome to Hell (1996).

Lindsey Robertson and Ryan Smith popped in my head once I saw that rail.

Hell Yeah! 🤘👽👽👽

The double set rail u guys missed inside the gate was either 50-50d or boardslid by jaime thomas too

This the type of rail that’s gonna get kickflip front boarded soon and maybe even kf back lip. I know its scary to flip onto it but skill wise those are “little kid tricks”. The commitment part is fuckin scary though. Nice video! Thank you!

I don't know if it still exists but I'd love to see a video on the Oversized 4-stair in the Clairemont High lunch court. I went there from like 2005-2009, my friends and I used to skate it on the weekends/during the summer. Used to see a lot of the Sun Diego boys skating it back then too. I've only seen it in like 2 old skate vids, I'm curious who all has done it on video. I'm also curious if there's any big parts at Marston Middle School or Longfellow as well. Longfellow always had a lot of people skating it on the weekends/during summer break.

Need more of these videos please! Maybe hit the east coast

Jamie Thomas did a 50/50 grind in Welcome To Hell, 1996

Would be dope if you guys were able to go to the tom penny bank from anthology if it still exists and talk about it

I had that zero smith grind board (blue) it was sick lol i loved it-if I still had it it'd be worthless from riding it so hard haha

I'm really liking these!!

Love the spots videos ! 👊👊👊

Love your videos Dern Bros! ⚡️⚡️

I had one of the OG Jamie Thomas - Lipslide decks, signed by him. I skated it to get some clips for one of my video parts.

Love it guys!!

Great work guys!!!

Fakie 50-50 is jacked

theres a fun little 5 stair that leads out to the football field/track too

i love your content

Check out the 21 stair Milton bs 180’d. foy front feebled etc

Homeboy did a flamingo board stall on that bank😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 flamingo 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 🦩 😂

It looks smallish in the skate parts, like Figgy's 5-0, but seeing it up top in your footage makes it look big lol

I remember having that smith grind deck back in the day. Wish i would have saved it. Think I broke it though.

Tommy overcrooked that no way can you consider that a nose grind

One of my first boards ever was that gold Jamie Thomas smith board I had no idea it was worth so much now that’s wild 😂

Such a cool channel. I see it I click

I did a nollie flip handplant down it.

I had no idea this was the spot from misled youth. Sick breakdown of all the tricks landed here. I have a spot question; there’s a steep stair set in Mira Mesa on Westview Parkway and Capricorn Way. Westview Park. I’ve never seen it in any clips or ads. Do you guys know if anyone has ever landed any tricks there? I’d be stoked to see it if it has. The takeoff and landing is angled down hill and goes into a street so it would not be easy.

That Tommy nose grind at 3:34..... What's the difference between an over krook and nose grind? I'm genuinely asking because I'm so confused. Much love. You cats are ripping!!!!!!🤘🏽😎

Alwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyys Awwwwweeeesoooooooommmmmeeeeee conteeeeent guuuuyyyyys!!!!!!!!

Also another spot that would be good to do a video on is the cardiel ledge.

Yo I just stumbled upon you guys right now and let me express what a privilege it has been. I’ll be checking out all your previous vids and of course, count me as another new Sub. Thanks

Alright fuck ill subscribe lol. Ive watched like 3 videos in a row and they are all dope! Good shit
