Skating the Santa Monica Triple Set in 2023!? - Spot History Ep. 8

This week we head over to the Santa Monica Triple set to see what the spot looks like today and we talk about some history of the vast number of tricks that have gone down it over the years! We also take a look at what there is to skate near by.

Edit: Jonathan Pierce did the switch front big spin not Dallas Rockvam, Jonathan was a guest trick in his part.

Casual ollie the triple set is crazy 🔥🤘

[tribalwar]

The camera grab was definitely the dopest trick. Can’t believe he rolled away. Sick.

[SaintLoser]

The Derns are killing it with this series. Keep it up fellas

[theTurrb]

I remember seeing this spot in skatevideos first time when i was barely a teenager. I was clueless where it is, not that it matters to me anyways, but i knew its somewhere in US and im from Europe. Fast forward over 10 years, i was visiting LA and i recognized those sculptured poles on the landing instantly from a distance. People i was there with thought i was crazy. They just couldnt understand why the hell i was so hyped to go check out some damn STAIRS and take pictures of them, instead of the beach or the pier. Fuck that pier.

[finessedmyself]

this thing is so much bigger in person than it looks on camera

[kwakba]

14:52 the "Do a KanaanBall!" and subsequent explosion was an awesome surprise

[The.Kevin.Greene]

Another awesome spot breakdown! Berrics trying to copy y’all, but you guys are way better at this. RIP Robbie McKinley btw. One of the nicest dudes that would frequent Hot Rod Skateshop. Hopefully he snuck a picnic table into heaven. 🙏

[increase]

@7:30 That nollie big heelflip is so fucking clean. And that super slow mo footage is fantastic. I was watching frame by frame and theres a point where the board is upside down and hes hovering above the trucks with both feet. Just looks so cool.

[DerekBaranProductions]

I visited this spot 2 years ago, legit mind blowing how big and crusty it is.

[beeskate]

The knowledge and effort to find tricks is amazing yet again. Thanks guys.

[Nightspeeds]

Great vid as always! I think Cory Kennedy also switch big heeled it in a pretty sweet trailer or something

[FabledCity]

Well researched and thorough! Dern Bros do it again.

[joedavey]

How this channel doesn’t have 100k plus yet blows my mind. Awesome content guys keep it up! To me the barley switch hardflip ender for element world tour was always my favorite on this set. His part was so gnarly and underrated.

[Trevordale]

This is such a great series you guys do always love them so much!
❤️

[gabrielcristino]

Such a nice serie, keep doing it guys. Show us hollywood high in the next time

[reeltimegamer]

7:22. Its hidden somewhere in the middle of the video, but Nollie big heel feels like the most difficult. Having to pop nollie, rotating and catching your board blindside down the stairs...then landing fakie. Be such a hard trick to commit too. Another awesome addition to this legendary series👍

[jeffwonsong]

Yo Dern bros! Love what you guys are doing! Just wanted to add a few tricks to the list though

Jacob Walder switch inward heel
Andrew Pott FS bigspin
Adam Dyet nollie full cab

These are some that were done before the people you listed

Terry Kennedy heelflip
Josh Kasper hardflip
Bobby Rodriguez inward heel
Kurt Winter switch bs flip
Eric Bork switch fs flip

Some ABD’s
Cris Lesh varial flip
Cory Kennedy switch big heel (not sure if his or Derricks was first)

Also the switch fs bigspin was Jonathan Pierce and James fakie big was nollie.

Sorry guys, mega skate nerd over here! 😂

[nicklang]

love that you ollied it at the end too <3

[GregMuniz]

Paul hart did some hard ass tricks on that. Cody macs nollie big heel is insane too

[TheModernSkater]

This is my new favorite channel. Yall really hit home with these spots. Then i is cool to see SLS recreate stuff like hubba hideout. I love that skating is getting so much underground publicity for us skaters and old heads
