Watch Andy Anderson, Ryan Decenzo, Jamie Foy, CJ Collins, Leo Romero, Torey Pudwill and more compete in a series of contests built to celebrate the history of street skateboarding.

The Red Bull "Origin" event is back again for the 2025 edition in Venice Beach, Ca. with day 1 kicking things off with the Cash 4 Tricks Bowl Jam along with the infamous "Death Race" and of course the legendary fire hydrant "Natas Spin" challenge.

Watch generations of skaters take on iconic features like the Venice hubba and Pavilion wallride in this live celebration of skateboarding’s legacy and future. Venice has always been a beacon of counterculture, and this event highlights its seismic impact on skateboarding culture worldwide.

Skateboarding’s origin story could not be described without mention of the sunny streets and vibrant culture of Venice Beach, California. In the 1970s, the Santa Monica/Venice Beach area (also known as Dogtown) became a breeding ground for the Z-Boys and similar groups, birthing the punk and skate subcultures that reverberate through skateboarding today.

Now, in the present day, Venice remains a beacon of counterculture, drawing the next generation of skaters to its storied shores. Join us as we pay homage to the pioneers and iconic spots that have carved the way at Red Bull Origin, a challenge-focused event format set against the backdrop of iconic Santa Monica and Venice Beach skate spots meticulously replicated for an unforgettable session.

New video from Real Skate Stories.

"Skateboarding is built on progression—and few have pushed it forward like Natas Kaupas.

In this deep dive into skateboarding’s untold history, we explore the era of early NBDs—Never Been Done tricks—and how they shaped the technical evolution of street skating in the late 1980s. Before modern setups, street pioneers were landing groundbreaking tricks on oversized decks, wide trucks, and wheels meant for vert ramps—not the street.

Featuring legendary skater Natas Kaupas, this video pays tribute to the innovators who adapted freestyle tricks to the urban environment, unlocking terrain that no one thought was skateable. From the first wall rides to the early days of flip tricks, we break down how NBDs laid the foundation for everything we see in skateboarding today—from Thrasher covers to Olympic-level street runs."
