Viceland's Abandoned explores broken down America

Vancouver's Rick McCrank has been a professional skateboarder since the late '90s. But these days, he's rolling through spaces much larger — and more treacherous — than an empty swimming pool. 

​McCrank joins guest host Candy Palmater to discuss Abandoned. The new Viceland series takes us into deserted spaces all across America, revealing the physical side effects of unchecked capitalism. Think: the rotting buildings, empty amusement parks and ghost towns scarring the North American landscape.

The show also explores the psychological effects these structures have on the locals — and adds some crazy skateboarding tricks, for good measure.
