(https://postimg.cc/9zxGqwT3)Who would have thought, today marks 2 years Antwuan has been sober, he’s looking healthy on a board now too.
Also a father to a little boy and girl, giving him a new lease on life

the original j-scott handsdown.
ant-dix handsdown.

That nollie front heel was sick
-
Wonderful news. Wishing him many more sober years.
-
Love to see it
-
Thats so dope to hear. Im glad he is sober and healthy. Keep it up Twan
-
the goat
-
Psyched for him. He’s still skating sooo good too, flick is still effortless
-
Skating + quitting all drugs = superpowers.
-
what an inspiration. super rad to see.
Also his style is still amazing. would be sick to see a full part soon
-
Get him a board on Baker again.

It really is stunning...I can't even ride off a curb and make it look that solid yet relaxed.

Imagine he got back on baker/deathwish? I know it won’t happen, but I can dream right?
-
That’s really cool

I mean probably not, but if there was a brand that would do it I can see it being Baker. Who knows what that relationship is like after all these years.
How old is Antwan? Early 30’s? Would be great to see him have a comeback story similar to Guys. Clearly he still has the style and abilities.
-
Such a special talent, good for him! Hope he’s happy.

Guys on FTP, which is arguably a better spot than Baker dependant on how they treat their people. FTP is insanely popular with the 14-25 age demo.

He seems to have distanced himself from the Baker / Deathwish guys completely, I don't blame him considering they monetized his self-destructive behavior for years. He and Baker / Deathwish are so ingrained I can't see him riding for any other brand.
Just happy to see him rip on his board, he's a once in a generation talent.
-
Get him a board on Baker again.
Would probably be the worst thing that could happen.
Put him back with all the people that enabled and even promoted his abuse and give him a fresh influx of cash? As an addict I can safely say that would be a really difficult situation to accurately navigate.
I'd much rather he keep growing and evolving on his own rather than turn (back) into some nostalgia act that posts more ads than clips.
-
he seems he is in a better place in his life which i respect a lot. his nine club interviews shows how down to earth he is too. he'll always be one of the greatest to ever be on the board.
-
wow, he is looking great on the board
-
glad he is doing it!!
-
He’s in a good spot (meaning there is money to be made) if he becomes the main FTP dude on the team which he should.
As cool as it would be and I’d like to see it, I can’t imagine a “Welcome Home Antwuan” situation happening. Unless it’s somehow brokered by Herman, assuming that he still fucks with him or anyone still on.
Good shit though dudes absolutely one of the best to ever do it. Deserves another shot considering he’s clearly still got it.
Free max b and antwuans brother who inspired the face tats
-
I wouldn't want to see him back on Baker, but I would like to see a shared part with Antwuan and Kader.

I did not think that anyone would take this seriously.
-
he's saving his AA coins to get his own decks pressed. DooDooDoo skateboards 2024. his first rider will be knox.
-
This makes me happy.
He still looks so good skating.
I hit 500 days sober last week after being a drunk for my whole adult life. It’s been hard at times not having the old filter, but the filter works on all feelings, so joy and gratitude feel amazing now, and I try to cherish those feelings.
I hope Twaun’s feeling the love of life too.

that fs flip
(https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/e09a4e59ae2662316ecf5c9f9ab78e78.jpg)
-
He caught that fs flip at 45 degrees. So Good.
I think he's still friends with a lot of the baker/deathwish dudes. He was at that Shrimp Blunt cook out at the end of the vid, and a lot of the dudes comment on his posts. Not the Boss though.
-
I have never heard of FTP but I would love to have a antwuan board for my wall If the graphic is right.
I was 15 when he came out of nowhere and i was highly influenced by his skating (as so many others). Seeing him sober and back on the board is the greatest news in the Skateboarding world for me.
-
Who?

This absolutely rules.

Second that, and not just clips but gold. Does he have a board sponsor at the moment? Would cop product to support. Criminal if no, and someone fucking sort him out.

So glad this guy is still with us.

I think he's somewhere between 33-35. Guy was still relatively young when he came back. I think Guy was like 27 or so when he started filming for Fully Flared and maybe around 30 when it dropped. While, Guy had like an 11 year gap between full parts, he was pretty young when Mouse dropped. Would love to see Antwuan back with a full part though. An absolute style god.
-
If there is really NO chance for him to get back on baker/deathwish, PRod should scoop his ass up for primitive. Would be a pretty wild move, but i think it could work. PRod's work ethic/mindset could really mesh well with his sobriety if he's interested in pushing his skating again.

Don’t forget KREW

He’s actually posted a few really sick classic Antwuan style street clips. Like a perfect nollie heel down a 10 or so stair set. Hopefully he putting a part together. Love to see it.

This 100%

If he dropped one full part a year of him just cruising around doing his standard tricks I'd eagerly await it's drop and throw a big watch party with all the homies every time forever.
That frontside flip was as good as a frontside flip can be.

Totally agree. Better than any motivational speaker.
-he could have made millions but fucked up his life and career
+his 3 parts are immortal and he‘s healthy and a clean local hero

how are people in this thread still not realizing he's ON FTP, he's not without a sponsor, why is everybody like "damn he should go to primitive!"

Back when I first started coming on slap was when Supra was starting and Antwuan was on es.
Then there was a thread on here with him wearing a Supra shirt
Es made an animated gif where a soup can came down on Antwuan, covering him up in the team shot, and it said Later Twuan
I think about that way too much
Love Antwuan

No, i completely understand that. I just dont respect them as a legit skateboard brand, they seem more like a streetwear hypebeast thing to me. Maybe im just old and out of touch though idk. W/e the reason i have way more faith in PRod to take care of twuan in this second wind of his career.
-
Hell ya stoked he's doing good!
-
this thread is the antidote to that continuous bummer it is to see Bam keep slipping in that endless thread.
Stoked for Antwuan!
(My mind is blown that Guy wasn't older in Fully Flared - damn he started young, if he was only 31, when that came out!)
-
isn't the real story that when antwaun got released , no one at baker hit him up ?

Absolute style legend. If I could skate like someone, Antwuan would be my top 3 choice.
-
drssing perfect size pants.
DGK would be a great place for him too.
-
Wishing Antwuan the best , this just makes me happy. I remember when he was such a larger than life skater with his part in Baker 3 and that effortless style. If he drops one more part and it's even 60 percent of his Baker 3 part.... we might get the You Got Mail ending for twuan that us dreamers had our fingers crossed for. So many skaters die from drugs, it's just rad when a skater overcomes his demons.
Congratulations Antwuan!!!!
-
Awesome to see.
His style is up there with classic Penny.
-
I love this story so much & hope it maintains its trajectory.
I wanna go to the top of the highest nearby hill & shout from the top, “Twaun, Twaun, Twaun!!!”
Gotta show some apreesh to the original hands-down god.
-
One of the only pros I follow. His clips are always a treat. I don’t throw the term goat around ever, but he is one of the best to ever grace a board. Congrats on 2 years twuan!
-
He looks visibly different. Revived. Cool to see this.

for the amount he sold supra and krew to kswiss i’m surprised angel isn’t living on an island drinkin margs on the beach everyday.
great news though, glad antwuan found his way.
-
Can’t wait to see his full part
Yep. He’s up there with Gino and penny. The way his body moves on a board looks so good and is so distinguished. Amazing. I feel lucky to see any clips he posts.
I wish him positive health and mental state. Hope the people around him support him as well. Interesting that a brand called “fuck the population” can create a network that supports him. Well, Antwuan ain’t just anyone. I always try to drop comments of support on his IG. His clips are so good. Wish him the best, life isn’t easy.

Deathwish was a bad fit for him and Furby.
One of the best style ever.

Just watched a podcast with beagle and he said Antwuan had a boy and a girl and it’s given him a new lease on life and he’s out filming with doughnut
-
“Welcome home Antwuan” would really be an industry shakedown. But all signs point to unlikely.

FUCK YEAH, dude is primed for the Mariano comeback. Give this dude his flowers, get him on a cool board sponsor, give the cunt a shoe, get him on the bunt, lets fuckin' go.

In my heart of hearts I’m rooting for a Spanly style redemption arc.

True . Herm gotta kid these days and they’ve had clips on ig together in the last couple years skating when antwuan was sober.
-
People keep saying a Mariano comeback but I’m thinking more brandon turner. Early phenom, on the best/most hyped team in skating(was never a shortys fan), fucked around too much, figured it out and blew minds at 40.
I see big candy on that trajectory…hopefully. Either way, that dude is a one of a kind

If he keeps his body/health in check, he could be putting out fairly low impact footage and ledge stuff for 5+ more years at a pro level. I’d kill for another part.

I will never stop being a fan of Antwuan Dixon.
I always forget his face is literally covered with tattoos - then I see a well lit photo and it all comes back.
So so sooooo glad he's doing well and managed to come back from what was clearly a horrible path to prison and or early death.
I would say I'll buy any of his pro models but I've bought Straye shoes and they aren't great.
Anyway did he or Ellington/Reynolds etc ever shed much light on what happened between them? Kinda sucks to hear they may not have reached out to him at all.
-
I'm just glad to see he's still here and skating is all.

dude still has style and a story BUT he's not even close to "pro level" by 2023, he's flow at very best.
Its nice to know he's doing better but skateboarding kept progressing as he was doing stupid shit all those years, Baker 3 was a lifetime ago
-
Deathwish should change their name to Lifewish and make their whole image about positivity vibes...like a mainland Natty Kon.
-
This is the kind of feel good story Skateboarding needs right now. I would love to see Thrasher do a Out There piece on Twaun that would be epic viewing.

Good for him. Let's hope for some clips, hell, a part would be great.

He doesn't need to compete with current pro's, it's Antwuan. I'd gladly take clips of him doing shitty bs noseslides on curbs over no footage.

you’re right, he’s not at the level of 2023 pros. But he’s still good enough that it’s enjoyable as hell to watch him skate, not even counting the nostalgia factor or his still-flawless style

Just revive Menace and put him on!

He's in the Baker - Shrimp Blunt video eating with the team at a barbecue or something. He's posted a few times on Insta, stuff for Ellington's birthday and shit. I dont' think they hate each other or anything.

Tuan has one of the most distinct styles of all time. after baker 3 dropped there were so many skaters coming out biting his steez

In an ironic way, he suits new Baker really well IMO.
He has hands down one of the best styles of all time, and anything we get to see is a blessing. Hope he’s doing well! We are all rooting for you, Tuan!

Pro level is any level that people enjoy seeing you skate and want to support you by buying your product. It's not like some defined metric of dexterity. Watching Antwuan nollie heel an 8 set is as good as it gets.

That's exactly why guys like Dead Dave and Donovan Rice are pro. Skill does matter, but it is certainly not the driving factor of board sales. Marketability is mainly based on personal preference and the aestethic of the rider.
I would buy both of those guys' board any second I can

I’m always amused when people say stuff like this, as if there’s a certain bar for talent before someone can be a “pro” skater. Like he failed to win the LA Massacre and so Smash Skates is gonna take his deck away.
-
It's not what tricks you are doing, its how you are doing them. Very few have done it equal or better than Antwuan.
-
Skating + quitting all drugs = superpowers.
For me its was opposite. Redbull+weed used to give me a superpowers beck when i smoke weed. Then i start to get lot of anxiety and quit weed and now i suck at skating.
-
"He's not at pro level" is definitely not the insult that some might think it is. This thread is about his hard-fought sobriety that played out in a terribly public way. Who gives a fuck about whether he deserves to have his name on piece of wood for fuck's sake?

This. I'd rather watch Antwuan just cruising (not that he is) any day over some safety arms, red bull, monster rail shit. True style is timeless and he has it.

So, basically, you'd rather watch Antwuan cruise?

Cool to see all these positive posts, few years back many people here were hating on him pretty bad.

Love to see it. I’d rather see a new street part from him than anyone else. Probably the actual GOAT style. His recent clips are so good it’s actually amazing to see because some other style gods like Tom Penny got stiff.
Ok did Tom Penny look stiff in Extremely Sorry at 32? Given Twuan is 34, clean and sober, hasn't suffered any major injuries i say he's coming into his prime imho.

I did think Penny has ever been sober, though. I want to see more Antwuan footage!

Love to see it. I’d rather see a new street part from him than anyone else. Probably the actual GOAT style. His recent clips are so good it’s actually amazing to see because some other style gods like Tom Penny got stiff.
Penny did look a little stiff in Extremely Sorry, though…
I did think Penny has ever been sober, though. I want to see more Antwuan footage!
To me Penny looks stiff since really sorry in some clips.

Should Flip get sassy and release a new video entitled "Sorry, Not Sorry"?

Wow that's harsh did you expect him to have his mid to late 90s style forever? I thought his style was still evolving at this stage. Early footage "bunch of grapes" coined by Alex Moul (like he was holding two bunches of grapes mid trick) think Radlands 94. This banter led to his hands down style in his prime years 95 onwards. During the early 2000s i think he actually looked his most natural although his hucking days were behind him. Given by Extremely Sorry his lifestyle had caught up with him, but still he was no slouch filming a mainly street part.

More than stoked but who the fuck butchered this edit?
If he keeps his body/health in check, he could be putting out fairly low impact footage and ledge stuff for 5+ more years at a pro level. I’d kill for another part.
Looking forward to his future classic part in Baker 6
dude still has style and a story BUT he's not even close to "pro level" by 2023, he's flow at very best.
Sage, Sean Pablo, Ben Kadow, Kevin Lowry, Jamal Smith refutes your argument.
to say ben kadow isn’t pro level is very, very harsh.

Ben Kadow has done and continues to do some very pro level shit, just not as frequently.

It was just an observation as a fan. I can‘t think of another pro whose style has changed this much. He still looks good in his extremely sorry clips, but it does look very different compared to, say, Etnie‘s high five.
I love all of Penny‘s skating, even his recent footage. I like that he has always kept it real and just kept on skating.

That's one of the better ideas I've read on here lately.

He has hands down one of the best styles of all time, and anything we get to see is a blessing.
I see what you've done here, and I appreciate you for it.
Dude inspired a whole movement.
Well... J. Scott, anyways: crucial difference is J. Scott's hands look like they're made of floppy, wet cardboard, where as Antwaun's look like they're weighted like boulders.
Big love for for that 'Twaun stee over here.

i'd rather watch antwuan cruise
2023s rather watch gino push

Antwuan is killing it whilst TK is actually killing. killerrrrr

I dunno if this makes sense but I've never found Antwuan's style comparable to someone like Penny, Yuto, Kumer etc
Penny or Yuto look more bored and flexible where Antwuan looks more powerful and stomps his tricks with authority.
When Penny lands a trick it looks like it wouldn't even make a sound when he hits the ground.
When Antwuan lands a trick it looks like the ground should shake.

Stoked he’s doing good. Man’s is a king

Feels like we're just at the beginning of the long awaited Antwuan revival arc and I'm all here for it.

nollie heel nose biggie down a hubba is a pretty high-level maneuver, Yuto gets scored very well for that in SLS whenever he does it. Twuan really starting to look extremely solid on the board again. Reynolds, give the people what they want, it's time

I'd associate robotic style with stiff or rigid movement, which definitely doesn't describe Yuto.

He’s extremely upfront about having a real job and trying to build a career in fine dining. Good for him because we all know that he’s not gonna make shit as a pro skater.

One look at Ben Kadow and I would never associate him with Fine Dining... maybe Grime Dining... Not sure I'd let that feral lookin fool anywhere near my food

If you don't want to ruin the illusion I would highly advise you never peek into the kitchen at your favorite restaurants.

Surely you comparing Antwuan and Yuto is against the Geneva convention

Fire this dude who put Yuto in same conversartion of Penny and Antwuan.
Antwuan is 2000 Penny because when he first came out everybody said "WTF, dude skates like he dont care, its just butter."
Better comeback than Mariano cringe shit.

If you don't want to ruin the illusion I would highly advise you never peek into the kitchen at your favorite restaurants.
I’ve worked in a few regular restaurants as well as a Michelin rated restaurant, all in NYC. The key word here is “fine” dining. Yeah, kitchens are typically stocked with tatted up fools and possible ex convicts. But not in any fine dining experience I’ve had. Ben looks like a dirty kid, gotta have dirt under his nails, and that doesn’t scream “fine dining”.

I hope people don't judge my cleanliness if they've only seen me actively skating in humid summer heat, they'd be all like "Eww that guy is always all sweaty and bleeding and his hair is all fucked! He nasty!"
I don't even work with food but I still bathe and comb my hair before work.

Then I guess you’ve never seen Ben K hanging around New York. I have. Dude looks grimy. Whole thing was a joke to make a slime dining / fine dining pun. Not sure why you’re still trying to correct me but thanks for the defensive clarifications, Rookie

Love to see it
Very much

We need this Antwuan Dixon return. I'm glad to hear he's sober, and glad to see he's still effortlessly shifting paradigms on the skateboard. His recent park footage recharged me. I can't wait to see a new edit.

Kadow was born to kill it in the kitchen

Imagine he got back on baker/deathwish? I know it won’t happen, but I can dream right?
I mean probably not, but if there was a brand that would do it I can see it being Baker. Who knows what that relationship is like after all these years.
How old is Antwan? Early 30’s? Would be great to see him have a comeback story similar to Guys. Clearly he still has the style and abilities.
Style over everything. In a world where everyone can do every trick, his style is generational.
As much as I’d like to see him on Baker, I like him on FTP. Stick with the smaller brand that gave him a chance on his comeback.
Love seeing his sobriety. It’s awesome.
