I removed the duplicate post that was made a day later than your post.
As mentioned for those wondering about the Colonialism flashed at the beginning and end of the part is in reference to the brand.

Micheal Langan is an Anishinaabe/Cree artist from Cote First Nation and Peepeekisis First Nation, Treaty 4 Territory, who is committed to educating people through creative renderings of our colonial past. After moving to Regina almost 20 years ago, Micheal immersed himself in the local skateboard community, of which he has remained a prominent member ever since. In 2015, Micheal launched his own skateboard company – Colonialism Skateboards – to draw attention to, and have people engage with, complex and untelling aspects of Indigenous Canadian history and culture. By combining skateboard art with a history lesson on Indigenous culture and colonialism in Canada, Micheal’s innovative approach is leading a conversation about how Canadians, especially youth, can move forward together through truth and reconciliation.
Profoundly influenced by his upbringing and experiences as an inter-generational residential school survivor, Micheal’s initiative has grown and expanded beyond the realm of skateboarding. He has been invited to elementary, high school and university classrooms throughout the country, as well as various community panels, to speak about his company and its mandate.
Colonialism Skateboards continues to receive international attention as Micheal inspires skateboarders and non-skateboarders alike to learn about the history and enduring legacy of colonization, and to think about ways to address these ongoing challenges locally and globally.

I got to watch the part again and I am digging the carefree and fun looking tech manuals.
He definitely looks like he's having fun and that is becoming more important as part of my overall criteria these days when younger me wouldn't really care.

Half way through I found myself hoping it would be an all manual part and yet somehow it was even doper it was nothing but manuals and Crobbed-out 5-0s and nosegrinds.
