My heart is full...

That was beautiful
-
I love Antwuan
-
Amazing.
Antwuan is my SOTY no matter what.
Keep it going!
-
Was watching this on my lunch break and started tearing up in the break room. Had a few colleagues look at me concerned.
I’m so happy for Twuan. He truly seems at peace with his sobriety and the way his life is going. Much respect!
-
legs on ice is hilarious
-
That was dope. Was really hoping to see: "ANTWAUN NOW RIDES FOR BAKER" flash across the screen at the end. But, you can't have it all.

I don't think I have teared up so much watching a skate-related video, warms the heart

Really glad for his redemption arc
Someone please tell him that longevity iv therapy is pseudoscience and a scam, though. Save your money for shrimp, Twuan!

Damn dude you must be real popular on reddit

Hearing all the text dings start to ramp up after he watched his part was so heartwarming. Nollie back heel to middle board break rollaway is still clip of the damn decade for me.

Damn that was heartwarming. Super happy Antwuan is in a good place living a better life.
I appreciated the background about FTP and Antwuan's relationship with the owner. The sponsorship makes a lot more sense now.
-
What I love is that he's a big ass dude, but an even bigger goofball at heart. The kinda person you want around forever.
-
that shit got me fucked up. Congrats on 5 years and counting Antwuan

@bongboarder420 When you click the share button on YouTube it generates a link that allows it track to who clicks on your shared link. In this case all the information after the question mark is shit is that there just for Google to track who clicks your link and fucks up how SMF reads the link.
*https://youtu.be/WWPkiwNBcJw?si=6sxeUb6yHtCvFQba*
Don't use the share button, just copy the address from your browser exactly. Just make sure to delete the information in the link that tells the video when to start (everything from the t onward)
*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWPkiwNBcJw&t=1s*
Just the root web address is what you want to paste *https://youtu.be/WWPkiwNBcJw*
Not all question marks are bad though. If it is followed by v=, it will still embed.

Beagle is the nicest dude in skateboarding. I bet he tucks Antwuan in at night and reads him a bedtime story.
-
So inspiring. Love how quick to tears he is. That's how it is when you're in touch with gratitude.
Much respect.
-
His whole redemption is really what we need. The world is so damn bleak right now, everything just feels like the world is ending and this makes things seem like they’ll be okay.
-
My heart is full...
And I just can’t explain
so I won’t even try to

This, glad i am not alone.
Lot's of stories without happy endings in the world.
This filled my soul up.

This was wonderful. I'm glad he's sober, I'm glad-er that he's doing so well in life, and the fact that he's back skating at his unbelievable level is such a bonus. And fuck yeah, I was welling up when I was watching this too.

I'm from Cleveland and watching Justin Henry's Hard Reset part had me tear up. All the Ohio spots, maybe not so much Bob's poem. It was an aight read, right. This right here. Same but spiritually felt. Fuck yeah Antwuan

It's wonderful to see him around all those people of old and having newly meaningful relationships with them because of the positive changes they've made.
And he still fucking rips!

For someone who’s big on science and facts, you sure do like to say “majority” without any evidence to back up your claim

What do you want, a bunch of links to articles you won’t read? Go talk to some Christians, their entire belief system goes against scientific evidence and relies on faith. It’s like the cornerstone of their whole operation.

I was too lazy to answer him because of such ignorance.
It depends a lot on the Christian denomination, and many sects really don't believe in science, but most serious Catholics and Protestants do have a lot of faith in science, and many scientists are religious.
Only by studying can one lose certain prejudices.
-
^I’m sure this discussion is very meaningful to the two of you, but could you perhaps take it to a different venue? We’d like to celebrate Antwuan in here. Much appreciated.
-
the way Ellington say sober every two words
looks like he need to convince himself
-
Love it. Feel grateful to have Antwuan back in the game.
-
This got me.

I hope dude gets some money from all this praise and worship Thrasher is showing. Studio apt life is harsh at almost 40.
-
I'll trade him my 2 bed 1 bath house in the Midwest for that studio all day. He can come deal with 30° may mornings and I'll live wherever the fuck else. Twan if you're reading this and serious about maybe potentially running into

-
Fuck, that made me cry. Didn’t expect that from a thrasher video
-
The part where his phone is getting blown off by texts right after his video drops was wholesome.
Part of me would love to see a Deathwish comeback but seeing the operation FTP had going in the vid, he may have better support over there.
Protect this man at all cost
-

He's a recovering ex con, I'd say he's looking pretty well off considering the last decade of his life.
That being said, his new part is at half a million clicks. He's definitely still big enough to have a top end signature shoe and textile line that would properly set him up for life.
-
This was dope! Just read the Thrasher interview while camping and this was like watching what I read in live action/real time, if you will. Dude has charisma and skill. So hyped that he is doing well. Even if you ain't down with the christian/AA/health type thing, it's working for him and that's what matters. Plus, he's "Not trying to be all...", you know?
-
I'm not religious myself but I sure as hell support anyone turning their life around and staying on the right path and if religion helps that and they're not intruding on the rights of others then I'm definitely supportive. I don't love Conservative Christian politics, but that is very different from someone needing some structure and relief in their life to try to be the best person they know how to be.

It's probably easier to understand if you ride a skateboard.
Try it out and report back.

I am more stoked on this than the actual part
I love those people at Transitions skate shop - you can tell they are the real deal
Its cool he can still jump, but I am curious to see what he can do putting all his focus into tech tricks. i dont think he can out jump this last part anymore even if his legs been on ice. I am enjoying this moment for him though because I am a gigantic fan. trying not to jump ahead too much, but i dont even want to see people jump like that - id rather just see some high speed flat gap action which i know he could destroy. or like lines with a few smaller sets in a row kind of thing. more creative with the spots. for the most part, his entire career he could just go anywhere and get something no matter how blown out.
-
I’m curious if deathwish will actually put him back on, seems like FTP really just wants to sell apparel.
I hope he seizes the window of opportunity and does it.
Ain’t no one buying an FTP deck.

Tears were shed, vibes were heightened and faith was restored!
Amazing!

Predicting he grinds hard this year, part out at end of the year along with the SOTY.
Would be amazing

could honestly see this happen this year or next year. He living healthy, he's motivated and taking very good care of his body. Also the fresh leg things makes sense. Also I didnt know he had switch tres like that.
Shes a tear, for sure. What a legend.

Well, I'm certainly not crying.

There is no such thing apparently:
https://fuckthepopulation.com/collections/shop
the only deck they had "pentagram deck" is sold out. ::)
Why is there no Antuwan deck to go along with all the press he has had lately? it makes no sense
FTP is file transfer protocol and always the first thing i will thing of when i hear this as a nerd first and foremost. but then the 2nd thing was "For the People" and im not sure where that came from, maybe FTW "For the Win", which ironically means the EXACT OPPOSITE thing the brand is called, maybe that is the point? i think edgelord was a better name in that sense

FTP doesn't stand for fuck the police?
Id never be caught dead rocking that shit. In these days & times? Bad look.

Great Value brand shrimp has had major recalls and FDA warnings for being contaminated. Props to Twuan though for still eating that shrimp.

On our side of the puddle FTP stands for fuck the pope - it’s a sectarian shout of abuse aimed at catholics. Nobody over here is going to wear FTP as the end result would be a punch in the face.

I get being loyal but the FTP owner not being a skater makes sense. They did not do any work for that "FTP" part. Edited by Reynolds filmed by Beagle. If that owner is a real one, he'll tell twuan to grab the opportunity and ride for Baker/DW again. Get some money before the career's done. I don't even see a problem with him riding for both FTP and Baker. It's not like it's real competition.
-
You could bring back Notorious BIG and Tupac from the dead and put them on FTP and people still wouldn't buy that shit
-
I'd be willing to bet that ftp brings in more money than most skate brands, there's a lot of smoke shop kids out there that rock that shit

Bet they’re still paying Twuan more than Deathwish/Baker would/could. And I say that as a massive Baker fan, only boards I’ve ridden for like 5 years now.
-
From looking at FTP a little, they seem to no sponsor anyone of note. That is why they probably can pay Antwuan more than say Baker/Deathwish who has a ton of pros. That is my assumption anyways.
-
Such a good watch.
That was both cathartic and extremely promising for his future.
The toughest part was hearing him talk about the death of his mum and how that led to him trying to commit suicide - that's when I seriously started crying. I can't get over that even now, and even though he is in a much much better place I still think he deserves so much more recognition and flowers for his skating and this comeback.
I really hope he knows the actual impact he had and continues to have on skateboarding and our community, and it wasn't just because of his wild antics back then.
Goddam.

52:42 - his love affair with shrimp started back in Baker Has A Deathwish 1
I was ready to be a curmudgeon about this Out There episode, calling it exploitative and opportunistic. But I can't hate on a feel good story like that. Seems like he doesn't want to ditch FTP since they've supported him for a long time, would like to see him on a shoe brand that can give him a nice cheque.
-
I have a theory that people that hate on people's religion just haven't been through anything REALLY hard in life. Otherwise you would understand.
Gives off super spoiled vibes

Assuming this about other people's opinions on organized religion is way more narrow minded and, imo, fucking stupid than people who are somewhat dismissive of it.
-
It seems likely to me that the reason he ain't on Baker again is because he's hesitant to endanger his sobriety by being in the van with dudes who are still partying. Which is definitely a good thing to be wary of.
-
Or it’s just something simple like “when I was on that company I was this person, I don’t want to be” or not going to drink at a bar that you got a dui leaving from. It’s not the bars fault you got pulled over but how are you gonna enjoy drinking at the bad vibes factory.
-
I'm glad he got his shit together and seems kinda happy. I hope he stays sober and keeps coming out with new parts for the next few years.
Would be good if he got back on Baker or DW, but it's also cool his just doing his own thing while still hanging out with those guys.
