Hah has definitely regained his love of giving the middle finger

Great timing on that mini-ramp mini-nap trick with the voice over

He’s literally like an adhd little grom again. Good for him. Stoked he found his love for it again.

His stoke starting around the 4:23 mark is my favorite skate moment of the last few years.

I love Ben and I wish him the best, it’s really good he’s back.

He appears a little manic.
I’ve had a lot of friends suffer with mental illness that self medicated with drug abuse. They quit the drugs and it looked a lot like this. I’ve also had friends that were just high on life after cleaning up…

I hope he stays happy and healthy.
Love you Ben. Keep going.

Love his skating. Glad to see him ripping again.

I had the same thought but given Ive with that same vibe lately I didn’t want to judge. Cause it really could be either or. I figure he’s just so hyped to have someone want to put a camera on him for doing something he loves again he’s just hyped up on life.

An instant “fuck yea” slipped out when I saw this pop up. Much needed

mattchew · « **Reply #13 on:** May 11, 2022, 11:45:43 AM »

This made my day. Very glad Ben is happy, healthy, and absolutely shredding.

There’s no judgement here for sure-
In either case it just is what it is…
If he needs any support I hope he gets it, if he doesn’t- it’s great too see him again.

Not saying you were doing this, but there can’t be any shying away from / identifying or reaching out to any possible mental illness these days. It’s always the elephant in the room no one wants to acknowledge.

DaleSr · « **Reply #15 on:** May 11, 2022, 12:14:38 PM »

He looks happier and healthy and being back home looks like it had a positive impact on him. I'm beyond stoked to see he's got joy in skating again

Yay Ben!

Lowcalcium · « **Reply #20 on:** May 11, 2022, 01:57:51 PM »

Love Ben's skating...always have!

What's the name of the trick he does at 6:14? I'd love to try it one day on something small. Like a 3 foot quarter.

Roy Machine · « **Reply #21 on:** May 11, 2022, 02:17:42 PM »

I revisit the part of Ben where he skates this steep ass ramp padless regularly.

Glad that hes doing better.

Owen · « **Reply #22 on:** May 11, 2022, 03:55:13 PM »

Great to see Ben back stoked and shredding

No handed sweeper. They’re fun as hell.
Stoked as hell to see Ben back again and even more stoked that he shouted out Donovan Rice as his favorite skater. The only complaint I have about his Donovan truck section is he didn’t pull out a staple gun. That’s not really a complaint though, just one of his ‘staples’. Early 90s Alien shapes for their first run? Oh I fucking hope he does the Blender JBL shape. LOOOOOVED that one.

Fuck this is an absolute joy. Such an incredible skater to watch, looking forward to him being back in the mix!

I reckon Roller Surfer needs to start paying him style royalties now though lol.
