Antwuan 2 years sober & Father to 2 kids
« on: January 26, 2023, 01:57:33 PM »
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

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?

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.

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.

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.

I wouldn't want to see him back on Baker, but I would like to see a shared part with Antwuan and Kader.

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.

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.
