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.
RIP Ben Raemers

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

Typical thought of stupid   dude that knows nothing about  Plato, Francis Bacon, Hume and Popper. But they wanna call something pseudoscience.

Christianity has nothing to do with science some atheist bullshit here.

The majority of Christians don’t believe in science, you dolt.

That’s not true, you dolt.   A certain subsection of evangelicals may have been brainwashed into thinking global warming is a political issue, but that’s a far cry from the majority of Christians

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 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.

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.
