The "idea" of a skateboarding "school" "It's STUPID..... Now skateboarding has become a joke of consumerism, "fashion" and ridiculous "fame" for the "ego" of many "skaters" today..... nothing to do with the true essence of what skateboarding was before
Growin up with “NO SKATEBOARDING” sings all over town and kids having their boards confiscated daily this is a refreshing change in the national tone in the skateboarding conversation
I smell wokeness, DEI & leftism as they try to institutionalize skateboarding. The sport has done just fine over the past 50 plus years without any of this stuff.

@@1PeakMindset Can you explain why "sports and connecting with others on a larger scale outside of it" are worthwhile? See how far idiotic questions will get you? If you want to defend this ridiculous fraud and the waste of funds then start explaining your position instead of asking childish questions. Otherwise, it's best you keep your mouth shut and move on.
@@kendrahansen1175 I would be more than happy to explain my stance. You see, I am a community healthcare worker as well as personal development coach who has spoken on matters such as this one and am well informed as to the benefits of such services. Funding initiatives that involve sports like skateboarding and fostering connections outside of it is an excellent use of time and resources in 2024 for several reasons: 1. Mental Health Benefits: Physical activities like skateboarding provide significant mental health benefits, including stress relief, improved mood, and increased resilience. These benefits are crucial in a time where mental health issues are increasingly prevalent, particularly among youth. 2. Physical Health and Well-being: Encouraging active lifestyles combats the rising rates of obesity and related health problems. Skateboarding is a fun and engaging way to promote physical fitness, which is essential for overall well-being. 3. Community Building: Sports initiatives foster a sense of community and belonging. Skateparks and related events bring people together, creating opportunities for social interaction and community support. This is particularly important in a time where social isolation is a concern. 4. Youth Engagement and Development: Skateboarding and similar sports provide positive outlets for youth, offering them a sense of purpose and direction. These initiatives can deter involvement in negative activities by providing structured, enjoyable alternatives. 5. Inclusivity and Accessibility: Skateboarding is relatively low-cost and accessible compared to other sports, making it inclusive for people from various socioeconomic backgrounds. This inclusivity helps bridge social divides and promote equality. 6. Skill Development: Skateboarding helps develop various skills such as balance, coordination, and perseverance. These skills can translate into other areas of life, including academic and professional pursuits. 7. Cultural Expression: Skateboarding has a rich culture that includes art, music, and fashion. Funding these initiatives supports cultural expression and creativity, providing a platform for individuals to express themselves and their identities. 8. Positive Economic Impact: Investing in sports infrastructure can boost local economies by attracting tourism, creating jobs, and increasing local business revenue. Well-maintained skateparks and events can draw visitors and foster economic growth. 9. Environmental Awareness: Many skateboarding initiatives incorporate environmental awareness and sustainability, encouraging participants to respect and care for their surroundings. 10. Life Skills and Values: Sports teach valuable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and goal-setting. These values are essential for personal development and can positively impact broader societal dynamics. In summary, funding sports initiatives like skateboarding is a strategic investment in physical and mental health, community cohesion, youth development, inclusivity, cultural expression, economic growth, environmental awareness, and the cultivation of life skills. These factors collectively contribute to a more resilient and thriving society in the current social climate. Now would you care to explain in detail how my statements are incorrect?
What a G, nose Manny nollie Heel out!
Yeah, that was impressive.
Right!!!
Was juss about to say that.
what not expecting that trick combo tbh
Wow. Thats epic.
The skate community is one of the best group of people in the world.. I’m so thankful to be a part of it
Antifa used skate boards as weapons against innocent people. Are they part of that community same as this DEI guy thats not even from California.

Unless you wear a helmet. Or the wrong style of pants.
Met all my good friends through skating

Skaters are great athletes as well as great people! Once a skater always a skater
Some sociology professors are just great
So cool, I believe he worked for Stereo skateboards back in the day.
He definitely has a stereo skateboards vibe. Makes sense
Skateboarding changed my life I learned so many life skills thru the sport. New bushings just arrived!! 😊
good to see. indeed skateboarding breaks down walls that usually wouldnt happen. it creates a great community where people can set aside all the bull**** and just enjoy life.
Everything about this is friggin AWESOME!
That cruiser skateboard he had at the beginning of this clip was pretty cool.
MORE EVERYWHERE
This knowledge has been known industry wide for 30 years. Skateboarding saves inner city lives and unites diverse cultures from all around the globe.
Super Cool and fresh idea from a school. Best of luck to this man he is simply trying to do good for his community.
❤❤❤ my dude is an OG ... ( That Ollie to nose and heel flip out ) ...
I'm so happy because in the 90s skateboarders were labeled like criminal activity ❤️ proof skaters always loved everyone ❤️

He started and is still sole owner of DGK
He’s a professional skateboarder who has become a legend
You’re thinking of Stevie Willams. Not this guy
What a beautiful human! Skateboarding as a young person is central to who I have become.
i’ve skated all over socal and agree with every single thing he said! i tend to be introverted but skating allows you to interact with your community more naturally than when i drive places. hopefully when they shut down the coastal train line they make it into a paved path for bikers and skaters to connect more effectively.
Williams
is killing it
Skateboarding has done so much, for everyone involved.
Please get this out in Calgary!!
How did he get that rig to nolly heel out of nose manny ? So sick.
Two different setups 😂
I love me some skateboarding.
The reason we don't discriminate is because its hard. Its a base of 'merit'.
❤❤❤ love you brothers and sisters! Skateboarding is all!!
imo its one of the best examples of a sound democracy.

So fire, og really for the culture
Bro had to let the world know hes valid with that nollie heelflip out we see you brother
Sweet! How can I obtain a PhD in skateboarding??
He is the bizzaro world Gary Rodgers. Both could have a killer podcast together.
