Shout out to Xgames for getting guys in the games that actually deserve it. Chris and Colby Raha mainly. Also thanks to all the Grandmothers looking out for their grandkids, especially my own.
Chris Joslin is my favourite skater. It's a combination of his fearlessness, variety of tricks, and the amount of footage he puts out. I've watched every one of his parts countless times, so when I finally got to meet him in Vancouver a few weeks ago, it was something I'll never forget. It was after the Go Skate Day event, I spent the day filming him and everyone else, including Trevor McClung and Matt Berger, at all the different spots we hit. At the bbq afterwards I was going through some of the clips and I wanted to show Joslin one of his tricks. I walked up to him and asked him if I could show him something, then pulled out my camera and and played his nollie backside heel over the Courthouse 11. He was genuinely stoked, said it was sick, and thanked me for filming. I shook his hand and asked him if I could get a picture. He said of course, so I turned around and there was Trevor McClung drinking a beer. I asked him if he would mind taking a photo, and he gladly did. Afterwards I talked with Trevor and told him how awesome it was to be able to film him and all the other incredible skaters that day, and how my dream of being able to film pro's became a reality. So to Joslin, McClung, and all the other skaters who threw down that day, thanks for giving me such amazing footage to work with. There were so many clips that between working full time it took me a week to put it all together, but the edit is on my page for everyone to see. Thanks again for making this aspiring skate filmers dream come true!
Wow what a story, what a guy, what a grandma.. respect for holding it together. And being a dad myself, respect for taking the responsibility and holding on to it.
He's already a legend in my heart! But also a Monster of skateboarding, When I think massive tricks Chris Joslin is the first name in my mind with Andrew Renolds, Sheckler, Jamie Thomas
So much love and so much respect for Grandma Joslin. To will the good of another...that is what love is! Thank you Grandma Joslin for taking Chris to the skatepark as often as you did and filming!
That is all it takes, someone to care enough to believe in a loved one's dreams. Great work Grandma!!! Chris is already a legend among skaters. That will never die.
Great video. Resonates deeply with my adult self. I was never nearly as good a skater, but was on a good trajectory. But, alcohol, pot, parties, and girls robbed me of my focus and drive in skateboarding. It’s crazy that at 40, I still think about that...cause from age 6 to 16 the only thing I ate and dreamed about was skateboarding. It consumed a decade of my life, but in a good way...it created me, inspired me, gave me my dreams. I just started skating again now after 20 plus years off to tend to school, work, responsibilities, discovering late that doing it everyone else’s way was a mistake. There’s no going back, but I enjoy skateboarding in a different way now and am having fun again. God bless. Aloha.
Joslin is for sure one of my favorite skateboarders,i have allways looked up to him,his style his gnarliness,his great attitude everything,you could clearly see that he loves skateboarding so much,and doesnt do it for the money,he is a huge inspiration,i love that dude :)
Every skater needs support, that needs to start from the family. Kudos to Grandma Joslin for the support he got. I'm sure both of you had a lot to talk about what he needed, to keep pushing that piece of wood under his feet.
thank God his grandma put the time into him because I am grateful for that watching him skate is a true pleasure he is amazing in every sense of the word
Chris always has me in my feels when he talks about his upbringing, his challenges and staying motivated. I like it when people share their stories, I find inspiration to do something with my life.
This foo motivates me so much its not even funny. I remember my first year of skating i found out about him, id always keep in the back of my mind "i cant stop i need to keep trying, what would joslin do? He keeps going til he rolls away" thank you for all you do to inspire skaters like me - Rueben duran
I love this dude. Chris is an amazing person with a fantastic story. His grandmother deserves so much credit for raising such a driven and well rounded young man. I wish him the best. Btw his quote, "i don't love being a dad, I love being my daughter's dad" hit home. That's a great way to put it and his kid is lucky to have a great father like that
I listened to his 9 Club Podcast episode not long ago. Loved his story but it was him telling it and he's a humble cool dude. Seeing this after was awesome. Don't know him but I'm proud of him. Don't know his grandma but I love her. Good people.
Always loved his style. Didn't know about childhood. Makes me pull for this dude even more. Your past doesn't have to keep you down. What an inspiration
Much respect to Chris's grandma for taking him in and teaching him a positive way of facing life and Chris keeping killing the sport and keeping that positive outlook.
Just helped him at my job, such a humble guy! Would have never known he was a pro skater or his background! Also, thank you Grandma Joslin, you’re amazing!
Too motivational... I am a huge fan... God bless you career, save your soul and take you to His Kingdom and the time is right. Put a smile Joslin, Jesus loves you more than anyone.
Such a true inspiration we all go through ups and downs but to tell you focus on them and fix them that shows your true character nothing but respect for Chris Joslyn on and off the skateboard hope for nothing but the best in the years to come in to see lots of gold around your neck nobody deserves it more
Skateboarding has taught me patience, determination, persistent, and discipline; all of my character traits today. By earnest effort, discipline and self-control, let the wise man build for himself a character which no flood shall overwhelmed.
God Bless your Grandma bro! Without her taking you to the park, you wouldn’t be where you are today. She deserves a lot of respect for taking over as your guardian. She has some good karma coming her way, to say the least. 👏🏼✌🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
ride on joslin im very proud of u man and u remind me of my cousin jimmy van pelt! i gotta say, God bless u for showing these kids in a rough world that their is hope thru determination regardless of upbringing. i believe God is using u to reach the young crowd who is so commonly in a similar position as u were when ur dad was missing and theyre raised by society. society is a dark place more than ever rn and i can relate as far as the meth people in my family. its a life destroying drug. keep spreading the love man!
Great work Chris, you're a beast on a board and sound like you're learning a lot through life. Your Plan B part is one of my favourties of all time. Joyce, you should be proud! Of him and yourself.
Chris has always been one of my favorite skaters ever. It’s funny I don’t skate I can’t figure it out. I can’t play any other sport without really trying but not skating but I support it to the fullest. Which gets me a bunch of haters. I met Chris at a comp in California and told him this he was like it’s cool don’t worry about what people think. Ryan same way. Glad you guys got focused again on the good. Using to celebrate is a negative reinforcement on something positive. It’s weird but having a beer hanging out is one thing but drinking because you are stoked on something is not good. Keep killing it. Always gonna support Etnies and the crew
Man I wasn't gonna post this, but my grandma would take me to the skatepark when I was in rehab. Grandma's are such a blessing. Thanks for sharing your story too
Credit for what she has done for you you are blessed keep her always in your heart love you Grandma even though I don't know you love you Chris Joslin even though I don't know you..
Dude. WTF Innocently thought I was going to enjoy some skate clips...wasn't expecting to take a howitzer round right in the feels! :'( I especially enjoyed how mature and honest his self-analysis was starting around 6:35. Seems like a pretty sharp guy.
When grandma starting crying cos she's so proud of him hit me right in the feels, just lost my grandma to covid last week rest in peace grandma hope I can make you proud 🧡
Cool style with those complex big air flip tricks. I do think there was way more potential within doing combinations on that 4 step gap you landed on the 16th try. I am happy for you that you have a grandma that inspired your journey. Much Love grandma. Nice skating Chris Joslin. 🙏♥️Love, Kyle
Thank you Grandma Joslin for supporting Chris and giving us one of the dopest skaters ever!!
If you think about it this grandma influenced the skate industry. shes probably the coolest grandma out there :p
Word
Grams got me choked up a bit ngl. The impact that ONE loving, involved adult can have on a persons development is astronomical.
I bet Chris is as proud of her as she is of him
Yeah Grandma for the win! SO amazing. 💞
Big big love to Granny!!!! What a woman ❤️
Granny Way
Didnt expect to be crying at the end of a skate video. Awesome film. Thank you.
Right?! Lol, good vid, this kid kills it.
😂😂 for real
Me too ... Just a Tear
You and me both
👍👍👍
You know you're getting old when Shecks is calling people "kid"
Right. It happened, I'm old.
haha yeah :D its been a long time ..
Right? Shecks is 30 now 😳
@@mikowl5713 30 is old and im 24 turming 25 on dec 3
backside flip at El Toro.... where's the footage Ryan?
That's a good grandma right there. Huge respect.
I’m crying Chris you are such an amazing person
Fusion Trickz I teared up when grandma jostlin started crying

Great comment. Miss my Gran every single day.
@@buckodonnghaile4309 I bet man, RIP. Both my Grandma's are 86 and in good health which is amazing I need to start spending more time with them.
Grandma Joslin stole my heart. Bless her. She raised a good kid.
"Except for discipline... That one came from Grandma" 😂😂😂🙏
My Grandma also always drove us to the next skatepark near my hometown as kids. RIP Grandma, Love you!
Man, that one hit me in the feels. Stay up Joslin!
Rest in peace Grandma Joslin, you will greatly missed. ❤

Favorite skater's favorite skater
His grandma is a queen for raising up him and supporting him! Very nice story behind this legendary skateboarder
Wow what a story, what a guy, what a grandma.. respect for holding it together. And being a dad myself, respect for taking the responsibility and holding on to it.
I’m 30 and Joslin is my favorite pro skater . I went from loving the legends to appreciating the truth of today. Skate or Die!
Im 45 and Joslin is my favorite skater too. When I watch his videos, I want to pick up my board and skate harder.
As an alcoholic; using skateboarding to overcome this problem in my life, I can relate. Good for him.
Tell that to Dustin Dollin or David Gravette
He's already a legend in my heart! But also a Monster of skateboarding, When I think massive tricks Chris Joslin is the first name in my mind with Andrew Renolds, Sheckler, Jamie Thomas

He puts down the best footage hands down. It's been 12 years since ive seen someone film so graciously. Leo Romero and Joslin are one and the same.
Probably the only skate video I've teared up to. I love this. I love this life. Thank God for skateboarding and Grandma's around the world. ❤️
The feels! Always love how talented, yet humble he is. Now I see why. Shout out to all the Grandmas like her!
thank God his grandma put the time into him because I am grateful for that watching him skate is a true pleasure he is amazing in every sense of the word
Chris always has me in my feels when he talks about his upbringing, his challenges and staying motivated. I like it when people share their stories, I find inspiration to do something with my life.
Chris Joslin is seriously a legend. Been watching his journey for awhile now and it's always so amazing to see what comes next from this guy.
This foo motivates me so much its not even funny.

Wow what an amazing person Joyce is! She obviously hasn't had the easiest run either but damn, love can get you places!
Granny is an angel. How very blessed she has made us all by raising an absolute dominator like Chris
In my 20 years of watching skateboarding
Him, Chris Cole & Nyjah Huston (it pains me to say) are incredible.
Chris Joslin is an AMAZING talent!
I was a fan before... but now I have the utmost respect and admiration for you Chris.
Never thought a skateboarding video could make me shed a tear
So much substance and lessons to learn in this video!! Grandma Joslin has all of my respect and love
Grandma is the best! Thank you!
Always loved his style. Didn't know about childhood. Makes me pull for this dude even more. Your past doesn't have to keep you down. What an inspiration
It always seems like there's a lot of anger right under the surface and that's what makes Chris such a great skater. He's amazing to watch!
What a person, insane. I must watch it twice because the energy of this video is on a high level! So glad that I met him.
What a moving video. First Joslin video where no one is talking about the tricks. Dudes a beast on the board and in life.
its a such a pleasure to see a grandma that proud ! well done, Chris, very well done !
I shed a tear,my family story is almost the same,was growing with my grand ma too,i would make her proud as chris does..
Great story!! Joslin is an amazing skater, mad respect for you Brother, mad respect!! Keep the drive!! Namaste to you all!
"... or just having a hard time now, channel that into your future." Thanks Chris. Really needed this!
Much respect to Chris's grandma for taking him in and teaching him a positive way of facing life and Chris keeping killing the sport and keeping that positive outlook.
One of the most inspiring skateboards in the history! Proud of you Chris!
I loved Joslin just for his skating. I could never have imagined he was such a big person!
The past is only a memory... it has no power if you don't allow it. Great video, love it.
Just helped him at my job, such a humble guy! Would have never known he was a pro skater or his background! Also, thank you Grandma Joslin, you’re amazing!
Best grandmother ever. Everyone needs someone like her in their life.
Awesome grandma and I mean that by the definition she literally creates awe.
Nothing more heart warming than the Joslin story. Grandma included.
Chris Joslin is my inspiration. Such a sad backstory. Hopefully one day I can 360 flip like Chris!
Thank you grandma joslin for making this insane skater so humble m🙏😉🛹
Too motivational... I am a huge fan... God bless you career, save your soul and take you to His Kingdom and the time is right. Put a smile Joslin, Jesus loves you more than anyone.
She put the G in grandma. What a true hero for looking out for our boy. 🙏🏽
So glad he got away from the alcohol. And his grandma is amazing. Love this!
Full tears ,you and granny are an inspiration
You can not like certain brands but respect skaters that ride for them regardless and Joslin is a prime example. Dude is so rad.
Really proud of you Chris. You're a real person, with a real heart.
We love you!!
God bless you Joyce - Thanks from us all.
This man is blessed to have an awesome supportive grandma.
Such a true inspiration we all go through ups and downs but to tell you focus on them and fix them that shows your true character nothing but respect for Chris Joslyn on and off the skateboard hope for nothing but the best in the years to come in to see lots of gold around your neck nobody deserves it more
Fantastic video! Loved Joslin before this, but now I have a whole new level of respect for him.
Skateboarding has taught me patience,
determination,
persistent,
and discipline;
all of my character traits today.
By earnest effort, discipline and self-control,
let the wise man build for himself a character
which no flood shall overwhelmed.
God Bless your Grandma bro! Without her taking you to the park, you wouldn’t be where you are today.
She deserves a lot of respect for taking over as your guardian. She has some good karma coming her way, to say the least.

Bro i literally cried. Your story is amazing. Skateboarding helped me to become an entrepreneur and who i am today.
No grandma, you succeeded as a responsible & caring human being! We love u!
Grandmas are so special... ❤️
Dude. WTF
Innocently thought I was going to enjoy some skate clips...wasn't expecting to take a howitzer round right in the feels! :'(
I especially enjoyed how mature and honest his self-analysis was starting around 6:35. Seems like a pretty sharp guy.
Hands down one of my favourite skaters from this era such a beast
Congrats man as an old school skater i started tearing up seeing your passion for the sport
When grandma starting crying cos she's so proud of him hit me right in the feels, just lost my grandma to covid last week rest in peace grandma hope I can make you proud 🧡
So Chris is from the Hood as well, I knew there was a reason why I liked him
Great to see he's not only an inspiring skateboarder but also an inspiring person!
Never would have thought that Joslin and especially Ryan had drinking problems ... Good that they got better!
Svante Pavón ryan used to do cocaine back when he used to chill wit lil wayne ..
Oh no he did cocaine oh no lol I bet their drinking wasn’t even that bad but hey flame me if you want
Cool style with those complex big air flip tricks. I do think there was way more potential within doing combinations on that 4 step gap you landed on the 16th try.
I am happy for you that you have a grandma that inspired your journey. Much Love grandma.
Nice skating Chris Joslin.
🙏♥️Love, Kyle
