I met Greyson today at Etnies Skatepark and he is one of my favorite skaters. He's actually a really nice guy and enjoyable to talk to. Amazing skater as well...
My buddy in grade school lived a couple doors down from the Fletcher's in Capo Beach in the 80s. I was in third grade, and I already knew about the Fletchers. One day Nathan was playing across the street from my buddy's place. Nathan was a year or two younger than us. We were in third grade so Nathan was probably in first or s cond grade. That day, young Nathan was outside skateboarding on the mellow slope of the street and he was trying to build an embankment out of plywood propped against the curb so he could ride it while riding down hill. It was radical for such a little kid. Such a radical family.
Another great documentary from you guys at Vice,keep them coming just like that. Highest respects from a Portuguese downhiller emigrant in Holland to all the Fletcher family members.
The Fletcher's are one craziest families. Christain and nathen surf, skate, snowboard, and ride dirtbikes and Greyson pretty much does the same or at least skates and surfs. Their whole family reminds me of the rocket power family lol. And the Fletcher's made Jason Jessee into the skater he is because him and Christain grew up together and that's probably why Jason is such a kook too. Fuck they looked up to Duane peters growing up and that guys nuts but awesome
While Greyson Fletcher is known for his skateboarding, it's not uncommon to see him in the water at T Street, or hanging on the North Shore with John John Florence. Check out more episodes of *_Hi Shredability_*: bit.ly/Hi-Shredability
9:39 -9:59 shes sooo fucking right! i remember those Surfer magazines from the 80s and early 90s (when I was a kid) where so haunting with the gnarly attitude they used to suck you right into surfing, now, its so clean and mainstream, i got bored and distant guess times have just changed.. oh well.. who cares....
super cool family love nathan,s insight ..met herbie in a surf shop in central california ..i dorked out and said , hey you look like herbie fletcher and he said thats because i am ..i just stood there like a dork and my buddy who owned the shop started laughing hard ..
Nate/christian Fletcher and Greyson speak nearly exactly the same haha barely opening their mouthes like their jaw is busted. That's not a California twangy accent that's just genetics
Very interesting to know about the history, the guy is a natural ripper....the family history makes a lot of sense. Raw skating, he skates like Cardiel, pure power.
Greyson was my neighbor when I lived in Anaheim hills! We used to ride bikes & skate boards & cause chaos in the dirt lot at the end if the cul-de-sac! He was rad.... These were the days when youd knock on your neighbors door and ask if they could come out and play!
Wow,I'm a huge fan of greyson and his ninja kick ollies. He makes the board float for super long like houdini and shit. But he seems kinda depressed.daytime drinking at work shit?.and even if all those burn marks on his arm are from a "cigarette game" ,what kinda happy and mentally healthy person plays a game like that...cry for help much?...but i hope he keeps killin it and turns pro soon, that would be sick!!!
Nothing but respect for the Fletchers" Ive skated with Greyson a couple of times years ago Im an Oldschool skater, hung it up actually, that guy is scary to watch he commits 100 to everything he does"
Aaron Bird Don't be so goddamn fucking butt hurt about my comment bro. I simply mentioned that he SEEMS totally fucking wasted 24/7. And I'm fully aware of his talent, which is why I'm worried about him looking so goddamn fucking wasted all the time. Alcohol abuse WILL catch up with a person. No matter what you seem to believe.. And no I'm not anti drugs, or anything. I'm quite the stoner myself actually, It's just that I'm fully aware of the side effects and the long term problems linked to abusing several substances.
Nikoma Grob Righteo mate, I don't think he needs someone holding his hand steering him in the right direction. If everyone just stuck to smoking meth everyone would be fine.
It is really cool to see a Fletcher that, seems to, have the best qualities of his family without the rage turned to # 10 like Christian. I'm looking forward to what Greyson does in his business or professional life. He is evidence a college debt of +$80k is NOT always the solution -pleased with how you lead your own life..... is.
I love how when this interviewer is talking about surf royalty he stays humble because he easily could’ve pulled the Lance burghart is my dad card and he never did
Like. Big ass needle marks !???? I don't think so. He wouldn't be able to shred so hard without focus. You can't focus on iv drugs unless he s tweaking
I didn't really know that these skaters are groomed so much. Like this guy and bastien were groomed by Aaron and Geoff so much this is interesting. I want to hire a coach.
Nathan's quote at the end is the best advice anyone can give.
I met Greyson today at Etnies Skatepark and he is one of my favorite skaters. He's actually a really nice guy and enjoyable to talk to. Amazing skater as well...
"The guy who is having the most fun is winning."!!!!!
respect
"Fuck Football!" lmfaoo
His grandparents seem like very supportive people. That's awesome.
Nathan said a fucking mouthful in a single sentence. *"Really, the guy who is having the most fun is winning."*
yeah, man so true! skate/surf forever...quit never! haha
Greyson rips and he's super humble... The Fletchers are all classics!
Nathan’s the best uncle ever.

Love how you guys cover surfing and skating - great stuff!
The Fletchers the whole family has been an inspiration to me toward my surfing and skating ...
It's good to see a family name like Fletcher get continued whether it be in skate or surf
I love this family. Just when you thought they couldn't surprise you the grandson comes flying out like a skating Clint Eastwood.
No way did he say "switch nollie!" Refreshing to hear a (now) pro be so unconcerned with the scene.
thats how much he gives a shit about "skating" haha:P

he's drinking a coke
A bit surprised he isn't Pro already; he totally rips
ok not gunna lie i said this before it showed it, his burns are border-line methaddict....i mean one or two ok, but that many, i get ur point
Ain't got no time for fear!!
He's gnarly af. If you're really about that skate life you'd understand
Greyson you have a very cool family tree...
Nothing but respect for the Fletchers" Ive skated with Greyson a couple of times years ago Im an Oldschool skater, hung it up actually, that guy is scary to watch he commits 100 to everything he does"
Jees he sounds like his dad it's crazy
Love this guy. Such an idol to me rock on kid
Legend family.
That was rad to watch!!!
This guy is insanely good, but he seems totally wasted like 24/7.
Hopefully not. His dad had enough problems with that shit.
Thats what everyone in california seems like mane
Who gives a fuck if he's wasted 24/7. He can obviously still rip harder than you so good on him.
Aaron Bird

Yep, Surfing Royalty for The Surf/Skate Community for sure...!

That's one interesting family
The Fletchers are rad. Surf and skate!
That’s a cool grandma
Grayson kills it along with Herbie. Don't try to drop in on him cause he will slash you.
I had no idea he skated Channel st.
What differentiates Vice documentaries from TV documentaries? The number of times the word fuck is uttered by the presenters or the subjects.
Dibi is a ledgend! What a way to get an education
Does Greyson have a speech impediment or is he just really high?
He seems fucked up on pain killers, if he takes em anyway up to him I guess..
maybe he has asperger , who cares??
i do, he normally doesn't talk like that haha.
isnt that the same way Nathan talks?
what the 'wired shut' method or if not the 'gimme 80mg hydromorphinne approach'?
Wasn't he an actor when he was really young, I remember seeing him on a tv show years ago, but I can't remember the name of the tv show
john from cincinatti?
I think switch nollie frontside blunt ends up being a normal ollie frontside blunt 😅
His uncle schooled him correctly..... Showed him films of John cardiel... All hail cardiel. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Greyson doesn't seem to believe in wearing underwear
probably a nollie front-blunt half-cab
Proof you don't need an education when your parents provide.
Yeah, but you gotta rip though. Can't be a milk dud
9:31 Fuck Football
greyson is way more humble than his dad
9:36 "fuck football"
do you watch football?
greyson - fuck football
lmaoo never related more in my life
are those really ciggaret burns or something else....
Like. Big ass needle marks !???? I don't think so. He wouldn't be able to shred so hard without focus. You can't focus on iv drugs unless he s tweaking
marissac870 hahaha negatory what about original Mavericks crew
Fuck Yea!
Poor kid has a lot of learning to do. At least he's got skating going for him...

I liked that one.
Oh, and never be a pussy. That's a lifetime, key element.
Charles Ross Yeah, that was him.

Fuck football! Yes!! haha
I didn't really know that these skaters are groomed so much. Like this guy and bastien were groomed by Aaron and Geoff so much this is interesting. I want to hire a coach.
