I've seen lefty shred for 15 years now..first time I every went to OB park at age 14..and I remember him skating by with just 1 arm, made me just realize that life shouldn't be full of excuses as to why you cant do something. The saying should be "everything is possible".not anything.. thank you for all the years of skate growth. Keep shredding
Thank you for this Video. I started skating with 11 years but i had to stop with 13 because of a Tumor inside my neck. After the operation my left arm and my left leg was paralysed and they need to make my neck stiff. I learned how to move around again without a wheelchair but my left arm is still paralysed. Now i am almost 31 and i want to start skating again, slowly but i am sure i belongs on a Skateboard but i am to afraid. Your video showed me what is possible and gave me some energy 🙏 but in the same way it looks really bad when you fell down but you are a powerful person, you do what you love! Stay safe my dude 🙏 Greets from Germany
This was sooo good! You hear all the time of tragedy and how skateboarding continues the spirit. The spirit in skateboarding is powerful. It takes a collective whole to make it work ✌️
This video is only up for a couple hours and it has 2 down votes? I hope those were mistakes! If not imagine how the self hate those people must deal with. Imagine you feel so shitty and miserable about yourself that you see something like this and it makes you mad enough to take time out to hate on it. Anyway this dude is awesome! A lot of people would let something like this destroy them. He decided to accept it, own it, and embrace it! And I'm sure that is what has brought him not only peace but a tremendous amount of wisdom and understanding of what it means to be alive. Mad props to him!
we all ride on 4 wheels! im sooo stoked on all these people overcoming obstacles in life that some other people fall into victim mentality instead of looking at the posative things in life. if your breathing, youre living so make the best of any situation.
Agreed, keeps you on a better path then if you werent. I watxhed alk my friends from school fall into drugs n partying. I didnt do sht aside from occasionally drinking when i was young. I started fcking with the oh wee after i quit skating n got older.
The reality is if they had survived he would have mentioned them as being a part his inspiration. He said his brother ended up on the other side of the street. That’s like 80 feet... 😢
This put a huge smile 😁 on my face, I'm in the same boat and I know exactly what he means about falling on the right side, I almost already broke my jaw trying a front feebs, NEVER lol *Justsk8*
Wait a second, I’ve watched this guy on TH-cam before, ages ago, when I was like 10 years old. His friend did a 13 stair jump and started bleeding from his balls lol
In a weird way, the way a disability happens can effect you differently. The fact he could have died in that accident leaves him grateful, even if he lost an arm. Thankful for what you have left. Now what if he were born with one arm? Could have a totally diff look out
Even if he had a prosthetic I wouldnt wear it skating. Thise things arent cheap. Manuals with 1 arm is impressive. Alot use their arms for balance, like a high wire Walker uses a pole
“if I didn’t die, I am gonna live” .... I am in awe! Go Lefty and bravo to both you and your wise & beautiful mamá!

Badass! Lefty Rules!
Dope story man!!!’
That off duty cop at 0:59, is looking like Brandon Turner's silhouette
1502...Stay Positive bro! Proud of you
Skateboarding molds you into a different person , no cap
Daaaamn no seat belts on before & now no helmet. Pure gnarl. What a beast.
Gg's all around 🤘
Inspiring. But I have to know, did his siblings survive the crash?
I wondered the same thing. I think if they would have died they would have said so.
The reality is if they had survived he would have mentioned them as being a part his inspiration. He said his brother ended up on the other side of the street. That’s like 80 feet... 😢
He said in an interview a few years back that they all survived
they all survived and are thriving :)
hi i’m his niece in the end of the video and yes my dad and aunt survived 🥰
No excuses!
Damn what a shredder. Anyone know if he's actually left handed? I can't imagine losing my dominant hand. hes twice as sick if he was a righty before
Respect!!!
this is soooo based.. thanks for this DC & shoutout to Lefty!
Damn, thats some inspiration!
Now that's some inspiring sh!t, keep ripping Lefty!!

They did. Rhino did an interview with him a couple years back and he mentioned that everyone came out alive.
Yoooo! My man is fuckin sick with it dude.

Man, bet he takes some serious slams.
OB G.

4:09 , CAN you say TWEAKED
I hope they got a huge settlement from the construction company
Turn Lefty Pro❤️
Legit
Same town as Boo Johnson!
Who the fuck would dislike this video
Even if he had a prosthetic I wouldnt wear it skating. Thise things arent cheap. Manuals with 1 arm is impressive. Alot use their arms for balance, like a high wire Walker uses a pole
Alot of the balancing on manuals are from foot pressure
Message from aus, where ya seat belts!
yeah
yeahhh nice check
Fuck yeah man
i used to skate with a kid with one arm.. dude got alot of S in skate from nose grabs
wow, fucking insane
Still got my right arm but pretty much useless.. skating rocks
