@@alejandromoreno5056 It's definitely memory. Obviously he doesn't think about all of these things everyday because he's lived such a long interesting life, but the moment he is shown a clip or someone brings up an old story the memory of it instantly comes flooding back and he can recall every detail again. Im the same way. He had that much fun in his life, so it's very easy to remember fun things in your life, especially things that you are physically AND mentally engaged in, like kickflipping a giant set of stairs with adrenaline going through you. When you associate feelings with memories it becomes a lot easier to remember things. (unlike memorizing formulas for a math test) He probably just has a healthy skater brain from being in shape and absorbing sunlight like most skaters are and do.
So many people hate on him, being Nikes first professional skateboarder, but, he innovated street skateboarding in a way many can’t fathom. He’s happy, comfortable in life. And is still holding it down.
Imo he was a huge part of the contest scene flourishing and showing that you can make BANK by putting in the work. Even though contest skating isn’t really my forte, I can’t help but recognize how much of a true skate rat PRod is!
Always crazy to see Paul. I went to Middle school and High School with him before he left for home schooling. We hung out in the same group in HS and I used to go to his house and skate with him. I was no where near as good as him but he was always encouraging. Good dude.
Dude, you can totally see how important this era was for Paul, like telling you the spots and shoes and memories of the first switch back tail and stuff. So cool.
Funny shit is I saw Paul at the El Monte Courthouse filming for his Logic 6 part and I bought some ugly ass green shoes off Nigel there around that time too. He was hustling 😂
Yo Paul if your reading this man. I’m your shadow Luis rodriguez from sfv 34 now but. 118 boradshop was my home bro and your still my idle in skating since we were kids when you went to homes middle school. My older brother Noel Lopez was in the same class as you. You the goat in sfv.. one day we could have skate sesh with our kids..
I'm so glad you give NKA the proper credit & then some. I love him. Hes the reason I got back into skateboarding after 18 years off the board. All those hours I spent watching his videos were worth it. Get him up on your show guys!!
@@fr-ik3749 Nigel is the man. Behind the camera & in front of it. Skate vloggers need to take notes. Stop talking too much & skating too little. I wish there was somebody like NKA up here in the bay area. I think I need to do it.
I sometimes forget why he’s my favorite skater, then I get this gem I remember watching these vids on YT and being mind blown and now I just realized that he was doings some of those tricks switch legendary
I really really wish you would just jump straight into the videos you’re talking about rather than showing the small box. You can just talk over the videos out of the screen. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a full video because I often leave to go watch the videos you’re talking about.
We wish we could, and we’ve actually tried. But unfortunately there’s copyright issues and we’ve gotten flagged for it. So to not get kicked off TH-cam and have no show we have to do the Picture in Picture 😢
He's a pretty energetic dude so I assume he had an issue breathing into the mic or jumping in while other people were talking and the button helps keep the audio cleaner but not sure.
Paul’s memory is so on point my God, Chris doesn’t even have time to ask him any questions going through the footage🤣
Skaters memory banks go deeeeeeeeeepppppp
it's not memory, it's on film
u tend to remember those milestone stretches of your childhood

Love how enthusiastic he is about every detail of the spots, time, shoes, boards...that's love right there
P-rod is the man!

Hell yeah I couldn’t agree more. Prod is the man. Legend
Imo he was a huge part of the contest scene flourishing and showing that you can make BANK by putting in the work. Even though contest skating isn’t really my forte, I can’t help but recognize how much of a true skate rat PRod is!
he helped Nike establish legitimacy in skateboarding, for sure. iirc, Nike's first pro was Bam Margera pre-2001.
He seems chill it’s still a grind. You don’t know what it’s like when cameras are off. I’m sure it’s intense PT to recover after those battles.
Wait, people actually hate on P Rod?

Paul got that elephant memory, he remembered everything and definitely here for that!!

P-rod will always be the goat
You know PRod loves skateboarding when he remembers EVERYTHING, so dope
Lil Paul was a inspiration for me when I was skating at 14
North high ledges was the local spot. Saw him there several times back in the day. 2002ish
Funny shit is I saw Paul at the El Monte Courthouse filming for his Logic 6 part and I bought some ugly ass green shoes off Nigel there around that time too. He was hustling 😂
Watching Paul nerd out on old shit makes me smile 😊 pretty damn good memory too
One of the absolute all-time greats. PERIOD.
P-rod and Tom Penny my all time favorites💯
I'm from the valley too and see prod skate many times. I remember him skating at a val surf skate demo
Very sharp memory of back then!
He’s an amazing skater and an amazing human being 🤘🏻

I grew up in the valley too and it was always nice to see P rod at Sylmar High when I would go skate there. Hes a living legend for sure.
i remember seeing paul in london with the es team before he became real big and he was ripping it and so young at the time in 2000
Crobs kinda gives me like a skater therapist vibe more then like an interviewer
This guy was the reason i used to go out and skate everyday
i love how he uses his kicks almost as time stamps in his memory lmaooo and those what the dunksss, so sexy
Imagine, the last time you ever paid for a board you were 13-14 and it was a Blind Ronnie Creager board. 🤯
I'm so glad you give NKA the proper credit & then some. I love him. Hes the reason I got back into skateboarding after 18 years off the board. All those hours I spent watching his videos were worth it. Get him up on your show guys!!
i was wondering if nigel was NKA! thats so dope

Yup went to both schools with him. Memories
I sometimes forget why he’s my favorite skater, then I get this gem I remember watching these vids on YT and being mind blown and now I just realized that he was doings some of those tricks switch legendary
I slept on Prod forever. It's not like I didn't know he was great, but I never watched a lot of his footage. Dude is out of his mind good.

Valley skate & surf. 118. Yeah!!!

"Feels like yesterday.." P.Rod ( and every other skater over 30.)
I love P Rod so much. Dude got hella hate back in the day but he was sick.
Shoutout to you Paul. Gs up
The last board he bought was a ronnie creager blind. My first pro board was a ronnie creager mixmaster.
What great memories this conjures up very cool stuff.

N2gether now!
Is the Nigel he’s talking about NKA?
Yes
For something that was so anti-establishment it's incredible how obsessed with gear skateboarding is
I wonder if you went back in time and told a 14 year old p rod where he would be today what would he do
Was reading comments in some other video and saw someone said nyjah sold weed back den didn’t think it was true then just saw this shit hahaha
They need to stop interrupting the people on the show and let them tell their story.
Since im was trippin dude - someone
P-Rod Rode For éS before Corporate Nike
R.I.P. Oneighteen skateshop
The demos and playing skate out front was the shit. Rip the Shell drop once they put the target in.
@@Mr.McDuffie I remember one demo watching daewon skate 6 ft half pipe blowing my mind! That Shell across the street is tent city now 😢

Get Luan Oliveira on 9 club asap
Batb 13 legends vs icons
I have prods pro model from glassy sunglasses and they are very comfortable and ppl think they look sweet. Call em my doctor eggmans
Kelly has to be lance mountains son or. Something
It's hard to say negative shit about Paul. I want to be a frickin jerk but it's not possible.
why is he touching that button the whole time?
#makeprodforwardflip
Why does kelly have to hold a button
He's a pretty energetic dude so I assume he had an issue breathing into the mic or jumping in while other people were talking and the button helps keep the audio cleaner but not sure.
They tried to set the show up based on a previous TV talk show where one of the additional hosts would hold a button to talk in the same manner
I bought sheffeys off Nigel for sure $25
Who's Nigel..one of DVS rider?
Probably Nigel Alexander.
Stevie williams robbed someones dvs and gave em to prod.
This makes me want to make me be better at skating n off topic but uts considered a sin to cuss but you cab repent
He is the son of that dude who said the fundio of the chicken
