#vice #skate #art
I have no idea why this videos title is made out to sound like someone is surrounded by struggling with issues? This dude Skates and makes art insanely well & is really balanced. It's not about someone battling mental illness or something like the videos title makes it out to be..
Dude briefly mentions imposter syndrome... Vice: This dude is battling imposter syndrome!
Now you know how the news or any article works to grab your attention
First time using the internet, dude?
Really mid short on a honestly average suburban artist …~ they needed that to get clicks
Who’s he posing as because I’ve never heard of him.
well yeah he's totally ripped off Jay Riggio so i can see how he feels like an imposter
You are blessed. Both parents, artistic gifts, loving fiance. Dude. You have it ALL.
Supportive fathers make a world of difference.
fathers leave in the nature often. saviorself
An excellent example how important it is to be a great parent. Creating a safe loving home, and allowing your kids to use their mind and channel them the right way.
It was a single sentence on imposter syndrome.
It is so important to encourage Art in your family and showing your kids different kinds of expression in life!🎉
My era was Lords of Dogtown. The surfboard art vs. empty swimming pools.
That's one of my fav skaters
I have imposter syndrome bc I cant pop an ollie anymore in my 20s. Lmaooo.. Take a breath, and a step back so everything seems real for a moment.
You have 2 parents, a partner, a home, a career, and passions to fuel your validity in life.
This was really good. Dude is most definitely an artist.
Super talented artist and skateboarder, love my board graphic
This was awesome. Ryan is the real deal: a talented artist and skater. He's quickly become one of my favorites. Cool family, too 🍻
It's your soul, it's got something to say. Enjoy your genius, it's beautiful.😊
So rad ! The artwork is So Cool too
his dad seems a lot cooler than him but still calling bullshit on the 15 bunny hop till he provides the footage.
15 bunny hop on an old cruiser pretty sure the bike would collapse unless you have crazy good finesse
His dad was gnarly
Tell Spike Jonze to get Kenny Hotz back to interview the 2024 rally
Evan smiths kickflip fs wallride wasn’t already done by that time?
We love Ryan's art!
Damn, i don't know anything about skating or the guy but i love his art!
very excellent and interesting video!! loved it
Really love this piece
She is a very good tattoo artist 💯
Little MEAR tag from CBS crew on that 15 set @4:55
Might be an imposter
ryan seems like a really cool dude
Crazy to think that Ryan use to grow up around my area and my buddy was good friends with him and one day Ryan came over and he was easily one of the best around. Doesn’t surprise me one but he’s a ripper👊🏻
This is incredibly inspiring! thanks for this! also Imposter Syndrome is the worst!
4:58 wheres that footage though?
Rare good vice content
Cap 🧢 they lame as h3ll
Dude's art is AWESOME!!!!
Hey VIce, if you're wondering why there's so many comments about this clickbait nonsense merely because the subject uttered the words, then you belong to the clown-car Hollywood Reporter school of journalism. Imposter Syndrome is like an additional apocalyptic horseman, just ruining and shattering what it touches. My Dad has a friend/colleague who is a former police officer, he left to pursue other avenues of employment because he could not reconcile his own reality with the one where he responded to a distress call in which a woman (who was a florist) murdered her children because they were actually others, wearing her children's faces. So, cool buzzword for your title, but if I were this talented skater and artist, I would be livid at you for associating me with this psychotic condition.
So rad thank you
Love how he kept the kink 😂
Wtf is this Edit? Where's O Dell?
He said imposter syndrome once and made that the title lol
Winky style really good stuff
Jay Riggio
What is imposter syndrome?
Impostor syndrome is a psychological experience of intellectual and professional infraudulence.
You feel like a fraud and imposter at what you're doing, as if you don't belong and shouldn't be there and don't deserve your success.
Me at work basically…
@@stormthrush37so being a grown up in modern times 😂😂 everyone has a diagnosis now a days 😅
Imposter syndrome....so STOKED 😅
What remotely was the point of first, this video ?….and two, the frikkin title ?? Total BS…..not interesting or pertinent 😵💫
A bit disappointing that this was a full clickbait situation. He could have been profiled as an artist and skater without the mental health ‘battle’ as a misnomer.
Bring back Patrick o’dell
Ha. I just bought that board
I dig the resin collage works, cool AF. (what is up with these kids and the "LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE...I WAS LIKE SKATING and then I LIKE had lunch, and LIKE my taco was cold, Like..."?
Ummmm…..like….what?
Wtf is imposter syndrome lol
Those people that is lets say normal do something and become popular with what they doing and they didn't expect it and become famous, well known and therefore don't know how to handle fame so they get depressed and become drug heads or whatever or kill themselves that s**t is crazy
not epicly laterd , interesting
This artwork is absolutely exceptional.
You should check out the artist Jay Riggio. To say he influenced Townley's art is an understatement, if you know what I mean.
so not only are we vocalizing what everyone thinks we are making video series on it? just when you think skateboarding couldnt get anymore antifa/snowflake hahahahahaha
The art is badass!
amogus impostah
Among us
Yo 90's called they want their video quality back
😼
This dude is lame
Urrr whack
Vice squeezing the last breath out of its videos with some absolutely scrupulous click baiting - embarrassing
The series was created & shot long before Vice got involved.
battle? the piece isn't bad but the title is clickbait, which brings down everything that surrounds it.
Moral of the story, good parents = amazing children
Amazing skate and amazing art. You need to change the title though, this wasn't a story about imposter syndrome lol
Coolest dude ever! Met him at brea skatepark with my stepbrother some years before the remodel and he was the chillest dude ripping at the park, everybody kinda just sat back and watched him rip it was sick
Is it because he thinks he’s a cholo?
Super boring piece … like … good for you bro
Exactly. Reeks of middle-class luck
if you don’t feel like you should be here you’re probably exactly where you need to be as an artist
@@getoldforever6774or maybe you should leave...
Attention seeking attempt number 30
Man that father and son relationship is awesome, I hope that when I have a son or daughter that we connect in forms of art!
I don’t care about the artwork part!!! Stick to skateboarding stories
Lotta weirdos in the comments sounding real jaded at hardworking people, dude rips and art is solid, nuff said
Sir please help me scammer cheated me 5k
Click bait. Watched this for real disorder information.
“Imposter syndrome” 🤷🏽...you mean remaining truly humble, as a human being should be 👍🏽
everytime his girl spoke, she found a way to talk about herself. we can celebrate u another time dear.
Take it easy incel.
Ryan is super sick!!!! But vice is so wack🤣
an imposter SYNDROME... 🤣 as if its pancreatic cancer or treatment resistent schizophrenia....
just gonna point out whats been stated by the boys..
your misses is pretty hot bro
That teriyaki ledge is in Norwalk 562 !!🎉
his skating is good, his art is not. respectfully
I thought this was about Imposter Syndrome, please change the misleading title!
Nah, this was kind of uninteresting...
Need to check if im having that problem
It’s a shame that a teacher would say something like that to a child/kid. It’s because of those people saying that to them well it’s all on after that just to prove them wrong. Teachers are supposed to be boosting their students to be the best they can but when kids get told they won’t amount to anything or they can’t do that it’s a hard thing and the kids will be victims of suicide because nobody lifted them up and gave them something to strive for.
You’re a relatively popular skateboarder.. relax
IM SORRY RYAN I WILL AND HAVE ALWAYS LOVE YOU - daisy
it's cool you're pretty butter
Is this channel getting blowed by skateboards now? This is all they play now.
lol such a stupid clickbait
Wooow cool he is smart
Great job, Ben and team!
Fucking 👍ice
Poor title.
🛹🛹🛹
Say stoked too much
Stoked
Rad
Gnarly
All overused in skateboarding 1000x too much
Rad!
I just love Ryan's style on a skateboard. His art is like a marriage of graphic design, Warhol-esque pop art, and texture with his use of resins and other materials. It is very much aligned with his skating, and like his skating, has a tactile quality to it.
They seem like a cool couple. However I wish people didn't use the word 'like' every few words as it's very distracting and makes them seem inarticulate.
veryy kool art ryan that 99cents store pico rivera
DBC..DAILY BLESSINGS COMING! .. Thank You ALL for SKATEBOARDING and Everything, EVERYDAY!!
It’s funny that when you Google street view the skate spot at the teriyaki restaurant, there’s someone skating it.
sick total boat sticker, great rez
Rad how your dad was casually sending it down the 15 busting forks ..thats gnar on a cruiser what holy fuk man i can just picture him gathering speed for the launch cutting across the intersection.
