[@christianoliver434]

[@MrBRolls]

theotis is the kindest person in skateboarding

[@jalonzo310]

He is one of the few skaters that actually like to interact with fans. He isnt full of himself like some of the other idiots that are too into themselves. Andy Roy is cool too i got to meet him when he was fucked up on the H and after he got sober. He was chill both times.

[@alexandregauvreau1270]

Is like the type of guy that was suposed to be a nerd but he turned out to be rad

He reminds of Zack Wallin from that 90's photo with the wiener dog on enjoi's site

Neenpoleon Dynamite.

[@xXThUmPerRXx]

That wrist isnt broken thats his YU-GI-OH! playing hand

[@VimeosBetter]

dude youre insane

[@MetroCrypto_]

his style and skating has evolved so much

[@ScoobyMfDew]

@Robert M fucking hater

[@ZolotronCelluloids]

dude, used to drive to chicago just to skate with this kid. so sick to see how far he's come. crazy cause we all had the same dreams and now he's livin it!! so stoked for him, hope he has a long career

[@heelflipsarecool]

Hahaha I just love how his friend gives the board a little kick XD

[@jaden4476]

I gotta be honest neen looks like napoleon dynamite skateboarding........

[@gonzomax7]

thank god neen started smoking weed

[@Spook958]

Thank god he got dreads

[@vaporiiz]

word

[@dontdonbome9982]

Frank shut your ass up he trying to be healthy

[@mjmleafs]

Frank not a vegan

[@phill93]

seems like logic a bit

[@maratkotik2504]

And then he discovered weed...

[@topramenraymond7005]

+Supreme Master EXACTLY what i was thinking

[@brevinbland9985]

he is sober now

[@andrewisnotdead]

and then he discovered acai bowls

[@idea128]

Hey,at least he's taking care of himself now

[@weecx4271]

Theres nothing wrong with smoking weed you just need to balance it with your life

[@mrnoitall9608]

Neen was a angry little guy.. He's changed so much. It's very inspirational.

[@scottdavies562]

neen is a good skater but dam he looks like super geek

[@scottdavies562]

i agree

[@fiddlesticks217]

Christopher Matson weed.

[@maredevil1]

fiddlesticks217 lol

[@rentedguccimink1948]

+fiddlesticks217 I would imagine a whole lot of other shit too. Baker/Deathwish was the definitive team to go to if you were trying to develop a drug habit at one point between Reynolds, Lizard King, Antwuan, Braydon, and probably everybody else on the squad for a good chunk of years.

[@andy_jkp6223]

+scott davies thats neen before weed XD

[@NinjaLifestyle]

I've seen a lot of this footage. I think I have an old part of his from this time period in a stack of old skate cd-r's although it's edited a lot differently... I would have never thought they were the same person

[@812skatetreflip]

That first line was filmed at The HighSchool in Columbus Indiana I think It’s a pretty cool ledge spot and seeing young Neen killing all these Midwest spots is pretty rad. Remember seeing him in Satori video at my local shop I was riding for at the time and tripping out because a lot of the spots were ones I had been to before

[@blackskatersunite]

I keep watchin this vid. its so dope. real inspiration right here

[@2003jamesw]

5:03 found Waldo

[@EDCsteals]

lol the people around him weren’t true friends if they didn’t pull him aside and tell him about that shirt

[@michael111225]

looking back at how he use to skate its amazing how good he is now love his heel flips

[@F_L_U_X]

1:44 - "Close my eyes, and swallow..." O_O

[@shredgardo]

Weed turned him from David Gravette to the Neen we know and love today

[@dicyen5268]

reminds me of napolean dynamite

[@Periwinkle_Pinkk]

That's what I said

[@OGgod420official]

vote for pedro just messin he was on the come up tho! look how good neen is now

[@jonathanvisagie2884]

pedro for president

[@jonathanvisagie2884]

pedro offers protection

[@Ryan-we5zr]

Hes gotten so chill over the years

[@Beniscool950]

napoleon dynamite?

[@jonnypowers22]

Lmao it’s funny how he’s so chill now

[@OGecalien]

Damn.. this fool hella reminds of steve Olson. Especially in fulfill the dream. The shortys shirt. wrist brace. Fro. Glasses. Shit takes me back.

[@thomashenshaw8798]

Eric Carrillo was neen on shorty's? ?

[@OGecalien]

Thomas Henshaw Nah. I don't think so. Shortys faded out. They got so big they felt like they didn't need to promote themselves anymore.

[@joeantolak4629]

Steve Olson ? Pretty sure you mean Alex Olson

[@Philosfromhtx]

Amazing

[@PONYBOYonline]

I remember watching this when it first came out. Wow, nostalgia

[@xXBeAsTXx99]

20 years is crazy

[@danielescobar46]

Neens the MAN.

[@jamminuggabug7135]

Thank you for 🎁!!!:)

[@UlyssesSkates]

The second song is "Something bigger, Something brighter" By Pretty girls make graves there you go people :D

[@AllRealitiesAreDreams]

a true skate legend! #RESPECT

[@MearaKat96]

Love it and I even saw a kickflip in there that was new lol

[@kimmykiddO]

he is the napoleon dynamite of this skate video :)

[@PARTYGOKU]

Neen Williams before weed LOL

[@SevenFootPelican]

He's all about his heelflips

[@GeraltOfRivia99]

when did this video first come out? seems longer than 2012. man this guy reminds me of my highschool days back in 1998-2002 it was awsome being younger and actually being skinnier where you could pop tricks and float through the air without this damn gravity bringing you down now. those times were great skating around town with your friends. this guy reminds me of the 90s so much even if this was shot after that

[@jamalydude]

2003

[@pavelskitime]

What Is the second song called

[@jamalydude]

Pavel Korzun pretty girls make graves - something bigger something brighter

[@ClownForAllAges]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! NEEN IS SO CUTE AS WELL

[@ssonicdeafmonkey]

Baby Neen Before Cheekssss

[@3shuv755]

nothing like the midwest crust

[@1579dro]

I just watched his trip essentials video and hes so young in here!

[@LaWLF4iL]

2:50 that spot was GOLD

[@Lidderhossen19]

cant wait for new deathwish video neen's part is gonna be heavy

[@rhinolamf4662]

His style has gotten so much smoother. There's a lot of crazy shit in this clip, but I wouldn't remember this part if I hadn't seen his recently footy.

[@justinmechanic17]

Miss skating 31st street with ya bro. Its pops from Chicago.

[@mushlove6933]

i love the story of "pro skaters" because they are always so inspiring. and we really aren't far from being "pro" we just need to try end commit.

[@andrewtricking]

He really went from Eugene 🥸 to Neen 😈💪

[@TKSkateClips]

2003? Its crazy to see people killing spots around where I live before I even knew what skatebaording was. So awesome. One of my fav vids.

[@jalonzo310]

Neen is like the Pharrell Williams of the skate game. He's a down to earth humble all around good dude and he cares about his fans. You can tell he is happy doing what he does for a living.

[@jacobstewart3720]

And they both got great skin and don’t age

[@jamekididdleshmiddle]

daaaamn he was killing it back then

[@812skatetreflip]

1:51 line at Columbus HighSchool was so fire 🔥

[@blogafonte]

this came out in 2003

[@NuggetPirate]

5:00, probably the cleanest kickflip i've ever seen!

[@julianballantyne9931]

There's Waldo at 5:10

[@FUNKSEASON-]

2021?

[@ZombieNinja13]

It's kinda funny to see neen, such a cool guy, throw down some serious rage.

[@taylorriley2482]

Sickest looking heels even back then

[@_Ocot]

Eric Andre + Skateboarding = Young Neen Williams

[@smiauu]

its crazy to see his style after all aint fake

[@KillFeed669]

Look how cool he was before he turned into a stoner.

[@KillFeed669]

***** Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with smokin some weed, just sayin don't turn into a brain dead moron.

[@switchbackheel3504]

***** I used to be that way, and I can say that its way more fullfilling moderately smoking than doing it everyday.

[@KillFeed669]

SwitchTYBG I agree.

[@ScumbagWhore]

he smoked weed at this time too, he just grew out his hair to dreads is the only difference. hes still heavy af

[@KillFeed669]

Scumbag Whore Weed really has nothing to do with it, he also drinks as-well. I really don't want to diss him because he could be a cool guy. He just seems kinda dickish in some interviews I have seen him in.

[@mikemocapaldi15]

What are these old school killer songs does anyone know them would be nice if some would know them :D

[@rustywilliams9044]

Because I Got High: Afroman

[@sprainedchakra8417]

at 4:20 im pretty sure thats the Wells Fargo in downtown Milwaukee. Which is fuckin dope

[@bigbrenis4582]

That Nollie to varial heel regular and switch tho 🤯🤯

[@EDCsteals]

Yeah only wish he kept up with better variety of tricks as his career went on. I can’t find any been footage in the last 8 years with any switch, nollie or kickflip variations. It’s like once he got that “heelflip god” title he just coasted on that and stopped bothering to learn new tricks

[@Philosfromhtx]

This is hardcore.

[@meowstreetnigs]

I know right? the shoes for skateboarding have evolved so much.

[@jccccc4065]

hes from chicago, saw his once, good to see people from the chi coming up

[@TechMechMen]

The way he said "Hate you!" was kinda cute.

[@AlexWolstencroft]

4:34 BEASTLY

[@MrFunky108]

This is awesome

[@imetmikemo182]

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN 3:58 TO ME LIKE WTF?!??!?!

[@officialkampayn7586]

lmao suppose to be a blunt i guess but you know, shit happens

The intro is Neen Williams, before he started smoking weed.

[@malaleche240]

and awesome style too.

[@teenmoivemaker1]

[@edhpastimes7325]

second song is " rain drops falling on my head"

[@DeionSkates]

Neen Williams started his tour 4 months before I started skateboarding amateur

[@skatealldayist1]

He looks like Napoleon dynamite ..

[@RickDrift]

I knew I wasn't the first to think that

[@lJ0aquin]

¿Neerd Williams?

[@TheBitty20004]

0:01-1:45 my skate life summed up

[@sk8erdude4427]

he used to look like the nerdy kid in highschool and now he's this badass stoner guy with fucking awesome dreads.

[@staphinfection]

Dude, this clip is from 2003 when Neen was super young, he's a grown man now and still shreds, and makes way more cheddar than you doing what he loves: skateboarding.

[@liamhensley9409]

He is chill now☮✝🛐🌵🌿🌴🍃🌷

[@lonzobamin]

Still one of my favorite parts

[@zvotaisvfi8678]

SO GOOD!

[@astin365]

Neen killed it even in 2003

[@xXSESQUICENTENNIALXx]

[@GnarProdu]

Definately mellowed out since he found weed

[@skatersforlife574]

[@slavapiver8145]

0:43 hahah "fuck why'd I get on to a fucking boardslide FUCK FUCK FUCK.. FUCK!" hah gotta love Neen

[@MrShredify]

He seems so coherent in this.

[@Benzzz701]

@TheDango1212 Thats Why In The Deathwish Video He Does Buttery Ass Kickflips ?

[@tpudrocks1]

neen willias is super chill now, so its kinda weird seeing him flipout when he was younger

[@Mr.BalboaYT]

[@mariocarreno2541]

Hey what is the second song?

[@uhhhhhhhhh85]

[@gatordontplay94]
