That was a great watch. Thanks for uploading, and may the Lord keep Nicky on his board for many more years to come!

[@friscotecsk8s119]

I always perceived Nicky Guerrero as an extremely gifted skateboarder. That was enough for me to call him hero. With tears in my eyes I see him as a human, vulnerable but with God-tier courage. Thanks for this inspiring documentary on the beloved guroman68!

[@humstudios1595]

Greetings from USA…this video made me smile - Nicky is such a great skateboarder. I did not know he had been injured but, I am super stoked to see him back on the board and still going strong. Thankyou for making and sharing this with us!

[@SledFrog198]

One of my all-time favorites.

[@longbeachlundsXIII]

Very dope. I'll be 54 this year. Still sk810

[@jayfunk5988]

The board with the face was a powell classic. Nicky was always a stylish,rad dude!

[@powellperalta]

Yes Nicky! Happy Birthday

[@Skate-Agent]

One of the kindest and most talented person I know!!! I always looked forward to seeing and talking to him at Vans Pool Party every year.

[@Surfmus]

Sad situation we live nowadays, where the kid was more interested in Nicky been a KZbinr than a pro skater. So for that kid to be a pro skater you have to be a KZbinr first. He needs to learn the history before skating. I think with other sport every basketball, or baseball player will know who Michael Jordan is or Babe Ruth.

[@BobWeaver3000]

get it Nicky!!!! love from USA

[@giannetto1000]

Saw this guy in the summer of 1992 riding a big halfpipe in front of the sea in Trieste-Italy,along with Bucky Lasek and Tony Hawk...awesome memories!

[@skulleagletartat]

[@SuperEarther]

wow what a touching documentary that i can relate to on a personal level because i had a bad fall and i have a metal hip, haven't had the courage to get back on my board since :( it takes alot of courage to do what nicky did. i can only praise this man for what he has accomplished

[@Philectro]

[@siker78]

He had no concept of what a pro skateboarder was

[@donlipshootings7434]

one of my all time favorits. such a cool dude.i was happy to skate with him in Colongne on the old School Jam. Keep on pushing master.

[@petopeti8670]

True motivaltion here. Keep rolling Nicky.You are a Legend🤝

[@sonnyrico]

When you skateboard you always have a family, some times a dysfunctional one but theres always someone to be there for you

[@Boxknife_flat]

Not true

[@nigelgeiger6020]

Been true for me and I’ve been moving my entire life. Never had a stable friend group for long but have always made connections through skating and music. True for many.

[@user-ni6ep9oh9p]

[@Skater_437]

Happy birthday

[@JamesBond-py8xs]

I did the same thing and somehow didn't yell when it happened but I knew I couldn't get up. Luckily it was at a park and two guys helped me out but I should have just waited for the parametics instead. They got me out of the bowl and I felt off balance, so my foot came down and that's when shit went from bad to worse and I yelled so loud as I collapsed and looked up to see blood coming thru my sock and I just layed back down thinking..well this isn't good as the bone went thru my skin. That pretty much ended things for me and I was left one plate, one screw, and nerve damage that's never gone away. Sucks because three years later three of my toes always feel like they're tapped together now. Guess it was only a matter of time though now being 52. I'm hoping to get in shape so I can get back on the board again like Nicky here, but if it doesn't happen, then I had fun while it lasted

[@amadeoquilici242]

Very cool to see this. I was waiting for him to do that sick foot plant from back in the day. Did anyone else catch that Zorlac Pus Head mounted to his wall?

[@user-vl9dj1so5j]

[@thepeterchannel3230]

never heard of him. . Oh . Conflicting information given here. The thumbnail says " 46 years of skateboarding" but the title says "47 years of skateboarding" (?) Which is it ; 46 or 47 ?

[@padillaj974]

I'm 49, I stopped skating for 27 years ;skate or die

[@comesect]

Smoking what? Lol killer zorlac board on the wall there.

[@matthazelton4142]

Title at the beginning is 46 years is this a year old?

Yeah.

[@hed1fsu]

You think, wanting to skateboard for longer in life, would be a valid reason for residency in a country? Cuz in America, even with the prices we pay, our healthcare is atrocious. Money grabbers.
