Raising Helseth. Skateboarding Saved my Life

[@SkateGirlAndrea]

Me too, life has been hard. Which has culminated for a long time in me not being able to go outside because of anxiety, depression and more. I live indoors all the time with blinds closed. The only thing that gets me out right now is skateboarding. :)

[@ImBlackIvy]

Skate Girl keep fighting sister

[@samxdabell5997]

Skate Girl i see you everywhere

[@FyMp916]

You can't be a pussy your whole life get out and live

[@FyMp916]

And remember when you start to feel sad, nobody gives a fuck and quit being a little bitch.. do you know why you're able to go out and skateboard is cuz you finally quit thinking about yourself and all your insecurities and you're only able to focus in the now because if you don't you'll eat shit and hurt yourself. If you want to be a true skater you have to remember you cannot care what other people think we don't live like that.

[@lindatlkka4871]

[@shnickee2021]

Linda Tlkka dude I know him in like one of his friends

[@russellweber655]

I took my son to Derby Park when he was young. The concrete wasn't smooth like it is now. We thought how could anyone skate it, Then this guy showed up. He would do a wind up starting at the bottom end and then when he got done coming up the snake run he popped up backwards did a 50-50 to board slide on the s shaped curb making a rat a tat sound. It was so badass.

[@doncarlo5]

sad story .... but great story .... keep skateboarding

[@SkidmarkMag]

[@doncarlo5]

+Skidmark ... I will, thanks.... god bless you guys

[@El_krux]

Nice storytelling and cool dude to share his story with us. Respect.

[@ibefishy1]

Casey was there last weekend when we stopped by. The guy shreds. Totally laid back and a nice guy. We had young kids with us and he would watch out for them and give them some encouragement..

[@oisinosborne2852]

Wow crazy story, when ever I feel live is getting stressful I just stick on some tunes and skate when its raining I just meditate which is also a great way to relieve stress.

[@johnherron6216]

Love everything about this video, music, skater and life lessons. I'm forty six yrs old, still pushing since 10yrs old and still learning about life. It's about what you take from it not what it takes from you. Mad respect

[@ZenStarwalker]

Very touching and inspiring

[@nixcanpor810]

borderline depression, mid life crisis, introvert, anxiety. All of a sudden I decided to buy a skateboard. Unfortunately I did something that caused accident at the skatepark, needing surgery. So then I tried rollerblade, kept falling. Too scary as my back was still healing. Got a bmx instead and it has been good for 6 years now. I still want to get a skateboard again one day. The nice thing about making friends with skateboarders/bladers/bmxers, is they just don't care that you're different. I feel accepted without all that society norm bullshit.

[@Thordur94]

Casey, I have found your story very inspirational! I am going to share it on my facebook, try and share the word. Skateboarding in my opinion is a great outlet in general. Keep on doing what you are doing and live life to the fullest.

[@jimdor8353]

skating has kept me away from the drink and drugs . yeh i use to drink alot all times of the day and at work, i dabbled in drugs but always went back to that wooden toy that gives me joy and always will... why would you want to mess this one life you get up? so get out there and skate cuz one day you wont able to cuz death comes ripping.. peace

[@techsticles]

This is intense man, great documentary of this iconic skater.

[@JoeMaxFpv]

Good for you my friend. I've battled addiction most of my life. Skateboarding was a huge part until injury took it away. Thank god I have found fpv freestyle now. It's taken that place I needed in my life. A creative positive outlet. Life still sucks and hits you every time you turn around. But keep that one thing that makes us suck less and latch on. Stay strong my friend. Your not alone. Many of us have been dealt lousy hands. And hearing your story makes us feel less alone.

[@fatrat137]

That was awesome

[@PatrickWoerner]

Wow, really breathtaking, truly inspiring person

[@sbollin4321]

I saw this guy skating the new Derby the day I happened through there. The new concrete is awesome and though he seemed sketch at first glance he ripped the place apart like he lived there, everyday, like he does.

[@Breeder333]

I think there is a story like this at every skate park in America. Skating is a savior for many

[@STAR-cw7bz]

Well done man you have taught yourself A real Talent in Skating --

[@osorissalgado3831]

I like this dude.I can relate.I'm a 34 yr old skater who had an alcohol and drug problem and went to jail in the past and a bunch of b.s.Skating,guitar and comics helped me through shit.This is a real dude.A true skater.I give him respect.

[@masonhall5200]

[@Mr3andrew3]

I've been hitting Derby Park on and off since high-school '89 in Sac. I've slept there a couple of times too. The locals make the lines look so easy- S.C. def has it's own style... Head up Casey, show the world what's on your neck, in your heart, and under your feet. Best, *A.

[@ikoshin70]

Much respect

[@samilkvriezen2443]

Skateboarding has saved my life aswell. I’m struggling with some heavy depression and anxiety. After my gf died infront of my eyes last year, everything became dark. After my first suicide attempt I realized that I needed to change something. I remember her last words were: „do what you love“. So I decided to stop the drugs. I used to skate in my teenage years. Relearning everything now since like 4-5months. I have also learnt some new tricks. Never was that happy since her death. For me skateboarding is better then any therapy. Last week a skater at my local park asked me if I’m fine. I answered „yeah“ but tbh I was depressed and sad af that day. When I did a break to smoke a cig the dude came to me. He was like „let me know if you want to talk“. We had like a 30min conversation which ended in a game of skate. That’s whats skateboarding is about. Thanks for this vid btw I feel ya.

[@Stallagmite]

He's his own no doubt, but sure reminiscent of Mike V and that beautiful raw power style...

[@thematthewpatrickshow9598]

We live in a broken world that needs Jesus.

[@636f]

skating helped me kick my heroin habit

[@toynazi]

This is skateboarding! Not doing it all for getting sponsors. Or because you get a big check from a board or shoe company!

[@samoketis]

haha like there's that many of them, jealous much

[@mosk8s52]

gotta get money to survive tho , my grades are shitty af and i am in junior high with depression , i could have killed myself but the only thing that prevents me is the urge of learning new tricks and the feeling of chilling with my squad

[@LickyMyNippy]

Cole Brown watch ya mouth.

[@Detroitgravy]

[@SilverWalker84]

I love the barebones mentality. Just a board and the world. Anyway that you can express yourself is a beautiful thing. Guitar saved my life when I had no other way to express my emotions

[@iTzThis]

Who would ever dislike this story? Even Spudbud wouldnt do that.

[@mattygmtg9755]

what is the song from the beggining of the video, Amazing and inspiring video btw.

[@prozac729]

I like Casey very much, his skating style is aggressive, are a really 100% skateboarder. he seems like a man of few words, introverted but very nice and sociable if you know him deeply. I really liked this series about his life. Who is the song by and what is the name of the song at the very beginning of the video?

[@digital_nobody]

it's not about pops and flips, it's about enjoying that time on your board!

[@p1rz666]

This dude is gnarly

[@noejafetgarciagarza486]
