If it Skateboarding was easy, everyone would do it! so true

[@user-bo5ff8sx5p]

And thats why people made scooters 😂

[@wizdantedubz6173]

it's true. NOTHING IS EASY! YOU CANNOT CHEAT IT

[@homeboyhernandez9615]

a real example of a easy sport is scootering, thats why everyone does it

[@YungMofex]

i watched this and got all pumped to go skate then i snapped my board after like 30 seconds

[@josezavala163]

thats part of skating

[@iamthethecancer]

Same thing happened to me today

[@abdullahibrahim185]

That's tuff

[@jessietherat1691]

My condolences~

[@alakae5913]

You tried a little to hard and reality had to hold you back from being Eric Koston 2

[@tonyphillips7382]

I watched this and I thought I could never do that I looked at my board and thought that I will never succeed but after listening and trying for 3 hours straight no breaks not even toilet brakes I can actually go pretty far with out falling of and this may seem rubbish to all you skaters that are struggling to do kick flips down two flights of stairs but to me this is a dream just to go pretty far with out falling is such an achievement and I couldn't of done it without this so I am so happy I found it thanks for the help I guess all you need a a little push and you can do what you want to achieve I will cary on going every day until I have hit success and if your still reading this remember "shoot for the moon because even if you miss you will be among the stars" -Walt Disney

[@radcasper]

I'm happy to have made a video that actually pushed you further in skateboarding, everyone has their different goals (Who cares if it's a curb or 10 stairs that you kickflip or switch flip) as long as you achieved them and are proud of yourself. Skating is about you, as long as you do what you think is cool on your board, you're doing it right.

[@tonyphillips7382]

Stephen Alvarado your video has truely helped me skate

[@davedavidson311]

If you worked for it you deserve it, I'm the sort of skater that can get around pretty clean but I struggle with big obstacles I tried to jump a stair set I flopped hit my head and my wrist but I got back up and kept trying I still haven't done it but I get closer and closer every waking second

[@user-bo5ff8sx5p]

Ive been there man! Keep rolling

[@brettmcdermott0524]

Same here I can't even do an Ollie but I keep trying...because I want to skate...

[@CianToland]

You know it's motivational when there are fails and you don't laugh, Great video

[@camplifemurda]

Cian Toland damn true

[@coldside2480]

This HELLA motivates me to not be afraid to fall...

[@radcasper]

Good, that's what I was aiming for

[@fantastichorse3269]

[@Theninjadeathhawk]

[@kylenewton4918]

[@kopfgefickt]

I fucking love skating at night, seriously. I want to live where I am rn because I can't skate at home

[@josuegomez7351]

Yes yes yes

[@Steve-xu4dk]

I don’t skate but every now and then life gets hard and this helps me get thru it sometimes

[@kopfgefickt]

Hi! Hi! Hi! Sooo pls read! I started skating a few months ago (maybe 6 or 7) and a few months after I learned how to Ollie but I always kinda sucked at it. Because of my shitty depression everything I'm motivated about and love doing gets ... I don't know... I just loose the ability to enjoy it. So I quit skateboarding for the next 2 or 3 months. I started skating again yesterday and I was waaaaay better with my ollies now and I ollied up my first curb literally minutes ago. I'm so hyped and motivated rn, I really hope it will last. So what I'm trying to say is: if you just don't get the trick done, sometimes it really helps if you just take a break. Because I did and when I came back to skating I was happy about that the fact that I could still do an Ollie at all after all these months. It didn't matter how good they were. I just had fun and I'm pretty sure that's why I could do it now. Because I didn't think that I HAD to get it by the next try. So yeah. Sorry for bothering you, thanks for reading. Here, a cookie for your patience🍪

[@christopherlarsen4996]

this video motivated me to learn my first kickflip. it was hard but i kept trying.

[@connorbrien5626]

I got back on my board after I broke my wrist because of this...thank you so much for uploading, I watch this every time before I skate now

[@javier96fstr]

New trick, new pain. Just stand up.

[@ChristianBrownie]

Damn man i used to come here to get motivation, all these years have been great, even though im young no one of my mates still skating, they all quit, we moved to different cities, now i skate alone and i use to watch our skate videos and i can feel what once i felt, i can give you an advice: never stop chasing your dreams and take care pf your friends, enjoy your life and enjoy the moment because you never know when is it going to be the last time, skate or die my dudes, peace!❤

[@autumn4390]

I have chronic depression and on my days off (the days where I dont have to go to work or university to make my life better, or work to survive) I find it very difficult to leave the house. Skateboarding makes it a bit easier. Most days I skate to work, or university to help me leave the house. There is no other feeling like skateboarding. It's 4:30pm and I've been trying to leave the house since 9am. I'm going out for a skate. Thanks for making this video :)

[@AlexDiggs]

i feel you for you homie, sometimes all it takes is a 5 minute skate around the block. life knocks you down too but its not about how hard you slam, its having the balls to try again..

[@AlexDiaz-dq4jo]

I learned half cab board slides after watching this, and after that i learned inward heel over the hip and flat i felt so proud!

[@AlexDiaz-dq4jo]

Kazuya Mirazashi thank you so much man!

[@flootyy1746]

Gnarly dude! Those kind of days are the ones that stay forever in your head!

[@AlexDiaz-dq4jo]

SOGGY NUTZ​ thanks so much man!

[@sassy2832]

[@saucyace7586]

Last week I took a hard slam dropping in for the first time and I haven’t skated since that day. Now i know I have to go through that pain to get to my dream and it’s not gonna be easy. Thanks man this video really inspired me!

[@AwesomeSause360]

[@radcasper]

Yeah haha at the time I really liked his skating and being able to get rid of the whole mind game with skateboarding.

[@orgeskastrati6719]

This Guy a Legend

[@WestFPV]

[@sadmultifandom9838]

[@KauzyK]

[@SataniaMcDowel]

[@mando3107]

If you think it’s going to be easy, If you think you’re just going to get that business started without any trials or tribulations, forget about it! Don’t even try to be successful, it’s a wrap! It’s not going to be easy! But I want you to feel that pain going through your body and as pain leaves your body, guess what’s going to take its place? SUCCESS! And so you gotta change your mindset. We gotta stop looking at pain as if it’s something negative. If it was easy, everybody would do it. NO PAIN, NO GAIN! But I guarantee you if you can outlast pain; if you can get through that pain; if you can get through that discomfort. If you can outlast that discomfort, I guarantee you, on the other side of it is success. All roads to success have to go down the road of pain. I told you before, if it was easy, everybody would do it! You keep talking about your mistakes, and you keep talking about the past, you keep talking about your trials, and you keep talking about your situation; And I want you to know that everybody that’s ever been great-everybody… has had an obstacle to overcome; they had a barrier that they had to climb. There is no individual who’s ever reached success and they didn’t have to go through an obstacle or a barrier to get there. Listen to me very closely; Sometimes, it’s going to be hard. Sometimes you’re going to look all around you and nowhere do you see success; nowhere do you see anything that remotely looks like success. But you gotta embrace the faith. You gotta believe that although it’s not happening right now, if you keep pressing, if you keep pushing, guess what? One day is going to be your day. It only takes one extra pushup; It only takes one extra mile; It only takes one extra grade; It only takes one extra effort; It only takes one extra something to get you were you’re trying to get to. And the goal is you gotta go a little further than the person who’s trying to get what you’re trying to get. You can’t go around it; You can’t go under it; You can’t go over it; The only way you can get to it is THROUGH IT! You gotta be able to see it and believe it that when there is no evidence around you, when you got pain in your life; when you’re tired and you feel like giving up and you feel like quitting; when you look around you don’t see anything that looks like success; you gotta embrace the faith and believe that one day is going to be my day! Because one day can’t be your day if you give up. If you quit… If you quit, no day will ever be your day! Every single day when you wake up you gotta give it all you got. You gotta give it 120%. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that this is year is going to be better than last year if you’re still making excuses. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES! You cannot cheat success!

[@contrabandskateco4845]

[@gemmeix]

wanna go skateboarding now but i am ill and my board is shitty, my parents say that it's a waste of money and i could buy cool clothes instead of new skateboard. but i am not like other girls, yes, i am girly, but i think i found my passion and nobody can stop me from doing it

[@SataniaMcDowel]

go for it, follow what you love/passion for.

[@cumbianarcos8253]

do! skatboarding isnt a sport. its freedom.

[@jefftompson3368]

Tell your parents their holding you back from success

[@christopherduclos9319]

uchiki Go whoop some

[@autumn4390]

I'm 25 and I still skate. Do you and follow your dreams. People that tell you NOT to do something, do so only out of jealousy for holding back in their own life. Don't let other people's fears run your life. Peace
