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.
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
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
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
+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.
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.
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.
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
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
Damn Coke Taylor and the Viking 8 stair in this video those are some local spots around the suburbs of Chicago I never knew that so many people hAve been to them though
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.
met him recently and he was one of the only two guys at the demo that cared to meet the kids it seemed, him and theotis. all around good dudes.

Christian Oliver
theotis is the kindest person in skateboarding

Is like the type of guy that was suposed to be a nerd but he turned out to be rad
Cole Brown bro??
@@colebrown8293 you just mad cause you can’t skate like this

@@debomb721 😂
Napoleon Dynamite?
He reminds of Zack Wallin from that 90's photo with the wiener dog on enjoi's site
Fax
Neenpoleon Dynamite.
i died when he started stomping the bush
his style and skating has evolved so much
@Robert M fucking hater
That wrist isnt broken thats his YU-GI-OH! playing hand
dude youre insane
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
Hahaha I just love how his friend gives the board a little kick XD
And then he discovered weed...
+Supreme Master EXACTLY what i was thinking
he is sober now
and then he discovered acai bowls
Hey,at least he's taking care of himself now
Theres nothing wrong with smoking weed you just need to balance it with your life
Neen was a angry little guy.. He's changed so much. It's very inspirational.
I gotta be honest neen looks like napoleon dynamite skateboarding........
thank god neen started smoking weed
Thank god he got dreads
word
Frank shut your ass up he trying to be healthy
Frank not a vegan
seems like logic a bit
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

Lmao it’s funny how he’s so chill now
looking back at how he use to skate its amazing how good he is now love his heel flips
Hes gotten so chill over the years
20 years is crazy
5:03 found Waldo
lol the people around him weren’t true friends if they didn’t pull him aside and tell him about that shirt
neen is a good skater but dam he looks like super geek
i agree
Christopher Matson weed.
fiddlesticks217 lol

+scott davies thats neen before weed XD
Weed turned him from David Gravette to the Neen we know and love today
Neens the MAN.
reminds me of napolean dynamite
That's what I said
1:44 - "Close my eyes, and swallow..." O_O
I keep watchin this vid. its so dope. real inspiration right here
vote for pedro just messin he was on the come up tho! look how good neen is now
pedro for president
pedro offers protection
Damn.. this fool hella reminds of steve Olson. Especially in fulfill the dream. The shortys shirt. wrist brace. Fro. Glasses. Shit takes me back.
Eric Carrillo was neen on shorty's? ?
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.
Steve Olson ? Pretty sure you mean Alex Olson
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.
And they both got great skin and don’t age
he is the napoleon dynamite of this skate video :)
The second song is "Something bigger, Something brighter" By Pretty girls make graves there you go people :D
I remember watching this when it first came out. Wow, nostalgia
napoleon dynamite?
nothing like the midwest crust
Thank you for 🎁!!!:)
I know right? the shoes for skateboarding have evolved so much.
its crazy to see his style after all aint fake
He really went from Eugene 🥸 to Neen 😈💪
neen willias is super chill now, so its kinda weird seeing him flipout when he was younger
Wow he's so calm
Eric Andre + Skateboarding = Young Neen Williams
this came out in 2003
2021?
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.
The intro is Neen Williams, before he started smoking weed.
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.
That Nollie to varial heel regular and switch tho 🤯🤯
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
Neen Williams before weed LOL
I just watched his trip essentials video and hes so young in here!
Definately mellowed out since he found weed
It's kinda funny to see neen, such a cool guy, throw down some serious rage.
He's all about his heelflips
a true skate legend! #RESPECT
The way he said "Hate you!" was kinda cute.
dread locks are magic
cant wait for new deathwish video neen's part is gonna be heavy
Neen Williams started his tour 4 months before I started skateboarding amateur
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
2003
He is chill now☮✝🛐🌵🌿🌴🍃🌷
he used to look like the nerdy kid in highschool and now he's this badass stoner guy with fucking awesome dreads.
daaaamn he was killing it back then
5:00, probably the cleanest kickflip i've ever seen!
¿Neerd Williams?
damn... I didnt know Napoleon Dynamite could skate like that!
coolest shoes eva
so much swag.
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.
Sickest looking heels even back then
hes from chicago, saw his once, good to see people from the chi coming up
What Is the second song called
Pavel Korzun pretty girls make graves - something bigger something brighter
Miss skating 31st street with ya bro. Its pops from Chicago.
Something Bigger, Something Brighter by Pretty Girls Make Graves.
2nd song = Pretty Girls Make Graves - "Something Bigger, Something Brighter"
Amazing
he went from angry and curly hair to chill and 20 foot dreadlocks
He seems so coherent in this.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! NEEN IS SO CUTE AS WELL
This was him at 17 18 after 4 years of skating
dude drags his hands more than anyone, ever
Napoleon Dynamite of skateboarding
1:51 line at Columbus HighSchool was so fire 🔥
Damn Coke Taylor and the Viking 8 stair in this video those are some local spots around the suburbs of Chicago I never knew that so many people hAve been to them though
2:50 that spot was GOLD
Cual es la primera canción que suena?
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.
tell me please name of the first song ??
Neen killed it even in 2003
is that last stair set in Cincinnati?
second song is " rain drops falling on my head"
Still one of my favorite parts
Wow.....how people change
LOL when he stomped the bush.

He may be the coolest person named Eugene
