Big thanks to The Rubin Report for letting me use the material!
Dr. Peterson's new book is available for pre-order:
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: amzn.to/2yvJf9L
The Rubin Report has conducted multiple interviews with Dr. Peterson which are in my opinion one of the better if not the best out there. They also featured big names like Sam Harris, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ben Shapiro.

saw this a while ago, and just recently became very interested in everything Jordan Peterson, now realizing that he was the one who made this video. Life is good and so is this human

John hill only w 65 likes?
Yooo my mans!
Bruh ur in every comment section 🤣
Love ur content tho
Seinfeld had a similar point of view. He said something like, 'when I see those skateboarders out there falling and getting back up I think, those kids are gonna be okay.'
Alexander Jay this reminds me when I fell nasty in front of traffic a few times off my board. It was embarrassing for a second but it made me stronger
We fall down but we get up!
@@killzone2FTw547we always get up 🙏
Leave those damn kids alone!
In other words, the opposite of the Baby Boomer approach to parenting.
Always watch the hands.
Hey, teacher!
Crypto 314 LEAVE THE KID ALONE!!!!!
Teachers! Leave those kids alone!
he just gets cooler and cooler
YUH
Sick comment
Xx Yy yeah I've seen this guy on Death Grips vids too
I appreciate this because I skated when I was younger and I still think adults under appreciate the skill skateboarding takes
This. So tough on you physically and mentally.
or, perhaps, they just don't care.
@@georgecostanza9978 true
I am 14 always wanted to skatboard, but to be good, you gotta break a bone at least once
@@notoriusdrifter40 not true, some really good skaters have never broken a bone before. You will definitely face to risk of injury, and get hurt sometimes, but you don’t have to break bones to be good lol
I grew up in a small town. Skateboarded every single day. And was harrassed every single day by either the cops or someone who thought I was a degenerate. All I cared about was getting better. Pushing myself. Deep down I always knew those people were in the wrong for being so mean but it still made me feel terrible.
In a small town you want to be seen as a good kid. You want people to see you for who you truely are, but they would judge you for wanting to skateboard bc it wasnt the norm. Everyone knows everyone so it makes it hard when youre giving a reputation you dont deserve.
I left that small town. I live a happy, fulfilling life still skateboarding everyday. That small town is now rampant with drugs. Destroying the families of the people that gave me that label so long ago. The same cops are stuck in their dead end positions where they never get a chance at promotion. Getting fatter and older. Now that im an adult i realized it was better i didnt become part of that community. Not having that sense of belonging caused me to go out into the world and find it. And i had the courage to do so bc of skateboarding.

Keep rolling!!!!!!
Well said, but can you 360 flip? XD

We must be from the same town.
Skateboarding is all about fighting fear yourself; expanding your comfort zone. Some people think that skaters are just jumping down a 10 stair set with reckless abandonment of their common sense, but nobody doing that hasn't built their way up from rolling off of a curb. Even stepping on the board for the first time, falling backwards, slamming awkwardly only to get up ignore your fears and balance on the board a little bit better the next time is a test of courage. You can build from there, slowly becoming comfortable with harder, physically riskier things, but you'll never be completely fearless when you're truly challenging yourself.
Justin Tate damn exactly
This is why skating is a good teacher for life lessons as well ; it’s a trip
🤍
As being a skater since 8 year old and now 26 (no longer skating as much) I can totally relate with what dr. Peterson is saying when it comes to being more competent, risk taking and a sense of risk which I can say helped me in my life enormously!

Christian Noffra Schools, establishments, businesses, city parks... these places are not against kids experiencing masculinity or becoming man or being courageous or anything like that.. it's not some philosophical conspiracy . Kids are banned from skateboarding places because of our lawsuit Society we live in where every little thing that happens to us we find some way to sue somebody else... schools and businesses that banned skateboarding on their property are just trying to cover their own fucking ass because of how retarded they know at least half the kids parents are. It doesn't take an intellectual or a professor to realize this.... or at least it shouldn't.
marc scott I'm going to go on a limb and say majority of skaters who are harmed don't do anything... I mean if there is a serious injury/a younger kid getting hurt I could see parents wanting to sue, but most kids don't try shit that will destroy them or even do street skating in the first place lol, and again I haven't heard of a heavily Injured skater taking legal action against the spot he skates. Also that just doesn't happen at a regular basis I believe. I think what Peterson is trying to promote is the dissipation of that paranoia of legal action. But at the same time how do you do that because there definitely are a few cases where people probably will sue... Idk I think this is a complex topic and I'm not trying to go in depth/show malice I just read your comment and felt like responding with my two cents. :-)
Liam Pannell I get what you're saying. But here's the thing When I used to skate as a teenager me and my friends would break bones and hurt ourselves all the time. It's actually really easy to hurt yourself especially when you suck and your trying to do cool shit that you see in skateboarding videos. And it's definitely not the kids that Sue these establishments and places it's the parents. literally people try to sue businesses for any possible way they can get a dime for nothing. I just watched a video on tons of people in class action lawsuits suing fucking tons of restaurants for misleading calorie information.. a lady sued Subway and won because she bought a foot long and it was 11 in..... It's really apparent that we are living in some sort of weird sue-happy Society where if someone sees an opening where they can potentially get a lot of money at a corporation's expense by blaming them for anything bad that happens to them they will jump on it. And I'm not saying intelligent or honorable good people like many of us are and I'm sure you are as well. I guess plain and simple there's just a lot of shity people out there.... and a lot of them are parents... and so when their kids are skateboarding at the mall and there's no signs that say "no skateboarding" and the kid breaks his ankle... I'm sure there is a huge percentage of people who would try to sue the mall. All this to say... has nothing to do with masculinity or trying to restrict any sort of upbringing or risk-taking or anything like that.. honestly I watched the video so long ago I don't even remember exactly what Jordan Peterson said. I agree with him on a lot of stuff....to be honest I like the dude. But sometimes he reads really far into things trying to find some sort of existential or really deep meaning behind something that's blatantly very simple.
Let the boys be boys
Slam, da duh duh, da duh duh
don't automatically assume skateboarding is masculine
Jim Gantz lmao
Can girls be girls?
Best comment on here.
Holy shit he works on fucking dragon slayer street, if anything else the sheer meme synchronicity should show the importance of this man.
THE MEMES HAVE ALIGNED
It's even better if you understand the symbolism in the myth
The thumbnail cut children cause there was no space so it read 'Do Not Bother Skateboarding' lol

Point Curation thank you
i read it as 'do not bother skateboarding, children'
im an idiot
Thats what I thought . . started thinking I,d been on a false path , back in the day with my skateboarding
Yeah I was gonna rage against Dr. Peterson but soon found out otherwise haha.
Ma nigga
I ain't wearing no bloody protection!
Nigga?!
I am 100% on board w this man now....
GARBAGE RAPS i see what you did there.
HAAAAAA
Ba dum tiss
This is awesome. I discovered Mr. Peterson about 2 month ago and can't stop watching his lectures. I'm also a skater for nearly 20 years and into martial arts for almost 9. And this genius can articulate the essence of everything those activities have done to me so effortless it's almost frightening.
AN71H3RO cheers
kook
I practice MMA. I agree 100%. It's an amazing feeling to square up with somebody, even just sparring or drills but especially an actual fight.
AN71H3RO Almost frightening haha what?
Agreed
If you practice doing things in the face of possible danger as a child, you become almost fearless as an adult with a lot of things (Business, dating etc...)
Nicholas King what if they’re making kids incompetent by over-protesting them on purpose 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I feel like this is true. When I was a kid, I had no inhibitions, worries, or fears, I just said and did whatever I wanted. My mother spent years telling me "Don't do that you could hurt yourself" and constantly making me worry. I guess it gave me the idea of "I shouldn't do anything so I don't get hurt". Now I'm 21 and I'm afraid of taking risks, talking to new people, and even leaving the house. I swear to God when I have children that I won't raise them to be afraid of the world.
Janet Kazarowski Furthermore, now you're 21 and you have an anime profile picture
My mom is an anxious person, I think it rubbed off on me because I've been keeping it safe all my life...
Samsung Shoebrain you have a problem with that apparently, do describe in explicit detail why anime shouldn't be consumed by adults.
I remember when I was a teenager my friends and I were skating at a local church at night. A guy comes out from the church and we started walking away because we assumed he'd tell us to leave, but instead he asked if we wanted the lights on in the parking lot. We were all surprised and stayed there skating all night until my friend could hit a gap. Probably the only guy we came across when skating that didn't tell us to leave or try to pick a fight with us.
My son was really into skateboarding as a pre teen .... it seemed to me that he was into anything that was dangerous - stunts of all and any kind ... I use to think if this kid survives being 15 it will be a miracle .. he did survive, he still kind of does this stuff - he loves to snowboard in the mountains and do sky diving - I wanted to put him in a bubble, really I did ... of course he was having none of that, I think he was about 18 when I realized how stupid that was -- that men have to do something worth while - they can not be coddled and protected - I remember watching some movie about guys jumping out of helicopters into the ocean to save people ... and I thought "thank God my son doesn't do anything like that" ... and then it hit me why do you not want your son to be a hero?? What good is living if you can not accept death? And the Bible quote came back to me "those who save their life will lose it and those who lose their life will save it"
I thank God everyday for my husband (may he rest in peace) ... you know because if I would have had my way ... I would have coddled my son to DEATH ... I think about single moms .... all these boys didn't stand a chance, with mommy putting them in a bubble - because that is what mothers do, they can not help it ... they need a dad to balance them.
I am not afraid, I was born to do this God bless you. Spoken like a great mother!
True but lesbian couples don't need a dad

This is a great comment!
I love this.

We don't need no education
@@davo1822 I upvoted dude dude's comment solely to counteract your appalling lack of chill
Thanks bro! Skating is not a crime
But apparently being masculine is
except it is.
I've thought the same thing about other ' masculine ' past times like motorcycle racing and boxing . Men need these dangerous challenges to test their limits and achieve goals . The fact that you might get killed or seriously injured gives you focus and a sense of hightened reality . I'm glad there's still such a thing as the Isle of Man TT and other dangerous sports .
Andy Nixon
Nah dude, people do those things because they think they're fun things to do, whether it be winning a boxing fight, riding around on a motorcycle, or just going fast in a race. For some the reason they find it fun is the risk of death.
It’s a trip how true it is
hearing jordan peterson say "boardslide down these rails" made me pick up my skateboard again after a ten year hiatus
As a Skater I can appreciate this a lot. Love Jordan.
Big THANKS to The Rubin Report, very generous to allow me doing this, I got a very kind response to my request. I remember Dr. Peterson saying that successful people are usually very generous and like to provide people with opportunity. I thought of that because the easiest and safest thing would be to just ignore the Email and I wouldn't even blame anyone for that.
The full interview (link in the description) is really intense and fresh, which is why I was extra happy to be able to showcase some highlights. Check out their Patreon, they have very interesting rewards:
www.patreon.com/rubinreport
LOL. The link left off the "children" part of the title. I looked at it. Then I looked at it again. I could NOT figure out why Jordan Peterson would take the strange position of not BOTHERING to skateboard. I had to see the video :)
Good on you for asking permission.
We all search for heroes.
czcams.com/video/S7BA-y4tinM/video.html
GetMeThere, I came here to make the same statement ( why does Jordan not want me skateboard ? )
Is it that people that are successful become generous over time, or that generous people become more successful over time, or some other variable causing people to be successful and generous?
I think Rodney Mullen or another old school pro skater once said 'I never worry about how the skater kids will end up in life'. Absolutely true

‘We’re gonna fight, where gonna win, where making skate a fucking threat again...’
Skateboarding made me a better, wiser, and more confident person then I was before I started skating. I started when I was 11, and I’m 26 now. Skateboarding shaped the man I am today, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m thankful God brought skateboarding into my life, and he knew I would need it to help me in many ways.
I feel compelled to state an observation: the way that the bottom of the carpet is parallel to the frame of the video is EXTREMELY SATISFYING.
skateboarders are some of the nicest, most real people I've ever met. even the most basic of skateboarding techniques requires an absurd amount of practice, yet you see these kids doing insanely difficult tricks
I skateboarded everyday for about 10 years and I completely agree. That was my initiation into manhood. It was also the only time I could get away from my parents and adults and be a kid and get into trouble and learn life lessons. Louis CK actually talks about this, he said something to the degree of kids who skateboard learn how to fall and get back up again and that's what life is, a series of painful fails where you have to get back up.
D'andre Chesterfield Same here, but I’m 35 and I still skate. Everything you said is true.
Jesus man this man needs to be president, or at least train someone to be president
Something came in the mail today trump is a piece of shit
He’s doing more than that. He’s teaching everyone to become their own perception of “god”.
*Roughly speaking*
LordTime Bomb There is a Alexander out there in the world who consider him his Aristotle. We all do.
Canada doesn't have a president.
skateboarding taught me how to socialize, how to take risks and how to be myself. Awesome insight, Mr. Peterson!
I’ve been skateboarding for 21 years, and this man is on point about everything. He gets it. What a guy...he even knows the names of tricks!
I'm getting old now, but I skated a lot back in my teens and early 20's. We frowned upon safety gear and helmets. The best of my friends went on to be pro, but died aged 23 from head trauma while skating. It was a terrible time, my whole group was devastated, and it sort of marked the point that our youth ended and we had to grow up. Now I'm torn between what advice to give kids, I guess I'd have to advise them to wear a helmet.
Damn, that's a tough situation
QuantumFrost I guess you need these moments in life, I mean now I never stress when small things go wrong, as I know what a real terrible situation is. I'm fed up of people getting all worked up over small events, words, like they never had to face a really tough situation. Holding your friends hand thinking your goodbyes, knowing they will switch the machine off in a few hours, that kinda puts things in perspective.
The Neo-Epicurean yeah, dang
I definitely agree that these days people get over worked with little things
Yea. Break a leg, fine. Smash your testicles, Okay. Crack a nose, no problem. But crack a head, that can be an ender. So helmet maybe for the dangerous stuff is best.
Imma be honest I have a helmet that I only wear around small children. Since they're so impressionable
As a skater it makes me so happy to hear this coming from him who is by far one of the wisest men alive!
"it's better than perfect". That describes what success on a skateboard feels like
My man! longtime skater and Peterson fan. This made my day. Never gonna forget the feeling of accomplishment after landing my first kickflip off some stairs.
Respect for this dude. As a skater myself it is good to see intellects seeing skateboarding in a positive way. Skateboarding is a serious sport and it teaches a lot such as teaching you to persist.
Skateboarding is the best thing i ever did, and still do.
It's not about being stupid, or looking cool, or being good at something, it's about actually loving what you do. I love to skateboard.
The fact that he said “boardslide” seals the deal for me. ✨✨✨👌🏽
LOL!! I got all my physical endurance from pushing myself to the limit, fell many times, however I started mastering techniques on how to fall, so the fall wouldn't break bones, or injure my head.
Cheri Sunday proper falling technique is the most important 😎
This is what people don’t understand, after you eat shit so many times you kinda learn how to fall so the next time yo my eat shit won’t be as bad. Just be consistent & don’t forget the techniques otherwise you’re fucked
Hey teacher leave those kids alone!
Finn Mertens soo cool song😎
One thing Peterson didn't mention is the persistence that skateboarding teaches you. It takes a LONG time to land and then master a trick. Skateboarding taught me to FAIL and THEN pick myself up and TRY AGAIN. Jordan Peterson gets it.
I’ve been skating for 14 years and I could never have said it so well your the man Peterson
HEY TEACHERS LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE.
Jordan's badass.
I love this man. This is why I skate, everything that it’s given to me it’s been by constantly challenging myself and my limitation, I’ve skated my whole life I’m glad someone understand why we skate. things like this always make me eager to skate or just kee uploading my vids. It’s just crazy how this always hits me perfect timing.
As a skater I think I can speak for all of us when I say this, skating gave me a confidence like no other, and every skater has a humility like no other because we know how difficult it is to even Ollie let alone the tricks we learn. So to hear Jordan Peterson defend us feels so validating. He gets it. Shred til’ your dead!
This whole thing where it's now the LAW that children must wear helmets and pads when skateboarding is absurd. If a parent wants their kid to skateboard like that, it's _their_ job to make it happen. Dragging in law enforcement is both lazy and overkill, quite apart from the issues Peterson raises here.
ChrisC it's the state raising your kids for you. It's the most secure easy thing a society can accept but it is also one of if not THE death blow to any culture.
Indeed. But the safest, easiest thing is very bad for the kids.
I have a memoir written by my great-aunt; my mother's aunt who was the youngest daughter of her grandfather from his first wife. (He was widowed and then remarried; my grandfather is from his second marriage.) She was married to a Presbyterian minister who was posted to a number of different congregations throughout eastern Canada at a time when much of it was very sparsely settled. At Millerton, NB (a Methodist church, but they weren't particular) living along the Miramichi River, she wrote of her alarm the first time she saw her children playing in it. It made her fearful for their safety -- but she didn't stop them, because she knew it would be worse (or impossible) to forbid them.
I agree, however I do understand having those laws at a public park
What about Tony Hawk? He wears a helmet and pads, and he’s probably the best ever.
Danial Khan he’s a vert skater. Most vert skaters already wear helmets and pads anyways. But skating handrails and stair sets is street skating, where most people don’t wear helmets.
The hero we need
This made Jordan’s Peterson even cooler and more respectable. Skaters for JP
48yo and still skating. fell. get up. sit. try again. yeah. when i fell i hurts more. need more time to get up. but it just how the whole life is. you still need to get up and try again.
If kids had the cognition of adults, the awareness of risks they wouldn't do half the things they do, and they'd be all the poorer for it.
katiemiaana did you even watch the video
katiemiaana this why i take time to be stupid
Bigger you are the harder you fall. Lol kids dont get hurt like older people do. But thats not what its about. Everyone has their talent and some talents have a risk attached. Doesnt mean you shouldnt do it
People make mistakes when they are kids so they avoid making the same mistake when they're adults. And when adults make mistakes, you bet it is going to be a whole lot more deadly than the mistakes kids make.
Well Then did you even read the full comment. "they'd be all the poorer for it"
I've skated basically my entire life and it's awesome to see Peterson recognize the effort we put into getting tricks (which by the way has made professional street skaters like Nyjah Houston a millionaire before he even turned 20)
Hey, I'm also a conservative skater! Been skating my entire life.
He’s the man.
Kek Your Privilege Conservative skaters unite 🐸
Wow, I just remembered this was the first ever video I watched of Jordan Peterson.
I love my board and love skateboarding. Depresses me how many people have such a lack of appreciation for a sport that I put a lot of time, work, and effort into. It's a hard and skillful sport.
Do not bother Mike Vallely. Who will get this?
Brian Myers hahahaha
if you bother mike v you might get the crap beat out of you
He seems pretty mellow these days
The wall. Pink Floyd.
...is the greatest album of all time.
I don't usually idolizes anyone outside of my father but Jordan Peterson your definitely one of my idols its good to hear someone actually honesty talk about the reality at hand with no bullshit so refreshing, especially for me I've spent so much time trying to be as much as a free thinker as possible and coming across your videos I'm still not able to find fault with it, thank you Jordan for spreading the truth, Come to Perth Australia I'd pay good money to see you talk live. I wish I could go to a class of yours that would be awesome. :)
Yes!!! I just wondered last night what Jordan peterson would think of skating and then randomly stumbled upon this. I knew he would approve lol.
We don't wear helmets or pads because they are uncomfortable and it's hard to skate with them on. I always wonder if Tony Hawk gets annoyed wearing his pads. Seems like he's always wearing pads.
abcdefg hijklmnop he primarily skates vert that's why he wears pads. If he's at his own home he tends to skate without them.
A helmet can save your life. You might not realize it unless you've had a terrible injury like I had.
On vert you need pads and a helmet. Pads are the main way you can slide down a ramp without skinning yourself, and falling on vert without a helmet could just straight up end your life
I've always warn a helmet, feels weird without one
I think he probably knows its good marketing. Parents would rather their kids use products endorsed by the guy always wearing a helmet rather than one of the jackass guys punching each other in the nuts.
This 5 minutes is why we all love Jordan Peterson (those of us that do love him). What I wouldn't give to sit beside him at the bar and shoot the shit over a few pints. Beautiful guy, that's all I can say about that. Roughly speaking.
Best feeling is landing a new trick you’ve been practicing for a while especially with people, everyone cheers and gets happy for u, a feeling u can’t recreate
It's builds confidence and it builds character to get back up and keep trying
this guys dope
You heard the man, Kevin. Leave those damn kids alone!
Perfectly said. Mr Peterson. I remmeber when i stood upon a ramp with my skates, that were not even for ramps. I went on small ones and saw others going for the big. I went on top and watched and was scared what happens, when i go down there is no going back. I went down and felt the nervosity and when i was at its end realized i mastered it, felt a big wave of aww and proudness. Soone it was booring and I went for higher ones.... And when you are snowboarding and have such a high speed that you cant allow any failure and you are on constant adrenaline and at the end of the slope when you start to realize that the big danger is over, you feel the pressure going off and a wave of satisfaction hits you. YOu constantly want more and you know its sometimes near insanity or stupidity but on the other hand if you master it you push new boundaries. I rly realize how much less scared i was as a kid, when i remember, back when i was 11. and now i wanna try it again i feel so scared that i hold back and think.... how could i ever done this. You stop taking the risks when you are older but because you did push your boundries at a younger age you rly know what your limits are and what you are capable off, which in a way makes you more secure in talking and approaching new things. if you take this away from boys they will be rly unsure of themselfs even more so, since there is still a lot of pressure and expectations of young men, and they will have a hard time to do descisions and maybe cause they never exprienced dangeerous limits with high reward, it will be their downfall cause they overcommit....
i thought it was "dont bother skateboarding" i was about to flip lol
I can boardslide handrails but I can't talk to girls. On a rail you eventually hit the ground and roll away but with girls I feel like I'm stuck on an endless slide.
John Paul unless you're lucky, it'll be a while before you meet the perfect lady for you. Until then, just have fun with women and don't take it too seriously. Women can smell desperation, and they love a man who doesn't give a shit about them. I know it's easier said than done, but you can change your mindset and not feel awkward around the ladies, things are much easier. Just make sure to stay the from away from the Crazy Ones.
You’ll find one. Don’t worry man, great things come to those who wait.
maybe u gay
John Paul get back up bud. Rejection/falling is part of the game. You got this
coty mcclung women love a man who doesn't give a shit about them? How old are you? 10? Hahahahaa
Wow! Just wow!
My best group of friends were my skateboard buddies. I was the youngest of the group at 12. Ages between 13 and 16 from all kinds of backrounds. We all encouraged each other to get better. I ventured out of my home town for the first time because they knew how to use the busses and made sure I got home alright. We went all day to weird seaside spots and skated until the last bus. I was extremely fit and healthy and days were filled with excitement, struggle and constantly trying to impress my friends.
It was such an important time for me for sure.
I never really skated but that was my group growing up. Peterson is the man!
half the appeal is that they might get kicked off the spot at any minute.
Billy Well yeah that's part of the danger as well.
It's not appealing at all actually. We'd rather skate, pick ourselves up, skate, and then dip. I 100% guarantee you no skater means harm in any way shape or form to anyone or anything. Some people are not fortunate enough to have local skateparks and so we make do with what we have. If the property owner tells us to leave then we leave, simple as that. But imagine working at something with your, blood, sweat, and tears (literally) and having the opportunity of success stripped away from you. That's what makes it so hard to comply with people when we're told to leave, when we're doing nothing to harm anything or anyone and we're just trying to improve our abilities. I'm 16 and have been skating for 3 years. I love skateboarding.
Edit: misspelled success.
I feel like skateboarding is a pretty inherently gender neutral activity. There's nothing synonymous with masculinity about skateboarding itself aside from the fact that more men skate. I being a male skater frankly love to see women encouraged and inspired by skating.
bob jones Id say the risk involved appeals more to men than women. My dad got my sister and I into Skating, boarding, and surfing. From my experience, she would shy away from doing anything too dangerous in all these activities. But enjoyed it nonetheless.
Yes but I would argue that has little to do with the act of skateboarding and more with the differences in how society views men from women. Men tend to be seen and raised to be ruthless while women are told to be composed, safeguarded and delicate. So again to my understanding skateboarding has no INHERENT gender preference, it just happens that society favors the sport more towards men than something that has over time become a universally gender neutral sport like tennis for example. Women have proven to be 100% as capable as men in skateboarding but I would entirely attribute the inverse amount of women to men skaters to the already predominant male following. It is after all a statistically male dominated activity, but I would in no way use this info to discourage women from skating, especially as I've met many many amazing female skaters and follow even better pro female skaters.
Masculine doesn't equal man. Women can strive to be masculine (most don't).
It takes so much focus and discipline to truly get good at skateboarding. Underrated sport.
I've only been skating for 2 years so I'm not doing some too crazy stuff. But, skateboarding really helped me build courage. I've fallen countless times and hurt myself pretty much every time I go skateboarding. I keep on going because I like it and it's making me tougher.
02:26 Did anyone else think Another brick in the wall? ;) I bet Peterson likes that song.
I don't think he is against education.
TheGrundigg The song isn't against education either.
I'm an adult that skateboards am I out of this perfection equation?
Bee Snz
Im 55 and learn new stuff every time I skate, still.
Im stoked on even the most minor of new stuff learned. U are never too old.
Dig?
Skated up until I lost my leg. Still take my kid to the park.
Look up that wheelchair guy that "skates" skateparks.
Ya never know
Nobody who's minding their own business skateboarding should be bothered, but there's something important about not fucking with kids. They're still developing and shitty interactions can really impact them in ways that an adult wouldn't have to deal with.
Not even ; once you’re a skater you never really stop skating if it was real to you.
I can vouch for this. Skateboarding changed me life for the better when I picked up.
Amazing segment
Pink Floyd was right all along. Leave those kids alone!
Jordan Peterson suffers from ethno-dysphoria. He was born American, in a Canadians body. Poor thing.
Genius! He should make a counter law to force people to call him by his preferred homeland. If other people get to say if they are male or female and get to force others to comply, then lets push that solipsism to the limit.
@Ross Palumbo call me crazy (and lots of people do) - but Canadians ARE Americans. Canadians are Americans like US Citizens are, and American like Confederates were and pre-USA colonists. Washington was American before the USA formed. Present day Canada is as much a descendant of America as it is of England, France, or any native tribe. Canada is a lot of things and one of those is American.
Canadian and American are not ethnicities.
Technically any insular group separated from the rest of the world for a significant amount of time becomes an ethnicity.
Canadians and Americans are not "separated form the rest of the world" nor are they homogenous groups of poople. They are probably most cosmopolitan societies in history. Not ethnicities - nationalities.
When we were little, one of my friends once said "Fight fun with safety", and that perfectly sums up the attitude that young boys have.
Man the way he described that all was beautiful!
Man do not bloody border children skateboarding with Tiamat in the underworld.
Like really man, of course that's scary but you have to save your father from that place because it's bloody important.
Someone has to do it so clean up your room like it's the belly of the whale.
Miiks Lol! Yeah, JP's got his memes and brand markers too, that's one reason we love him. Good play on his tropes!
"Man do not bloody border children skateboarding with Tiamat in the underworld."
It's trying to communicate.
This sounds good until you take into account what the price of failure could be, the kid could hit his head and become unable to walk, talk or think properly. Its not fair to leave that kind of decision to kids who arn't in the right state of mind because their brains arn't fully developed, ESPECIALLY the part of the brain for determining risk. Dr.Peterson should know that more than anyone else.
Egyptian Assyrian you both are lost you have no idea how much of a positive impact skateboarding can bring but of course you wouldnt know or understand because you dont skate so you make stupid comments like this look into it skateboarding has such a big connected culture for a reason because its an art form its unique and everyone is accepted theres no such thing as racism or really any negativity at all depression ceases to exist when you skate because your focused on learning new things and progressing which makes it such a beautiful thing dont try to cuss on a culture you have no knowledge about. And all the injuries your stating that skaters will “regret” happen so rarely that it shouldnt even be brought up. Educate yourself
Lee Ostadi how are you going to develop risk assessment without taking risks? Look at he facts and you will see that other sports like football and gymnastics are far more dangerous than skateboarding. So before you spout your ignorance why don’t you at least try not to be a hypocrite
Lee Ostadi please tell me you're fucking trolling.
I was a shy boring kid and this makes me remember all the times my brother basically forced me to do brave stupid things, and now I want to go do something stupid. You get the most physical joy out of life doing physically dangerous things with your friends.
Jordan Peterson saying “board-slide” makes me cackle
How does skateboarding relate to toxic masculinity? I’ve never heard anybody compare the two before
Jordan Buchacher walking off the pain your in and not showing that it hurts is considered toxic masculinity by the sjw crowd.
Aaron that’s not an aspect of toxic masculinity though... it’s not even an aspect of masculinity. Literal physical toughness is not gendered. You don’t know enough about toxic masculinity if you think that. Also, sociology/psychology are not the same as being a “sjw”. This guy also does not know anything about what toxic masculinity is. Do your own actual research if you’re interested in the topic
Jordan Buchacher there are tons of videos on youtbe that describe aspects of toxic masculinity as not expressing pain and walking it off and holding it in. JP is a clinical phsycologist, who the fuck are you?
Jordan Buchacher who ever said anything about literal physical toughness? JP didnt, I didnt, you did. Im talking about not expressing it, holding it in. You are trying to manipulate what im saying because you are wrong.
Aaron toxic masculinity is considered TOXIC because it causes people to feel pressured to make choices that will harm them in an emotional way
Mr Jordan, how do you explain cultures such as the Chinese and Welsh who have opposite views of dragons than most Indo-European cultures?
He might argue that they have a more similar than different view - dragons are a source of chaos and danger, but they're also associated with wealth. But the differences in culture are still fascinating.
I feel like the dragon is simply a proxy for chaos. In Asian cultures, they have Oni and spirits, which act on their own accord, and can be quite destructive.
They Also believe that within the self is order and chaos, whereas the European had a more... extrinsic view of things, as a man was as agent within a sea of order and chaos that lay outside the self.
A rose by any other name, as it were.
Being a source of wealth and chaos, if one can control and harness this dragon, then do they inherit the wealth? On the same topic of JP's views on getting to know your inner psychopath. Being able to be chaotic and destructive but controlling it is very admirable and attractive, in comparison to not being able to cause chaos or destruction at all, which is just pathetic in a sense.
I've been a skateboarder my entire life; I strongly agree with this man. I've never heard a point of view as this man, well done.
Skateboarding is also an escape from a possible fucked up life or day. Good stress reliever. Along with lesson learner.
how about girls that skateboard?
black yang No you stay home and scrub potatoes 🥔
Every 1mil of skaters there's one girl, if she is not a poser hopefully. Why bother mentioning girls in an extremely male dominated subject? Fuck off . #MUHGENDEREQUALITY
lol @ Jeff Moss comment.
Wow, that's weird. I never thought about it but I've never seen a girl skateboarder.
Max?
Jordan Peterson speaking about skateboarding .. by far my favorite video EVER !
As someone who specialised in kids playspace, regulated sizes includes finger entrapment, hand entrapment, foot & leg entrapment, head entrapment, impact absorption for softfall mulch, impact absorption for rubberised softfall, fall heights from any raised surface, etc., etc.
This is awesome! I had no idea his 11th rule was related to skateboarding
Mad fucking Respect to this dude my man Jordan spreading that love.....
Skateboarding is freedom....freedom is in the mind....put your mind to use and pop a kickflip.
Oh yessssiiirr! Jordan Peterson thank you so much for this!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I skate and I saw a clip on Instagram of Jordan Peterson talking about skateboarding and that's how I found him. Thank God for skateboarding
I'm 33 and I've been sk8in since 13. Most people dont understand what it actualy means to do this sport and the mindset that comes with it.Thumbs up for Dr. Peterson for defending skaters. You see a rail, I see multiple ways to slide,grind or ollie it.
