The coolest thing about skateboarding is that, except for contests, it's not about being better than anyone, it's about being better than you were yesterday.
When Grosso hands you a Thrasher and your picture is on the cover... and then Tony hands you a board and you name is on it, You are doing something right.
Kinda funny they didn’t mention her huge slam on that mega ramp and her breaking her leg and having to get screws or metal plates or whatever in her hip. Pretty impactful.
@@goskateboarding1412 Not everyone flys off a mega ramp at full speed into a wall and falls 20ft to straight gravel. She got mangled & came back just as good... Pretty impactful
This is the worst analogy for skateboarding I have ever heard tbh. One can't put it in a box and catogorize it.. Skating is skating that's all it needs to be.
Not only is Lizzie an amazing skateboarder, but she's also an amazing person. Such a smart, humble, talented soul. I really dig these NYT profiles. Please continue to post these.
I love the mom quote “ Lizzie doesn’t look at herself as a female skateboarder; she looks at herself as a skateboarder’ A perfect quote for the 2021 woman living in a dude’s world.
Been following skateboarding daily for 30 years, practising for the first 15, now just enjoying it online. Lizzies way of defining skateboarding gave me the chills!
Most of the individuals who frequent the Olympics are getting old and gray anyways. We need to make room for the incoming sports for spectators who are actually going to be *alive* to watch them. It’s truly refreshing to see skateboarding, surfing, and rock climbing accepted as sports in the Olympics.
There was a documentary in the olympics channel explaining why skateboarding, snowboarding, surf and rock climbing are the sports that are going to save the Olympics.
It’s true, she’s the one who inspired me to pick up a board and go try trans/vert 🙂 her skating is so good, I just wanted to get to know what it feels like
I remember when I was a kid in the late 90's to early 2000's... I loved watching Tony, Bucky, Sheckler, and the others during XGames when it aired on TV... Wishing that I could also skate... But alas, those were the times when Basketball and Skateboarding (especially skateboarding) is considered as a BOY's sport... Kinda still is here... So I NEVER had the chance to learn it while I still can... Now I'm riddled with knee and back injuries due playing basketball when I was in college and the numerous fights I've got myself into... And being an overweight, health issues ridden adult here is like a life sentence in prison... I'm just glad that Margie Didal gets to represent our country 🇵🇭 in the coming Olympics... But watching you, Lizzie and the other women make Skateboarding a more female friendly sport is such a big thing to me... I've been a fan for years... Hope you gals all the best during the upcoming Olympics...
i feel that. i could probably still start, it's never too late and all that, but. it's scary, though. i wish i could have seen myself in some of these women back then and had the confidence to pursue it while i was young.
Tony Hawk is becoming the Morgan Freeman of Skateboarding. He was already a Legend when I used to skate in the late 80's and he's still a Legend now. Great to embrace dope skaters like Lizzie 👌🏼She's just dope and she pushes the envelope in Skateboarding and showed that women can be just as great as men. In other sports I am barely interested in the women's division but in Skateboarding I am definitely watching!
Remember when you all hated us and called the cops on us to chase us out of skate spots and labeled us as criminals and hooligans? I remember. I’ll never forget how y’all treated us.
I think legitimising skateboarding is the worst for it’s fringe, rebellious nature. It’s like the creation of a rock snd roll hall of fame for something anti establishment by nature

Olympic sports are expressions of Martial Arts & Unity with Running of the Torch igniting small villages fires that have gone out... I think the Olympics should have stayed how they were intended... Do we even do discus, shotput or javelin anymore or are they on their way out to be replaced? Aren't there enough extreme sports venues? I don't see them adding Olympic sports to their schedules... World Cyber Games have more of a place in Olympics than Skateboarding & Snowboarding do.. Boarding is awesome & fun, do we need to exploit it like everything else?
Man no I don't think anyone's brought up how the nudity and the brands got through RUclips's guide lines because its a bigger channel... I get the tone, I love skateboarding but it wouldn't of hurt a big company to protect children watching this. Also at 9:34 where is that?

Yeah true, but you should do everything in your life based on that m8. Take care.
I know this story wasn't really about her representing Finland, but I'm so happy she is a part of my country's Olympic team.
Same 💪🏽♀️🇫🇮

@@TelephoneToughGuy nice way to ruin this with politics
eihän tuo oo suomalaista nähnykkää! miksei se edusta jenkkejä??
Finland you got a gem, she’s being interviewed by the GOAT.
Well. She is sponsored by the GOAT. :D
Our only chance to win a gold
Hanging out with Tony Hawk and Jaws is an unparalleled level of being cool
Counterpoint, hanging out with Lizzie Armanto is also very cool
When Grosso hands you a Thrasher and your picture is on the cover... and then Tony hands you a board and you name is on it, You are doing something right.
Grosso was a drug addict
@@jasonhernandez6775 and a father, and a friend, and a genuine, meaningful contributor to skateboarding. You should be lucky to have such a full life.
@@jasonhernandez6775 Probably most of your favorite artists and cultural references are drug addicts as well.

Why is that funny? Every skateboarder slams…her thoughts on fear are more impactful IMO
It prob wasnt public for most of the making of this, I assume?
@@goskateboarding1412 Not everyone flys off a mega ramp at full speed into a wall and falls 20ft to straight gravel. She got mangled & came back just as good... Pretty impactful
@@TSerr97 for sure, highlighting that she bounced back after a gnarly injury should be worth mentioning, as it is always inspiring to hear !
Tony being a mentor and teacher like Yoda. Lizzie being the padawan who will use the force and be even bigger than the past.
I like her factual and understated way. And she is right: Skateboarding is like dancing - with gravity!
Heard it say that it's violent ballet since the moves need to be done perfectly synchronized every time otherwise one can get hurt severely.
This is the worst analogy for skateboarding I have ever heard tbh. One can't put it in a box and catogorize it.. Skating is skating that's all it needs to be.
@@alittlecrinkley232 I like metaphors - you don't. Agree to disagree.
@@alittlecrinkley232 longboard dance may interest you
Some beautiful filming in here. All skaters benefit when unique and overlooked viewpoints come to the table
Shes so incredible!!! I use her as my Main on THPS 1+2! I'm gonna be glued to the tv for all the skating events!!!
THE ENDING WAS SO PERFECT HOLY

Still can't believe she survived the most horrific slam in skateboarding history. She's tough as nails.
Didn't see it but I know Jake Browns crash in 07 was bigger.
@@beefcheese3395 i don't think so 🙄
Two thumbs up to everything you do Lizzie, Rock On!!!
Cool, had no idea she was representing Finland. Good luck!
Her father is Finnish.
Good film, thanks New Yorker. People don't always appreciate the sound when watching skate videos, you did it well.
Lizzie is super inspiring!!

Iv had the pleasure of meeting her and skating with her. Amazing! Go Lizzy!!
Lizzie is awesome. Hope she takes the gold. R.I.P. Grosso.
Man, as a woman who started stating as a teenager in the 80s, this really hit me in the feels.
Get back into carving
Still just as epic
That's what's up, so happy for her.
Long live Grosso! Legends never die!
She's so dope
I LOVE THIS STORY!! CAN'T WAIT TIL THE OLYMPICS 👍
Let's hope they won't get canceled 😬😬😬
Go Lizzie! Was looking for you at the games tonite 💕🤙🏼
Skateboarding will change the Olympics. Don't get it twisted.

Good bless Lizzie Armanto 🙏🏼🇺🇸
It’s true, she’s the one who inspired me to pick up a board and go try trans/vert 🙂 her skating is so good, I just wanted to get to know what it feels like
That's so awesome! GO GET IT LIZZIE!!!
i almost cried at the end..skate or die
shes so awesome 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hawk backing you up, no big deal. Rad
Go Lizzie!
good luck Lizzie
She rules and is Inspiring.
I remember when I was a kid in the late 90's to early 2000's...
I loved watching Tony, Bucky, Sheckler, and the others during XGames when it aired on TV...
Wishing that I could also skate...
But alas, those were the times when Basketball and Skateboarding (especially skateboarding) is considered as a BOY's sport...
Kinda still is here...
So I NEVER had the chance to learn it while I still can...
Now I'm riddled with knee and back injuries due playing basketball when I was in college and the numerous fights I've got myself into...
And being an overweight, health issues ridden adult here is like a life sentence in prison...
I'm just glad that Margie Didal gets to represent our country 🇵🇭 in the coming Olympics...
But watching you, Lizzie and the other women make Skateboarding a more female friendly sport is such a big thing to me...

So cool thank you for the story and the footage
Respect Lizzie
Great story.
Thank you.
This is amazing.
"Representing finland to make room for another woman on America's team" AS YOU SHOULD HECK YES!!
Tony Hawk is becoming the Morgan Freeman of Skateboarding. He was already a Legend when I used to skate in the late 80's and he's still a Legend now.

Once you do the Deth Loop .. You can DO IT AGAIN!!!
2021 was the year I saw Lizzie pushing on a skateboard twice.(two separate videos.)
Can't lie Lizzie is my bet for the women park gold
G-g-g-get it get it girl!
Amazing !!!
Good Luck Lizzie
Great job skater... good luck
Sk8
This is beautiful
yaaaasss!
I hope she wins
Tony hawk said it himself the Olympics needs skateboarding more than skateboarding needs it.
I hope they all go for gold. Wouldn’t be much of the olympics without the competition? 🤣
Remember when you all hated us and called the cops on us to chase us out of skate spots and labeled us as criminals and hooligans?
I remember. I’ll never forget how y’all treated us.
Jesus F. Christ just let it go 🙄
Sorry Guys, but Brazil already have Rayssa Leal
That chic rules, what an awesome human being!
Who does the closing music?
Okay, glad to be alone here
she and axel are both so soft spoken lmao. same tho
cool to see them together.
i agree
the editing in this depicts some things so over dramatically that its some times comedic, but I enjoyed very much anyways cause Lizzie
like at 6:31 it goes "we got some of the best medical staff here" and its just doctor tony hawk
Sheesh finally
Awesome yo
It makes no sense how vert isn't in the Olympics. In my mind, it's the only type of skateboarding that really lends itself to competition.
what a god dam legend had no idea who she was all these years when she would skate at garvanza skatepark lol i just thought she was really good lol
NICE
Why isn’t vert in the olympics?
Make jack's, marbles, and hopscotch Olympic sports.
i wonder whos gonna be the commentator for the skateboarding olympics
im not crying youre crying
3:30 this part was weird. They edited it to make it more dramatic
I think legitimising skateboarding is the worst for it’s fringe, rebellious nature. It’s like the creation of a rock snd roll hall of fame for something anti establishment by nature
🤙🏻
Great piece 😀👍🏼💩super cool!
Is Tony gonna try it?
She's so incredibly beautiful
Finland?
LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE
If you can find a reason to dislike Lizzie, I'll give you $100k
Oh a video about Lizzie…should be safe to watch with my 11yr old daughter. Watches to 4:20…skips ahead 30 seconds 🙄
Skating has always been a sport lol
What is the song at 7:20 and at the end????

She sounds American.. Why's she representing Finland? Always love seeing Tony Hawk!
The reason is literally stated in the beginning of the video. She has dual citizenship since her dad is Finnish.
