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.
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
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
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.
since you have a midwest video then perhaps you also have middlewestern? i used to have a dvd but one of my friends stole it. it deserve an upload that was a sick one
If by sponced you mean sponsored, he's pro for Deathwish now. He also is sponsored by Supra, Altamont, Shake Junt, Thunder, Satori, Stance, and Uprise. And that "wrist guard" you speak of is called a cast. You have to wear one after breaking a bone if you want it to heal properly. If you don't get casts when you break bones, you're probably really screwed up right now. Actually, no. You probably have never ollied a bigger drop than a curb. You probably didn't commit, so you never get hurt.
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??

I gotta be honest neen looks like napoleon dynamite skateboarding........
Neen was a angry little guy.. He's changed so much. It's very inspirational.
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
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
looking back at how he use to skate its amazing how good he is now love his heel flips
1:44 - "Close my eyes, and swallow..." O_O
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
I keep watchin this vid. its so dope. real inspiration right here
Hes gotten so chill over the years
The second song is "Something bigger, Something brighter" By Pretty girls make graves there you go people :D
20 years is crazy
vote for pedro just messin he was on the come up tho! look how good neen is now
pedro for president
pedro offers protection
neen is a good skater but dam he looks like super geek
i agree
Christopher Matson weed.
fiddlesticks217 lol
+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.
+scott davies thats neen before weed XD
Lmao it’s funny how he’s so chill now
Weed turned him from David Gravette to the Neen we know and love today

2003
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
napoleon dynamite?
I remember watching this when it first came out. Wow, nostalgia
reminds me of napolean dynamite
That's what I said
nothing like the midwest crust
this came out in 2003
Neens the MAN.
Miss skating 31st street with ya bro. Its pops from Chicago.
I know right? the shoes for skateboarding have evolved so much.
The intro is Neen Williams, before he started smoking weed.
Thank you for 🎁!!!:)
i was 13 if this was 03, how old is neen?! trippy shit to see howlong he's been ripping!
at 4:20 im pretty sure thats the Wells Fargo in downtown Milwaukee. Which is fuckin dope
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.
he is the napoleon dynamite of this skate video :)
2021?
I just watched his trip essentials video and hes so young in here!
He's all about his heelflips
Amazing
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
hes from chicago, saw his once, good to see people from the chi coming up
Eric Andre + Skateboarding = Young Neen Williams
What Is the second song called
Pavel Korzun pretty girls make graves - something bigger something brighter
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.
a true skate legend! #RESPECT
This was him at 17 18 after 4 years of skating
its crazy to see his style after all aint fake
second song is " rain drops falling on my head"
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
is that last stair set in Cincinnati?
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
neen williams' real name is eugene and this is really old too
Can't be arsed to scan the comments to see if this has already been mentioned but.....Napolean Dynamite.
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.
since you have a midwest video then perhaps you also have middlewestern? i used to have a dvd but one of my friends stole it. it deserve an upload that was a sick one
There's Waldo at 5:10
his name is eugene. neen is his nickname
daaaamn he was killing it back then
¿Neerd Williams?
Isn't Neen williams the dude with dreadlocks who did professional grip art with chalk?
neen willias is super chill now, so its kinda weird seeing him flipout when he was younger
Baby Neen Before Cheekssss
1:51 line at Columbus HighSchool was so fire 🔥
4:34 BEASTLY
tell me please name of the first song ??
2:50 that spot was GOLD
Hey what is the second song?
What are these old school killer songs does anyone know them would be nice if some would know them :D
Because I Got High: Afroman
was that the cincy 16?
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! NEEN IS SO CUTE AS WELL
he went from angry and curly hair to chill and 20 foot dreadlocks
Sickest looking heels even back then
his name is eugene
He is chill now☮✝🛐🌵🌿🌴🍃🌷
The way he said "Hate you!" was kinda cute.
he used to look like the nerdy kid in highschool and now he's this badass stoner guy with fucking awesome dreads.
he used to have more than 3 tricks?! :o
Definately mellowed out since he found weed
It's kinda funny to see neen, such a cool guy, throw down some serious rage.
Anyone know the name of the song?
@TheDango1212 Thats Why In The Deathwish Video He Does Buttery Ass Kickflips ?
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.
He really went from Eugene 🥸 to Neen 😈💪
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN 3:58 TO ME LIKE WTF?!??!?!
lmao suppose to be a blunt i guess but you know, shit happens
is he skating with running shoes!?
Love it and I even saw a kickflip in there that was new lol
did he ride for fa skateshop?
I don't understand why it's so hard for people to catch on to the fact that Eugene is Neens' full name. Neen, Eugene.....They sound alike.
00:57 are those tennis shoes?
