    Omar is a beast of skating 100% with no pads and reaching the potential of being a talent skater to continuing design the graphics from the old classic generation skateboard.

  • @kevint.5381

    Skated with Omar a couple times, right after his blockhead pro model dropped, and again later at the Dew Tour. After all those years not only was he skateboarding at a level that would make him relevant presently, but of all the legendary icons in the bowl that day, was far and away the sickest. We talked about skating together and he actually remembered that day down to the details. Nicest guy you could ever meet. Some say its best to avoid meeting your heroes because they might dispel your image , but Omar is the exact opposite of that

    Omar helped relight my fire to skate way more since COVID. Just being the same age as him and seeing him go off has been an inspiration to recapture my limited skateboarding capabilities - being immersed in skateboarding again has really enhanced life and put things in perspective as a lifelong skateboarder. This isn't passed us. There is still so much to put into it and get out of it. I am beyond grateful for him and the stoke he projects and shares. Thank you, Omar!

    I remember meeting Omar Hassan at the Vans skatepark opening at Great Lakes Crossing in Rochester Michigan. It was him and Karma that were shredding around. I was absolutely blown away by their skating, but Omar and karma’s kindness was second to none. Really nice guys and didn’t try to run off if you approached them, they stood there to chat with you until you were the one done with the conversation. I still have my vans 8x10 pages they signed for me at the event. Legends for a reason!

Not skating much these days but the culture, the comradely and everything else that goes along with skateboarding is still with me for eternity. Thank you Omar 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
