Love this documentary but with out all that delusional religion as a atheist I give huge thanks for AronRa thank you! Keep on rocking as a Atheist would!
I used to hang with Harry in the LES back around 2015 or so. We met at a net cafè in Chinatown folks used to go to to no life League of Legends. We had a ton of conversation about life and such. He used to always speak passionately about surf style, and I never really believed it, but when I finally saw him skating around, oh man, it made sense. It was truly amazing. He's a gem of NY, and I always wish him the best.
Andy is my uncle, this was an amazing documentary. Thank you. Harry you seem like a dope spirit. I can see why he loved you. Love and respect. Legends never die
its funny how people have nostalgia for NYC in the 80s, when it reality it looked like shit lmao... i feel this is probably true for a lot of people and their fond memories of a better time haha
I skateboard because our fallen brothers are not around to skateboard anymore I skateboard to those who are not around to skateboard! I'm 39 on April,so I skate 39 years younger!Sk84life!.. Thanks OG Harry!keep on Skateboarding!✌🏽
I knew Harry, from the early 80's in downtown NYC. He was a sweet soul and skilled skater, natural talent. I also saw him change over the years. I never got to close; just passing him in WSP, on my way to Sunrise Nat on Houston, or home on W.B'way. Harry was a regular on the streets, in the hood, in the park, and all over downtown. It was sad to learn about Andy Kessler. Living in NYC in the 80's was something special; that was taken for granted. The art, the streets, the life. I miss it. much respect....
I was asleep when this came in my Chromecast queue . When I heard this man talking I thought it was Mos Def.. when I woke up and started watching it I kept looking for Mos Def.
I know the feeling of the love for skateboarding. And I also know the feeling of drug addiction. It has robed me of my true potential in all aspects of my life. Rock on brother and stay true to yourself...
47 years on this planet 40 of them on a skateboard and i feel like the skateboard history of New York and it's origins that I had known, were all lies. I'm so stoked I found the truth today. Thank you Harry!
Did time with Harry in Downstate in the mid 2000s. He was the only guy who could or would talk about skating in lockup, and we knew a lot of the same people, though not each other somehow.
I feel some of these people don't know what a disease is or what it's like to have one. We all feel like how can't this be cured. Mad people refuse to believe it's a disease. If you can't understand why he is such a sick skater than you can't understand how he can't conquer a disease. Let's hope all the cancer patients get clean.
I just came up on this story I always look up different stories of different skaters I've been skating since I was 14 I'm 37 now I don't think I'm any better than I was when I was 14 I just do it for the love of getting on a board and feeling the wind hit your face when you're rolling I want to thank you Harry for the story this story touched my heart you will always have a forever Friend in me keep in contact with me if you would like I love you brother I'll keep you lifted in prayer I know what it feels like to be addicted to something all glory to God for living another day for the both of us for any of us struggling
10 years. Drugs had me for 10 damn years and i experienced a lot of messed up stuff. It started with weed and ended with banging just about everything I could get my hands on before I checked myself into rehab. I'm about 20 months clean now.
Wow...that story floored me. Harry seems like a ray of light that just gets covered by dark clouds over and over. I hope he gets the opportunity to take advantage of his art and create a living with that. He's already proved he doesn't need much to live on. Seems like surfing and art would be a good distraction for him to stay clean. Addiction is just really heavy, that's all there is to it...changing your brain chemistry is just not easy. i hope he gets right within himself because this world is a better place with him in it. His genuine nature seems pure, despite the hustle.
