He’s actually been doing that for a while. He covers skate related stories and skateboards while doing them. Apparently he’s been doing them for a long time now and this one blew up.
@@regulus3413 yeah, nope. This is the video of him doing it for the first time, he even mentions that they are starting this skate news thingy from there on out. And his coworkers as you can see by the reactions havent seen it before.
@@PyramidHACK telling you right now. the way you think is gonna lead to you having mental problems and idealizations towards conspiracies. these are just coworkers having a sweet chat. there is nothing negative here. you will continue to bring negativity to spaces and you will be alone. I used to fixate like this until I realized how insane those thoughts are. don't give into it.

@@Wuqz awww dude my grandma once asked me “why my name isn’t on my board someone’s gonna take it” I had to explain that only pros get that and people don’t just have their names on boards 😂
That must have been nerve racking, because he knew that if he fell off, he was instantly going to become a viral meme for the next 10 years! What a legend for throwing down
@@adriangoodman8901 true dat. All I was thinking was that trying it live on t.v. while looking at the camera and reciting a script was what was going to add the uncertainty though.
I bet he never thought his skating passion and his journalism profession would ever intersect. I bet when that story came up he BEGGED his boss to cover it. That was pretty dope.
“Now that right there was a steezy kickflip back tail down the hubba for you folks at home... back to you Karen .” Edit: karen is literally the female anchors name
@@azia5051 What did you say? Suite? Like a fancy apartment/office spaces? Shock? Did you actually get electrocuted and that's why this makes no sense? Raps? Is it because he's black?
Reminds me of that time me and my friend went to the skate park. We took a small break and this guy in a full on business suit comes in and skates. I was in awe my guy
You can tell when someone has been skating for a long time, even if you can't do a lot of fancy tricks or can't do them anymore like me, you just look natural and completely in control.
This was beautiful. What a great mix of childhood love of skateboarding and having to conform to adulthood professionalism but never letting go of his childhood dreams too. Even the fact that he thought he should do this segment on the skateboard.. Is so skateboard rebel. Backyard pool ....
As a skater who has been skating for 16 years, it still makes me smile seeing someone that's supposed to be professional and serious hop on a board a rip it. It's awesome!
I dont think you are being 100% honest. You think people into skating are going to be looking at news shorts and funny reels? No man, you'd be watching fully flared or sponsor-me tapes like ali ciattoni, or mike mo. I'm telling you because I broke 2 ribs and had to quit and actually become an adult. There is a reason the news anchor.... even after this incredible display... will just go home, to a skateboardless world, and continue doing regular, ultra-vanilla news' sections. You remind me of those kids I use to play skate with that started doing freestyle or 'made up' tricks. get outta here.
@@Civerius Wtf are you talking about? I've been skating for 16 years, going on 17. Whats the problem with saying that i enjoy seeing someone serious hop on a board and have fun? I didn't say anything about watching this as a serious skate video, so wtf are you talking about? Maybe focus on yourself and work on yourself cause you seem to like making assumptions based off whatever it is that goes on in your brain.
I like that he has his skate sneakers on. He couldn't wait to go to the skatepark! I wish I had one that was nearby me. You're never too old to learn how to skate.
I seen on the news recently a couple of 80 year olds in Japan have taken up Skating during the pandemic, they see the kids enjoying it so they wanted to learn, pretty Kool.
Build it. A small half-pipe. Small ramps, railslides, etc. It takes just a little imagination, ingenuity, wood, screws, nails, and effort to turn a driveway or patio into a park.
Victor is a BOSS!!! That made me smile because it’s a time in life where one of your true passions crosses with your job. Thank you for helping me smile, have a little laugh and start my Saturday off right.
Yo I know skating sometimes gets a bad rep and stuff, but Im just here to say that skating got me out of depression, gave me something to do aside from my 9 to 5 job, something to look forward to in my days, helped me to be in great shape, got me a lot of friends all nice people, took me to travel to lots of places, and kept me off doing lots of drugs (yeah we still smoked some weed but nothing close to the drugs I was taking while depressed with nothing to do). Skating saved my life, now I have lots of loyal friends, girlfriends sometimes, amazing cardio, clean of drugs for years and being happy all around and I still skate 2h a day. Keep shredding bros ane sisters!
@@HarshvardhanKanthode you still have time 🤙🏽 just don’t keep postponing it. I have an acquaintance who started surfing at 21. She’s almost 40 and boy does she rips!
@@HarshvardhanKanthode it's too late bro...u missed out on too much important learning to start now. If you don't learn it as a kid, it's likely that you'll never learn. Probably best to just accept fate and watch other people do it.
@@vaporiiz I feel bad for all the little girls named karen. This genuinely cannot be good for the mental health knowing the world basically demonizes their name like that. But hey, as long as we get some fun memes it's all fun and games.
That is a very cool story! I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Williams during the recent floods in Detroit. He is very professional, concerned, and polite.
I'm sure that's why he kept the session simple. Would have loved if they did an extra on demand video piece on him actually skating without having to try and talk to the camera.
The breakdown Drops in through through the bank to catch speed, hits a cleannn 180 revert into switch stance, hits the ramp for a beautifully balanced nose stall and drops back in smoothhhh.. while live on air wearing a business suit. This man is a legend
@@meowforjasper2838 actually... I think they did, dude. I went a cross-referenced other accounts with similar names and they’ve been typing like that since a post I found on 9gag dating back August 9 2011 11:45:12 PST. Pretty amazing, actually.
@@alphasalazar2490 14 year old me had a girlfriend back in 2003 who would use studly caps to make fun of people. That shits been around since the dawn of the internet ha. Odd how people think that its even remotely new
As a fan of skateboarding for over two decades I can honestly say this is one of the coolest things that I've ever seen. He was just so casual with it. This man should get a deal with a skateboarding brand or company. Who knows maybe skateboarding can be his side hustle.
I imagine in highschool he was one of those kids who instead of going home immediately he skated around the school while avoiding security guards telling him to stop lol!
Victor Williams - 9-Club! I love how the camera zooms in on his (technically) fakie back tail... It would've been even funnier if the camera man was running and filming beside him xD
I can't stand stabily on a skateboard without wiping out, let alone do a TV report while I cruise around a skateboard course. Victor Williams, the G.O.A.T.
If you get a good board and just ride around, back and forth, after about a week it’ll be more comfortable than riding a bike. It is a perishable skill
I figured out how to ride a board just by going up and down the street and eventually increasing speed. I realized quickly that its much easier to stand on a moving board than a still one lol
Imagine this was a negative story 💀 “Tragedy strikes community as local park goer was the victim of a hit and run and is currently being treated at down town medical center.” And then he does a pop shuv lmao
Hell yeah. This guy is the best! Finally something good on the news. And you know he was just takin it easy because he had to talk and wear a suit, but he wanted to get after it. Lovin this right here!
