[MrTailwhips]

[numnutth]

that looks like a bomb skate park. i want to go skate it.

[myigloo]

He's doing good for himself. Being homeless is horrible, but maybe he grew up in a shanty town..then the streets is almost a better home. Glad he can concentrate on this!

[OmEGARoDD]

dude, ive actually skated with these guys in 2007. it was great. talent and seasway were the 2 guys i met. great kids.

[tom3999]

suks hes homeless, skateboards and shoes are pricey over there, this kid needs a sponsorship and it could help him get all his gear paid for and may even get him park time to himself, or movie him to australia to practice

[collintouzell]

[joetheazl]

homeless?!

[christiaannagel]

Man this is awesome. I grew up surfing snake park. I always use to see this kid at the park hassling people for their boards. Snakepark used to be a very 'locals only' kinda place. I remember getting all kinds of shit when i was a kid surfing there. But now surfing is massive and everyone is riding. Just these kids are now better then most of the older dudes. sweet man. nostalgic vid! I'll be there in Feb. surfing the shit outa that place. London's cold...

[twino0o0o0o0]

[TheMightyAlexander]

Thanks. Thats awesome. He went by the name "Talent" and he was a cool kid.

[amskater300]

im just wondering was he homeless?

[TheMightyAlexander]

When I met him, yes.

[amskater300]

how did he buy his skateboard or was it given to him by other skaters

[TheMightyAlexander]

Other skaters, friends, good people, etc., would help out. Though he didn't ask, I paid him for this footage.

[amskater300]

he is good tho

[MrDevonatorsk8r]

@TheMightyAlexander You are a good man, I wish I could help everyone in the world but I cant.



[TokkieMonster]

@TheMightyAlexander you should see TALENT now was in durban this vacation he's sick! and helps the kids who start skating with their basics and tricks. He's older now he looks about 18
