Thank you NHS. Best Day EVER!

[iaregoldman]

how did you get that?

[TimothyLinkous]

@eliteskater08 your one of my favorite people on Youtube, and theres alotta people out there.

[eliteskater08]

@TimothyLinkous I just wish I had more time and money to dedicate to them. If I could get a hold of a good camera/computer I might actually take the time to edit my videos. I say "might" because part of me likes the fact that the reality shines through, but part of me wishes the videos looked more professional.

[TimothyLinkous]

@eliteskater08 I liked some of your old videos, but I like the new ones too. You can sorta see if you go through your videos how you started improving on making them look more professional.

[eliteskater08]

@TimothyLinkous I've gotta work with what I've got, and it seems like every time I start to get into the groove something happens and my camera or computer end up screwed up, so I have to go out of my way to find another way to post.

[eliteskater08]

@LIVEONCHEESE They looked new and matte black to me...

[rocknrosegirl69]

Hahaha I love the fact that when I first watched this video I was like "The NHS sent him a board? ...The National HEALTH Service... sent him a board?!" Haha yeah over here in the UK it's the National Health Service ^_^

[suicidesnowman14]

@rocknrosegirl69 nhs fun factory makers of indy and santa cruz

[ninjaturtle7861]

@TheLaprechaun santa cruz is amazing.

[omegaforceshockwave]

[eliteskater08]

@omegaforceshockwave Naw, I got her used.

[omegaforceshockwave]

@omegaforceshockwave Teehee

[Thecabbagekiller]

*hugs* oh and NO HOMO.

[eliteskater08]

@liamdallama My editing software crapped out... got about 5x as many submissions as I can possibly use... I'm lazy... I've got a million excuses but it all comes down to me making promises I couldn't keep because I rushed the process.

[eliteskater08]

@liamdallama I like the one I've got but I can't do many tricks right now b/c of my leg so I can't tell for sure how durable they are or anything of that nature.

[jackbmx21]

i like it when u go to the skate shop get new stuff and just look at how awsome it is on the way home lol

[medusa1931]

@MikeTerela well it depends where you are where i live your not allowed to get skate high :(

[stikin1]

that santa cruz is soo awsome looking lucky!

[4DiamondsKid]

do you have kids or what cause you said take the kids skating?

[eliteskater08]

@4DiamondsKid I call 2 of my friends "The Kids" because neither of them has a father figure, a job, or a car, so I have to take them to do shit to keep them out of trouble and shit.

[4DiamondsKid]

@eliteskater08 wow didnt expect that

[JonShantz1]

Is Your leg ever going to be fully healed?

[eliteskater08]

@JonShantz1 It'll never be as good as it was but it'll get good enough to skate on eventually.

[skaterenjoi100]

@MikeTerela dud everybody who can skate for more than 3 hours is addicted lol.

[drewdog82592]

haha waterfalls of awesomeness, sounds like sumthin i would say. "skate high" ftw. I love the feeling of WANTING to skate cuz it's like all you think about in the moment. The natural enemy of the "skate high" is frikkin rain. rain sucks btw. who agrees?

[12skateman]

i am 13

[12skateman]

i am hosting a go skateboarding day event on June 19 and i need some donations can you ask nhs for me??

[eliteskater08]

[AwesomeWthSideOFries]

skate rehabilitation.

[LazyDaysSD]

I've skated with e-man, he's the sickest raddest dude ever. santa cruz are o.g.

[007evin]

sorry im a new subscriber but who are the kids you talk about

[eliteskater08]

@007evin "The kids"is what I refer to my friends as, they don't drive so if they wanna skate anywhere decent I have to take drive them around like a soccer mom.

[gravmind]

thats so awesome that you can skate again, so you and heather broke up?

[eliteskater08]

@gravmind Yeah. Didn't wanna deal with all that anymore.

[carrollthirteen]

...oh yeah,NHS love. I love my 169 Indys on my (reissue)80s completes, and the one Creature deck I own so far(Navarette Brue Killer), as well as the Creature Coffin Wax!

[carrollthirteen]

I've never broken anything for sure, but I do thave sme "theoretical breaks".

...but regardless, it's always hard coming back from an accident and/or a long time off the board.Even harder in your 30s.I've been skating again almost two years after a long absence, and I remember how worn out I got from just skating a block when I first started again. And everytime I get hurt(rare), it takes a few weeks to get up to speed again.

[carrollthirteen]

...damn beer...

[thatboytrent]

do you have kids?

[XxGodOfVideosxX]

I just got back from the skatepark, with a ALMOST fractured hip. i was planning to film for a shop sponsor, but i bailed right before the dude got there. now i cant skate for a week, didnt get the sponsor, and there was an upcoming skate contest. so now im shitted out. just please keep the vids coming

[alfredonski]

haha, waterfalls of awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShovelandBoard]

[WWEfan275]

glad to hear :) funny thing is that i got a skateboard today and i built it and gave it to one of my best friends glad to hear your back and your happy and getting better also the Board looks pretty awesome i heard santa cruz boards are really good for flip tricks

[TheWiseMan08]

1) I just want to know what happened in 7th grade that made you happier? Surely I have to know what it is, but I can't for the life of me remember anything...

2) Hey did I just make a comment on youtube? Yes this does mean I finally caught up on all of your videos, and I do mean ALL... seemed like a good way to use my first day of internet haveage.

[eliteskater08]

@TheWiseMan08 Allen died in 8th grade and everything sucks more when you feel sorry for yourself so I let myself be less happy than I should have been.

[PirateSmoothie]

lol @ 1:32

im sorry you didnt get your "hardware".....but at least you got a free skateboard....... :D

[thebuddog101]

im fuckin stoned on skating.

[whiteethiopian]

dude this is so weird, i broke m femur and got a metal rod in it and same with you and my left kneee is fucked up, the only difference is that i am sponcerd now

[tehchaosskateteam]

@MikeTerela  (agreed)

[KelleyBates]

allen key is way better, less stripage. have fun skating! so good :)

[eliteskater08]

@KelleyBates Yeah but I don't usually have an allen wrench with me when I skate.

[KelleyBates]

@eliteskater08 ahh true, true

well anyways good luck with your leg :)

[ShovelandBoard]

@eliteskater08 i have a unit skate key that has a part you can pull out with a screw driver and an allan wrench on it you could spend $10 on one or $1 on hardware lol

[thegiraffe94]

Also, if I was in your situation, I would have cried when I opened that box :*)

[thegiraffe94]

"My armpits were like Waterfalls of AWESOME"

Haha, good to see your back in action Levi. Happy skating, bro :)

Roll forever.

[drizzaa]

[parkersem12]

[wolfeskater]

[almost742617000027]

[Wyattisaspaz]

[DOUGHBOYsk8er]

[scratchmesilly]

[PhyreZx]

Awesome, just don't push it cuz in cold weather, broken bones will start to tense up like never before. anyway, still cool, not much i can say cept have fun.

[SkateBoardingIsGnarr]

[YeahCain2]

skatebaording has magical life changing properties that no man or skater will never fully know... glad to know your back on the board... i assume your still at risk of re-breaking your leg though, so be careful now!

[xCuteLilEmoBoyx]

hey are you gettin back to bonelesses?

[eliteskater08]

Not til my muscles are back to normal. Right now I can't even ollie a deck or throw a decent 180, can't flip it at all... gotta wait til I can handle more impact. I don't half ass my bonelesses so it's gunna be a while before I do any. Can't afford to get hurt.

[xCuteLilEmoBoyx]

@eliteskater08 oh alright

[Fuseskateteam]

i got back on my board after 5 months now!!! i fucked up my knees but now im all fixed up and back!!! soooo happy! i know what you feel like!!! bets feeling ever being able 2 sk8 again!

[skiernskater123]

Dude that sounds amazing. when you skate you totally go into this zone. i love it.

[eliteskater08]

I block everything else out when I'm in skate mode. It feels wonderful.

[troyisawesome]

ive had those breaks of skateboarding but once you get back on one you get sucked in bye the rush i love skateboardin it will be in my life forever so i understand how you feel

[Vivoverdad]

Awesome!!! I know how you feel skateboarding is freakin amazing

[gottahurttolearn]

nice deck and good to know your back on a board

[eliteskater08]

It feels gooood. I mean emotionally and mentally it feels good. Physically I'm exhausted and feel awful, but it's a good kind of awful. =)

[gottahurttolearn]

@eliteskater08 when your skateboarding there is no bad awful

[eliteskater08]

True dat. Even when I broke bones skating it felt like it was worth it to be out for 6 weeks because I did it doing what I love.

[gottahurttolearn]

@eliteskater08 i think thats the best thing ive heard in a week and your lucky canada has to much snow all parks nearby or outdoors and the indoor ones downtown are like $1000000000 to get in filled with posers so i get like 4 months of skateboarding a year depending on weather

[eliteskater08]

Ouch. We've got decent weather here all year so skating is always an option. THANK GOD. lol

[gottahurttolearn]

@eliteskater08 well my parents are always talking about moving to flordia and i was supposed to be in flordia right now but my parents said " what can you have in flordia that you cant have here" 1. fun 2. a t-shirt with out a 40 pound coat and finally skateboarding i told them that....and they said i could od that here so ya ur lucky

[eliteskater08]

I've got some family in Florida and we visited them for Christmas a few years ago. We went to the beach on Christmas Eve. SO rad. I love Florida. =)

[gottahurttolearn]

@eliteskater08 i might be going during summer my uncle lives in flordia he had a boat but ill be out in in street maybe a park but mostly street i love flordia ive been there like i dont know maybe twice ive skateboard both times how old were you when you started skateboarding i was 3-4

[eliteskater08]

Man I honestly don't know. Skating has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, I don't remember not having it in one way or another but I didn't get a board of my own until I was 7 or 8, and it broke pretty quickly. I guess I got another one in about 6th or 7th grade and that's when I really started to get into the physical part of skating rather than just watching it in awe on TV and in person.

[gottahurttolearn]

@eliteskater08 cool i also got into physical part in like grade 5 i used to just like ride around and like sneak into the parking lot but lying down on my back on a board fly down the ramp and get through the door parking lot was safer then because of the crips that were around come to think of it i hardly ever skated a different place untill i moved and i didnt really skate to much there i left grade 3 and started to skate board board and now i cant get it out of my mind

[vanskater07]

@eliteskater08 dude ya like a month ago it was my first day skating in like four months and i was exausted and fel asleep but it was great

[armandogarcia4]

Nice Santa Cruz

[eliteskater08]

I agree. I've never skated a Santa Cruz before so it's pretty rad to have one under my feet.

[DrumFill09]

nice deck man
