Default Daewon | Documentary Transworld Skatingboarding



My favorite skater of all time. Just how Kariya inspired me to play hockey, Daewon inspired me to skate. Daewon was, and still is in my opinion, the best skater in the world. He just had a way of making skating look like dancing. So insanely technical, yet so artistic and creative.

It's amazing that he's getting his due finally. This is a really great watch. Kind of inspires me to go and bust out my skate again, although I'm not sure if my body can handle the falls anymore. haha

That was outstanding. Never heard of the guy, looks like he started right when I got out.

Man, skaters are so rad. Such impressive skills, that ####s an art form.

Aside from becoming a dad and marrying my wife, this is straight up the coolest thing that has ever happened to me. This trumps even meeting Iginla when I was a kid.

To get a shout out from my life long idol, I am speechless, and giddy with excitement. The greatest skater in the world, the one who inspired me so much as a kid and is still inspirational to me now, thanked me for watching his video. Speechless.

Nothing more to say, other than I'm riding a very big emotional high.

Him and rodney mullen were my 2 favourite skaters back when I was into it. Something about the technicality really spoke to me. Also, not flying down massive stairs. It was something I could aspire too.
