There is a hope...

“Considered to be one of the the most influential skateboarders of all time, Tony Alva, an original Z-Boy, hit a bottom 4 years ago battling drug addiction and alcoholism. There, at his lowest point, his reliance on successes and ego came into perspective for the first time. Tony’s fight for sobriety and truth has recently lead him to a new perspective on life and direction moving forward. Dedicated to giving back Tony now see’s passing the bucket as the only way out.”

Today I would like to present you a short movie which was posted yesterday by company run by worldly known skateboard company "Vans" and professional skateboarder Tony Alva. Since skateboard is a new thing for me (half year only), I've never heard about this Hippy looking old guy when I was watching this movie for the first time. For me, his movie was inspirational and I'm glad for people who change their lives to better, people who stop at the edge and realize that they shouldn't give up life, inspiring many teenagers stay out from drugs, gangs to change their lifestyle for better. Most of people would ask "Who is this hippy look a like old man?". My answer would be simple: "This is Tony Alva, one of the most inspirational skateboarders of all time and the world's professional skateboard Champion, the title which he received in 1977" ;) After years and years of skateboarding this man runs his company with "Vans" in pour neighbourhoods all over the world to put smile on a face of youngsters who choose skate, sun and friends over TV, drugs and alcohol and I think ;) Tony Alva thank you today and enjoy your video here, Livin' Positive ;)
