Neen Williams - Rouler pour toujours
Neen Williams raconte comment sa jeunesse, ses déboires et son amour pour le skateboard ont forgé l’homme qu’il est aujourd’hui. - Спорт
Can’t wait for the deathwish x Lululemon collab
this made me snort laugh
Lets go
OH NAW
lululemon you need to bring neen back as an ambassador!
You dont need to be pro and make money and be famous to have this energy. Life is beautiful in the fact that we can just be without being anything. Love skate, it's all you need.
so nice,thanks.so love it.😜
yeah neen! get that lulu paper
@PogChamp He's a smart man who cares about his health.
@PogChamp He's never had a real job so it was either clean up, or get a 9-5. Everyone has to grow up at some point. I'm glad he took his injury as a wakeup call, and didn't continue down the pile lifestyle like so many other pros.
Neen inspires me to look after my body, hit that quality nutrition, stretch and keep skating at age 30 and beyond :)
Wish I would have done things for my body like him. I just turned 32 on Sunday. On the 6th of May the Tuesday before my birthday I had been at the skatepark for 10 minutes before a freak accident happened. Was going down a bank to get speed and somehow my board started to slip out from under me. My back foot got back on it but it ended up slipping out again leaving my body to free fall to the flat about 7 feet. My right leg landed first instantly hearing snaps. Wasn't sure how bad it was until the x-rays. Dislocated my ankle,broke my Tibia in half and shattered my Fibula. Now I've got a rod going from my knee to my ankle with multiple screws to keep it together. I may never walk the same again or even skate again it's so bad. So yes take care of your body cause shit can happen and change your life in a millisecond.
And sell you stupid yoga pants.
I’ve loved Neen for years I loved his skating style and it bummed me when he kinda started partying but now that he started this path it inspired me to care for myself and maybe supporting a brand that supports a skater to better himself is a good thing.
Hey there,
I'm stoked to hear Neen inspired you in more ways than just skating. Keep crushing the self-care game!
Cheers,
Sarah
I feel I'm going through the same thing! Quitting the drinking and partying to get back my love for skateboarding, and my mental and spiritual health! Way to go bro with an inspiration!
He's such an inspirational person
What point of Neen's journey hits home with you the most?
-Sydney
Lol cringing hard
@@lululemon it hits the feels 😂🤣
you should watch Nick Tucker’s push part. he gave me a board because he was spending christmas with my neighbors. but the guys a really nice and genuine person. watch his push part you won’t regret it.
Honest opinion, lululemon makes some of the best functional athletic wear for men and women.
I wear their shorts for skateboarding, they look and feel great and no one can tell what brand they are so I don’t get any judgy looks ever.
Truth is, you have to try their clothes to understand how above everyone else they are.
When you’re grown enough to not care about the cool factor of a brand when choosing clothes, you’ll get it.
I appreciate your honest review of our gear, Jeremy and I'm stoked to hear how our shorts in particular are supporting your skateboarding lifestyle. When you find something that works, nothing else matters.
-Kendall
...nah man.
Jeremy Archambault agreed man, those lulu shorts are seriously comfy and athletic
Lululemon: *Scratches out first number, writes new number and folds paper, slides it to Neen* Are you SURE the skateboarding community isn't ready for a yoga brand?
haha they added a zero
Seriously. Skateboarding stop being cool in the early 90s
@tl 074 I don't know what edge Lord means. I'm over 25.
It sounds like you've really drank the Kool-Aid here. You have totally Fallen to the marketing Ploy that buying there clothes somehow I Associates you with better physical health.
@tl 074 they're selling you clothing that goes on to your body. That's all it is. You are getting so sucked into their b*******.
@tl 074 You're being foolish and naive. Or maybe you are some type of plant being paid by them. They don't give a s*** about you and your health or lifestyle. They want to sell you a piece of clothing and make money and provide value for shareholders.
Neen is such a fucking inspiration. He came back to his essentials.
I quit drinking almost a year and a half ago. Drinking took skateboarding from me more or less some years ago, but leaving alcohol alone and doing yoga has brought skating back for me.
Thank you for sharing your story, Marck. I'm so happy to hear that yoga has helped propel you towards your best self and brought a love of skateboarding back into your life. Keep it up!
-Lauren
Marck Ferrari - I stopped drinking two years ago. I was made to understand the time. 333
Congrats man! Now you must try smack and to slowly hookin on it. it's perfect combo for keeping you thin and fit! Also works great preppin you for the routine of handling needles,before you'll step up your game! steroids and all kinds of chemicals + bodybuilding/skateboarding/fitness & yoga. You'll soon see how good and healthy that transition is for you, your soul, your body & mind! Don't give up to quick if you ran out of money, just skate harder and faster to your local mini market or bank office and rob those bastards! And voila man,thats the best way and the best fitness program you can get for free on this world wide webbb
ps. Alot of people just work on this fitness/workout program exactly same(cocaine,crack,heroin...) but without skateboarding, just couchsurfing and shit😆 good luck with the nice new results coming through 😀😉
Much love and respect out of South Dakota ✊ keep pushing neen we need you for skateboarding
I back this 100% Neen, keep striving for a better you every day and making choices that will keep you on the board for a long time. Awesome to see this!
Thanks for sharing those good vibes, Tedd. We're stoked to have Neen on board.
-Lauren
Neen is the man! Super inspirational, a big influence on my life and habits and turning it all around more positively.
I'm so happy to hear that Neen has had such a positive influence on your life, Christian. I love the way that he recognized where he was in his life and set goals for where he wanted to be. Mindfulness and dedication are so key in my opinion.
-Kendall
💯 💪
so nice,thanks.so love it.😜
Such an inspiring soul! My favorite skater of the moment, because he embodies life as it's intented. Humble and sincere. Much love Neen!
Powerful story, thanks for sharing. #skateforever 💯🙏
so dope! keep living and sk8ing 4eva
Hope you can skate forever dude !
Thank you Neen! I gained so much weight letting go. I still skate but it ain’t the same. It’s more of a challenge. This is the hype I needed to get my body mind and soul back on the grind to do what I have a passion for in my life. Thanks Homie
Neen is dope. I'm 8 years on this sober journey and as an athlete now in my 30s I would leave 20s me in the freakin dust. Every time. Watch out. Neen is just gonna get better and better.
Good on you and good on Neen. Best decision I ever made was putting that stuff behind me long ago.
This was great🤙
This dude heelflips like he's been skating in Lu's his whole life! Yeah Neen GET ITTTTT
Congratulations Neen!!
Really inspiring Neen! In the movie The Razors Edge the monk says to Larry that the path to enlightenment is like walking on the edge of a razor. I’m glad you found the keener side of that blade. I’m 55 and still skating and was also inspired by your commitment to your health, which is something I think a lot about these days. Thanks for taking the time to make the vids!
Makes me happy to see someone your age still skateboarding. I know skateboarding will be a part of me forever
Neen is a great inspiration to me to try and choose healthy things. Great video.
Truly inspirational
Great story!
So inspiring. Seeing Neen change the way he did made me want to run every single day. Just so I can skate forever. I train and stretch regularly for skateboarding ❤️
I'm so happy to hear how Neen's journey has inspired your own, Tommy. Thank you for taking the time to share your story with skateboarding with us, too.
-Camilla
I got sober in September of 2013 from booze. When Neen talks about getting rid of all the friends that you party with and do a 180-degree turn. It's hard but you gotta do it. It's not easy Neen is a great teacher and role model.
Hi Seymour grapes,
I so appreciate you taking the time to share your own personal journey with us, and I'm really happy to hear what a positive role model you see Neen as-I couldn't agree more.
-Camilla
@@lululemon wow! Thank you for commenting back. This makes me very happy. Thank you guys for all you do with health and lifestyle. Also Neens awesome ninja Kickflips and heelflips were made possible by yoga. So thanks for that too.
Anytime, Seymore grapes!
-Heather
heel flips n stretchy pants: the musical
Billy du Fartbox haha like a cards against humanity hand 😂
Inspiring dude..👌
Cool to see Neen inspire beyond skating.
Lot of people don’t have the drive it takes to wane off their vices, respect to anyone who does and can. Everyday we’re getting better
Very cool Neen, very cool.
So true! What a glad textonmy ! Live your jude bro
Neen you will forever be a legend bro💜
Can you please make a documentary on Neen? He's such an inspiration
Hi Thomas,
I'm stoked to hear you're finding Neen so inspirational, and I'm right there with you on that. I'd love to pass your fresh idea to make a documentary along to our ambassador team-we never say never.
-Camilla
Skating is my meditation, praise jah!
Neen is the man!!
If anyone didn't know, neen has a health and wellness / skate channel!
Beautiful
This is so damned good.
The stoke level is real-thanks for sharing the love.
-Sarah
Glad you are on the right path now.
I remember seeing him some 15yrs ago
My skate hero
Didn’t know this but I’m happy you made it out then trenches lmao. Keep it up Neen
Bring Neen back!
inspiring dude
Resilient, driven, and genuine to his core-he embodies #thesweatlife.
I'm 36 n just now getting the same mindset, also I'm not a skater
Best heelflips ever
Proud of him!
Hi R osso,
I'm stoked to see you supporting Neen so positively. I know I'm grateful to have him as our new ambassador, inspiring and uplifting our community.
-Camilla
@@lululemon Hope the best for him, and for you guys! Big hugs!
Thanks for spreading the positive vibes and love, R osso.
-Kim
Neen is a good dude.
Yeah Neen!
Shoot, felt like it just started, was waiting for a full blown badass documentary. Video is dope tho.
Thanks for sharing the love, Ashton. I could definitely watch a whole documentary about Neen-I'll put in a good word with the social team.
-Eliza
Hell yeah Neen
only when You stop drinking can You fathom how much it affects the mind...Real Talk
yup now it is official, skateboarding is going to be in 2020 summer olympic games. yet another corporate company going for a run for the money...
imagine andrew reynold throwing down frontside flips down a set while rocking some lululemon gear...
I thought the channel hosting this video was satire but it's actually legit lululemon. I'm just as confused as you. This wave of Skateboarding's transformed into a major prostitute-esque sell out. Not a good combo with the current mix of trendy bs slapped onto it.
@@soundoverdose3134 balance and composure. Nice
An inspiration for the South LA scene
He has us feeling pretty inspired too, Brandon.
-Caitlin
Stuck in rehab for 10 more months came from jail and literary skating and progressing influenced the partying to where I lost everything except my board and how it is to skate sober and talk about every mistake I done. I wish I just kept with skating and smoking pot... maybe one day
Lululemon bring back shorts with the cool prints. All I see now are solid colors. I want shorts with some drip 💧 again.
Hey Dj Sickbeatz,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out with that feedback. We hear you loud and clear, and can let the design team know that you're after some prints.
If you have any other suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach back out.

What’s the reggae song at the 1:55 mark?
Hi Ethan,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out. I hear you're feeling that beat that our content team added to this video. I'll be sure to let them know that you'd like the details shared in the description of this video.
If there is anything else you'd like me to pass along to the team, please don't hesitate to reach out.
- Kathleen
@@lululemon Just always add credit?
Thanks for sharing this feedback with us-we'll ensure your voice is heard and will certainly take this into consideration for future posts.
-Lauren
anyone knows the song at the end?
I'm feeling this mix too, Edwin-our video editing team is always throwing in fresh tracks that keep us on our toes.
-Kendall
It's nice. Would you ask them for the name of the track?
Great news-I tracked down the song and it's S.O.G. by AmirSaysNothing.
-Lauren
I started skateboarding around 1964. We used to take roller skates and cut them in half with a hack saw, then nail them to 2 by 4's. Skateboarding wasn't allowed and we would place people on fence posts at either end of the street to watch for the police. When someone saw them we yelled "cheezit, the cops." There is nothing quite like seeing a dozen skateboards go flying underneath cars on the street and people diving in behind bushes to hide so they wouldn't get caught.
On the right side, I have recently been diagnosed type II diabetic. Too many coca-colas while building one of the first ever streaming video websites. I have been able to get my type II down to being just about cured. Follow the keto diet, you'll have a sugar hangover for about a month. See Susan Hallberg's YT video cure for diabetes.
I make my own coconut bread, chocolates and other foods, sugar free using stevia a natural healthy sweetener.
I have a two hundred dollar custom board now, and my original Hang Ten my dad gave me with Chicago Trucks and Cadillac wheels. Stay true. Telling the truth means you can be trusted. Don't piss off the police. They don't need it and neither do you.

interesting story, vimeo link seems to be down though. Keto can cure diabetes type 2 for sure!
right on dont ever get back in that hole big ups
so nice,thanks.so love it.😜
got a track id on that reggae beat?
Hey Raphael,
I hear you're digging the fresh beat in our video. While our video editing team is always throwing in catchy tracks that keep us on our toes, I'll be sure to let them know that you'd like the details shared in the descriptions. If there is anything else you'd like me to pass along to the team, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Best,
-Stacy
@@lululemon People have already asked this question before and have gotten the same response, therefore it wasn't taken and is still not taken seriously. Great vid and vid editing with tracks, but it's not that hard to provide a track id if you say you're going to do it
Hey Raphael,
I understand you've seen similar responses from us about sharing feedback with the video editing team. We've shared it with them, so they can share the details of the tracks going forward, on new videos that are released. For this particular video, they have their lips sealed at the moment.
-Shy
I wish he road for habitat
Quite the better fit!!!!!
I do miss the days when almost all skaters were like rock stars on a path to self-destruction.
Song?
Hey Ethan,
Our production team curated the tunes to make this video-we don't have a specific artist or song title available.
-Heather
Neen rips. Chip Wilson sucks and his company makes comfortable and ugly clothes that cost way too much money. Skateboarding doesn't need Lululemon.
Yessir
Hey there,
It sounds like your experience as an educator hasn't been positive, and I would love to learn more about it, so I can ensure you feel supported in your role. Which store are you at? I'd love to pass feedback on to them.
-Shy
Thanks for letting me know that you're experiencing this at our distribution centre in Groveport, Ohio. I'll make sure the warehouse team is looped in on your feedback.
-Shy
I'm happy to hear you've already reached out to the appropriate teams.
-Shy
@J. Mtz sounds like you might've just learned not to bad mouth the company you work for.
Eric Andre is a man of many faces.
i’d skate in my abc’s if they weren’t 128 fcking dollars
"I had to change my whole life ...like 180" lol congrats tho man
What he said is correct lol
Skin side down
Neen rules and this stuff looks hella comfortable to skate in
I'm digging your positive vibes, Steve. Which gear are you hoping to test out in the half pipe?
-Kendall
5 mins of skate footage would've been fine
LEYKIS 101!!!
Keep up the good work Neen. Shut up and take my money Lulu
