“Not A Damn Chance” - Onnit Interviews Pro Skater Neen Williams
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Remember the skateboarders on your street when you were growing up? They were probably the first kind of stuntmen you ever saw outside of a TV screen, turning your block into an obstacle course and landing death-defying tricks until the sky got dark-and even then they didn’t stop. They may have also been the first people your mom told you to stay away from, as drinking, drugs, and tattoos tend to be a part of the lifestyle. But Neen Williams, a pro skater and entrepreneur has been changing that “skater punk” stereotype ever since an ACL injury caused him to prioritize his health and career longevity.
Williams, 34, is now a bonafide fitness influencer as well as a boarder, getting as much attention online for posts on how he’s working out and what he’s eating for dinner as he is for his heel flip catches and handrail grindsWilliams visited Onnit to discuss how he changed his habits, and how he can help other aspiring skaters do the same, improve their tricks, and make a living doing what they love.

As someone with ADHD battles with substance abuse and addiction, I relate to Neen heavily. His experience is very similar to my own and it’s so awesome seeing someone who has turned their life around in the best way possible. Nothing but respect!
Props to Neen on being able to take a critical look at his lifestyle and making drastic changes. Not an easy task and very inspiring to others.
Man, Neen is such an awesome dude, loved this interview. Wish the FP Footwear wasn't sold out all the time though, I would love to try them out.
Dennis Hellebaut get on the site. Shoes just dropped.
Congrats to neen for cleaning up! his Instagram activity is inspiring me to make change! It’s a hard long road though!
Best interview ever. Congratulations 👏
I was curious about Neen's story after following Ten Thousand CC & Onnit and glad I was able to find this interview... inspirational and it definitely motivates me to get out there and stay active!
Neen is just one of those dudes!!!Good vibes all around for sure!!!
Neen seems like exactly my type of guy - props to him for turning it around!! Really inspiring! He’s such a well-spoken and genuine person. Great interview👌🏻
Awesome. super inspiring! Gonna workout right now
Heck yeah, Neen killing it!
Great interview!
We need neen on the JRE
Inspiration foreal 💪🏼
GREAT INTERVIEW...
Neen is the man!
"I dont know, you know?
I always just kinda go with the flow.
You know?"
The thing that is interesting about that, is if you listen to anyone speak they all have a different word that say over and over without even noticing.
Neen rules!
I love this guy
Ironically, the ad before the vid started was a Miller light ad.
Would love to hear Neen interviewed by Kingsbu.
geeeeeeet it Neen !!
Legend
Neen! That’s cool
Dude inspiring me to get dreads day 2
Me too bro
Such a cool guy. Definitely in my top 5 favorite skaters. Am I the only one who sees some similarities so Tyler, the Creator?
you know. you know .you know youknowyouknowyouknow.
I have the same hand tattoo haha just noticed 😂
Neens a legit dude
👏👏👏
Not a damn chance! 😂
27:08 haha fucken neen x)
Weck is the real person that fused skating and weight lifting 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Neen would be a Rogan disciple lmao.....Moved to Austin as did Joe and is wearing an Onnit shirt (Joe's a partner in that company).
From my my license
✌🏽
I drank like him for two days and got alcohol poisoning
Last man standing lol yea right
Should get him on the podcast with Aubrey Marcus
Onnit is expensive snake oil
Good interview, bad directing
Wear a helmet.
I hope that's a joke.
They are definitely a recommendation for a beginner and a lot of skaters who have been skating a long time wear helmets. There’s no shame in the helmet game if that’s what your comfortable with.
Neen doesn’t seem comfortable with it along with many others and that’s okay. You’d really have to skate to fully understand where he’s coming from.
It’s dope that he’s trying to simplify it the best he can. He’s awesome for that.
@@jalen1973 Nope it's not a joke. A joke is not wearing a helmet. I've seen "pro" skaters fall and hit the back of their head without a helmet and resulting in hospitalization. It can happen to anyone. The only reason I could think of as to why you wouldn't wear a helmet is it may make your ego feel uncomfortable.
