Limit Break - Skateboarding Friars

Limit Break is a web series about people who do extraordinary things, and how their faith inspires them. In this episode, we meet Friar Didacus and Friar Gabriel, two brothers who skateboard and were called to religious life.
The brothers skated for 7 years as teenagers but felt their vocation was religious life. They were prepared to abandon their passion for skateboarding to live a life of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience as Friars of the Immaculate. Six years after becoming Friars and having not skated, they were given obedience to obtain a skateboard and go to the skatepark once a week - to "preach the gospel at all times, when necessary, use words" as Saint Francis stated. Friar Gabriel explains that God has so many ways of using people's talents to give Him glory. Skateboarding allows the Friars to help others see the compatibility of exercising the body as well as the soul. Friar Didacus reflects that if he had always tried to live in a state of grace growing up, he would have been far better at skating and enjoyed it much more- because his mind would have been clear and at peace.

The editing of this video is so fun and really blows me back. When I think the action is going to go one way, like a spill and then it reverses the action. The flames of course are a great addition and the creation of the letter blocks are so well done. Super unique editing and gritty music. Well done. (Of course, let’s not forget that the camera guy did well filming too)

@@SpiritJuice by the way, your video of Fr. Josemaria’s ordination was stunningly beautiful. He has such a sunny personality and is very dear to me.

I used to rollerblade when all my friends skated.
Back then, in the 90’s it was tough to blade with skaters… I think it’s a little more common now for skaters, bladers, scooters and bmx riders to share a space… even if they don’t all share the same ride.
Ave Maria
