What are you planning to buy with that gold medal? Think about it! You motivated me to start doing pyramid bigspins again. I was doing them eyes closed at my young age...now i'm old and beat up. Will you come see the TAZ while you'll be near?
LOVE that I happen to stumble upon this video just a few days before the contest in Ontario (and I am also a female skater in Canada). We definitely do need more people like her in the community... she rocks 🤟 And so do you, Mike... I still think your videos are the best for entertainment, travel, and skate-related content on UA-cam! 👌❤
What a great content…. Mike deserves a praise considering how you present this video and really exposes the many sides and perspectives of skateboarding. I’m not a skater but i just love to watch your videos, i also noticed how your video style became clearer and clearer from the start, it’s really interesting to notice the progress here and thr…
Dude! Great work on this! I miss skating, my knees don't. But it made me tear. To be honest. Definitely captured the land of smiles. Thank you! I'll always share the message. 🎉 stoked!
when she said she doesn't belong it reminded me of this Rodney Mullen quote: "Skaters, I think they tend to be outsiders who seek a sense of belonging, but belonging on their own terms, and real respect is given by how much we take what other guys do, these basic tricks, 360 flips, we take that, we make it our own, and then we contribute back to the community the inner way that edifies the community itself. The greater the contribution, the more we express and form our individuality. Which is so important to a lot of us who feel like rejects to begin with. The summation of that gives us something we could never achieve as an individual. There's some sort of beautiful symmetry that the degree to which we connect to a community is in proportion to our individuality which we are expressing in what we do."
That hit home on so many levels. Everyone I knew who skated with me during my teens and early adulthood came into skateboarding for those exact reasons and it saved many of us from so much pain. It was our way of escaping and not going down paths that would've ruined us. Forever grateful that my sister stopped using her skateboard and I managed to snag it at age 7-8.
I think she is saying when she saying she does not feel like she belong its more of a identify crises being half Thai ( Luk korn) in which she will be reminded everyday of her life from the Thais that she is a Luk Korn and will be accepted but not as accepted ..
@@Theskatenomad my offer for some custom leatherwork stands. If you need something reach out. I have low cash flow but I’m decent at making useful things!!!
I am glad your channel came across my feed. I am not a skater myself, but I have always admired skaters ever since growing up in California as a kid. I'm not wired for the thrill and the dedication the way you all are, but I can still draw inspiration from your skill and from the amazing philosophy of life that many skaters have. I am happy to subscribe to your channel.
Great footage and story thank you for sharing! Funny she said that she has a Belgian parent, as somebody from there myself i could kinda tell in her English accent, awesome content
@@Theskatenomad& since you visit brunei the other day, a lot of bruneians is back with skateboarding again this week, good news bro for the skate community here 👍🏻
no golden ticket for the crocodiles in Borneo? haha. Monsieur Mike mate, this video is nice, she's a solid skater gurl with substance & the food looks good too. I'm hungry! Merci beaucoup!
Question for you @skatenomad -- How do you travel with a skateboard through airports and customs? do you only build your boards once you've arrived in locations or disassemble them? I'm looking to get back into skating but moving so trying to figure out what's best. Appreciate any tips from you or anyone! Big love 🧡🛹🌟
Hey man! I have my own travel skatebag that i check in. That’s what i recommended, if not just buy a board where you going and bring your own trucks and wheels
Memories of my youth 45 years ago. My wife is Thai and we have a house in Bangkok as well as Australia. I will refrain from visiting the skate parks, 20 year old mind in a 60 year old body is not a good combination. I don't bounce on the pavement as well as I used to. I am happy to see the parks are open to all, not just the rich kids.😅
@@Theskatenomad I can if I dare. I do more motorcycle touring in my old age. Since the age of 40 I have ridden thousands of kilometres around Thailand, across into Laos and the Northern Border with Myanmar known as 'The Golden Triangle'. Still surfing as well, when you grew up in Sydney, then moved north to live next to an uncrowded beach, it's very difficult to get the beach out of the boy (stops me getting fat on Thai food also).
rich girl from belgium told us about thailand. What she know about life in thailand? she is rich. she have all she wanna and she can play in skateboard instead of work hard to live next day. she know nothing.
"Everybody deserves a chance to skate" That mindset will takes her far, love hearing that. To those from a country where skating is an expensive sport, really appreciate her saying that.
I often tell people "skateboarding saved my life", they often laugh; it's not a joke , it true for me, it's true for others,. This was a great segment, thanks you.
honestly your videos are so sick. we'd never know about these people or these skate scenes around the world otherwise. Ora has a great personality and she's super good at skating. keep it going!
What a dope video! And Orapan is such a good host. The places you guys went are really awesome, I love how conscious the park is about people's earnings and allowing people to come skate for free. So thoughtful! Definitely deserves the ticket!
So nice to see pure positive GIRLPOWER! Thailand is a hard country to make money for a girl without a proper education, so this makes me warm inside from this positive film& I wish her all the best!! Chok dee from Pratheeth Sweden! 👊👊❤✌
Hello Nong Orapan!! Ajarn Joe here. I live in Don Muang with my Thai wife. I've been living here since 2006. Shan rak pathet Thai!! People like you are the reason why I live here.
Are you still in Thailand? I tried skating in Bangkok, but it's just too hot, I get heath strokes after 3 tricks line. Would love to find a fresh and shady skatepark! :)
Inspirational. I’m on my second hiatus. Only 53. Phil is 64? Precision skates. Money grubbing scumbags since ‘86 longest lasting skate shop in all of America. Phil is my hero
Um, I come from Wheels. I roller skated from 13-37 At about 24, I started manufacturing wheels for my best friends family. (FYI all skateboard wheel technology comes from rollerskate tech. My second family is the Labedas. They make a lot of the wheels out there especially for downhill. I also worked for Bravo who also made wheels for so many people. There are a lot of people who say they manufacture wheels, but only a few actually do it. Is she sponsored for wheels? I feel like I wanna help. Are you sponsored for wheels? Loved Skate boarding long before I was a good skater. Being from Southern California, I have known more than a few pros. Used to see Pierre all the time before he started Etnies, Don as well....lol when they were just normal folk like us. My wife is thai, and we are headed Bangkok monday.........
I checked out the shop, I'm sure shes' got the wheels thing handled. I see a lot of powell for sale, My buddy Dean Huffman worked for powell in the day and he was supposedly the guy who signed Tony Hawk. RIP Deano....
@@Theskatenomad no worries last time I reached out to my buddies after seeing a downhill girl in Colombia and my buddies laughed because they already sponsored her.
2:15 wait what is that trick called?! its not a pressure flip, right? she still flicks with her front foot. it's and inward heel but she flicks it with her toes.
@@Theskatenomad do you think it should get a new name? it almost looks like a different trick, it probably feels pretty different too but i can't inward heel
Thank you! @theskatenomad

She should promote skateboards for all genders not just girls!!
I can assure you that she does
You should wear helmet when driving motocycle
Yes

A lot of judgement, you know nothing.
Maybe when you title a video AMAZING you should try to show at least 1 amazing thing lmao cuz you didn't
😂😂
What company does she skate for

Hey what your Facebook

"Everybody deserves a chance to skate"
That mindset will takes her far, love hearing that.
To those from a country where skating is an expensive sport, really appreciate her saying that.
I totally agree!! 🙏🙏
Been in Thailand 10 years and you have shown me new skate spots. Awesome what you do for the skate community.
Happy to hear that! Thank you so much
4:37 of course she likes it. i see what you did there mike
I’m not sure that i know what you mean?

I appreciate that so much!! Giving a platform to skater to shine is my mission
Thank you, can we keep spreading kind words 😩😭♥️
What a dope video! And Orapan is such a good host. The places you guys went are really awesome, I love how conscious the park is about people's earnings and allowing people to come skate for free. So thoughtful! Definitely deserves the ticket!
Thanks so much!! Totally agree with that
Excellent skater! great show! lets go!
Thanks!! A lot for the support
She belongs both in Thailand and Belgium because you know when she hits the international competition stage they're both claiming her 100%.
That is right that she has a double nationality, which is cool
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaabuddy!
Helll yeah thanks
she's so sick. love her style
Hell yeah same!
She needs to get put on.... Give her some flo or somethin. She got pro swag about her. Always excellent content brother🙏
I’m doing the best with what i can. I don’t even have sponsor myself beside Jackalope
When he pulled up at the end and she was like “yo yo… girls night! “ seem like she was trying to shake him lmao. She was hella cool though
Ahah i don’t know what that mean! But yes she is cool
🙌🏽

I LOOOVED this! Great video, and Go Ora!! 🤙
