Love Theotis!
He seems like one of the most talented, humble and amazingly chill dudes ever. Like all he wants, is to skate, take care of his family and chill with his friends.
This dude was so young in Baker 3, its sick to see his story and how he came up
Lol family didn't really support his skating growing up and he now he pays for everything through skateboarding, only a short vid but seems like a solid dude.
it's sad.. he's taking care of his sisters, they kids and they HUSBANDS!!!
@@MizTheDonGargonI'm sure they're helping out splitting the rent. You can tell the mom didn't raise him to be no dummy.
@@ShogunateDaimyo I dunno bro... it's common in the black community to have one breadwinner supporting like 5 or 6 other extended family members and their partners, who are all living with them
Do more of this.
There are TONS of Epicly Later'd on Vice. About one a month, roughly. Check them out!
He seems like such a nice guy.
These are the kind of people who should be "Epicly Later'd". He comes from a bad area with crime around him, but he didn't give in to peer pressure and he became successful. Its's just inspirational and inspires people in the same situations to achieve their goals to.
This has to be my favorite VICE skate segment so far. It's cute hearing from his mom lol.
Such on honor to meet this Kid, wow. I think hes one of my favorite, not only because of his amazing talent, but the attitude that brought it to him. He really inspires me
nothing better than seeing an epicly later'd pop up in your subscriptions
there needs to be one of these done on Beagle he's the fuckin man behind. The baker camera I'm sure alot of people wanna hear his story .. He's hilarious. And very. Underrated
Beagle is the fuckin man, he made Baker... Baker with his van and his VX.
My grandparents built their first house in Inglewood after WW2. They left in the 50s when they saw the influx of crime starting. I talk to my dad and he has fond memories of his neighborhood and growing up there. Too bad it's such a mess.
Its refreshing to see a humble respectful young pro. Stay real homie
As a black kid skating in the 80s I was always called a whiteboy. But now it's accepted, damn times have changed
Skate and hip hop alwayd had a relation so idk why they would call u that
love these so much, glad to see more of them getting uploaded recently
Respect to this dude and accomplishing his dreams.
PLEASE LUAN OLIVEIRA!! he always comes off as such a smart, humble, funny, creative skater. id love to hear his back story. without a doubt he has one of, if not, the best style in skating today
luan
Always look forward to these, one of the reasons why I subscribed to Vice.
This made me tear up such a beautiful story man.
Damn I remember when Baker 3 came out. I feel so old. REN REN.
Bruh I remember when Baker 2G came out on vhs

Aye you got me
@@alextoddskates you chump lol you got showed up
imagine skating inglewood shit would be intense.
As a kid I’d watch his part on Baker on repeat!
Crazy too see how it all happened!
I remember i went to the Premiere when Baker 3 was barely released. At the local skateshop called Bill's Wheels. I was real young too. Im 22 now. I'm glad to see this dude become successful despite being from the "ghetto". Much Respect.
Dope, love these videos even tho I dont know how to skate
Big up to TB for supporting his family! Steeeeezy skating too
Awesome more please
one of the dopest and most humble dudes in the game.
HELL YEA finally the homie gets on epicly later'd well deserved and u betta beleedat lol
Honestly, I think its dope he looks out for his family but it looks and sounds as if his whole family just mooching off him. Like I get taking care of his moms but damn, his sister be married and he takes care of her AND her husband. Damn son!
If you came up from where he came from then would know EXACTLY why he is still with his family...
@@Karma3500 You mean because his family won't get jobs and pay their own bills? Or because his family doesn't want to spend their welfare money on rent? Either way, his family is taking advantage of him. He's just too nice to put his foot down and say enough is enough.
It's ok. They're all on ssi and food stamps
Thats dope!
much respect little homie
What a guy 💪
theotis is an awesome dude
dope keep this up
theotis is awesome!
What a good kid with his head on his shoulders but how can he not see his family is seriously taking advantage of him
They're not taking advantage. His family was still in financial instability, the parents and residents of the house would pay bills. He just stepped in and payed some of them.
Dumbest thing I've heard ever
you owe everything to your mom and parents man
Seriously!
Milk Bone stop being white
I was 13 in France watching that baker 3 part ..
I'm still unsure how he can be so good at such a young age
should do one on AVE and DILL together
Meh Dills egotistical enigma already had one. complaining about how hard it is to skate in NY.... How is it hard to fuckin skate in a city that fuckin kids travel across the world to too skate.. It's probably pretty hard to skate when your taking photos of yourself all the time with little black kids.
Mazzodude hey man you need to chill have you ever skated NY
You’re watching a video about one dude telling (them) to do someone else? Just enjoy the moment idiot.
One of the most down to earth cats I ever met! At the "Tyga Show" @ Belascos Dtla...I'm like dude u supposed to be backstage or some shit...he like nah I'm up here chillin wit my fam! Cool cat!
good dude
Theotis is the man
Very Wise!!
Very impressive
I wanna see more videos like this...but also in other sports..surfing, snow, jiu jitsu...good shit
This video is missing music
those women are leaching off him

Baker feels like a proper family. That's really cool

Nice vid.Dreams do come true just keep believing.
Holy fuck! I remember Baker 3 came out and saw his part. I can't believe that was you! lol
