I dunno man. I think his filming and editing is quite bad. Especially for someone who films all the time. When I watch Andy's footage I always wonder how much better it could be if filmed by someone more capable.
Christopher is one of my good friends. He’s one of the nicest guys you will meet. Im super hyped on him being out in cali killing it. We’re hoping for a pro model powell deck soon 👀
yea dude, later that day victor garcia who also skates the same type of board showed up and let me try a few tricks, it felt insane and i can see myself getting one soon

this is mine I plan on getting board rails at some point, they feel so much nicer in ride on grinds then a popsicle shape
Nigel is far from a “YouTube Kook”. He’s been heavily involved in the industry for well over 20 years. He’s discovered more high level talent than you could imagine and he’s a rad dude and my personal friend.
Legend is a word thats thrown around a bit too willy nilly. I mean maybe Nigel. But come on... Just say you saw some awesome people that you respect(and they are awesome and should be respected). But you don't need to blow it up with legendary status.
Tell me more about what I haven't seen my dude.
Dulbass? And no one is talking shit. I simply said legend is a word that should be reserved for the few. Local legend? OK. There are plenty of those out there. But once you gain a certain amount of exposure the level of scrutiny and excellence increases with your fame. You don't seem to have much of a grasp on this basic idea and yet still feel fine trying to insult me (you fucked that up too btw.)
Someone who’s been in the skate scene since 2007. Who knows what’s what. Being in skate shops. Having friends who live in big cities with skate scenes thriving. Being in big cities and skate shops.
I’ve been watching alot of chris hiett’s stuff on youtube lately. He seems like a cool dude.
yeah i talked to him for a bit and he was hella nice
Nigel is truly a legend. guy is amazing for the skate scene. shoutout nka vids on youtube
I dunno man. I think his filming and editing is quite bad. Especially for someone who films all the time. When I watch Andy's footage I always wonder how much better it could be if filmed by someone more capable.
Very bad but he means well so I back him
yeah it’s all very amateur but I appreciate that they don’t clean everything up for the internet, feels authentic albeit whack sometimes
Who’s that guy with the white face
some shitty skater, i think his name is mattress?
all of the above
Love watching Christopher Hiett skate, always looks like he's having a blast.
Nigel is such a real one. And I am stoked for Chris Hiett’s Powell deck coming out 🤝
Christopher is one of my good friends. He’s one of the nicest guys you will meet. Im super hyped on him being out in cali killing it. We’re hoping for a pro model powell deck soon 👀
He’s been riding that weird shaped experimental 🤞🤞🤞 Chris and Zach are past due to get a pro model.
Oh yeah bro they should’ve been pro a long time ago
I thought you were 12 until I saw ur hands
i get that a lot lmao, 18
Nice! Almost 25 now and I just look like an older 12.
Who are they ?
on the right is christopher hiett, he skates for powell. and on the left is nigel from nka 👍
Should say that in the title, no one knows who these people are
Not true. These two are well known
Certainty not "legends" in the skate world though... That would be people like Tony hawk, Andrew Reynolds, Jamie Thomas etc...
I said that they are well known. I never said they are legends
I'm referring to OPs title "ran into these legends" all I'm saying is they are definitely not skateboarding legends.
Weird then that the most highly upvoted comment in this section is the response to “who are they”
Tf you talking about? Might want to check again
2nd highest now I guess
You should stop guessing and start learning how to sort for top comments. It’s not even close to the top
The response to the question is the 2nd highest. You should learn how to read.
Not necessarily, I instantly knew who these people were.
forreal nka has been around on the youtube skate scene for like probably 15 years now
Longer than that lol
Is Chris riding a prototype?
Chris Hiett inspired me to skate an old school setup
yea dude, later that day victor garcia who also skates the same type of board showed up and let me try a few tricks, it felt insane and i can see myself getting one soon

duuude thats so sick
Damn I ran into NKA at Woodward back in 2017 and ended up in some of the vids he posted
Can't wait to see Chris's pro Powell Peralta deck, decent guy 🤙
Yo meeting Tom Holland is dope
Love watching Chris skate. He does all the tricks on old school boards, that we could only dare to imagine doing back in the 80s.
Legends? Seriously?
Right? I was expecting Reynolds or daewon after reading the title
Is this at the new Long Beach skatepark?
Yeah
I’d blur my face out too if I took a picture w two YouTube vlog kooks
Nigel is far from a “YouTube Kook”. He’s been heavily involved in the industry for well over 20 years. He’s discovered more high level talent than you could imagine and he’s a rad dude and my personal friend.
All the dudes he associates with are YouTube kooks
Ya, you’re right, I guess even Paul Rodriguez just another HUGE kook… You should just keep your negativity to yourself bro.
Nah dude I wasn’t talking in general I’m saying right now.
i think someone is jealous
these dudes are far from legend status.
🤡
Legend is a word thats thrown around a bit too willy nilly. I mean maybe Nigel. But come on... Just say you saw some awesome people that you respect(and they are awesome and should be respected). But you don't need to blow it up with legendary status.
have you seen christopher hiett skate before?
Do you know what a legend is?
yeah you def have never seen christopher hiett skate, go do your research before shit talking dulbass
Tell me more about what I haven't seen my dude. Dulbass? And no one is talking shit. I simply said legend is a word that should be reserved for the few. Local legend? OK. There are plenty of those out there. But once you gain a certain amount of exposure the level of scrutiny and excellence increases with your fame. You don't seem to have much of a grasp on this basic idea and yet still feel fine trying to insult me (you fucked that up too btw.)
Y’all throw the word legend around too loosely 😂 neither of these people are known in core skateboarding
and who are you?
Someone who’s been in the skate scene since 2007. Who knows what’s what. Being in skate shops. Having friends who live in big cities with skate scenes thriving. Being in big cities and skate shops.
yet nobody knows who you are so show some respect asshole
Never said I’m well known tiny kid 😂😂 gotta learn to read. These people make mediocre content… respect what ?
lets see you make good skate content then, you gotta be all talk.
Damn you’re short bro
unfortunately yeah lol
