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.

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.

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.

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.

Shows what a good character he has to help his family but I am seeing several able bodied adults sitting on their behinds. His mom seems older but the sister and her husband could be out working even if it's just at McDonalds. You get the kind of job you get educated for or develop a talent and work hard for. This isn't true for everybody in the area but it is common to see family latch on to one member who is making one thing of themselves and feel that that person should support everyone.
