Keep up with all of my latest work at andrewlov.com
Andrew Lovgren presents a documentary about the free feeling of skateboarding.
Get out of the box and go skate.
Award winning for Best Documentary and Best Cinematography at the Student Television Network Nationals.
Best Documentary at the eMagine Film Festival.
Best Documentary at the Focus Film Festival.
When I started Freeling a year ago, my main goal was to inspire people to be better than themselves. This film isn't just about skateboarding, it's about being strong enough to go against the current. In order to do great things, you must "get out of the box" and go for it. This film is my way of saying, skateboarding has shaped me into the kid that did that exactly. Enjoy the film and I hope everyone, one day, will see the bigger picture. Thank you.

Shaun Cooney hey man.. u remind me of me.. i started skating at the age of 14 and i the biggest regret i have in life is stopping... its been 12 years.. and going through the ups and downs of life.. i just got back on my deck again..i am 30 this year.. its been 3 months.. and slowly getting comfortable again.. i have never appreciated skateboarding this much before .. and i hope i dont ever have to stop again.. ive never felt this way about skateboarding before.. first step i took made me feel like the first breath of fresh air again..i guess i really missed it.. its a combination of freedom and serenity and i certainly hope u feel the same way.. :)

I was watching this when I was 13 going onto 14 and now im 19 about to be 20 in march and its like this video takes me back to when I was just a kid and I could just go anywhere and fucking skate my heart out. Skateboarding has done so much for me and this video helped me understand that I got invested into something truely meaningful. I've been skating for almost 6 years now nonstop and skating now is different because of the responsibilities I have now compared to when I was just a middle/highschooler but there's always going to be a deep appreciation in my heart for what skateboarding has taught me and helped me with throughout the years.

tbh, im not trying to sound mean or anything, i sometimes dont understand how people cant afford skateboards. I mean like really? you have a family, meaning you obviously have money to support one and probally before that. Im not close to being rich, so dont assume i get alot of boards. I only had 2 so far (both cheap ones from target) for the two years ive been skating and im getting a custom board one. But get out there, get a skateboard and live on!

"Cruising at sunset with your homies in the city and its golden hour. Thats the ultimate high." I always hear that and think about 2 years ago when i skated down market street in San Francisco for the first time. Not sure why we were skating down it but it was sunset and i felt free. I felt amazing. Me and my brothers just letting free. Listening to my favorite music. This video has helped me so much. I found this when i was in Jr High and now its my Senior year about to go to college and graduate. I've fallen into an extreme depression recently, and skateboarding has been the only successful thing to help me escape. Re-Watching this after years gives me hope again and makes me pick up the board more often. Thank you Andrew. Thank you skateboarding. Thank you all skaters, you guys are my radical family and i couldn't appreciate the joy skating has given me in words. Words don't describe it. I know one day i'm gonna kick depression right in the face and feel like the free kid i was in Jr. High again. Love always.

I remember the first time I saw this video, I was young and still able to skate. I remember stopping the video halfway through to grab my board and skate in the parking lot across the street. I miss those days so much, skateboarding brought something to my shitty childhood. An escape. Something to work towards. Goals. Now as an adult I’m not able to skate because of work and everything else life throws my way. But I’ll never forget the memories and the smiles and laughs that skateboard brought to me throughout my childhood/teen years.

Like Mikey Santillan said, it doesn't matter if you do tricks or not. I don't, I never was able to do it and frankly was never really insterested. But the cruising part, it's so true. To me there's nothing like it, it is the ultimate high and I can't get enough. It's incredible just to feel yourself moving with the board and you know, just... riding. It feels amazing and I think people who don't do it just miss out on so much :)

This video is perfection to me. The way I view it is as everybody is walking around with boxes on their heads, it is representing the close mindedness of society and how restricted we are as everyday citizens. And the skateboarder taking the box off is showing him finding freedom within skateboarding. As he skates past more and more people they find skateboarding and find their own freedom as well. That is a pretty cool concept to me and a very inspirational and motivational thing to see. Thank you Andrew.

But I’ll always think back on those memories with a huge smile man.

Being a "skateboarder" is not just riding a skateboard. Being a skateboarder is riding a board, and its the community of skaters that makes it so different and unique.

And thats what a skateboarder is.

skateboarding is not about to be the best ... its about to be a community, to have fun and to feel good

Just watching these people talk about skating to can get why it is there passion and understand by the way they talk that it is something they love.I really admire all skaters(new ones and advansted) and that's why I skate too!

Such a great piece of work. I watched this 10 years ago and was obsessed. I'm now a videographer and currently editing a documentary, and came back to watch it for some inspiration. Just as well produced as I remembered.

I am 21 and I recently purchased askate board as I want to learn how to skate. Hopefully over time I become better at is, as it seems really fun. I especially cant wait to just cruise around. Even though I live in the London, and there are not many skateparks/skaters I still want to learn.

Ye thanks, just a shame a lot of the foot pavements are uneven and not smooth to casually stroll around town. Here in London

Wow, it sounds worse than where I live. I think that, what I think is bad with my pavements, being un-skatable, to a good skater its easy. If that makes sense lol. I might find it alright within a year when I can skate better

Yea man not about how good you are or what age you begin skating man, Its about having fun and feeling free, just like explained in the video man. Ive been skating for about 7 years now and it will always have a role in my life whether it is a big role or small. Its almost a lifestyle if you take it that far man! Goodluck and keep at it, dont listen to any haters man!

GO for it! It is so much fun, even the learning process was fun (to me at least). It doesn't take super long to learn either, a couple weeks if you keep at it.

Bruh, I'm a 21 year old in the USMC who has been skating for all of 2 weeks now. My suggestion is: if there's a skate park you can get to, go for it. While I started to learn ollies in parking lots and what not, my abilities rose exponentially when I started using a skate park.

6:14 Yeah, that guy speech right there, that's why a 25 years old like myself came to ride a BMX, it was not even for the tricks but just the CRUISE like he said, there is nothing more liberating/"freeling" than cruising down the streets/hills with a skate/bmx/MTB whatever, freedom is yours at this particular moment. Thanks for the upload
