He had 2 kids, has been sober for over 2 years, has a pro shoe out this week, did street league, filming everyday, he’s doing good

Antwuan is a bright side off skateboarding ! He went trough lots off personal issues but today he's sober and back on his board ! And thank god he's healthy today.

Was in rehab with him. Didn't know his story. Insightful. Hope he's good.

Skate lab in Simi valley at the baker demo I seen antwuan after the demo and asked him how to tre flip I was trying it hard for about a month couldn’t ever land one. He took the time and didn’t hesitate to show a skinny white kid with long hair how to land his first 360 flip. Forever respect to you my man I seen your heart that day.

Recently took a trip to California and ran into Antwuan at North Hollywood Plaza, dude was absolutely shredding but still took the time to talk to me and take a photo, was nothing but kind and respectful, am so happy to know he’s back doing his thing and looking as good as ever with his effortless style 🤝

Antwuan Dixon is a legend. His baker 3 part is one of my favorites. It's absurd how he can fly down huge gaps and barely move his arms.

Seeing Antwuan come back has been so incredible. The love he gets from the scene, to this day, is wonderful. I hope he knows how much everyone loves him.

Only four years of skating and he put out one of my all time favorite video parts. That first tre flip really set the tone for his whole part.

Ayyyyeeee, the photo I took of Twuan was in this. Loved the video. Grew up looking up to him and his skating style especially since I come from similar situations. Happy to know he’s in a better place

Antwuan has the kind of style looks like he just jumps and the board obeys. So sick to watch. Glad he's doing well these days definitely a legend in the sport

Antwuan is one of the greatest street skaters of all-time, no question. Im so stoked seeing his newer clips he's been posting and im rooting for him big time. Really would love to see him drop another video part or get back in Baker but with a new outlook and fresh perspective. Everyone in skateboarding loves his style, and I hope he can stay in a good place and be happy. We love you Twaun, your skating has always been incredible

You did great man I thank you for this piece of history that won't be soon forgotten

Sickest style I've ever seen.

Yep there was definitely a lot of bad influence. Basically all of the dudes on Baker were alcoholics back then. I mean come on… Dollin, Szafranski, Ellington, Greco… lol. TK? Just imagine yourself in Antwuan’s shoes. Being 16-19 hanging around those guys with unlimited money and fame??? Fuck.. nice video! It made me realize a lot of things about Antwuan’s life. I am glad he is clean now and is still skating!

This was a very nuanced and thoughtful doc about his life. Very entertaining and high value, salute!

Was waitin on this video!!

I love your story telling ! Had me from the beginning. Much love brother ❤

The most interesting narrative on skateboarding I have ever seen. I wish it had come out earlier. I have his first pro model deck still sealed up (cuffed hands). Thank you for this video. Wonderful job! Thhis guy has an amazing personality. One of a kind.

Keep covering this skate stories bro; loving your content!

I grew up skateboarding with Antwan. He was always so cool, kind and fun to be around. A very loving person. I never knew the story about the jail stuff until now.

As a guy who spent time on the wrong side of the law and plenty of it doing things I shouldn't have. I can tell you one of the things I wish I had done was not spend time with some of the people doing some of the things I did. But here I am 35 and started skating again this year after 15 years and I'm better now in 3 months than I was n in 2 years as a kid. The path to happiness isn't the same for everyone and some never get there. Mad love Dawson.

not many people in skateboarding have the legacy antwuan has and he did it all off one part, he embodies a defuct era of skating where he doesnt even need to skate in footage to leave an impact (deathwish tour video, epicly laterd etc) hes in the same league as penny when it comes to raw talent/style and lore

Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾 Prayers out for Antwuan 🕊️

Antwaun is the man. He's for sure one of my favorites of all time and I'm so glad he's doing better. Yeah, it would be cool to see him back on Baker or Deathwish, but it wouldn't be the same, and I wouldn't want to see him go down the wrong road again. What he's doing with FTP and Straye is good enough. Man, in hindsight, Twaun on Chocolate and éS would have been so much better!

i'm so happy twuan turned his life around. looking good on a board still, sober and a father to two kids. he seems to be happy and taken good care of on ftp, too. hope he keeps it going for a few years.

Thanks a lot for making those videos cause it really helps understanding histocal events/characters of the skate industry. Especially for foreigners like me (French) cause the mix of the geographical barrier and at the same time not growing up during the baker 2/3 era (I’m 18) creates a lot of gaps in the history of skateboarding in the USA aka were it came from as the scene is different in each country. So yeah keep cooking that shit

3rd video in a row of one of my controversial childhood idols. Keep them coming dude!!!!! These are great. Subscribed for sure

Really well done video! Great work.

I grew up skateboarding at the Hawthorne skatepark the dirty. I would always see Antwuan get into some shenanigans but he is really chill, letting me get in the blunt rotation. He would always hype me up to skate.

He’s the best in my eyes. His style is unmatched and unparalleled.

This a really dope video.. great job homie

Man I love your videos!

This guys skill stands alone and speaks for itself. A hero to many, even with the dark side that of course non of us are exempt from.

such an amazing video. antwuan is an absolute legend✈️

So laid back. Feel like he could land every trick with his hands in his pockets.

Antwaun will forever be in the history books of skating. Got to see him at a death wish demo in 2010 in Fresno, California.

Your videos are put together so well. As a videographer I can respect and appreciate the production you put into this. And youve clearly done a lot of research and are very knowledgeable. I'll sub for your future videos for sure

Great video! Man I just hope everything works out for him. Bro definitely went through a lot.

I was at Tampa pro and watched twan try and fight the whole dgk team and destroy the shop it’s dope to see him bounce back ,🙏🏽blessings my guy

One correction I must note is Baker 3 wasn't his only video part. You legit pulled footage from his second video part, which was Baker has a Deathwish. And IMO, that was actually his most impressive part. Didn't have the impact of his first one cause the video as a whole was a lot more low key, but nevertheless the part was incredible! Hopefully he can drop a 3rd tho before he hangs up his board

Thanks to your channel, it was the first time when I heard this name, but my God! I swear, never in my life have I seen such effortless and fluid skating! Insanely gifted athlete.

Great documentary man

I still want to know what Rodney Mullen told him.. That Tre he started his part with, was the utmost steeziest ever.. he did that effortlessly

The skating lifestyle as a kid is full bore adrenalin and bravado ..and with that comes reckless behaviour.testing your limits..sadly this leads a lot of us down somewhere dark roads away from skating...but skating can also be the best way to battle addiction and mental health as an adult..it's such a good mental escape and full emersion meditation state that you need in life..keep skating!!

Id love to see him drop a new part full of bangers and make a huge comeback 🙌

Glad to hear he’s sober and a personal trainer and still skating. Get that KZfaq/tictok up. The world of skating has so many avenues of creativity. Antiones still young. I’d like to see him utilize his talents while discovering new ones. He’s got this

Ah the life lessons learned by skateboarding never end, every time you step on that wooden toy believe it or not your soul heals, I think most of us lifelong skaters that have made it to the other side can all say no regrets, skateboarding taught me everything about life, people, especially corporate America. Today I give back to the kids, it’s all about the kids 🙏🏼❤️Skateboarding😊

No one else in the world has dropped a 2 minute part and almost 20 years later countless people still consider them their favorite skater based off that. Proof style doesn’t just matter, it’s everything.

Great vid !!!!!

His part in baker 3 was always one of my favorites from that video.He landed every trick so clean.While at the same time making it look so effortless.

He got drunk and faded all the time, then he’d try to be ‘tough’, which we all know drinking does, that led him into wanting to fight, so he’d just talk shit to random people and that led to his arrests and generally criminal behavior. Just foolish man, everyone knows in their heart when they are doing wrong but refuse to care until they get older and wiser and realize the gift they took for granted and threw it all away for wanting to fight and act ‘tough’ he knew his friends knew but people have to learn on their own and stop blaming other people. He was over 18 he’s responsible for himself. Stop trying to make excuses for him- it’s not the way life works -after you get arrested ONCE for being drunk and then fighting, possibly cops, which he did fight, you should STOP drinking or being around people that party-plenty of older people gave him advice he just didn’t want to listen again he’s an adult and responsible for himself Don’t be Antwan kids

Interesting that no skaters or videographers that look like Antuwan (ethnically) make videos from a black perspective on what happened during his early career 🤔

Great stuff. Well done!

Antwuan is a great example of becoming the character he played up for the branding but good to see him doing his thing to this day. I always dug his swag.

self sabotage is a helluva drug

One of the sickest styles to date. When he lands tricks it just looks so effortless. It’s like magic. Just draw dropping to watch. Wish his journey didn’t have so many twist and turns. If he just stayed on point he may have been one of the greatest of all time. Nevertheless his legend has had a huge impact on skateboarding as a whole. Anyone who is a real skater knows who he is. Heros get remembered but legends never die.

Blew my mind when I watched baker 3. I was a terrible skater as a kid but I loved the sport so much. I wish antwuan all the success in the world. He has fans all over the world ready to see his comeback!

Damn i saw the name and instantly remembered that huge nollie staircase. Im super out of the loop since these days, So nice video on bringing people like me back.

The way he blew up and went from nobody knowing who he was to being a household name in the industry is like when Pat Duffy came out and was a phenom. Everyone loves Twan, really happy to see where he’s at today. He’s a real Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hide when he’s drinking. Thank God he’s sober now. And he been skating with the Baker/DeathWish guys again so that’s sick. Also his brother Killa D came home not that long ago, wish him the best too

Literally one of the best styles I’ve ever seen, and I tried my best to emulate his style. I too relate to his story of a face pace lifestyle minus jail time and stuff like that, but drugs and alcoholism is a bitch, along with being around the wrong crowd.

This is sad it happens across all sorts of entertainment and sports industries. Glad he's back on his feet though which gives you hope... keep it bro! Nollie Heel Carlsbad gap is forever cemented into skate history as a fucking huge banger! Thank you for the epic addition to Baker 3🔥

Sounds like a talented guy who the industry stuck their claws in until he was worth nothing

Eat Dat Shrimp

Hey man. This was a great video.

So happy to see that top post I like his take seemed like he was very honest in hindsight I’m happy he’s doing wonderful wish him the best has a beautiful style

Sad story. He was basically exploited by the industry then thrown away. What else would happen to a kid from the hood, given more money than he had ever seen, with no guidance or consequences? He shit on the talent he was gifted with and his bad behavior was rewarded for years. A lot of people profited at his expense..😖😢

As a brazilian growing up in the worst environments, i can tell that you're responsible for your own acts.... Regardless. He did what he wanted and paid off

My religious perspective: God chose this man, in whom he instilled this unique talent, to show the world that you can get out the hood and out of pre-destined criminality thanks to nothing but a small push (stolen skateboard). Like c'mon Kickflip the first day?! That's destiny right there

One of the only skaters I'd believe when they say they kickfliped 1st try when they first started. Dude was mad talented. Way ahead of everyone and still competes what mega skaters put out today. Dude was just nasty at skating

Guy couldnt handke his booze and drugs

Glad he’s doing well always been a fan and rooting for him

Dope vid earned a sub brother 💪

New Antwun Dixon part Pahhhleeeeaasse! Send it homie!🤙

This was just as good if not better than the Vice one. Amazing work! 👏🏼

Shout out to you man for finding the clip at progressive skate park at 1:55 I grew up their and was at that demo!! It was the baker has a death wish demo and that whole day was fire!! 🔥

Great one! 😊

He is one of my favorite skaters 🙏🏻 such a natural talent

One of the goats. Think he’s dropping a proper part this year

So cool bro I’ve never heard this mans story before 🤙🏽❤

Great video

baker 3 such a good part. loved that beginning fs 180 then 360 flip and a fat heelflip down the stairs. he looks so comfortable on the board.

Everybody has their own career path. This was his, intentional or not. It's still inspiring and motivational. Thank you for the video.

You made this objectively and respectfully. Thank you

Amazing vid. Thanks for bringin some light into the darkness around him. I like his style so much. And there were not much black sk8'ers, that make it pro. I wish him all the best in life. He went through a lot of shit. Very cool video.

First video I see here on this channel, instant sub. High quality but 14k subs lol.

Amazing, eloquent storytelling.

He is such an effortless skateboarder, it's very calming watching his style.

I met Antwuan thru tattooing in Tampa FL. I thought he was really kool dude. He was legitimate and respectful. If your coming at someone with his kinda past of course he will come at you. Im super stoked he is well and sober and doing great. Good to know. Very talented skateboarder. The SPOT Skate Park Of Tampa you will meet just about anyone engaged with this sport. Keep it up bro ❤

You are soo solid and soo clean I will always look up to you!!

He made grinding hand rails and jumping down big stair sets look so easy. It always looked effortless for him.

keep up this content quality, you finna be like the patrick cc of skateboarding

easily my favorite skater. huge i inspiration on my entire life outside of skating. i changed my entire life around the last 2 years and i'm glad he could do the same

Antwuan was one of my fav skaters growing up I love his style when he doing tricks

Antoine is doing very well one of my closest friends (deathwish rider) lives with him and said he’s doing phenomenal and super healthy and skating and filming ALOT now…he’s rly a super genuine and nice dude

Legend, no one ever busted onto the scene like Antwuan. Defining effortless skating.

Super trippy hearing a documentary about this cat, grew up with him in Carson. Used to know he was stopping by the house by hearing his wheels in the distance.

I respect this guy and his style, legend!!!

Sweet video. This guy is iconic 😂

I remember going to a signing at a boarders' lizardking and Ant were soo chill and friendly, it was a great experience.

First time seeing Baker 3 when it dropped Antwuan’s part blew my mind; the intro wit the Tre was so laid back.
