I gotta give my respect for Nyjah. Even though his dad was an asshole, Nyjah knew that his father was the reason why Nyjah is where he's at right now, and I like how Nyjah showed gratitude for that. I can't really say much else about his father since I don't know him personally, but I do hope that he could get in contact with his son one day.

Nyjah isnt my favorite skater, at all, but I do appreciate his skill and motivation from him and his family. This shows how amazing the skateboarding community is, how one kid has gotten from on the brink of loosing it all, to the best in the business. The support from his mother and the amazing help from Rob to open the door for him greatly gained respect for the skating world. Keep killing it Nyjah.
