This one is from the Chris Edwards 1999 Diversity Tour that I, Hakeem Jimoh, had the privilege of being a part of. This one brings back fond memories of traveling across the country, doing demos, and putting on events/contests for the young upcoming bladers of that time. This was one of the few grassroots tours that went around and promoted skating throughout the USA. Thanks to all the skaters that I toured with and everyone we met along the way. Special thanks to Chris Edwards for understanding the importance of introducing blading to the masses and dedicating so much time and effort with these tours. Your contributions to the game will always be monumental. Much love and respect!”The Beginning” by Nature Skate Video Released 2001 Featuring: Mike O’Brien, Steve Anderson, Jared Magers, Dustin Halleran, Steve Pugliese, Aidan Charles, Jeremy Pennacchini, Mike Radebaugh, Pat Lennen, Hakeem Jimoh, Billy O’Neill, Boschi Pope, Rob Zajac, Colin Kelso, Clark Kirkman, Jon Striebel, Mark Knibbs, Dave Mariano, & Johnny Wu.*NOTE* Reducing the screen size and switching the quality settings from auto to 480p will enhance the standard definition video playback.
