Ever since Lil Wayne came home from Rikers and announced he’d taken up skateboarding as a hobby, there was a rash of debate amongst music fans as well as the skateboarding community over whether or not Wayne could actually skate, and if so, if he was any good at it.

Today we're here to present you with eight minutes of video evidence proving that Lil Wayne can indeed skate, and he’s actually pretty awesome. While you wouldn’t confuse him with a pro, he’s a significantly better skater than you or I, and that's damn impressive in and of itself.

We're not giving you some self-promotional puff piece featuring Wayne landing every single trick like he’s a character in the next Tony Hawk game—instead, it’s a portrait of his evolution as a developing skater, falls, fukkups and all. The thing about Wayne is he’s such an inherently magnetic figure that even watching him ride a skateboard from one end of his trukSTOP skatepark to another is completely and utterly hypnotic. And if you watch all the way through, you’ll see him ride up a quarter-pipe only to do a stall in front of a bunch of twerking strippers, which is kind of incredible.

:salute: my nicca Weezy for sticking to it.

Fukk the haters :pacspit:

I give him props for trying, but he still sucks :manny:

he still can't do a straight ollie. yanking around a front 180 don't count

back 50-50 was semi-solid. that little rock he did on the side of the extension was actually kinda ballsy. a few turn-on boardslides and front 180's, but he looked like he almost died every time

every other time I was impressed, it turned out to be shorty :heh:

lol he's wack as fukk. Latest vid I saw of him skating could be topped by any 12 year old that skated for 6 months... (and I can skate myself, so I know what I'm talking about)

he is as good as 17 year-old me, which is cool, but like an earlier poster said, let's see him ollie instead of doing a bunch of bad 180s that he doesn't pop or a bunch of weak shove-its. i would give anything to skate the parks he owns. let him :cook: though, those strippers were :whew:
