Cordano Russell - Skater XXL

man that first clip. really shows just how much your parents matter in a young kids life. he was destined for greatness with a dad like that ❤️

if you aint crying at this shit you gotta let those walls down

I didn’t have my father growing up. He left my mother with 4 kids. I am the youngest of 4. I needed a father figure my whole life. I had so many questions about life growing up. Zero guidance from a father. I’m currently 30, and have a little 3 year old girl. I don’t understand how my father left us. I can’t even leave my daughter 2 minutes alone without missing her. She’s seriously the most beautiful thing my eyes have ever seen. And all I ever want is just to be there for her and remind her to follow her dreams and that she will never be alone. She will never have to worry about anything. MR. Russel. Thank you sir, for raising such a fine respectful man. Proud of you sir. This video made me tear 😢up in the best way. I love being a dad. Hardest/best responsibility ever! Let’s go DADS!

It’s truly an honor and blessing to be related to these two amazing people. My big brother Cortez has ALWAYS been a family man and such a positive influence in my life and everyone around him, so for him to create a champion like Cordano is nothing but the work of God. I love them beyond words!!

His dad helping him grow like this is such an inspiration

This is almost way too wholesome for thrasher but im down with it

This makes me miss my dad. He passed away last year after a stroke. He would drive me to the local park everyday as a teen, to demos at the bigger park a few towns away, and bought me boards to keep me going through it all. I love you and I miss you dad. Cherish your family.

I actually teared up a few times during this. So much love and support for him. 😭

Fathers, man! We all need more of this.

I'm a dad and would say I'm a good dad and this makes me want to be an even better dad!

SDOTY - Skate Dad Of The Year. The most inspirational and genuinely wholesome Thrasher vid in recent history. “You Got This”. Thank you.

the first clip made me realize how much i take my father for granted. he has stage one cancer and always loved to watch me skate but i just wanted to go with my homies. ik im just rambling but i really appreciate my father.

It's incredible how a good dad can improve his son's life.

"little stupid Billy Marks" wow I havent laughed so hard in awhile, thanks for that lol

I am a 6’1 200 pound ex football / baseball player turned skater at 15 my body was more used to sports than skateboarding , glad there’s people like Cordano that push the limit from a big bodied muscle guy that can inspo others

This what the world desperate need today DADS that can raise a kid like that , no cussing , no drugs , just a healthy family that support each other .. success with that recipe is guaranteed ! DADS raise your kids like that kudos for this kid I am cheering for you !! ❤

Cordano is only 19? Wow man he’s insane can’t wait to see the insane skateboarding he’s going to bless us with

I first met him at a TWS contest in 2018 I believe at the SD training facility skatepark and he ended up taking 1st place while I got 3rd. Super humble kid just ripping all day. I knew he was going to be the future.

His dad showing the love and support no doubt paved the way. Good for you pops, that’s a real father there👍

I'm not sure if there is a better, more timely, good-for-all-viewers video out there today. Bravo to Thrasher for genuinely choosing to bravely offer-up this ground-breaking piece on a ground-breaking family.
