Christian professional skateboarder Anthony Daniel Scalamere III aka Ragdoll is getting ready to release his new full part called “JOY RUN,” continuing a three-part series that he started a few years ago with “CRAWL” and followed up with “WALK ON WATER.”
He shared the news through a personal post where he opened up about what each phase of the series has meant to him.
He explained that “CRAWL” came from a place of honesty about where he was at in skating.
He said he wanted to be open about feeling uncomfortable on his board again after noticing a decline in what he used to be able to do.
Instead of hiding that, he chose to film it and document the process.

It was less about performing at a high level and more about showing where he really stood and hoping it would encourage others going through their own setbacks.
With “WALK ON WATER,” he described feeling a bit more steady compared to the first part. He still felt unsure at times, but there was more confidence than before.
He mentioned that it felt like he was reconnecting with skating again and starting to recognize who he was becoming in the process.
That phase helped him see that he still had more to give, and it led him to think about continuing the idea into another part.

Now with “JOY RUN,” he says this final release brings everything together.
He shared that he worked on it both mentally and physically, focusing on his own growth rather than comparing himself to others.
He also expressed gratitude toward the people around him who supported him along the way, including friends and family who stayed patient with him through the process.
A big part of his message centered on his faith.

He gave thanks to God and Jesus Christ for what he has been able to do in skating and in life. He ended his post with a line from scripture, saying he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him.
Ragdoll’s latest video part shows different stages of his life in skating, from struggle to rebuilding confidence and now to a place of gratitude and reflection.
