The skateboarding world was left in shock after the news of MAGA influencer and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
A lot of skaters were shook and showed love in their own ways, but one post really hit different with its realness from the heart.
Skateboarding legend and brother in Christ Lance Mountain shared a video highlighting Kirk’s testimony about how Jesus saved his life.
In the clip, Kirk engages in a discussion with a metalhead wearing a Vital Remains shirt. The conversation was gnarly because Vital Remains is known for their extreme death metal music, with dark and aggressive lyrics often critical of religion.
The metal scene reference goes even deeper, with Glen Benton of Deicide contributing vocals on the album, delivering intense performances that have become infamous among metal fans.
Despite this backdrop, Kirk responded with calm wisdom, sharing his insights and the teachings of the Lord in a way that made a lasting impression on Mountain.
Mountain’s post showed he was feeling Kirk’s message and how faith can touch folks in the wildest places.
The clip hit his followers hard, letting them see a real side of Kirk’s faith and how it linked up with Mountain’s own beliefs.
Even when stories get twisted or blown up, Mountain’s homage shows that real faith can pop up in the most unexpected spots and leave a mark way deeper than clout.
