Skateboarder and rap artist Lil Uzi Vert has been out in the streets lately, not just performing or dropping tracks but really putting in time on their skateboard.
They/them have been learning trick by trick, linking up with actual skaters, and showing genuine effort. This isn’t just a phase or a photoshoot moment. Uzi’s clearly been spending real time on a board.
The latest proof? They landed them first double kickflip.
They/them posted a video of the trick with the caption, “made a vid, love you so much!!!” It wasn’t about showing off.
It was the kind of post someone makes when they’re genuinely stoked to land something they’ve been working on for a while. That little celebration felt real.
The double kickflip isn’t some trick you figure out overnight. It takes patience. That second flick, the timing, and keeping the board under your feet while it spins twice.
All of that can take skaters months or even years to figure out. Seeing Uzi get it just adds to the fun of following They/them skate clips. It’s relatable. It’s rewarding. And they earned it.
Uzi has also been working with Vans, a brand that’s always had a place in skate culture. That connection doesn’t feel forced. With their mix of music, fashion, and now skating, Uzi slides right into the world Vans speaks to.
