The longtime hesher turned brother in Christ shared the project with fans online along with a simple but powerful message.
"From CRAWL, to WALK ON WATER and now......
JOY RUN.
I wanted to try and be as vulnerable as I could while filming
CRAWL, I felt embarrassed being on my board.
Knowing I couldn't do what I once could, but wanted to challenge my progress and document that to hopefully encourage others. I knew that in my mind I had big accomplishments but my body was not capable yet.
PROCEED!
Then WALK ON WATER, feeling a little more confident but still shaky and hesitant I continued and felt the spark and a little less self conscious on who I once was, and who I am becoming. I knew I had to keep the spark going and add another part to make this a trilogy because I had more in the tank. PROCEED!
JOY RUN is something I've been pushing myself both mentally and physically to really tie this together. Not to outdo anyone else, but to outdo myself. I've been Blessed to be able to do this all, through friends that encouraged me, motivated me and took the time to be patient with me. And the fact that the Good Lord Blessed me to do all of this. Thank You friends, Thank You Family, Thank You Skateboarding and Most of all,
THANK YOU Father God, THANK YOU Jesus.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
PROCEED!"
His gnarly part shows that Ragdoll is still out there getting clips and doing what he loves after all these years.
The video is full of heavy skating, big slams, and the kind of determination that made people respect him in the first place.
While many skaters slow down after turning pro, Ragdoll continues to film parts and stay active, proving that passion and faith can keep someone going no matter their age.
What also stands out about the release is how open Ragdoll is about being a follower of God.
He has never been afraid to speak about Jesus, even when critics online try to clown him for it.
Instead, he continues sharing messages about faith, positivity, and living the right way. For Ragdoll, skating and believing in God go hand in hand.
Core fans were also stoked to see him give a birthday shoutout to skate legend Chad Muska since the video dropped on the same day as Muska’s birthday.
The connection between the two made the release feel even more special for longtime skate fans who grew up watching both of them.
At the end of the day, Ragdoll's part is more than just another skate video. It is about him showing love for God, appreciation for skateboarding, and respect for the people who inspired him through the years. AMEN!
