YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In our most anticipated episode yet of LET IT KILL YOU, we dive into the journey of Arto Saari, a true legend in the world of skateboarding.

For over 25 years, Arto has been a driving force in the scene, filming some of the most iconic video parts of all time. He also earned the highest honor in skateboarding—Thrasher’s Skater of the Year award in 2001.

Originally from Finland, Arto moved to the U.S. as a young teen, speaking no English, all in pursuit of his dream to skate. Despite the odds, he quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the biggest names in the culture. But his journey wasn’t without its struggles.

Join us as we explore Arto's life, legacy, and the bold decision to relocate his young family from Hollywood to the North Shore of Oahu, where he embraced a new chapter as a surfer and photographer.
