Pass the Bucket with Tony Alva

Considered to be one of the the most influential skateboarders of all time, Tony Alva, an original Z-Boy, hit rock bottom 4 years ago battling drug addiction and alcoholism. There, at his lowest point, his reliance on successes and ego came into perspective for the first time. Tony’s fight for sobriety and truth has recently lead him to a new perspective on life and direction moving forward. Dedicated to giving back, Tony now sees passing the bucket as the only way out. Vans presents Pass the Bucket with Tony Alva, directed and edited by Eliot Rausch. 
Enjoy!  This is a very powerful piece and I really liked his perspective on life and what it is all about. If you can put a smile on someone else's face by doing something positive in their life, than you have succeed at what life is all about.  The last shot when it goes from his eyes to the title is a sick edit.
