Neil deGrasse Tyson shares his admiration for skateboarding

Big NdGT fans over here. Have you seen Cosmos?? Anywho, it's not surprising that a brilliant mind of Neil's stature is also a big fan of skating. Peep this new clip from the always-positive Skatepark Project and Humanity Stoked as Neil pontificates on the scene in Venice.

The big impact on Neil that day in Venice was skateboarding's diversity. "It's a set of people who might not be embraced in anything else they do but they come together and they are in a unified sport. And what I liked about it, is it's a society that values people's differences." Amen to that. We've always known it, but it's great to see other people acknowledge and preach the gospel.

Muska catches a classic grind as Neil describes a world of tomorrow, better than the world of today. Get back on that board Neil, it's not too late.
