Above, you can watch Network A’s “dose” recap of what went down at the grand opening of Lil Wayne‘s “Trukstop” skate park in the Lower 9th Ward Village of New Orleans last week. The clip shows footage of Weezy cutting the ribbon, the Mountain Dew skate team, and everyone testing out the new skate park by having a little skating session themselves.

After Tunechi‘s skating session, “dose” spoke with him about how his skateboarding lifestyle compares to his music lifestyle, what his goals are with skating, and more. Professional skaters Paul Rodriguez and Theotis Beasley also chatted to “dose” about what it is like to be attending an event like this, Wayne‘s relationship with skating, what they learned from Wayne from listening to his music over the past 10 years, if they are more of a friend or fan to Wayne, and more!
