This is one rad reporter.
Detroit local news reporter Victor Williams went viral this week with a video of his live report from a local skateboard park, where he decided to show off his moves.

Williams delivered the report while riding and landing a few tricks on a skateboard, all while his colleagues back in the studio watched in amazement.
Free skateboarding lessons are happening at a new skatepark in Detroit. Of course I had to show the kids something on @Local4News. In all seriousness – as a child, I would have killed for a new park and mentors in the skateboarding community. Glad to see it’s happening in Detroit pic.twitter.com/3fvC8VJvDq

“That’s live, folks!” said one of the anchors.
Asked how long he’s been skateboarding, Williams said, “A long time. It’s been about since I was 8 years old.”
Another anchor reacted, “I knew he was cool, but that’s a whole new level.”
