Hesh comes from 1980's skateboard and crossover heavy metal vernacular, derived from 'hessian' to denote Germanic warriors and soldiers. Fashionwise, 'hesh' people took cues from the 2nd wave British heavy metal, LA hardcore, and Mexican 'cholo'/lowrider ,and '80's skaterat subcultures. 'Hesh', when used as an adjective, means cool, couraeous, reckless, and describes the nihilisic, hedonistic lifestyles of these modern bon vivants. Heavy marijuana use is a central part of hesh culture.
"Josh is hesh, he's down for whatever."

"Hesh sesh (session) in the park on Saturday, smoke a bowl, hit the ramps,then we'll get tacos and skate to the beach and have a bonfire"

Hesh is a term that originated in skateboarding culture to describe a style that is characterized by a raw, aggressive, and unrefined approach to skating. Hesh skaters often embrace a DIY mentality and prioritize the act of skating itself over flashy tricks or competition. They may also favor skating spots that are not traditionally designed for skating, such as abandoned buildings or empty swimming pools. The term hesh is also sometimes used more broadly to describe a certain attitude or aesthetic that values authenticity and a counter-cultural mindset.

A discription of a certain type of style in the world of skateboarding. The common "hesher" will go for any trick you tell them to without thinking about it twice, and refuse to bail (even if landing primo is 100% guaranteed).

Hesh in skateboarding is to be completely balls to the wall and throwing yourself down obstacles that might leave you in the hospital. A Hesh skater rides the worst terrain and skate the gnarliest rails/ ledges. These people rarely flip their board or skate clean anything. The difficulty is in the size and roughness of what theyre skating as opposed to the technically and cleanliness.
