started off in 86, was not that big, just one of those small humans out my moms vag. next memory was gettin a needle in my back so i could go to kindergarten, next one is goin to school comin home at lunch and watchin price is right. then i moved to the other side of town, got a new house with parents and brother. didnt have enough dough for my own place yet. got NES and super mario bros 1 and 3, little late i know right? then went to my friends played mickey mouse on snes, also played mario world and street fighter 2. that was grade 2, was already runnin shoryuken even by grade 3. had some friends we played hockey in their basement, it was all about hits. playin fifa for snes too. super punch out, zelda, earthbound, adn chrono trigger. this was grade 5. was into some pog shit. had a computer for a minute by then , saw first internet porn. my brother was into sailor moon porno, especially.
grade 6 i was still a wreck i always got in fights at school and cried when things didnt go my way. someone told me that once i remember, but i cant remember who. i quit baseball even though i was fucking amazing, would hit a home run basicalyl every single game. i think i tried for an in the park homer once and i cried cause i was tagged on home plate, then was ejected from the game. i was ridin a lot of bikes and playin a lot of ps1. our teacher left cause she got sick we had this real dope supply teacher come in for the rest of the year mr sharma. he was dope he looked like the rock. my friend mat started skating secretly. by the end of the year my teacher told me i had improved so much i wasnt a cry baby anymore and i was handling shit the way i should have.
then grade 7 i saw my friend do a kickflip on his blind board with clear grip. i was like wtf. i had no idea what skating was, but a lot of people were getting boards and gettin into it a lot. i didnt get a board til the next christmas im pretty sure. but my friend mat was naturally really godo and i remember a lot of the older guys were psyched on skating with him. i triedto get good but i was terrible. went and saw that new star wars movie too. also i think i got starcraft that year, it had just dropped. played FF7 and suikoden too.
i smoked weed in grade 8 and i remember my friend bein really bummed. this other grimy kid was like "if you want to skate you gotta smoke weed" . i went to a concert in the summer it was real crappy but it was fun i got to smell a lot of weed and see some shitty bands like creed and treble charger and goldfinger. was hyped at the tiome but looking back that was probably the worst concert ever. i was skating a lot still and everyone else had quit. i was super into it and people hated on me for it. i wore a lot of really weird clothes too. i saw the osiris video and i kind of dressed like josh kasper. i met my best friends that year, fetus, neb, and pat. we were a crew it was really cool and everyone was kind of on our dick in this underground way. there was this other crew of 4 dudes, and mat was one of them. they always vibed us super hard and always triedto come to our shit like parties etc. pat's dad was kind of craze like would get drunk every night and go out so his house was like free for all. i was really stoked cause i was like 15 or 16 and could do whatever the fuck i wanted to. we could jsut go sakte all night it didnt matter. we started smoking a lot of weed around that time and that was kind of what held our crwe together. i became a lot more relaxed person too.
i started skating a lot less becauise of partying. before, i would skate friday and saturday, all day and night. but now it was partying friday and saturday, then skate maybe in the day if i felt like it. i mostly just skated at night. i remember we filmed like 5 fucking videos, one every year. the first one was basically just me and my friend finch filming eachother. then more and more people got on and wanted to help out with it. then i was skating with pat a lot more towards the later ones and me and pat kept trying to make a video but shit would always hit the fan we'd wyle out liek crazy and get nothing done. finch wasnt into getting fucked up, he was older, he was already over all that shit by the time i got into it. so whne we were doing that last video, i think i was the one who realyl wanted it to happen in the beginning and i filmed a bunch of clips and then slept on it basicalyl the entire summer, and then at the end i realized i had like no footage and everyone else had a ton, so i went on a trip to london and toronto and got a whole fuck load of last minute footy and it turned out really sweet. i think that was the video i liked the best.
then i went to college after taking a year off to work at a warehouse. college was weird, i had a lot of time off at weird times, so i was skating by myself a lot. thats when i started getting into making beats a lot too. i was in a band in grade 10 and i made a rap CD with a friend who was erally big into music,. he had already had recording equipment and really good guitars and amps in grade 11 (he was a year older than me). he was the fucking definition of a hipster, but this was in 2001. his name was rick seemann i swear to god, and last i heard he got married in balls falls. fucked up. so anyway i learned a lot about that ovfer the course of those 3 years and i started skating a lot more than the past few years. it wasnt as much as in my og days, but it was a lot more than grade 11, 12, and the year off. they also built this really rad skatepark outdoors like 4 blocks from my house which helped immensely. i got re-stoked on skating again and filmed maybe 1 minute worth of shit in a span of four years.
fast forward to today and i havent been so stoked on skating since making those first videos. its not like i am any better or anything, i am still pretty fucking terrible. but i think i have found my style or whatever you want to call it. i am a lot more comfortable skating and i dont really give a shit about a trick looking a certain way on film or whatever. i used to get really bent out of shape about shit like that. i was such a kid for the longest time, i still am pretty immature. i never had too many girlfriends, got next to no pussy for the longest time. i had 1 girl a year ago and she fucked 90, but i started to hate her cause she got annoying when she got drunk. and she always got drunk.
so yeah thats my life story right there.
