One of the very first times I ever skated with Sean Payne we were at this set of six stairs that’s more like a big six actually since the steps are pretty wide, anyway he was rolling super slow going towards the set.
I was convinced he was slow rolling it so he could check out the distance and height before actually trying anything, I mean he had to be, he was going so fucking slow. I mean creeping at a snail’s pace basically.
BAM! He did a fucking giant, beautiful, perfect kickflip and casually landed like it was the most normal thing in the world to him.
Right after that he did a hardflip down it and there is a sequence of it in an old Big Brother mag and I actually got BGPs in there, sitting down dumbfounded.
Also he was riding his board backwards, like he always did.
Freak of fucking nature, but in a really good way.
