not for sure if zered was there but if so he could've been the reason. pj didn't get a ton of footage in that red bull contest a decade ago when teams from different cities skated the respective cities and at the end points were tallied because he was scared zered was gonna go KRS=ONE and hit him w/ the boom bap.
pj's dad taught him well 'never fight a man uglier than you, he has less to loose' and zered's bald so why chance it?
