I met bam margera and his cronies walking around west chester PA in the midst of their CKY fame. bam's girl was with them too, this was in the middle of february and my friends and I were just checking out west chester for spots, bam offered to tell us about some places to skate in west chester so we went and got a bite to eat at some diner and he drew a bunch of maps on the back of the diner's placemats for us. pretty cool memoriabilia, I wish I didn't throw out the maps after getting to each spot.
I've only been to two demos, and I don't really count those situations as 'meeting' people. Both times I tried to fuck around with some of the guys skating, ie flashing a focus cover in dylan rieder's face and telling him he needed to emulate the dude on the cover (ryan nix).
I ran into harold and billy rohan in the middle of december in NYC...this was about a month or two before harold's death. My friend and I were waiting on some weed on a corner, and out of no where I hear a 'heyy you guys wanna skate around with us?' and turn around to see the puggy face of harold hunter. It had to be 30 degrees, but never the less we skated around st. marks and the village with rohan and harold, just riding around the streets looking for 'nug spots' and dicking around. as they were about to leave, harold grabbed some tees, sweatshirts and pants from rohan's backpack and gave them to us, as well as cell phone number to 'come hangout and watch some videos, maybe skate some more.' if I wasn't an out of towner I would have hopped on this opportunity; but that night alone was fucking sick on its own.
