A few years ago me and a friend got to be extras in this TV On The Radio music video Atiba directed. We show up early to this skatepark in Highland Park, and it’s pretty much every big-name pro in the industry there skating in the background while the band plays next to the bowl. Reynolds, Guy Mariano, Koston, Chris Cole, Lance, Justin Strubing, Trevor Colden, Herman, TK, Vincent Alvarez, etc..
I decided to go back to my car and get my board, I don’t think extras were supposed to skate but I said fuck it. I got to skate in a session and somehow land a lot of tricks with some heroes of mine and it was a rad day.
Anyways, while I was standing there Guy came up to me with arms outstretched like “heyyy dude! How are you, how have you been!?” and pretty much hugged me while I was just like “uhh I’m good thanks!” being pretty frozen in surprise. LOL I really wonder who he thought I was. Nicest dude.
