Ok guys, So I have a really awkward encounter(s) with some pros that I am willing to share with you guys. Because maybe you guys will laugh at me and we can get some not so depressing comments. It was 2015, I went to Philadelphia for the Emerica X Lakai Stay Flared tour. I was stoked and nervous at the same time, Because I had never met any pros and at this stage in my life I was an Idolizer which I was kinda obsessive. So when I went to Pains Park and saw Reynolds, Herman, Carroll, Howard, Westgate, Figgy it was like a pure what the fuck moment. So In my mind I was going fucking nuts. I was not really acting myself I went up to Rick Howard and said I am so happy you here everyone Is happy you came out, And he was faded looked at me said nothing and I walked away. So then I saw Mike Carroll and the only thing I could say to him is out of being completely nervous. Where can I buy Royal trucks I can not seem to find them anywhere online (at this time they were on hiatus). He said they will be out soon you will be able to get them online or at your skate shop. But as I said all that keeping all my emotions in it came off super aggressive. He just kinda stared at me and listened as I asked him, Like He was confused (why is this kid asking about skateboard trucks) and Then I saw westgate That was a cool encounter hes a really nice person. Sitting next to him tho was figgy.. And I basicly just stared blanky at him he put his beer up as like cheers gesture. I was like that is figgy. And then I made the cardinal sin. Ok so I believe Heath was the TM at that time so I went up to him not knowing it was Heath, And I said..out of completely being nervous my brain being melted I said does Reynolds still do his switch frontside flips like Muska flips. And he said "Don't ask him that' very like "your going to get your ass beat if you say that" That was the vibe I got. 15 year old me believed it, So.. the event was ending. And Herm got on the mic and started doing a prize throw if you answered his questions, He would give you gear. one thing he had called out was "Who has the worst shoes" At the time I had really blown out telford's I had gotten off ebay new. That shoe was not out for like 5 years at that point. I took it off my foot held it in the air he said "Damn that shoe looks like it needs to be on the myth busters fuck" threw me 2 shirts some kids tried to jack me. I kept my shit. The day ended and me and friends were on our way home and fucking Spak farted in the car with 3 people in the backseat crammed in a honda civic we almost died. But yea that is my story.
