Cody Mac in tight jeans and toothpick
I once helped out at the Sheckler foundation event and I saw Cody Mac roll up in his car wearing aviators and a wife beater with a toothpick in his motuh. I sort of knew of him at the time but didn't know at all what he looked like and seeing his kit, i figured he looked like the type of bro that would come to the event strictly to raid the Grizzly booth and the Diamond booth, so i told him that the parking lot that he was in was athlete-parking only, but that he could park on the main street for general parking like everybody else. About half an hour later I saw him inside of the demo do one switch flip on flat, push, and then switch flip down an 11 stair first try and then realized who he was when the announcer announced his name/trick and felt pretty dumb.
TLDR: I thought Cody Mac was some random bro and blew him off
I met cody mac at Tampa pro 2011, post fedora pre toothpick. He was actually super nice, we were skating the little park thing together and he came up and was like hey I'm Cody and complimented some bullshit I did. No other dudes, especially older pros were as nice. Feel bad for him, if he dressed like a normal skater and not a jock bro I think his career might ha e gone better.
Chris Haslam. Also really nice but you really gonna trust a dude in skinny jeans with a man bun to start a successful company?
On a similar note, I met Greg Lutzka randomly and expected him to be a pretentious douche. After helping him out at the shop I was working at during that time, I personally felt like the biggest douche for judging him when he ended up being one of the most kind, friendly and genuinely appreciative people I've ever helped out.
I was at a spot where Lutzka was filming with Hoops and trying to think of a trick to do down a 9 at the end of the line. Hoops suggested a fs 360, and in a loud, snarky voice so everyone around could hear him said, "I frontside 360ed noseblunted a 10 stair rail. Why would I frontside 360 a 9?"
It made me laugh at the time because it was the kind of thing you'd make up that someone like Lutzka would say, and it happened in real life. But I've heard he's friendly as well, so not trying to knock your story sus.
