Its interesting that he described wanting to be a skate coach at a place designed to help kids learn how to level up their abilities. I guess he hasn't heard of Woodward? Or did I miss some key detail that actually makes that ramble make sense.
I have told this story before, but when we were 15 we took the train out to SF and went to Pier 7. It was pretty anxiety inducing with so many pros there and I accidentally snaked York while he was filming. Felt horrible. Dude threw my board off the Pier, later sorrrrta apologised, and Karl ended up giving me a new deck. Most of the pros that were around were at least tolerable to a point and understood that we were just kids trying to figure out how to not fuck up, but he was one of the people that was a low key jerk.
