i remember stumbling across a livestream of a Vans park contest live from china one night 2-3 years back. I had never heard of this cookie kid. chris pastras was calling the play by play for the contest, and his mic was much louder than anything else, comically loud. for some reason he couldnt stop talking about "HIS BOY COOKIE" throughout the entire contest, i honestly thought it was some sort of weird joke bc of how many times i heard the word cookie. all throughout everyone elses runs.
this is how it went:
"Cody Mac really has great usage of the Vans Signature Park Series Procourse A-frame wedge to curb, but you know what i personally cant wait to see fellas? Im really excited to see what my boy chris cookie coldburn has in store for this once in a lifetime Vans Park Series Pro course!!"
at some point in someones run they skate past cookie on the deck...
"ohhh man you can just see Cookie patiently waiting, only 3 skaters heats left before we see Cookie take the Vans Signature Pro Park Series course. I can see the fire in your eyes cookie!! I know youre dying to shred this Vans Park Series Pro course cookie!! hang in there!!"
"AAAAND HERE HE IS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN CHRIS COOKIE COLDBURN LETS HEAR THAT LEGENDARY SHENZEN CROWD ROAR THIS IS WHAT WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!"
quietest i had ever heard a sporting event... this predates covid by atleast 2 years. this cookie kid landed a little fucking boardslide before falling on his second trick and bowing out with 45 seconds left in his run.
chris pastras started yelling something about how this was a once in a lifetime type thing for cookie because of how flawless he had been on the vans signature park series pro course the past 2 days in front of those hyphy Shenzen sk8 hooligans in the stands.
i still have no idea what the fuck was going on, but it was fucked, and ive since lost all respect for chris pastras. get that money buddy but holy shit, who decided to give that man a vans signature park series pro course microphone? yall fucked up. nate sherwood could have done a better job and that motherfucker speaks his own verison of english.
