My friend rode for Split Clothing, or something like that. He was invited back to the hotel room for the party after skating and was told to “Bring Chicks”
We all showed up, all of us guys plus him. There must’ve been ten of us total. No girls.
Immediately, Leo Romero, who was there for some reason, looked at all of us entering the room and basically said “what the fuck” And “why” and also told one of my friends he was going to cut his rat tail off.
All of us packed into the motel 6 room sardine style, and we were all waiting to see what was going to happen next!
Heath Kirchart emerges from the bathroom area and calls one of the guys with “Sheckler” and starts on something like, “You need a haircut Sheckler”
Shortly after this a lot of us start to leave the room, partly because of the shame, mostly because Heath is kicking us out.
He kept one of my friends back, the one who invited us and was told to “Bring Chicks”, and proceeded to give a lap dance. We watched through the curtains until Heath stared at us and closed them so quick. We hung out in the hall way for a while after that.
Later, after drinking some Parking lot beers, we decided to re enter the room. We were young and dumb, and offered our friend, the one who Heath called “Sheckler”, for a haircut.
With little confidence, on of us shouted “Shave his head man!”
To which Heath replied, “Gimme a Razor!”
To which one of ours said ... “ I thought, I thought you said you had one?”
At this moment, the joke was immediately over. Heath stared us down, Sheckler especially, and even if we did give him a razor he might’ve attacked one us with it. He stared us down like we were a spot at UCI. He was very very drunk from what I remember. We now left.
Anyway, the whole thing is on film somewhere, and it was fucking hilarious.
Pro-Tip: When Pro’s invite you to their after party, bring girls, not more skaters.
