Am I a bad person cause I still love watching KA skating even though I know he’s a pos
It’s hard isn’t it.. He’s a pleasure to watch, but it’s not the same anymore.
I’d say, not really? But yes at the same time? I don’t know, yes? Probably?…I never knew about this whole “KA” debacle until about a week or two ago. I considered Kenny to be a pretty good friend that I fell out of touch with, along with quite a few other friends in the industry after I forfeited my skateboarding career.. I thought I had been around him enough to get a good read on who he was/is and he always seemed like a great dude, his personality is a lot like Matt beach’s actually.. but then there’s the whole sexual abuse allegations that are more than just hearsay and
seem to be pretty damning due to the vistim’s statement and his lack of an apology (or a terrible attempt at an apology)..it’s hard to put aside the fact that KA was super nice to me and helped me out quite a bit during the time that we were on converse together.. I guess I would just like to see him take responsibility for his actions, but it sounds like that will never happen… so, it’s a tough one because You think you know a person and then you find out you really don’t..
I do recall Richard angellides and chany telling me a story where Kenny was at a party with them in Encinitas and one of them spiked his drink with alcohol (this was back in the late 90’s and Kenny wasn’t a drinker) and when Kenny found out they spiked his drink he went bat shit crazy on them, trying to fight both of them. That’s my vague recollection of the story they told me.
but that story kind of makes sense now...
