Man I am kind of aggravated and need the Pals suggestions. I had to go to Playa Del Rey today for work, so naturally I rode over to Venice to go skate the Santa Monica curbs before coming back to my office. I park and ride over to the Venice Skatepark, right? Everything is chill AF, usual tourists doing their tourist thing, all the homelessness are kicked out, weather is rad, park is chill and not packed, the mood is legit. I chilled at the skatepark for like 20 minutes watching broads on rollerskates and then hit the bowl 4 or 5 times and headed out.
As soon as I turned my back to skate away I saw a bright fuckin metalflake helmet and was like damn is that AA? (My son is 9 and fuckin is obsessed with AA and he probably is a chill role model so I let him watch his videos and shit, although I am forcing him to watch Cardiel as much as I can haha). Anyways, I fuckin skate over and I pull my phone out to text my wife that I see my kids fave skater and fuckin AA goes "HEY BRO, NOT TO BE A DICK BUT NO PHOTOS OR VIDEOS OF ME SKATING". Legit like loud capped my ass like before I even had time to take a photo or anything. That long haired filmer guy is there and a couple other zoomer Powell riders....anyways I replied "Dude, chill. I saw your fuckin glitter helmet across the beach and rode over to say what's up, why so hostile?"
It was pretty awkward for a minute and this cracked out dude goes "bro he is trying a nollie darkslide 5-0 fakie, he's in the zone and needs silence" I'm like dude WE ARE AT FUCKIN VENICE BEACH, like the most densely populated skatepark in the US for fucking SURE.
Then the little hippie tries his dumb fuckin trick and of course doesn't make it and listen dudes, he stands there in front of the ledge holding his palms up to his face like an open book and starts acting like he is reading his hands, then he makes like a DDP hand shape and looks through it and is making all these fuckin weird faces and shit and his team and filmers are just standing there like "can you see it Andy, can you see it?" He goes, "nah I can't see it, let me make a lap and try to visualize myself" and that was about it. He made a lap where the quad skaters hang and did that weird walk the dog shit he does and I was like man fuck this idiot and bounced.
What would SLAP have done? I'm so bummed dude, the guy is kook status . The real question, should I post the pics of his trick or nah? Cause you know damn well I took plenty lmao
