LOL okay, this video rules but I have a real dum story.
Patrick Praman is from a nearby town, and he's always been good as fuck. Cool dude too.
Let's take it back to summer 2012. Homies and I are headed to the local - we used to get very stoned before skating back then, and this day was no exception. We loop on the way and pull up. Lots of cars in the parking lot - we're like what? Of course we had no idea there was a Goofy vs Regular competition going on that day. But we figured fuck it lets stick around.
So we're chillin in the parking lot, sneaking around some smokes, sneaking in runs during warmups etc, and eventually I'm like "I'm gonna enter and just fucking suck super hard" and everyone's like hahah fuck yeah. So I decide on the pseudonym Timtom and enter. Dude at the check in desk gave me the once over and just shrugged like "fuck it". Pretty lame - wouldn't do it again, but we were the locals and had to spoof it.
As it turns out, they're doing 1 on 1 qualifying heats. Kids came from all the neighboring towns to try and get a shot. Homies and I are getting pretty pumped, like this could only go awfully and we're psyched. Announcer calls the number for my heat. I get out on the park and pick my starting point. Announcer is like "alright everyone we have this heat with..... Timtom..." and all the homies yell TIMTOMMMMM, and then I look to my right and my competitor is Patrick. Patrick is announced and they start the music. I felt real stupid at that point but I had to go through with the act. Patrick looks at me like you fuckin cunt hahaha, but it was all in good fun. I made sure to stay out his way cause he was really going for it.
Anyway he smoked me, and I didn't advance but that's no surprise. Timtom was a flop - my tricks included a couple bonelesses, a bunch of bertlemans, some laybacks and a handful of synchronized swimming type kickturns. Patrick was doing back noseblunts, big switch heelflips and shit. I don't recall if he won that day, but he definitely won in life. And that rules.
It was great. The stupid memories that make you smile at night. What a lovely summer day.
