Met "The Traveller" Kenny Reed in the flesh today while he was in Singapore for a regional skate competition. I camped around the park hoping to bump into him, finally saw him, his wife and child going towards a mall. Was starstruck, first pro I ever met IRL, and he was so friendly and chill. He's really tall.
He even signed 2 boards I had in my stash - a Kenny Reed popwar and a Populis board numbered 44/500. First time I got an autograph from a pro IRL.
Shalom moment for sure.
While I was outside wrapping up the boards in cling film some random came up to me and asked if I wanted some wheels. Got brand new ones from a local company Fakie.
Also picked up a brand new setup off a 2nd shop for $10. Element deck (urgh) but with brand new Indy hollows, Spitfire F4 Classics and bearings. Took me an hour to get there but it was worth the trip.
