When I started skating I thought anyone older than me that skated was the coolest person on the planet. Today, I'm not so sure that any of them were all that cool.
As far as pros/ams go, I thought Justin Roy was super cool. I met him (fanned out on him) at ASR when he was still on Foundation and he was super friendly.
This is so true .. i use to skate the local high school after school weekends
When I was like 10 fifth grade I never left the place..
all the other skaters were like 15,16 upwards I thought they were cool
Until I got to know them and kinda realised it was the other way round..
they were kinda kooks ...
except one dude had such a sick Ollie impossible and always skated h st boards with the red grip
I thought he was cool until we hung out a bit than I just he was lazy and smoked too many ciggerettes
Ahh to be ten.. my burn out mate was probably 16 tops.. ha
