Daewon Song: Daewon comes to my local park ever so often. I was in the park once when it was completely empty, then I see Chase & Daewon come in and they start filming. I've been trying to manual to manual from tranny to flat (I also didn't want to just sit there and watch them), so I was just doing something basic, couldn't really get a hang of it, but when I finally got it Daewon got so stoked for me and screamed "YES!" when i finally got it, I got super happy, caught me off guard that he was actually watching me. A little bit after, I asked Chase what they were filming for and he told me it was for The Berrics. Soon enough, a new video from The Berrics is up with Daewon and I'm in the background for a split second looking like a goof. Side note: I remember Daewon complaining about his Andale Bearings being too sticky, which is funny to me because I've never heard a pro complaining about his sponsors before.
Rodney Mullen & Louie Barletta: Met Rodney & Louie at Agenda Fest recently, I was completely shook when I met Rodney, because y'know its Rodney. I was stuttering my words and shaking, but I got a picture with him and told him he's a huge inspiration and he said thanks. Louie was apart of the whole meet and greet, but he was mainly hanging back because people were mainly there for Rodney, he got super stoked that people were still fanning out to Rodney. When i went over to him I shook his hand and asked him about KOTR, he said there's a bunch of twists and turns and to wait on it. Both cool dudes.
Random People & Random Instances: Saw Jason Dill once outside of Supreme, wanted to say hi, but he's really intimidating, at the same time he was getting mad at some kid for not knowing a certain skate brand or something like that. Saw Mike Carroll walking down Fairfax, but I wasn't completely sure it was him, so I yelled "MIKE" from my moving car, I see him turn his head and look confused.
