was with a white-ish friend i say white-ish because dude was an olive skinned, "white" puerto rican cat
back back back in the day (jr high and high school age) i was a black skater kid in southern california for the most part we would skate in long beach and LA but, some of the time we had to go to deep orange county because thats where the good skate parks where in all the skate videos we would obsessively watch
we were once at a demo in orange county (the big van comes out, pros come and bust some tricks and pass out swag) at a skate park, sponsor banners were up, music was blasting
this friend was a level 10000 asshole.
so, while we were there he was cutting down banners (they placed sponsor banners up, and hey, what skate kid WOULDNT want a banner of a brand they loved so much?). he would sneak over, cut one down, quickly fold it up and put it in his backpack and then sit on the backpack
so i noticed and i say "dude, what the fuck are you doing?" he says "ah man, just take them shits! here, go get that one over there, i know you like (skate brand)"
i'm like "uh.......yeah, i do want that...let me go gaffle that shit"
(for the record i was quite dumb and quite young)
So i do the same exact thing he did, sneak over with the pocket knife and I get to cutting the rope, I get one rope cut when out of nowhere 5 grown ass pro skaters rush over and where like
"BRO! HEY BRO! WHAT. ARE. YOU. DOING? NOT COOL BRO! WHAT THE HELL BRO?! ARE YOU TRYING TO STEAL FROM US BRO?"
When i looked over at my friend he didnt even recognize me, i was on my own.
i was under fire and in the end shit was cool after a long long talk
"yeah man, we just come out here to skate for you guys, be cool bro"
after the heat my friend at the time was like "man..........i told you not to do that"
its funny now but i used to be heated when i would go over his house and he would have the same fucking banners he ganked just posted on his walls.
but uh, crazy shit like mountain biking, camping all that other "white people stuff"? i just love to do that on my own. always have, always will.
