The thing that always bothered me about “Day In The Life” sections is that they always seemed so planned and scripted. Like the camera guy comes in and “wakes the skater up”, they visit a couple cool spots, “accidentally” bump into all their homies, crack a beer and fade to black. So naturally (stupidly) for this segment, we did the total opposite and came in with absolutely no preparation or really any idea of what we should be shooting. I figured we’d spend a couple of hours and hang out – whatever Shawn is doing that day, we would do it with him, whether that’s grabbing a coffee, listening to music or holding his groceries. Here’s just a small glimpse of time we spent in the streets of Chinatown.

What is your definition of cool exactly? What I see is a piece of shit who is a piece of shit wrapped in shitty art, filled with women issues.

I thought is was sick. Shawn rules all. He has the best style out there.

Enjoyed it. Dude seems to have issues (who doesn’t) but at least he’s conscious of them and using skating/art to deal.
