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.

Didn’t like this. Every day in the life in NYC segment is like Jason Dill’s 411 day in the life segmant (mostly dull).
I like the traditional format you were trying to avoid Jenkem, particuarly p rod old 411 day in the life, it had a decent amount of amazing tricks.

Yo this is sick I dunno why people hating on him, just a different kind of dude. One thing though why’d it just straight end? Is there more to come

maybe coz he begs for a cigarette and then looks at the camera with a smile full of anticipation for aprooval? what a fucking low end gimp. if hes real street and a man then he can be arrogant enough not to ask for a fucking tab. so gay and childish. people who consistently rely on other people should be shot (unless they are retarded and actually need help). people who rely on others for fun should be shot twice just to make sure
