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.

Seriously. It’s hilarious how he is proud to show you how to steal. Acting like he invented the down the leg and up the arm. Bitch, have you seen KIds?! Everyone knows that. They just don’t apply it as stealing is up there with rape. Two things this kid is clearly cool with. This idiot doesn’t know shit. Just a boy pretending to be a man.

I can’t wait for the follow up doc when he is in prison. Talk about a try-hard. This is one of the reasons it’s better to not know anything about a skater except for his skating. What a fucking tool.
