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.

Sorry, but this dude is super lame.

I don’t know what happened with his skating, his parts in 56K and Solo Jazz were amazing but since then his parts have consisted of 2 tricks which is often a rocket kickflip and a near miss pop shuv followed by a lot of pushing to something gimmicky.. He’s got character… but kind of bummed me out that he willingly tossed his coffee cup into the street.. pick your shit up man.
