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.

Hopefully now that more people know about Shawn Powers some of his sponsors could start to get him money so he can do more art travel more and skate around the globe.

When I came back to skateboarding, I didn’t expect much but getting back to my old tricks.
What I found is a community where everybody seems to relate to each other, where everybody is a “friend”.
Shawn is no rad nor dumb; but he sure is a fellow.
Show some love, the guy needs it…
