Its so weird to see people you see in skate videos and magazines in real life. Or to meet someone and then see them in stuff like that..its weird. I went to Arizona almost a month ago and it was like stepping into another world. Not really. But there were dudes I've only seen in magazines and photos and videos, just skating a local park and to me its just really weird to see. Its awesome, but wierd. What's even weirder is knowing that there's people that skate with them on a daily basis and it's not even weird to them. No big deal. The way I see it, to them it's just another dude that skates. It obviously is, they're just really, really good.
I think I'll always feel weird skating around dudes that are that good. I think if I lived and skated somewhere with dudes like that around all the time, I would stand around most of the time and just watch. I would hate to get in their way. Maybe I'd get used to it eventually. It would probably take a long time though.
One dude I saw on my trip was Marty Murawski at Tempe Park. First time I ever heard about him was watching Wednesdays with Reda. Seeing him skate in real life...it's weird. So weird. Thats the only way I know how to explain it. Weird. Amazing. Awesome.
Another dude, Ryan Reyes. I saw that dude twice before I officially met him. Meeting him was so surreal. I shook his hand and seriously thought I'd wake up any second and be back home in Florida. My mouth got all dry and my face probably got all red. I think I almost forgot my name. Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating, but meeting him was awesome enough to get a status update on facebook. That's saying something! I definetly have to say that RyRey has been one of my favorite skaters since I started skating and finally meeting him was insane. Seeing him skate in person was even more insane. Super starstruck everytime for sure.
I've watched this video soooo many times!
