how about an amazing story?

im checking out of my hotel in Atlanta, GA today. a woman approaches me.

this woman tells me her son has been observing me over the past couple days.

when im introduced to her son, this kid knows everything about everything.

he told me the brand of the kicks i was wearing the day prior. broke down skateboard culture, and sneaker culture to me respectively.

coolest part of all of this is the kids name. Vega. his brother; Bravo. amazing.

shared a few words with them, took some photos. gave my hats away.

they’ll grow into the hats.

for 11 years old, Vega is the coolest kid on Earth. i got his cell number.

yes, he has a cell phone.

i plan to keep in touch.

sidebar: he can probably skateboard better than you.
