The first time I heard of him, was innnnn, I believe 6th or 7th grade (I'm in 11th now), when my then friend had a photo of him in her locker.
I thought he was pretty cute.
I never really had a 'becoming a fan' point. 'Cause after my then friend told me his name, I looked it up, and watched a few videos on youtube. And I've kept a casual update on what was going on with him through the years.
But most recently when I decided to get back into skating again I've kept a closer look on what he's been doing.
He's such an amazing skater, and he seems to be such a chill, awesome guy.
