A couple summers ago me and my friend made a summer setup [ drop in & box ]. There wasn't any room in either of our backyards to properly session it, so we brought it to a parc closeby. So we get the session started and everythings going good.
What I failed to mention is that the parc is also located very close to an elementary school. So all of a sudden, in the distance, we see a whole crowd of tiny kids [ who we later found out were part of a gym class ] approaching the parc. They got to the the parc and started playing soccer while being supervised by their teacher ... but after a while some kids started to notice what we were doing. Being curious little buggers they began to form a crowd around us. Asking questions, cheering us on and just observing the spectacle being put on.
Another thing I failed to mention was that my friend was a snowboarder. Where might this fall into the story you ask? Well here it is. So yeah we continued our session while the kids watched. They couldn't of been older than 9 but the crowd was a bit intimidating [ not that we let it show ], as little kids can be pretty straightforward and harsh in their own way; especially in a large group. Anyways, the session continues when all of a sudden one little dude steps towards my friend while I'm at the top of the drop in. My friend looks at the kid, who then loudly tell hims "You know, that skiier is cooler than you." Which is answered by a cheer from the rest of the kids.
Needless to say I drop in. Stomp. Smile.
