But in my second season in the American Hockey League I got into a stupid fight with this fucking shoobie and tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus. I would play hockey during the winter then tour and film as much as possible for Birdhouse in the off-season. I was 16 and I felt like all these eyes were on me. “I got into a stupid fight with this fucking shoobie and tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus. With the little deals I had at the time I was buying all the weed and booze for Lars and his crew, so they just pushed me to do whatever was gonna make the most money, which was hockey. Sam and Twister, my best friends, were off being normal kids so I started hanging with Twister’s brother, Lars. Once all the adults in my life were gone my sister Reggie went away to college. One day this kid asked him for extra fries so Tito grabbed the kid’s hand, put it in the deep frier, and held that shit down for like twenty seconds. Tito started drinking all the time, like showing up to work at four in the afternoon shit faced, trying to fucking cook burgers. Turns out he’d battled depression for years and it kicked in after Raymundo died. Tito couldn’t deal with Raymundo’s death either. She went off to do her own thing for a while. My step-mom, Noelani, didn’t take his death well. Tito, the cook at the Shore Shack, moved back to Hawaii. That’s the thing, I couldn’t make up my mind. With all those offers, which one did you take? But hey, when I was making the kind of money he is now, I was just as much of a shit. I haven’t seen Sheckler in years and Nyjah probably wouldn’t recognize me. We were warming up and we made this pact to skate together for the rest of our lives. I remember once I was skating a contest with Nyjah and Ryan Sheckler. I just think when you’re that young and you have skate companies, surf companies, hockey teams, and whatever else being offered to you, you kinda lose your mind. A couple hockey teams wanted me to play for them professionally. After Tony Hawk came on the show he wanted me to ride for Birdhouse. Rocket Power went off the air thirteen years ago.
