What Has My Utmost Respect

This is actually rare out of most people, but I do not consider myself a fan of much other than myself. I'm not a fan of any YouTubers, celebrities, blah blah blah. However, I am actually a fan of a few things based off what I grew up from physically and mentally. This is what they are.

Legend of Zelda


I grew up playing Legend of Zelda and I think my life is pretty much based off of it from being all heroically nice and having that little friend who is intended to be my partner in crime. I also think this game is what gave me the start of having great taste in music too. The whole Phucat stuff I have going on is what this series helped got my ideas started on most of my videos. Oh and funny thing, this game also \got me into a few sports too such as archery and bowling from those fun mini games. Inspiration for music taste, sports, and doing the good deeds.

Rodney Mullen


I pretty much grew up watching this man skate from all the videos that my old friends showed me and I didn't even know he is the inventor of all of the modern street skating tricks. He's the first person to come up on the screen when I watched my first skate video ever called Rodney vs Daewon Round 2. No matter how many times I watch his videos, his skating never gets old because he does the most amazingly difficult tricks that I know for a fact that I will never ever be able to do. Inspiration for skateboarding.

This is in addition because they followed in Mullen's footsteps as well. One of my former teammates, Ryan Huston and Samuel Lance Adams, are also an inspiration for being my mentors as I grew up in the skateboard world. Huston taught me how to do normal kickflips (I strangely learned kickflip body varials first) and being fearless against skating over large objects and Adams taught me how to do heelflips and skate with an old school style in which case we used Freestyle.

PJ Ladd


Second skateboarder that has my utmost respect; East coast, only skates technical, his style reminds me of Ryan Huston's style, and his social skills is pretty chill (not shy, but not too much talking either) just like the few of my friends and I today. Just watching this guy is like watching one of my mentors take on the pros in a game of skate like it's just a normal day. I wouldn't say he's the replacement of Rodney Mullen. He is more of the active technical street skating type of Rodney Mullen.

Mortal Kombat


Just like Legend of Zelda, I grew up to Mortal Kombat and I love it because it really gets me into reading stories, I enjoy the soundtracks, and there's mutuality going on between the chosen warriors and myself. Liu Kang and Kung Lao are a shaolin monks which basically relate to my religion, Buddhism, and Johnny Cage is a movie star which relates to me being an entertainer and filmmaker. Hearing these guys fighting for the forces of evil just gives me chilly feeling!
