One thing they don’t really tell you about getting older… at least nobody told me… is how much you can grow apart from the people you once saw every single day.
@brooksshuping was maybe the second skater I ever met, and we instantly became best friends. We skated and hung out pretty much every day. This clip right here is from when we were touring across America back in ‘07 — he filmed, I filmed… that’s just what we did.
We don’t skate or see each other much these days, but I’ll always make sure to show love, especially today.
Happy Birthday 🎂 bro. For real… without you, I might not even be here. You answered a call when I needed it most and gave me the courage to get sober.
Love you always. 🖤🛹 #bestfriendforever #leandrehayes #throwback #ridesiddy #thevoidskateshop
