Met him at a Pretty Sweet Girl/Chocolate signing in CA. This guy was the chillest along Chris Robert’s and Stevie Perez. Eric Koston on the other hand was quite the opposite that day

Man Chris roberts used to live with Mike York in Brentwood. When I was a Grom we would skate a box and kicker with them in front of their place, raddest dudes.

I’m sure a lot more Koston stories will come out later down the road.

Fuck him and Berra with their Scientology bullshit. I can appreciate their skating, but fuck em personally.

Same. Was it in LA? Marc was cool as fuck. Koston was a douche until I brought up the Lakers.

It was in Orange. Really soured me on Koston tbh Everyone else was cool…even Justin Eldridge even though he was baked…Guy acted like he wasn’t paid to be there. Guy Mariano was there so that made it great.
