My hair was enormous. I usually try to do a stylish little "power puff" as I call it when I skate, but that day in Baltimore was so hot and humid that it turned into a giant fro in no time. I thought it was funny so I went with it. As soon as I got done with the show, I had calls from friends who saw pictures on the Internet, a subtle style bashing from my mom and dad and even my Vanya was laughing. I skated fine and enjoyed myself. The hair was just a funny happening, kinda like when I trip walking up stairs or spill coffee all over my car. It comes with the territory of being me.
