Way back in 2007 Daewon did a demo at evo skatepark in greeneville SC and I was one of a few kids who were skitching on the back of his team's van when they were leaving. He was so impressed that he took off his shirt that he was wearing and threw it out of the van. Needless to say. I still have that shirt to this day, framed and fondly remembered as one of the greatest moments of my teenage life.

I never really got into the world of skateboarding, as I grew up longboarding. That being said, I love skateboarding as a form of expression and self healing. I am now in my late 20's with crippling depression, but the hapiness that Daewon Song brings me is insurmountable. I genuinely smiled the whole time while rewatching this video for the 999th time. It only gets bettter. Thank you for KZbin, and Daewon. You're a fucking legend!

I remember when Rodney vs Daewon first came out. Unbelievable. And then part 2, part 3, ... I never looked at his pic-nic table skating as anything lame in any way. With the kind of style and command he had of his skateboard, and the difficulty of the tricks he did, there was no way my friends or I could think anything negative. On another note, I didn't know Daewon had taken any sort of hiatus from skateboarding before the release of Trilogy. Man, am I glad he picked up that video part in Trilogy. His part seriously made had me stoked on skateboarding. Watching him skate those smallish beige ledges at that one school ... damn, man, I couldn't believe how clean and fast he rode. And Daewon, it seemed to me, was always behind the scenes, possibly someone who less serious skaters had never heard of. But those of us really into skateboarding always knew of his incredible talent. It was just a matter of when he was going to appear again. Thank you, Daewon, for being an inspiration for me and my friends. And thank you to World Industries and all of Daewon's sponsors who truly care about skateboarding, for making it possible for Daewon to make a living off skateboarding and to continue spreading his zeal for this awesome sport!

----It always bothered me WHY Mullen & Rocco screwed up & dropped the ball with the whoooole Love Child team including Kareem & not having they're World Industries decks released in time.. -By the time these dudes decks dropped= it was 2 years later and the World hype has started to fade some.-I don't even remember world decks from Daniel Catillo,Spencer Fujimoto,,Jed Walters..-The 1st Daniel Castillo deck I recall was on Chocolate.~~These dudes were soo popular the 6 months after Love Child and people woulda been all over these decks had they dropped...~~~if I'm not mistaken, that summer was when everyone had Jeremy Klein vegetables deck,,,The Mike Vallely elephant deckB4 his infamous double kick barnard..-The Rocco deck with Pooh bear on it.-and of COurse Jason Lee's 2 bind decks. Esp the big hat on little guy dr.seuss graphic..-Maybe Jesse Martinez was in there too.. Not to mention the 1ST Gonz blind deck..~~But had the love child street kids dropped decks @ same time! it woulda been a bum-rush to have them.--As I type this I think love child mighta been 18 months'ish later and afterwards And that could explain why the decks never dropped in time...ANYONE ELSE WITH A BETTER MEMORY CARE TO set the record str8 on the dates...--Daewons picnic tble joke is sooo funny..i laugh everytime ---Picnic tables---Look how easy he makes grinding and doing disaster slides on the top part. wtf!!!at best i could just slide the top part...the only grinding is the seat part for me :D but i was never a high high ollier..---tthat love child 4 step at the end of Daewons line woulda been a huge ollile for me..i woulda had to 180 up it most likely I wish Daewon could KNOW how eff'n EPIC his infamous long-line to open Love Child..--He is SOOOO Humble...-That kickflip wasn't "LAME". it was slo mo and showed style & uber control. everyone respected that kickflip..-The whole Love CHild video and Video Days made all teenagers now focus on style. ===Daewon is also the only due who could skate to The Killers(when were young) lol
