Info from Licensor: "We’re located in Bourbonnais, IL. That day my son and I were going to pick up his bike that was getting fixed. Instead, when we passed the skate park it was filled with people! TJ got excited and asked if we could go since he had his skateboard with him. 'Of course,' I said, 'but we’re only staying an hour so we can go back and get your bike from the shop!' Among the people, many of them that we’ve seen plenty before including Ben. We didn’t know his name at this point. We just noticed the face. I was hanging out in the car watching and it was the sweetest thing. Ben started teaching and I started recording! TJ’s one hour limit had surpassed at that point, but I didn’t care. TJ got the drop in down pat and Ben wanted to teach him other tricks, but it started to rain. So, I told TJ to tell the nameless man thank you. And ZOOM...Ben left so quick on his skateboard and I couldn’t even offer him a ride for his kindness! Since then, it’s been quite unbelievable. TJ tells everyone he’s famous and that he’s been on Sports Center! It warms my heart and I hope he remembers this for the rest of his life."
