That was really great. I knew he’d been through some tough times but had no idea of how bad his problem with alcohol was. Glad he’s doing well now.
Also, I never knew that was his voiceover on the flip industry section. I read somewhere that it was Gunner.
Really enjoyed his Brain Drain one too and echo the nice chap sentiments. Drinking story was hardcore, I dont recall that in the Brain Drain one although I may be been drinking when I watched it. I know I’ve been drinking far too much recently without a break and when I had withdrawal symptoms last week it was a proper alarm, more than my liver function tests being abnormal. Had Mon-Thurs off, drank Fri, Sat and Sun and managed to make a bell of myself on here Sunday night. Stinking hangover on Saturday and Sunday night just wasn’t enjoying it. Oh well. Anyhow, not Mikes drinking thread - Ali always comes across as sound.
Edit: Video now has its own thread -
Not listened yet… just surprised to see an interview from one of the most reclusive pros out there
‘He’s filmed countless video parts’ - a sentence said in the first 30 seconds
Edit. It’s a very awkward interview. DG isn’t that great an interviewer and his questions are more like statements which PJ then just smiles awkwardly at
Yeah it’s an ok watch but this isn’t the PJ interview I’d been hoping for. Danny Gonzalez isn’t a good interviewer. Nice to see PJ doing good though. I hope that The Bunt can convince him to do an episode.
Ah yes, Danny “I’m the Gonz now” Gonzalez, kicked out of the industry for being a kook.
Whilst he was, 1) In FTC of all places and, 2) He said that to the actual Gonz . Doh 
Must have been a joke that backfired.
Interesting that PJ is effectively sponsorless and just floating around. Surely a Krooked guest board can’t be too far off.
Think Pj asked as many questions of “The Gonz”, felt like awkward conversation for the most part.
Danny Gonzalez’s opinion part has always been a guilty pleasure, maybe it’s the Joe Strummer song.
His channel has like 360 subscribers, he must have called in some massive favours. It’s like your mates podcast getting a Penny interview
Haven’t watched it in a while but I don’t remember too much to feel guilty about with that one. I’ll give it a watch now in fact.
Kook aside, you can’t really front on this
That’s pretty funny tbh. He absolutely ripped, one foot manuals aside.
Yeah god I love this clip/photo.
He’s done some gimmicky stuff and made one ever so slightly daft comment but that trick is unfuckwithable
Was mainly the nose manuals, pushing off a wall to switch manuals
He also tried to get this:
Thrasher/EA (iirc) also used his silhouette as part of the logo of the EA Skate game without paying him/asking permission too didn’t they? I’m suspicious of the ‘I’m the Gonz now’ story for that reason and also because of Thrasher’s penchant for black listing people for spurious/unspoken reasons and then getting Phelps to say it was down to kookery.
He may well be a tool but he wouldn’t be the first person to have the career assassinated by the Nor Cal contingent.
Didn’t Jamie Thomas get banned for sleeping with a prominent Dlx owners wife too which was then played off as him not repping the right trick sponsor or something?
Kickflip melon Wallenberg first go is also unfuckable with, as similarly to what anon said Phelps always seemed to be one of the most anti street grab critics,
Wasn’t Jeremy Wray banned for ditching a DLX sponsor?
