1.) Favourite skater?
Neil Blender
2.) Favourite video?
Older videos to be honest as it reminds me of my youth. H-Street, G & S Footage, Speed Wheels vids, etc. And all the weird 80s contest videos that nobody saw for 40 years that turn up on Instagram all the time these days.
I liked Headz a lot too on a more recent tip.
3.) Favourite video part?
Neil Blender G&S Footage
4.) Best style?
Tom Penny.
5.) Biggest influence?
Natas Kaupas, Matt Hensley, Tom Knox, Alex Moul.
6.) Most talented skater?
Pure transcendent skill-wise: PJ Ladd, Yuto, that Aimu kid, pre-Girl Blind era Mariano, Bob Burnquist.
7.) Favourite trick?
Riding up steep things pretending they are walls.
8.) Hardest trick for you?
Any flip tricks these days.
9.) Most illegal trick?
Anything Iāll say will be a cliche.
10.) Worst trend participated in?
50" waist fluorescent orange Planet Earth jeans. I sold them to a rollerblader and they provided the template through which Puberty Clothing Jeans came to be.
11.) Gnarliest trick witnessed?
David Gonzales ollie down the bank and through the metal bridge girders in Newcastle - Queen St maybe? @Bish will know. I was genuinely afraid he would die as he was 4 feet high and 15, dressed in mock heavy metal outfit. Did it in 3 or 4 tries perfectly in the pitch black, knowing that the photo and footage wouldnāt come out because of how dark it was. Truly astounding shit.
Or, Howard Cooke frontside air on the Edge Lane vert quarter pipe with no coping. Full downhill barbarian push on shit tarmac towards razor sharp metal tranny. He flew off the side once because of how slippy the surface was. Itās on Viewfinder I think, maybe the first one? I filmed it really badly.
12.) Biggest bunt?
That Iād make a skate video on my own, ever.
13.) Last new trick you learnt?
Re-learning old stuff on different things avec extreme struggs.
14.) Dream job/What is your job?
Something in education but extremely well paid and somewhere tropical.
15.) Sponsor regret/Gear regret?
I regret shilling for corporations.
16.) Worst teammate/favourite teammate? (Maybe just a pick a team and pick the best person and shittest person?)
No answer here. Barely met any total wankers ever.
16.) Worst company
shrug emjoi - Lars Tetens maybe?
17.) Worst current trend?
Not realising that being creative doesnāt necessarily validate regression.
Ditching humility.
18.) Worst style?
Me, on video. Feels much better in my body.
19.) Last person you want on the session?
Judgemental wunderkinds.
