An Interview With Paul Rodriguez

by Mike Sinclair on Thursday, February 08, 2007
People love to see footage of you, what video projects are you working on?
Well right now im filming for a Nike video. and i got a dope ass website coming with some heavy hitters.
You have a myspace page now. Is there anything you want people to know about that?
Yeah go check it out. I try to answer as many questions as possible but there are so many every day its hard keep up.
There is a buzz that you are doing some acting now. Do you have anything coming out where you act?
Well i just finished 2 movies "Street Dreams" and another one called "Vicious Circle". look for them this year.
Do you still live at a skate house or do you have a place you can call home now?
Im settled in baby
When a sponsor of yours calls and says it's time to go on tour are you stoked and want to know where your going or do you feel like it's just taking away from filming and hanging in your own environment.
I deffinetly get bummed when its time to go on tour, because i feel that my skating can progress more when im at home.
With Ryan Sheckler getting on Plan B it looks like you guys have a monster of a team. What is coming up for Plan B in the future?
Big plans. Expect the best skate video the world has ever seen...
Are you pushing your self to learn new tricks a lot or do you like to get the ones you already have more consistent?
I like to work on both of those areas.
How often do you change you set up? Decks, wheels, trucks and shoes?
I change my board usaully every 3 or so days. i try to ride my trucks as long as i can. shoes i change after every couple boards and wheels when ever they flat spots.
When you need to shoot an ad for one of your sponsors do you go shoot something for them or just tell them to call a photographer you shoot with all the time to see what they have of you?
That can go either way it just depends.
Who do you think is pushing skateboarding to its limits?
What tricks can you do better switch than regular?
heel flips and hard flips
What is your favorite flatground, ledge and flat bar trick to do?
Any thing that i can land is my favorite.
When you go to a big contest do you think your going to try as hard as you can or do you just go with the flow and see what happens?
I try my hardest other wise why go, but if i do shity im ok.
When you think of everything you've done and everyone you met through your skateboard experiences what are some of your favorite moments?
Meeting Tom Penny, Eric Koston and all the other legends i grew up watching.
Your second shoe for Nike is coming out in March, are you excited for that?
Hell yeah i love my first one but this one is even better.
