I watched the Profile video when I was transferring it onto my ipod about 6 months ago. Does that count? I haven’t seen the FIT video in years.

I can’t remember? Mike Graham. I hope that was the FIT video.

I just talked to him and I am sworn to secrecy. It was hella funny though. I wish I could share it with you. Sorry.

A little over a year ago. When we hooked up with Lotti for that 1st and Hope video.

About 18 years ago?

It was my board. Earlier that day we were skating some curb and I guess I was too close behind him so he kicked his board into me and I almost slammed so he said “You shouldn’t skate so close behind to me”. So later that day I kicked my board into him when he skated close behind me. He didn’t like it too much so he threw my board on the roof but it flew right off because there was an end to that roof. They edited it right before you see my board fall off the roof. It was funny.

I was on a H-Street tour up the west coast that summer when I talked to my friend in SF Nick Tershay. He told me about how everyone we knew was humping this girl. So on our way back to San Diego at the end of the tour we stopped in SF for a demo at Embarcadero. She was there. She hooked me up in the van during the demo. So on our way out she came with us to my house and devirginized some of us that hadn’t… you know. When we were leaving she said she lived in Mission Viejo and wanted to come with us. Our van had no back seats, just a driver and passenger seat and a chair that we stole from a hotel. She made that ride really short and did a lot of favors. We got her home and she had a blowout with someone in her family so she jumped back in and we took her to her friends house while she was knocking on their door we threw all of her shit out and took off to SD. The very Next day! The very next day we were just finishing skating school W. As we were getting to our cars she comes walking up the driveway! I have no idea how some random girl that gets dumped in Mission Viejo finds School W.! So we took her back to the H-Street house and she wasn’t very welcome there Tony Mag and his girlfriend at the time weren’t feeling her at all. So we took her back to School W. But it was night time. We still had the van that we had the van that we had on our tour so we brought the chair out under one of the parking lot lights and she did a naked dance for us. She then let someone who I’m sure would freak out if I mentioned his name play hide a Clearly Canadian bottle up in certain places. It was so insane! After that we dropped her off somewhere off of the freeway close to there. The next thing I know I’m in Reno and there she is again. I have no idea how she got there. Fast forward, very dark hotel room, Weiss’s naked silhouette in front of the TV saying “let me finish her off”. Her name was “Hurricane Helen”.

One time after some Long Beach contest Rodney Mullen Let Sean drive his car. So him and Rick were on their way back to World and it was raining. Sean tried to make a right and lost control of the car and plowed into another car at a gas station. Suddenly Rick heard a loud reving noise. Sean had the car floored still. They were still smashed against the other car Rick was just looking at the dude in the other car and his face was freaked out. And then he saw Rodney drive by with Rocco. Once Rodney realized who was involved in the accident his face just dropped! Nice little PG story. That’s all I can give you for now. Sorry. OH yeah, Sean didn’t have a license either.

Wake up, check emails, get stuck clicking around on the internet, start wishing I wasn’t in LA cuz there’s nowhere to skate for more than 5 minutes, go to Girl or go skate Eric’s park, come home chill with my girl and dog, watch some shit on Tivo. Take my dog out for a pee and a poo. Go to sleep. Or some days I’ll just sit on the phone with costumer service for one reason or another all day long!

I don’t think it was any crazy experience or anything. It was pretty much just skating at Embarcadero everyday. The only kind of bad thing that stands out to me was that I could not learn any nollie flip or switch flip type of shit while everyone else was, I was trippin’ out. I think it was the first time I realized that I was done as a Pro skater. Then about a month or two before that video was done I finally started to learn ‘em.

Besides the fact that its 16 or so years later? Nothing. I’m still realizing that I’m done as a pro skater.

Who knows? I’ll tell you when I’m not pro. Then I will be able to tell if things are really strange or not.

The last time I got padded up was probably 97. Jake Phelps ramp right by Thrasher. I’ve cruised around on a couple on resent tours but they’re hella big now.

I can’t have one of his beers.

Tampa Vert and I feel like I heard a story about him and vert aids?

MTV.

I got his autograph cuz he was standing next to Hosoi at a Sacto street contest. I was so bummed when I was a little kid and I heard he played tennis. I was like skaters shouldn't do anything but skate!

“Pop it like you popped that pussy last night” dude saying to his friend while trying to ollie a table. It was really dumb at the time but it’s probably one of the best quotes ever!

As long as Red Bull is in business. I hope a lot longer cuz when I start judging contests I want him to be parting along with me.
