Sean Malto Interviewby Mike Sinclair on Wednesday, April 05, 2006
How old are you?
16
Were you even skating in the 90's?
I started skating in like 98 or 99, so yeah I guess for a little bit.
Have you ever heard of Bill Tocco?
Nope.
Ok cool. How about Steve Salisian?
Never heard of him either.
That's cool, he jumped off of a construction ladder into a vert ramp once. Brennan Schoeffel?
Don't know who that is either.
What was your first board and why did you buy that one?
It was a Trainwreck Zero board. Zero was one of my favorite companies for a
while and all my friends rode the boards so I thought I'd ride one as well.
Do you still live in Kansas?
Yeah.
Do you think you will ever move to California?
I'll probably move out there sometime but I have to finish school first.
How long have you been on Girl Skateboards?
I was on flow for like two years and I just got on like a month ago.
How did that happen?
My friend Adrian sent my tape out and I got the call from Sam Smyth like a
week later.
What year did Girl Skateboards start up?
1993.
Who was the youngest pro on Girl when they started up back in 1993?
Guy or Carroll (last two questions were answered with the help of Sam
Smyth).
Are you filming for a part right now?
Not really, I just got done filming for that Through Being Nice video so now
I'm just trying to save up as much footage as I can.
What video will it be in?
I guess whatever video comes up first.
Who do you usually skate with in KC?
Just some of my friends like Ryan Lovell, Garrett Olinger, Aaron Smith,
Joseph Lopez, Max Chilen, and a few other dudes.
Who are all of your sponsors?
Analog, Thunder, Spitfire, Girl, DC, Livewire Bearing, and Escapist
Skateshop.
Would you ever date a girl that skates?
No way.
How about a goth chick?
Maybe if she was cool and looked good.
Do you and Sheckler have any beef?
Ha, no. I've only talked to him a few times and he's always been pretty
cool.
What young dudes do you think rip?
David Gonzales, Mike Mo Capaldi, and my friend Josh White.
What is on your schedule for 2006?
Not really too much. Just go on some tours and skate as much as I can.
Have you ever been to South of The Border?
Nope.
Who would you like to give thanks too?
God, my friends and family, all my sponsors, and everyone that helped me
out.
