ITS WILD BECAUSE IS WAS ACTUALLY GOOD ON A SKATEBOARD IT SEEMED HE JUST DID ALL THAT DICK SHIT AND WAS A TOTAL CLOWN .

THE ROCCO AD WAS FUNNY AS FUCK

[pica]

wow.... anotherone who slipped into the christianity thing.

"going to ethiopia giving them bibles and boards."

[trannies and mannies]

Good interview, that rocco ad was great. I wish companies  still did that.

[sluggers]

Good interview, that rocco ad was great. I wish companies  still did that.

They would if Rocco was as cool with it as George Powell was and didn't sue.

 powell started that 'ad war' and powell was legit at the time so it just went back and forth

woodstock on the other hand-  not so much. a matter of respect i guess

[srsbsnss]

Couldn't stand this guy when I was a kid but looking back he did some pretty hard to do shit (indy grab over  someone off a loading dock on a crutch with trucks bolted on it can't be easy). If he had focused more on shredding and less on being a clown who put out the ugliest pro model shoe ever he might still be relevant.

The part in the sonic video where he and the other dude 360 flipped and he landed on the other guys board was cool but the awful music he made that ended up in the big brother video and the christian thing just killed any hope that kids of today or anyone in the  future will remember him as anything other than some douchebag who wore a penny suit.

[Alan]

He was rad. He actually had a sense of humor during a time when everybody else was busy posturing. He was doing something different (and successfully at that) which is why I don't get people who hate him. And his shoe didn't look much different than the rest of Vans shoes during that period.
The other guy on the 360 flip was Jason Adams, btw.

[360 frip]

His part with the skim board park section was pretty crazy. Didn't he tre-flip that thing?

[natenola forever]

He did a demo in Baton Rouge maybe with the Sonic team, and he was amazing he didnt do too much gimmick stuff just really good skating.
He was just as good or better than any pro of that era, there was a fly out to beam thing at that park that every trannyish pro would do when they did a demo there Simon actually grinded the beam over a doorway to grab into another quarterpipe. Pretty much destroyed every fly every other pro did there. Grim do you remember that demo?

[SFblah]

I've actually heard pros/ams from his time say that when he really skated he was pretty damn good, and the posts above back it up.

no food though

[darrin lee]

I'll never forget his pro model Vans shoe, there was a red and blue colour way that looked seriously like a clown shoe.  Ugliest, but funniest, pro model I've ever seen.  Alas it seems there's no photos of that colour online...

[Dishonest John]

Really nice interview, thanks for that.
He seems to be a cool guy.
I always enjoyed his crazy stuff

[Simon Woodstock]

Thanks for all the comments, everyone! It's always interesting to see the diverse responses that my skate career generates. Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do for any of you on here. Love, Simon J. Woodstock

42 years young and still skatin!

Yeah!

[Simon Woodstock]

HA! Aint that the truth!

[Max Power]

I remember seeing Simon doing all his craziness on Mtv Sports with Dan Cortez.  Some stuff was kinda corny but I think that was sorta the point.  Nice to see someone doing their own thing and having a laugh.  Dude was obviously creative and talented.  

I think I still have this shirt somewhere:

wow.... anotherone who slipped into the christianity thing.

"going to ethiopia giving them bibles and boards."

no food though

We brought them food and clothes too. It was a pretty amazing trip. Even if you set the Christian aspect aside, the kids were just sooo stoked to see skateboarding for the first time. It was amazing to be a part of that trip

[HairyCunt]

wow.... anotherone who slipped into the christianity thing.

"going to ethiopia giving them bibles and boards."

Yeah, he has lost his mind. They skipped the part where he fought Shaun Palmer at ASR.
His pro was sick. Those Brown/Gum ones would be tight today.  Airwalk Bowler shoes are great too.

[baconeggandcheese]

yo it looks like you scared the shit out of that kid


Edit: But forreals, welcome to slap!  That interview was good.

I think the Christian aspect is disgusting, and negates the positive things. The last thing Africa needs is religion.

The majority of Ethiopians are devout orthodox Christians, and have been for hundreds of years. He's not a fucking conquistador, it's just charity.

[vegan*shawn]

Always liked Simon's skating, I am not one for religion, but if that is what makes ya happy so be it, just don't preach it to me!!

Anyone got a link to the Sonic videos?

Suck my dick.

[Simon Woodstock]

It's cool, man.. Not really on here to discuss my faith. It just comes out in interviews like the ffl because it is part of my history in the 90s. Here's to fun skating. peace!
