And the last one? and this is really the one for me right here, I hate that fucking super hug-out after someone makes a trick. Somebody puts something down and every single one of their friends runs up to fucking hug them. Why? This ain?t fucking hockey! You didn?t just score a goal! This ain?t soccer. This is skateboarding, dude.

Whenever you make a fucking banging-ass trick and you hear people cheering in the background, that?s dope. But you gotta play it cool. Everybody has to play it cool. Don?t go running up to the guy and fucking hug him! Let him come to you. Make your trick, go over to your homies and give them dap and pounds and all that shit, then leave it alone. Everybody doesn?t need to be hugging each other. Goddamn.

i respect his view on that but don't fully agree with it. i say, if you're stoked then you're stoked, do whatever the fuck you want. it's almost contradictory to say something like that as skateboarding is just supposed to be about doing whatever you feel like with your friends and having a good time. i am not trying to undermine kalis at all with my opinion, it is just that, my opinion.

I was talking to RB Umali about this a few days ago, trying to get him to bring back that whole New York thing. He had to break it down to me. He was telling me that while Manhattan is fun to skate and you can still there to get some work done, nobody has that same mentality anymore that our generation did. Nobody congregates anymore. Kids go to school now, they?re not hanging out downtown all-day like we used to.
